Influence of Temperature on the Sorption Isotherms of Building Materials
Benjamin Kiema, Windnigda Zoungrana, Iliyassé Konkobo, Aziz Koanda, Ousmane Coulibaly, and Antoine Bere
Building materials are porous and interact with moisture in the ambient air through sorption phenomena. However, under real world using conditions, the temperature of these materials varies constantly. The problem is that this temperature variation influences the materials' ability to adsorb or desorb moisture, which can distort the assessment(...)

Somatomedin C (IGF-1), Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEA-S) and Hcy Metabolism in Postmenopausal African Women
Cecilia Zuppi, Jacques Simpore, Bruno Zappacosta, Cinzia Carrozza, Mariano Malaguarnera, Salvatore Musumeci
Biological aging implies a progressive decrease of endocrine and metabolic
resources, which correspond to a reduction of working activity and caloric intake.
The aim of this study was to measure DHEA-S and IGF-1 and products of
methionine metabolism in 76 postmenopausal African women (50 to 100 years of
age) compared to 22 adult African fe(...)

Orange-fleshed sweet potato: a potential source of antioxidants and provitamins “A” for the fortification of a local infant food flour.
Adama Hema, Moumouni Koala, Oumar Toé, Koussao Somé, Eloi Palé, Abdoulaye Sérémé, Jacques Simporé, Mouhoussine Nacro
Orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is a potential source of carotenoids (provitamins A), and its flour has
been used to enrich the Misola, an infant food based flour. The new biofortified formulation presented nutritional
qualities which could contribute in protein-energy recovery and improvement of the immune status of moderate
malnourishe(...)

On the Dynamics of a SEIHR Model With Delays in Diagnosis and a Class of General Incidence Functions
Ali TRAORE, F. Victorien KONANE
The susceptible, exposed, infectious, hospitalized, and recovered (SEIHR) model with delays in diagnosis is investigated. A class of general incidence functions is considered. The threshold for the model is determined, and the stabilities of the equilibrium points are examined. The effects of the delay in diagnosis on the spread of the disease(...)

Functionalization of Arabic Gum by Both Oxidation and Acylation: Application as Sensing Materials for the Electrochemical Determination of Phenolic Compounds
Ousmane Ilboudo, Serge Mbokou Foukmeniok, Yssouf Karanga, Yibor Fabrice Roland Bako, Issa Tapsoba, Ignas Tonlé Kenfack
Novel functionalized Arabic gums (AGs) were obtained by oxidation and acylation reactions on raw Arabic gum. The synthesized materials were used as modifiers of carbon paste electrodes for the determination of quercetin (QCT), rutin (RUT) and both p-aminophenol (PAP) and acetaminophen (APAP) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS), pH 6.0. T(...)

Artificial intelligence for IoT threat detection: Case of DDoS attacks
Dr. Yacouba OUATTARA Dr. Yaya TRAORE D. Moumine Arthur OUEDRAOGO
With the rapid expansion of connected objects in our daily lives, the risks of cyberattacks, particularly by distributed denial of service (DDoS), have increased considerably. IoT devices, often designed with few resources and little protection, are easy targets for cybercriminals. In this context, our study explores the role of artificial int(...)
