Computational Model of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Green Insulating Fibrous Media. Materials
Sankara, H.; Baillis, D.; Coulibaly, O.; Coquard, R.; Naouar, N.; Saghrouni, Z
Modelling effective thermal properties is crucial for optimizing the thermal performance of
materials such as new green insulating fibrous media. In this study, a numerical model is proposed
to calculate the effective thermal conductivity of these materials. The fibers are considered to be
non-overlapping and randomly oriented in space. The(...)

Wendlassida Joelle Stéphanie Tiendrebeogo/Zabsonre1* , Denlewende Sylvain Zabsonre , Fulgence Kabore , Abdoulaye Sanou, Yakouba Haro, Inoussa Zoungrana, Dieu-Donné Ouedraogo
Background Common severe back pain due to disc herniation is rare in the paediatric population which involves
children under eighteen years of age. Paediatric lumbar disc herniation (LDH) cannot be considered the same disease
as in adults, as it has potentially different natural and clinical backgrounds. The treatment of pediatric LDH is the(...)

Fruits of Prosopis chilensis and Tetrapleura tetraptera as an alternative against multi-resistant bacteria in lower respiratory tract infections
Jotham Yhi-pênê N’do, Dramane Paré, Issa Karama, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrébéogo
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium whose global spread poses a significant threat to human health due to its multidrug resistance (MDR). As a result, it is crucial to explore alternative treatments, particularly plant-based drugs, that are considered safe. The fruits of two plants, Tetrapleura tetraptera, and Prosopis chilensis, have been t(...)

NEUMANN PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONSINVOLVING VARIABLE EXPONENT AND MEASURE DATA
Mohamed Badr Benboubker, Stanislas Ouaro, Urbain Traore
This paper deals with the question of the existence of entropy solutions for the problem− div(a(x, u, ∇u) + φ(u)) + g(x, u, ∇u) = µ posed in an open bounded subset Ω of R^N with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition (a(x, u, ∇u) + φ(u)) · η = 0. The functional setting involves Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponent
