Dominique Bonkoungou , Sosthène Tassembedo, Toussaint Guingane, Zacharie Koalaga , Eric Korsaga , Arouna Darga, François Zougmore
In this paper, we investigate the power degradation in a novel photovoltaic (PV) cell reconfiguration named KenDoKu (KDK) topology under different shading patterns. We analyze how a modification in the linkage between the PV cells within a shaded PV module can affect its effectiveness. The proposed approach relocates the physical position of the PV(...)

EMERGENCE DES ESPACES DE LOISIRS EN MILIEU URBAIN, DE NOUVELLES SOURCES DE DÉVELOPPEMENT SOCIOÉCONOMIQUE DES COLLECTIVITÉS TERRITORIALES AU BURKINA FASO : LE CAS DE L’EXPLOITATION DES ESPACES VERTS DE LOISIRS À OUAGADOUGOU
Omar Koudougou BAMOGO, Goama NAKOULMA & Ibrahima TRAORE
Le rôle des loisirs et de leurs espaces dans la vie est indéniable. Ils participent à l’atteinte
du bien-être des populations, notamment celles vivant en villes. Tirant l’exemple des pays
développés, ceux d’Afrique au sud du Sahara se sont engagés à faire des loisirs un instrument de
la qualité de vie de leur population. Au Burkina Faso,(...)

Plants possess therapeutic properties thanks to the different secondary metabolites that are stored in them and
constitute a large reservoir. In front of the recurring problems of breast cancer, an investigation on these medicinal plants could allow the development of new biomolecules which would be an alternative against breast cancer. It is(...)

Abstract
Background : Dengue’s emergence in WestAfrica was typified by the Burkina Faso outbreaks in 2016 and2017, the nation’s largest to date. In both years, we undertook three-month surveys of Aedes populations in or near the capital city Ouagadougou, where the outbreaks were centered.

ntroduction: Malaria and dengue are two main vector-borne infectious diseases
transmitted by Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti, respectively, in tropical and
subtropical regions. The concern for environmental safety and the increasing
development of resistance to the chemical in main arthropod vectors raises interest in
the search for bo(...)

he endosymbiont Wolbachia can have major effects on the reproductive fitness, and
vectorial capacity of host insects and may provide new avenues to control mosquitoborne pathogens. Anopheles gambiae s.l is the major vector of malaria in Africa but the
use of Wolbachia in this species has been limited by challenges in establishing stable
