Assessment of Health Risks Associated with the Presence of Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Attiéké Consumed in Burkina Faso
Ibonyé Diéni, Touwendsida Serge Bagré, Boureima Kagambèga, Oumarou Zongo, François Tapsoba, Nicolas Barro
Attiéké, a popular food in Burkina Faso, is often produced under variable hygienic conditions, which favors the proliferation of pathogenic microorgan- isms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a growing threat to the health of consumers. This study assessed the health risks asso- ciated with the presence of MRSA in atti(...)

Green hydrogen is a promising solution within carbon free energy systems with Sub-Saharan Africa being a possibly well-suited candidate for its production. However, green hydrogen production in Sub-Saharan Africa is not yet investigated in detail. This work determines the cost-potential for green hydrogen production within this region. Therefo(...)

MEAN (µ, ν)-PSEUDO ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF CLASS r UNDER THE ANGLE OF MEASURE THEORY TO SOME STOCHASTIC EVOLUTION EQUATIONS
Victorien Fourtoua Konane, Bernard Balma
The paper introduces and studies the concept of mean
(µ, ν)-pseudo almost periodic solution of class r for stochastic processes
using the measure theory. We use (µ, ν)-ergodic process to define the spaces
of (µ, ν)-pseudo almost periodic processes of class r in the mean sense. We
also present many interesting results on this spaces, such a(...)

Résumé. Introduction. La dénutrition est fréquente chez les patients âgés hospitalisés et
associée à un mauvais pronostic. Cependant, les données sur la prévalence et les facteurs
de risque de dénutrition chez les patients âgés hospitalisés en Afrique subsaharienne sont
limitées. Notre étude a évalué la prévalence et les facteurs de risque(...)

Lannea acida is a medicinal plant used in treatments for diabetes and infertility.
This study’s purpose was to evaluate the safety of Lannea acida trunk bark. Phytochemical
screening was performed on the hydroethanolic extract of Lannea acida trunk bark. Acute
innocuity was assessed in female NMRI mice with a limited dose of 2000 mg/kg bw ((...)

A Circular Spatial-diffusion Mathematical Model to Analysis Hopf-Turing Bifurcation in Plankton Population Under the Toxin Control Variation in 2D
Hamidou Ouedraogo , Wendkouni Ouedraogo, Desire Ouedraogo, Boureima Sangare
In a mathematical model of a system with two reaction-diffusion equations with Neumann-Dirichlet boundary
conditions, we formulated zooplankton-phytoplankton in the aquatic environment on the circular domain. The attention has been
focused on the toxin producing role of the space in explaining heterogeneity, the distribution of the species a(...)

Modeling and Simulation of A Hydraulic Storage System Powered By A Photovoltaic Generator
Haïdara Savadogo, Eric Korsaga, Toussaint Tilado Guingane, Dominique Bonkoungou, Zacharie Koalaga
Due to its arid nature and the availability of a large amount of sunlight in the Sahel, water pumping via solar photovoltaic systems can play a very important role in the agricultural and industrial sectors for rural communities in developing countries. However, this type of system could be directly influenced by the variability of sunshine, w(...)

Advanced dependence metrics and tail coefficients in a bounded copula construction
HERMAN TIEMTORÉ , REMI GUILLAUME BAGRÉ, AND VINI YVES BERNADIN LOYARA
In this work, we study some properties of the family of copulas introduced previously by Bagré et al. We discuss from dependence metrics such as Spearman's rho, the medial correlation coefficient and distances separating this family of copulas from the Fréchet bounds (lower and upper bounds) and the product copula, respectively. The tail coeff(...)

Review of Paleoproterozoic tectonics in the southern West African Craton: Insights from multi-disciplinary data integration
Julien Perret, Mark W. Jessell, Quentin Masurel, Patrick C. Hayman, Nicolas Thébaud, Lenka Baratoux, Alain Kouamélan d, Aurélien Eglinger, Anne-Sylvie André-Mayer, Augustin Y. Koffi, Ibrahima Dia, Jacques Koné, James Davis, Ousmane Wane, Prince O. Amponsah, Seta Naba, Oliver Vanderhaeghe
For over a century, research has focused on the southern West African Craton (sWAC), aiming to unravel its lithological, geochemical, geochronological, structural, metamorphic, and metallogenic record. Yet, the late Siderian to early Rhyacian (c. 2350–2265 Ma) geodynamic setting of the sWAC remains poorly constrained due to (i) the unresolved(...)

Although sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is gaining importance in West Africa, it remains uncertain whether the research is adequately advanced to support the promotion
of this crop in the region. Consequently, this systematic review of 125 articles provides a detailed overview of studies focused on sweet potatoes in West Africa. The paper exp(...)

Effect of thermotherapy on meristem culture response of two local cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cultivars from Burkina Faso
Wendpang‑yidé Idrissa Caleb Ouédraogo, Koussao Somé, Rasmata Nana, Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Djakaridja Tiama, Monique Soro, Ousséni Berthé
The use of in vitro culture can enhance the productivity of cassava cultivars infected by viral diseases by ensuring high quality and quantity of cassava planting. Then, due to the difficulty and cost implication of obtaining healthy cuttings from certified sources, most farmers often rely on uncertified cuttings, increasing the risk of viral(...)
