Alidou Maiga, Koffi Sagna, Karim Toussakoe, Vincent Zoma, Lareba Adélaïde Ouedraogo, Sié Kam
The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of orientation on the thermal comfort of bioclimatic buildings in general, and
in particular those built with compressed earth blocks. A first experimental study confirmed that compressed earth blocks have
good thermal inertia, and made it possible to determine the number of annual hours(...)

The mosquitocidal activity of isoxazoline derivatives afoxolaner, lotilaner, and fluralaner are not affected by mosquito sugar or antibiotic treatment.
Harouna Soré, Wamdaogo Moussa Guelbeogo, Soumanaba Zongo, Judith M. Bolscher, Nicolas Ouédraogo, Adama Gansané, Teun Bousema, Katharine A. Collins & Koen J. Dechering
Long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays have played a major role in significantly reducing the burden of malaria. However, the management of mosquitoes resistant to current insecticides continues to be challenging. A promising new strategy is drug-based vector control where drugs are administered to vector hosts (human/animal(...)

Pan‑C2(n+1): A Theoretical Prediction for 2D Carbon Allotropes
Xin-Qi Liu, Ang Ma, Ya-Nan Zhang, Zhi-Jun Yi, Roberts I. Eglitis, Issa Tapsoba, Ran Jia
In this work, the two-dimensional (2D) periodic armchair nanoribbon (pan-C2(n+1)) systems have been proposed and investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT). The pan-C2(n+1) systems can be easily obtained by in-plane rotating the carbon pairs C2 at certain positions in the monolayer graphene (G). The graphene nanoribbon patterns(...)

Local perceptions of ginger ( Zingiber officinale Roscoe) crop management in Burkina Faso
Korotimi Deme, Moumouni Konate, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Lardia Ali Bougma, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc., Zingiberaceae) is a highly profitable crop of great interest to growers and processors. However, there is an insufficiency of knowledge about the production practices implemented in the main production areas. This study described farmers' knowledge of ginger diversity, production constraints, tuber conservati(...)

Antimicrobial activity of paired combinations of the essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon giganteus, and Lippia multiflora on Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in roselle and tamarind-based drinks
Hamed Sawadogo , Judicaël Thomas Ouilly et Imaël Henri Nestor Bassolé
This study was designed to assess the antimicrobial properties of the paired combinations of the
essential oils (EOs) of Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon giganteus, and Lippia multiflora on Listeria
monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli in roselle and tamarind drinks. The
chemical composition of the EOs was characterized(...)

Epidemiological profile of HIV/AIDS at The Outpatient Treatment Centre, Nouakchott, Mauritania, 2010-2019
Mohamedou Hmeied Maham1,2, Pauline Kishwendsida Yanogo2,3, Djibrill Barry2, Yoda Hermann2, Abderrahman Baye6, Boushab Mohamed Boushab2,5, Ousmane Boua Togola2,4, Nicholas Meda2,3.
In response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, many countries have established surveillance systems
to collect data to monitor disease progression and the impact of control measures. In Mauritania,
HIV/AIDS surveillance data are collected and stored at the Outpatient Treatment Centre in the AMNIR
CHIVA database. We analyzed the database to establish(...)

Revisiting the Non-Determinism of Code Generation by the GPT-3.5 Large Language Model
Salimata Sawadogo, Aminata Sabané, Rodrique Kafando, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
Despite recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation, their inherent non-determinism remains a significant obstacle for reliable and reproducible software engineering research. Prior work has highlighted the high degree of variability in LLM-generated code, even when prompted with identical inputs. This non-determini(...)

Physicochemical and Mineralogical Characterizations of Two Natural Laterites from Burkina Faso: Assessing Their Potential Usage as Adsorbent Materials
Corneille Bakouan, Louise Chenoy, Boubié Guel, and Anne-Lise Hantson
In the framework of lateritic material valorization, we demonstrated how the geological environment determines the mineralogical characterizations of two laterite samples,
KN and LA. KN and LA originate from the Birimian and Precambrian environments, respectively. We showed that the geological criterion alone does not determine the applicabil(...)
