Optimization of a Building's Indoor Temperature and Sensitive Air Conditioning Loads Using the BLT Parpaing Hollow Double Wall
Daouda Sawadogo , Benjamin Kiéma and Ousmane Coulibaly
In hot, dry tropical climates (sahelian), such as Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), high demand for air conditioning in buildings poses a major energy challenge. This study aims to optimize the indoor temperature and sensible air conditioning loads of a typical three-bedroom F3 building with cavity walls, using a double-wall system combining lightwe(...)

Genetic diversity and relationships among sweet grain sorghum genotypes across agroclimatic zones revealed by SNP markers
Wendmanegda Hermann TONDÉ, Salif BERTHÉ, Patrice BALMA, Jacques OUÉDRAOGO, Tégawendé Odette BONKOUNGOU, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO
Sweet grain sorghum is exploited in Burkina Faso through the consumption of fresh grains early at the doughy stage. To identify, valorise and conserve the genetic diversity of this agricultural resource, SNPs markers are essential tools. The aim of the present study is to assess the genetic diversity of sweet grain sorghum expressed in a linea(...)

Impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on the growth and biomass production of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) in Burkina Faso
Sidnoma Marie Emeline Vanessa Sompougdou, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Philippe Bayen, Caroline Bassono
Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) is one of the most leafy vegetables widely consumed in Burkina Faso. However, inappropriate input and unsuitable doses constitute a constraint to the optimal productivity of amaranth. This study aims to evaluate the effect of four organic fertilizers and two mineral fertilizers on the agromorphological perform(...)

Special Feature: Translating Agriculture: Anglophone Scholarship on West Africa in French / Dossier : Traduire l’agriculture : recherches anglophones en français sur l’Afrique de l’Ouest.
William G. Moseley, Gabin Korbeogo, Jessie K. Luna
One of the goals of the Mande Studies journal is to operate as a key crossroads or
intersection for Anglophone and Francophone scholarship on West Africa, two
worlds that sometimes co-exist as ships passing in the night. Building on this
goal, this special feature offers French versions of work originally published in
English that reflect(...)

Food insecurity and malnutrition remain major challenges in Niger, where proteinrich crops are critically needed. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is recognized as a strategic legume due to its high protein content (typically 35–45%) and valuable techno-functional properties reported in the literature. However, local accessions and improved s(...)

Diffusive convective elliptic problem in variable exponent space and measure data
Safimba Soma , Ibrahime Konaté and Adama Kaboré
In this article, we study a class of convective diffusive elliptic problem with Dirichlet
boundary condition and measure data in variable exponent spaces. We begin by introducing an
approximate problem via a truncation approach and Yosida’s regularization. Then, we apply the
technique of maximal monotone operators in Banach spaces to obtain(...)

Economic and Sustainability Assessment of Compressed Earth Bricks in Construction: Evidence from Burkina Faso
Bernard GOUBA
Earth, an abundant and ancient material, has been used in construction for millennia. It allows for the creation of diverse dwellings, ranging from simple houses to monumental buildings. However, despite its numerous advantages, earthen construction, particularly through Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs), is less common than imported materials. T(...)

Sécurité chimique et terrorisme : cas de l’identification des substances chimiques impliquées dans la conception des engins explosifs improvisés au Burkina Faso
Prosper T. KINDA, Noufou SALOU, Adama OUEDRAOGO, Moctar ZEBA, David ZONGO, Kiswendsida TIENDREBEOGO, Samson GUENNE, Abdoulaye DJANDE, Martin KIENDREBEOGO
L’identification des substances chimiques, notamment celles impliquées dans les actes de terrorisme est une étape importante pour un contrôle efficace de l’usage de ces produits sur le territoire national. Basée sur l’analyse des échantillons collectés sur des scènes de crime et des saisies lors des investigations, cette étude avait pour objec(...)

Biotic and abiotic drivers of biomass carbon storage in peri urban forests in Burkina Faso
Larba Hubert Balima, Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Henry Kiemtoré, Lassané Nakoulma, Mohamed Cissé, Issouf Zerbo, Adjima Thiombiano
Urban and peri-urban forests are vital nature-based climate solutions in urban centers undergoing
rapid urbanization and rising temperatures. While their ecological role in carbon sequestration is
documented in West Africa, how environmental factors affect aboveground carbon (AGC) storage in
peri-urban forests remains poorly understood.(...)
