Impact of Aerosol on Transport Coefficients of Air Thermal Plasmas in Circuit Breakers
Wêpari Charles Yaguibou(1), Niessan Kohio(1), Abdoul Karim Kagone(1) and Zacharie Koalaga(1)
In West Africa, aerosols come from the desert and biomass fires. They are mainly composed of oxides of silicon, calcium, iron, aluminium and carbon. The air circuit breakers may have abnormal behaviour and failures of cuts when they operate in an environment polluted by aerosols. This study focuses on the influence of aerosols on the transport(...)

Evaluation comparative de la production de grains et du fourrage de sorgho à grains sucrés du Burkina Faso
TIENDREBEOGO J., SAWADOGO N., KIEBRE M., KABORE B., BATIONO/KANDO P., KIENDREBEOGO T., OUEDRAOGO M. H., SAWADOGO M.
Le sorgho à grains sucrés est une culture peu connue et peu valorisée au Burkina Faso. Cependant, il présente des potentialités pour l’alimentation humaine et animale. L’objectif de cette étude est d’identifier des accessions à haut rendement en grains et en fourrage pour un double usage. Ainsi, 66 accessions ont été caractérisées suivant un d(...)

Impact of pest management practices on the frequency of insecticide resistance alleles in Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) populations in three countries of …
Abstract In West Africa, the use of organophospates and pyrethroid insecticides to control cotton pests has led to the evolution of resistance in field populations of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius. Three pest management programs have been commonly recommended: the Conventional Program (CP) where 6 treatments are applied, the use of Bt cotton plants(...)

Multiplicity of solutions to discrete inclusions with the p(k)-Laplace type equations
S. Ouaro, M. Zoungrana
This paper is concerned with the existence and multiplicity of solutions to discrete inclusions with the p(k)-Laplace type equations.
They begin by giving some basic definitions and preliminary results where they define the generalized gradient of a function, coercive and anti-coercive function. Then they introduce three critical points theor(...)

ESQUISSE D'UNE LECTURE PLURIELLE DU CARNAVAL DE LA MORT DE FIDELE P. ROUAMBA
TIAHO Lamoussa
L’Afrique est avant tout un continent de l’oralité. Elle n’a pas une tradition du genre romanesque au sens occidental du terme. C’est d’ailleurs ce qui explique la notion « paradoxes du roman africain » qui, en retour se sont constitués en traits d’originalité et d’esthétique du roman africain. Il faut préciser qu’un critique de renommée comme(...)

Modeling of the Alteration Wedge in a Crystalline Basement Environment: Case Study of Burkina Faso Central Regions
Kafando Sayoba, Nakolendoussé Samuel, Nikiéma Julien
The alteration wedge is unevenly distributed in the central region of Burkina Faso. Outcrops of crystalline rocks can be seen everywhere on the sheet. Water drilling data made it possible to highlight this inequality. The frequency of the encountered alteration depths associated with the water productivity of the underlying aquifers made it po(...)
