Estimation of Soil Hydrodynamic Parameters Related to Agricultural Practices – Case of Tougou Experimental Site (Burkina Faso).
Dial Niang, Mahamadou Koïta, Amadou Keita, Medogbe Christelle Manuela Houndayi, Cheick Oumar Zoure and Amagana Emmanuel Dara
This study aims to estimate the hydrodynamic properties of soils under various agricultural practices in the Tougou catchment in northern Burkina Faso. The methodology adopted is based on the determination of the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and capillary sorptivity close to saturation. This method relies on the measurement of the transi(...)

ESTIMATING HEAT AND MASS QUANTITIES TRANSFERED BETWEEN FREE SURFACE WATER AND THE ATMOSPHERE USING THE ENERGY BALANCE METHOD.
P. Florent KIENO and Alfred BAYALA.
We hereby present a study on heat and mass transfer between free surface water and the atmosphere in Burkina Faso. We preferentially chose the city of Ouagadougou to conduct this study. One of the major problems in studying evaporation is how to determine water surface temperature and the flow of water evaporated. We calculated this surface te(...)

Production capacity, marketing circuit and consumption of zoom-koom sold in the city of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso
94. SOMA MASSIEKE Adama Abdoul Razaak, Fidèle Wend-bénédo TAPSOBA, Donatien KABORE, Issaka SEOGO2, Abel TANKOANO, Mamoudou H. DICKO, Aboubacar TOGUYENI1 et Hagrétou SAWADOGO-LINGANI
The processing of cereals such as millet and sorghum in zoom-koom does not always combine good
hygiene and manufacturing practices (GHP / GMP). The main objective of the present study is to identify the
constraints and benefits associated with the production, consumption and commercialization of zoom-koom.
The study was conducted in the cit(...)

G-Cloud: Opportunities and Security Challenges for Burkina Faso
Didier Bassole, Frédéric T Ouedraogo, Oumarou Sie
In this paper, we try to clearly outline the opportunities of cloud computing in the context of developing countries, while helping stakeholders grasp the challenges ahead. In particular, we consider the case of the G-Cloud project engaged by the government of Burkina Faso to boost the ICT economy, improve administration-citizen relations, and(...)

Thermodynamic Quasi-Equilibrium Model for the Energetic Performances Analysis of the Air and Air–Steam Gasification of Raw and Pretreated Cotton Stalks by Torrefaction and Carbonization
Harouna Gado Ibrahim, Oumar Sanogo, Tizane Daho, Salifou K. Ouiminga, Jean Koulidiati
Numerical and experimental study of the gasifi- cation of raw and pretreated (torrefied and carbonized) cot- ton stalks were investigated. The experimental results were used to calibrate the quasi-equilibrium model by multiplying the equilibrium reaction constant with coefficient varying from 0.01 to 10 and by fixing the methane molar fraction(...)

« Differentiating African and Western Feminisms through Room Symbolism »
André Kaboré
The current study is a comparative analysis of the room symbolism in some Western and African feminist writings, such as Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, Monique Ilboudo’s ‘Le féminisme au Burkina Faso: mythes et réalités?’, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s We Should all be Feminists. Thus, this paper tries to shed light on these female wri(...)

« Bible Translation and Feminism in Burkina Faso: Some Reflections Drawn from the Dioula and Mooré Biblical Versions »
F.E.G. SANON-OUATTARA et André KABORÉ
This paper considers translation as the reflection of norms, and culture as a mandominated frame in which occur daily interactions. Hence, any culture-based translation process in a man-dominated frame tends to replicate or deepen women‘s inferior image. Taking for granted women's inferiority in Burkinabe patriarchal society, this paper exami(...)

Phenolics from Lippia multiflora Moldenke as potential bioactive agents against peanut pathogens.
K. KOÏTA; Y. BAISSAC, E. SANON, C. CAMPA, P. SANKARA.
The phenolic composition of aqueous extract from dried leaves of Lippia multiflora Moldenke was analyzed
by liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS) before inverse solid phase fractionation. The crude
extract and the different fractions (from FL1 to FL5) obtained after fractionation were then tested in vitro for
their effect on two(...)

Diallel analysis of pod yield and 100 seeds weight in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) using GRIFFING and HAYMAN methods.
Fidèle Bawomon NEYA, SANON Elise, Kadidia KOITA, Bertin M’bi ZAGRE, Philippe SANKARA
Objectives: The lack of information on yield and yield components are an obstacle in peanut (Arachis hypogaea
L.) breeding for productivity improvement in BURKINA FASO. This work is to elucidate the mode of heritability
of genes that govern 100 seed weight and pod yield, and identify the best parents for recommendation in
hybridization prog(...)

Molecular characterization of virus isolates from genus Potyvirus infecting Vigna subterranea in Burkina Faso
Konate M. N.., Ouedraogo M., Neya B. J., Bangratz M., Palanga E., Nandkangre H., Ouoba A., Nanema R., Sawadogo N., Sawadogo M.
Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is an African legume with a great nutritional, economic and social potential. However, one of the main constraints to this crop is viral diseases which reduced yields. Indeed, approximately 12 viruses have been reported to infect bambara groundnut. Among these, only four were reported from Burkina Faso, na(...)

ETHNOBOTANICAL STUDY OF PLANTS USED TO TREAT ASTHMA IN THE MARITIME REGION IN TOGO
Holaly E. Gbekley, Gnatoulma Katawa, Simplice D. Karou, S. Kokou Anani, Tchacondo Tchadjobo, Yaovi Ameyapoh, Komlan Batawila, Jacques Simpore
Background: Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in modern society and it is evident that its incidence and severity are increasing, however very little is known about the plants used in the management of the disease. This study therefore aimed to document the plants usage in the Togolese traditional medicine to treat asthma.

Effet des apports organiques et phosphates sur la nodulation, l’exportation de nutriments et les rendements du niébé associe au sorgho : cas de la région nord du Burkina Faso.
Daouda GUEBRE, Mohamed Traoré, Koulibi Fidèle Zongo et Edmond Hien
Les sols de la zone soudano-sahélienne sont généralement déficients en éléments nutritifs essentiels notamment en azote et en phosphore. Cela se traduit par une baisse progressive des rendements. Pour des raisons généralement alimentaire et économique, des associations céréales-légumineuses sont pratiquées dans la région Nord du Burkina Faso.(...)
