Asymptotic convergence of the extremes of a geometric random variables sequence
Frédéric Béré, Caleb-Rodolphe Bazié and Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara
In this paper, we give some contributions to the analysis of the behavior of the extremes of a category of random variables (r.v.) of geometric type. First, we exhibit a subsequence making certain r.v. of integer part converge. Then we prove the convergence in law of extremes of a sequence of geometric type r.v. Finally, we prove the mean conv(...)

Deep learning models for binary ddos attack detection in enterprise environments
Yacouba OUATTARA Yaya TRAORE Yves SAVADOGO
This paper proposes an experimental methodology
based on the comparison of several deep learning models for the
detection of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in
enterprise network environments. The CIC-DDoS2019 dataset,
recognized for the richness and realism of its attack scenarios,
served as a basis for the preparation, trai(...)

A two dimensional nonlinear space time mathematical analysis of fish and zooplankton dynamics considering the fishing effects in the ecosystem
Wendkouni Ouedraogo, Hamidou Ouedraogo, Ousmane Koutou, Boureima Sangare
We consider a reaction-diffusion model with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions to describe fish and zooplankton dynamics. We also introduce two important elements: fishing and cannibalism effect in the dynamics using a non linear functional responses. In the mathematical analysis, global attractor, persistence conditions and the stability(...)

Effect of provenance and traits of fruit on the seed germination of Senegalia macrostachya in Burkina Faso, West Africa
OUEDRAOGO Hassane, KABRE Blaise, LYKKE Anne Mette, GUINDE Hamadé Tidjani, ADAM Abdul-Aziz, LANKOANDE Benjamin, OUEDRAOGO Amadé
Senegalia macrostachya is a multipurpose native shrub in West Africa that faces challenges in natural regeneration due to pests and overharvesting. This study evaluates seed germination and early seedling growth according to provenance, maturity stage, and the number of seeds in the fruit. Fruits were collected from four sites in two climate z(...)

Introduction:
Child malnutrition remains a major public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa and is reported to be associated with
half of child deaths in Burkina Faso. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) as a major
intervention to improve overall child nutritional status and survival for the first 6 month(...)

Abstract
Background/Objectives: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends
early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) as a beneficial practice for newborns
and their mothers. We conducted a breastfeeding study to estimate
prevalence of EIBF and to evaluate its associated factors in rural Burkina Faso.
Methods: We conducted a secondary a(...)

Effets d’intrants innovants sur les sols et la production de l’aubergine (solanum melongena l.) Au Burkina Faso
Harouna Ouédraogo, Adama Ilboudo, Daouda Guébré, Der Somé, Aminata Ganeme, Koulibi Fidèle Zongo, Aboubacar Coulibaly, Céline Sanou, Edmond Hien
La faible fertilité du sol et les séquences de sécheresse sont des contraintes pour le développement de la production végétale au Burkina Faso. Une étude a été réalisée pour déterminer les effets du polyter et du turbo-bio sur deux types contrastés de sols et la production de l’aubergine. L’essai a été installé selon un dispositif en blocs com(...)

A Hybrid Optimization Framework for Emergency Resource Allocation in Low-Resource Settings: Application to Burkina Faso
Tougma Manegaouindé Roland, Zerbo Boureima, Guel Désiré, Traore Salah Idriss Seif, Napon Salifou
The overuse of hospitals in Burkina Faso, especially during emergencies, is largely due to chronic underfunding and weak coordination among health centers. These challenges create critical bottlenecks in emergency care, where resources are limited and demand is often unpredictable. Motivated by the need for improved management of emergency pat(...)

Impact of African American Slave Narratives on Contemporary Readers’ Empathy
Wôkoudo Marcel MASSIMBO
Slave narratives were one of the main forms of expression used by former African American slaves for denouncing the cruel nature of slavery. A key objective of these narratives was to elicit empathy from 19th-century readers, moving them emotionally and encouraging them to defend the plight of slaves. Despite being written centuries ago, our s(...)

The study investigated how seasonal humidity patterns in 2020 influenced the survival, growth, and yield of different onion (Allium cepa L.) varieties. Relative humidity showed strong seasonal variation, starting at low and unstable levels from January to April (minimum 10 to 40%, maximum 40 to 80%), rising steadily from May to nearly 100%, an(...)
