Escherichia coli is a major inhabitant of the intestinal tract of most mammalian species, including humans and animals.
This bacterium is classified into four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2, D), with pathogenic strains primarily belong
ing to group B2 and, to a lesser extent, group D. This study investigated the correlation between E.(...)

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), a plant in the Malvaceae family, is of vital importance because its leaves, calyxes and seeds are all consumed. However, this species is still absent from genetic improvement programs in Burkina Faso. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of its genetic(...)

Formalizing PI Planning in Scaled Agile with Model-Driven Engineering: A Metamodel and Framework for Strategic Alignment
Flavien Somda ; Désiré Guel ; Kisito Kabore
Program Increment (PI) Planning is a critical synchronization event in scaled Agile methodologies, yet remains largely informal, with limited analytical rigor or strategic alignment. This paper introduces a formal metamodel and a model-driven framework to support structured PI Planning in large-scale software development. Our metamodel capture(...)

Effective utilization of plant genetic resources requires agro-morphological evaluation of collections across diverse growing regions. The objectives of this study are to assess genetic diversity and estimate genetic parameters through morphological traits of Bambara groundnut. The study was conducted over two growing seasons at the SUSTLIVES(...)

Quorum sensing (QS) is a system of intercellular communication and regulation of the
transcription of resistance, virulence, and pathogenicity genes. The aim of this study was to
identify genetic markers controlling quorum sensing in multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa and E.
coli. A set of fifty (50) strains, composed of P. aeruginosa (30(...)

Phosphorus (P) deficiency limits crop productivity in weathered tropical soils of sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Lixisols where P availability is low. Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms may improve P use efficiency and support sustainable crop production. This study evaluated the phosphate-solubilizing and plant growth-promoting potent(...)

Response of the Benga tigréVariety of Mung Bean(Vigna radiataL. Wilczek) to the Effects of Mineral Nutrition and Plant Density on the Yield and Yield Components in Burkina Faso
Sidibé Hamadou, Batieno Teyiouê Benoît Joseph, Sawadogo Zakaridja , Sakande Boureima, Niampa Moussa and Sawadogo Mahamadou
Mung bean(Vigna radiata), introduced into Burkina Faso in the 1980s, remains underused in rural production systems. This study evaluated the response of the Benga tigrévariety to fertilisation and sowing density to identify a suitable management combination under the conditions of the Saria research station. The expe(...)

RISK MODELING ON THE BRVM
VINI YVES BERNADIN LOYARA, JEAN ZONGO, AND FABRICE OUOBA
Classical risk measurement models assume normality of returns and linear dependence, which systematically underestimates extreme losses in emerging markets. This paper evaluates two complementary approaches to model the risk of a portfolio of BRVM assets (SONATURG and BOA BF) over 2020–2023. The first uses copulas to capture tail dependence be(...)

The enduring burden of short birth intervals on child survival: A 28-year trend analysis in Burkina Faso
Hervé Bassinga
Child survival has improved considerably over the past decades in sub-Saharan Africa, yet preventable risk factors such as closely spaced births continue to threaten progress, especially in fragile contexts. This study examines the association between interbirth intervals and under-five survival in Burkina Faso using data from five rounds of D(...)

Ethnopharmacological approaches in mood and anxiety disorders. The relevance of the oxidative stress status 1
Simplice Harquin Foyet, Ioana-Miruna Balmus, Ngatanko Abaïssou Hervé Hervé, Asongalem Acha Emmanuel, Samson Guenné, Martin Kiendrebéogo, Alin Ciobica
Neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders are one of the most important pathologies that lead to increased morbidity in populations. Both mood and anxiety disorders include mental disorders not caused by detectable organic abnormalities of the brain. At the molecular level, affective spectrum symptomatology is due to neurotransmitte(...)

APPLICATION OF THE GALERKIN-SBA METHOD TO NONLINEAR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH DIRICHLET BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Sawadogo Salomond, Bamogo Hamadou, Bayalla Bazoboué Laurent et Francis Bassono
In this article, we propose a numerical framework referred to as the Galerkin-SBA method, obtained by coupling the Galerkin projection technique with the SBA iterative approach. The method reduces a nonlinear partial differential equation to a finite-dimensional system governing the time-dependent coefficients in a Galerkin expansion of the so(...)

Spatial Distribution and Bioclimatic Factors of Sudano-Sahelian Agroforestry Tree Species: The Case of African Locust Bean (Parkia Biglobosa) and Shea (Vitellaria Paradoxa) in the Province of Boulkiemdé, Burkina Faso
Boureima Yo, Joseph Yaméogo, Pawendkisgou Isidore Yanogo
African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) and shea (Vitellaria paradoxa) are emblematic species of West African agroforestry parklands. They play a major role in food security, rural livelihoods and the structuring of agricultural landscapes. However, their spatial distribution is insufficiently documented at the local level, particularly in a co(...)
