A Regional Structural Mapping Approach for Mineral Exploration: Application in the Southwestern Region of Burkina Faso
Kalidou Traoré, Benjamin Sawadogo, Koffi Vincent de Paul Vodounnou, Wilédio Marc-Emile Bonzi, Georges Alassane Ouattara, Morou François Ouédraogo, Séta Naba
From a harmonized structural map at the scale of a portion of SW Burkina Faso (90 × 80 km2), we targeted prospective zones on the basis of structural criteria and structure-geology relationships. The map was constructed from an aeromagnetic image, and the geology was deduced from old geological maps. The procedure involved extracting the magne(...)

Medium Access Control QoS Analysis in VANET, FANET Software Defined Radio Platform
Pegdwindé Justin Kouraogo, Hamidou Harouna Omar, Désiré Guel
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are critical for the advancement of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), enabling real-time vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. However, ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) in VANETs is challenging due to high mobility, dynamic topologies, and interference. This stu(...)

Gasification of Raw, Roasted and Carbonized Cashew Shells Using and Fixed Bed Co-Current Gasifier
Bénéwindé Edwige 2ème Jumelle Ouédraogo, Gado Harouna Ibrahim, Wend-Kuni Gisele Bilgo, Tizane Daho, Oumar Sanogo, Antoine Bere
The present study focuses on the improvement of gas quality by gasification of raw and cashew shells heat treatment by roasting and carbonization. The gasifier is a fixed-bed co-current batch mode, with a throat. It has a thermal power of around 30 kW. It meets the need for low electrical power of the order of 10 kWe. It has a double wall with(...)

Scrotal exploration for suspected testicular torsion in adolescents and adults: analysis of a series of 135 cases
Brahima Kirakoya1,2*, Clotaire Yameogo1,2, Morgane Kambou2, Ouedan Idogo2, Abdullah Ayed3, Gille Nacthagande4 and Fasnewinde Aristide Kabore1,2
Background Testicular torsion (TT) is the abnormal twisting of the spermatic cord leading to strangulation of the testis.
Any non-traumatic acute scrotal pain in adolescents and young adults is considered TT until proven otherwise. It
is a urological emergency. The diagnosis is clinically based on symptoms and signs that raise a high index o(...)

Indigenous knowledge and uses of Ficus species in the Sudanian zone of Burkina Faso: Prospects for sustainable management of their natural resources
Youssouf Sawadogo, Prospère Sabo, Aboubacar-Oumar Zon, Blaise Kabré, Mamounata Belem, Amadé Ouédraogo
Background: In Burkina Faso, Ficus is one of the largest plant genera. However, its resource availability, populations status and uses which are crucial for the conservation of the species have not been sufficiently documented. This study aims to fill this gap of knowledge. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were carried out purposively from(...)

Seeds of sustainability: Unveiling the population dynamics of Carapa procera, Lophira lanceolata, and Pentadesma butyracea for adaptive oilseed value chains
Fanta Reine Sheirita Tiétiambou, Dimobe Kangbéni, Kolawolé Valère Salako, Benjamin Lankoandé, Amadé Ouédraogo
Carapa procera, Lophira lanceolata, and Pentadesma butyracea are important non-timber forest products providing species with promising value chains of their oils. To assess whether traditional uses of these species are sustainable, this study analysed their population structure and regeneration patterns in non-protected sites. Three sites wher(...)

Les déterminants de l'évolution de carrière des enseignantes de l'enseignement technique tertiaire du Burkina Faso
Lucien ZAONGO ; Evariste Magloire YOGO ; Alizèta OUEDRAOGO
Malgré le nombre de plus en plus croissant de femmes dans le secteur de l’enseignement technique tertiaire, très peu d’entre elles accèdent à des postes de responsabilité ou au corps de l’encadrement pédagogique, et cela semble être lié à des facteurs multiples. Aussi, l’objet de cette étude vise à analyser dans quelle mesure les facteurs indi(...)

Evaluation of the physicochemical and nutritional characteristics of carp fish (Tilapia nilotica) from Lake Fitri in Chad
Djibrine Adoum Oumar, Adama Sawadogo, Hama Cissé , Charles Parkouda, Abdelsalam Tidjani and Savadogo Aly
The carp fish (Tilapia nilotica) from lake Fitri in Chad is of significant commercial and economic interest both nationally and sub-regionally. However, the nutritional and physicochemical characteristics of this fish are not sufficiently documented. Thus, the present study aimed to carry out a nutritional and physicochemical characterization(...)

ON THE BOUNDEDNESS OF PERIODIC FOURIER INTEGRAL OPERATORS IN LEBESGUE SPACES WITH VARIABLE EXPONENT
BOUKARY TAI, MOHAMED CONGO2, MARIE FRANÇOISE OUEDRAOGO, AROUNA OUEDRAOGO
The aim of this paper is to investigate the boundedness of periodic Fourier integral operators in
Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent Lp(·) on the n-dimensional torus. We deal with operators of type
(ρ; δ) which symbols belong to the Hörmander class Sρ;δ m (Tn × Zn) for 0 ≤ δ < ρ ≤ 1:
