Vitamin A status assessment is not straightforward. Retinol isotope dilution (RID) testing requires time for the tracer dose to mix with the total body stores of vitamin A (TBS). Researchers are interested in shortening the time interval between tracer administration and follow-up blood draws, and in re-examining current assumptions about live(...)

Hemoglobin S and C affect biomechanical membrane properties of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Benjamin Fröhlich, Julia Jäger, Christine Lansche, Cecilia P. Sanchez, Marek Cyrklaff, Bernd Buchholz, Serge Théophile Soubeiga, Jacques Simporé, Hiroaki Ito, Ulrich S. Schwarz, Michael Lanzer, Motomu Tanaka
During intraerythrocytic development, the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum alters the mechanical deformability of its host cell. The underpinning biological processes involve gain in parasite mass, changes in the membrane protein compositions, reorganization of the cytoskeletons and its coupling to the plasma membrane, and formatio(...)

Growth and characterization of WSe2 single crystals usingTeCl4 as transport agent
Moussa Bougouma, Bernard Nisol, Thomas Doneux, Boubié Guel, Tiriana Segato, François Reniers, Marie-Paule Delplancke-Ogletree, Jean B. Legma, Claudine Buess-Herman,
The growth of WSe2 single crystals, using TeCl4 as transport agent was performed successfully from slowly cooled polycrystalline powders as precursors. The resulting single crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and their surfaces examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) presented fewer defects than single crystals prepar(...)

The black soldier fly, yellow mealworm and house fly are known for their wide distribution, ease of
breeding, and environmental and nutritional attributes. Diets based on these fly proteins for the rearing
of mosquito larvae are more accessible and affordable when compared to the reference IAEA diet which
consists largely of costly livestoc(...)

High prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among sexually active women in Ouagadougou.
C Salambanga, TM Zohoncon, IMA Traoré, RA Ouedraogo, WF Djigma, C Ouédraog, J Simpore
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, which in turn is the leading cause of cancer death in women in Africa. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of high-risk HPV infection (HR-HPV) and the distribution of genotypes encountered in the sexually active female population of Ouagadougou. In four(...)

LE RÉCIT À L’ÉPREUVE DE L’ARCHÉOLOGIE : LES CHAMPS DE BATAILLE ET REFUGES DU XIX E SIÈCLE EN PAYS TUSIAN (BURKINA FASO)
COULIBALY Pon Jean-Baptiste
Le XIXe siècle marque un tournant décisif dans l'histoire des Tusian. Les guerres et les razzia qui caractérisent cette période ont marqué durablement les consciences. Mais l’histoire sociale et politique de cette période reste encore méconnue car non écrite. Les rares écrits ne sont que des transcriptions des traditions orales encore vivaces(...)

La problématique de l’évaluation des compétences scolaires des élèves de l’école primaire au Burkina Faso
Cheick Félix Bobodo OUEDRAOGO et Wendnonga Gilbert KAFANDO
Pour répondre aux besoins changeants d’un monde en perpétuelle mutation, l’éducation
scolaire doit s’adapter pour relever les défis nouveaux qui se présentent à elle. Elle doit donc
avoir une bonne mesure des difficultés actuelles et futures. Ce qui suppose un examen
approfondi et perpétuel des mécanismes d’enseignement qui ne peut être mis(...)

Background and Purpose: The pharmacology of polyphenol metabolites on beta‐ cell function is largely undetermined. We sought to identify polyphenol metabolites that enhance the insulin‐secreting function of beta‐cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms.
Experimental Approach: INS‐1 beta‐cells and rat isolated islets of Langerhans or per(...)

Nonlinear Neumann problems involving p(x)-Laplace operator and measure data
E. Nassouri, S. Ouaro, U. Traoré
In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of entropy solution to the class of nonlinear p(⋅)-Laplace problems of the type div(Φ(∇u−Θ(u)))+|u|p(x)−2u+α(u)∋μ with μ a diffuse measure and a Neumann nonhomogeneous boundary conditions of the form Φ(∇(u)−Θ(u))⋅η+β(u)=g. The functional setting involves Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with varia(...)
