Revêtement transparent de polysilazane pour une meilleure du cuivre contre la corrosion
Ramdé Tambi, Stefano Rossi, Michele Fedel
Dans ce travail, nous avons étudié la protection du cuivre contre la corrosion par l’utilisation d’un revêtement hybride organique/inorganique transparent, obtenu à partir du précurseur Durazane 1500 RC. L’intérêt de l’utilisation de ce type de revêtement est d’offrir une bonne résistance à la corrosion au matériau tout en préservant les quali(...)

Introduction: In Burkina Faso, sesame is one of the most widely grown oil and
rend crops. Several varieties are grown in different regions, but little is known
about their nutritional characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the impact of the production area on the nutritional characteristics of two sesame
varieties gro(...)

Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are crucial for preventing malaria and other vector-
borne diseases, effectively reducing transmission and mortality rates. However, their
uptake remains low, influenced by textile preferences, with polyester nets being
favored for comfort, despite their shorter lifespan compared to other materials. A

FINITE TIME RUIN PROBABILITY USING HAWKES VARIABLE MEMORY COUNTING PROCESS WITH EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION CLAIMS
Frédéric Béré, Souleymane Badini, Abdoul Karim Drabo, Delwendé Abdoul-Kabir Kafando
The finite time ruin probability in actuarial science and in companies throughout their operating lives remains a major and very complex concern for the latter. Given the complexity of the occurrence of natural risk phenomena, the mathematical determination of this probability can prove particularly complex. This mathematical complexity repres(...)

The centre of origin of Bambara groundnut (BGN; Vigna subterranea L.) is Western Sub-Saharan Africa. Due to its high nutritional value and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses,
this neglected and underutilised species has recently gained significant attention. However, BGN production faces several challenges, including a lack of quality v(...)

Thyroid hematoma after blunt neck trauma
Nogognan Ignace Lengane, Milkisedek Some, Charles Ilboudo, Solo Traoré, Bertin Priva Ouedraogo
Thyroid gland hematoma following blunt neck trauma is a rare but potentially life-threatening
condition due to the risk of airway compromise. While it most commonly occurs in goitrous
glands, unusual mechanisms of trauma can still make such cases exceptional. We present a case of
thyroid haematoma following scarf-related neck strangulation(...)

Modelling the effects of adult emergence on the surveillance and age distribution of medically important mosquitoes
Isaac J. Stopard, Ellie Sherrard-Smith, Hilary Ranson, Kobié Hyacinthe Toe, Jackie Cook, Joseph Biggs, Ben Lambert, Thomas S. Churcher
Entomological surveillance is an important component of mosquito-borne disease control.
Mosquito abundance, infection prevalence and the entomological inoculation rate
are the most widely reported entomological metrics, although these data are notoriously
noisy and difficult to interpret. For many infections, only older mosquitoes are infec(...)
