Characterization and Evaluation of the Agronomic Suitability of Three Soil Types for Sorghum Production in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Adama Ilboudo, Daouda Guébré, Harouna Ouédraogo, Aminata Ganeme, Koulibi Fidèle Zongo and Edmond Hien
Declining agricultural fertility represent a major challenge to food security in the Sudano-Sahelian areas. In this context, it is essential to cultivate resilient cereals, such as sorghum, whose productivity depends heavily on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. This study aims to assess soil chemical fertility in o(...)

Evaluation of the Specific Growth Rate to Predict the Biogas Production Process in a Mini-Biodigester
Noufou Bagaya, Windé Nongué Daniel Koumbem, Younoussa Moussa Baldé, Sette Diop, Bruno Korgo, Sié Kam
The paper proposes an online estimation of biogas production for a household
digester. The specific growth rate of aggregated biomass of a standard chemostat is estimated
from the online measurements of dilution rate and biogas flow rate. That estimation is based
upon usual 1-stage model without additional assumption on the online availa(...)

Quantum chemical studies on inhibiting copper corrosion in nitric acid using some coumarin derivatives
M. Cissé, Y. Bakouan, V. Kouakou, M.A. Tigori and P.M. Niamien
Efforts have been made to limit copper corrosion. Among the many strategies available to protect copper against corrosion, the use of inhibitors is one of the most practical and effective methods. In recent years, quantum chemical calculations have been used to search for new inhibitors. The aim of this work is to study the inhibiting properti(...)

RESISTANCE OR CAPITULATION? THE DYSTOPIAN MODE IN LOUISE O’NEILL’S REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN
Djili SOURA et André KABORE
Depuis ses débuts en 2014, l’œuvre de Louise O’Neill a suscité une
réception critique controversée. Si certains critiques soulignent une
exploration poignante de l’oppression des femmes dans la société
occidentale contemporaine, d’autres déplorent une vision pessimiste du
patriarcat en Irlande et une incapacité à subvertir les conceptions(...)

Determining the potential field within a square transformer
Ouigou M. Zongo, Sié Kam, Tassembedo Sosthène, Kounhinir Some, Kalifa Palm, Alioune Ouedraogo
This paper deals with determining a field of stationary potential in a transformer with square plane section, with a side measuring 4 and divided at the center by a square which side measures 2. The problem consists in solving a Laplace equation with conditions on Dirichlet’s boundaries that we solve using the method of large singular finite e(...)
