This study analyzed the four main polymorphisms of the genes in homocysteine metabolism in malaria patients. Forty-two randomly selected subjects, diagnosed positive for Plasmodium falciparum, were included. The four genotypes were detected by real-time PCR using the MTHFR 677C>T, MTHFR 1298A>C, MTR 2756A>G, and MTRR 66A>G detection kit (Sacac(...)

Allometric models to estimate foliage biomass of Tamarindus indica in Burkina Faso
Loyapin Bondé, Moussa Ganamé, Oumarou Ouédraogo, Blandine MI Nacoulma, Adjima Thiombiano, Joseph I Boussim
Tamarindus indica L. is a multi-purpose tropical species. In West Africa the local people use its leaves daily as a source of food, medicine and income. To prevent the over-exploitation of this species for its use for non-timber forest products, the estimation of foliage production needs to be adressed. This study aimed to (1) assess the effec(...)

Susceptibility of MED-Q1 and MED-Q3 biotypes of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) populations to essential and seed Oils
Drabo Samuel Fogné, Gnankine Olivier, Bassolé Imaël Henry Nestor, Nébié Roch Charles, Mouton Laurence
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a major pest of many agricultural and ornamental crops
in tropical and subtropical regions causing damages that result in important economic losses. Insecticides are
commonly used in greenhouses or fields to control B. tabaci populations leading to rapid evolution of resistance
that ren(...)

Chemical composition, physicochemical characteristics and nutritional value of Lannea kerstingii seed and seed oil
Judicaël Thomas Ouilly, Patrice Bazongo, Adjima Bougma, Nèbpawindé Kaboré, Anne Mette Lykke, Amadé Ouédraogo and Imaël Henri Nestor Bassolé
The chemical composition, main physicochemical properties, and nutritional value of seed flour and seed oil of Lannea kerstingii were studied. The results indicated that seeds contained 3.61% moisture, 57.85% fat, 26.39% protein, 10.07% carbohydrates, and 2.08% ash. Potassium was the predominant mineral, followed by magnesium and calcium. The(...)

EFFECT OF JUNCTION QUALITY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A SILICON SOLAR CELL
I. Zerbo, M. Zoungrana, A. Ouedraogo and D. J. Bathiebo
In this work, a modeling study of the effect of the junction quality on the performance of a silicon solar cell is presented. Based on a one dimensional modeling of the solar cell, the continuity equation of excess minority carriers is solved with boundary conditions taking into account the intrinsic junction recombination velocity and led to(...)

EVALUATION OF MICROBIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL QUALITY OF BORASSUS AKEASSII FRESH SAP AND FERMENTED SAP (BANDJI) PRODUCED AT BURKINA FASO
Zongo Oumarou, Tapsoba François, Guira Flibert, Zongo Cheikna, Traore Yves and Savadogo Aly
Palm wines are produced, consumed and appreciated by population of West Africa. Our previous study deal with impact of technological diagram on biochemical and microbiological quality of Borassus akeassii wine produced traditionally in Burkina Faso. This study aims to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical quality of the fresh and fe(...)

Identification and validation of SSR markers linked to Striga gesneroides (willd.) vatke gene race 2 in cowpea |Vigna unguiculata (l.) Walp] in Mali
Diallo S., Sawadogo N., Ouedraogo M. H., Coulibaly B.S., Batieno Joseph B.T.J., Sawadogo M.
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) Is one of the most important grain legumes grown in Mali. But its production is strongly limited by the SG2 strain of Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke which constitutes one of the major biotic constraints. The F2 populations resulting from the crossing between the variety IT97K-499-35 (Resistant parent)(...)

West Africa is a floristically understudied region that is facing severe environmental changes in the 21st century. Basic distribution data and information on the conservation status for most plant species of the region are scarce, and good information only exists for small areas of interest or for key species. This lack of knowledge seriously(...)

Isolation and characterization of enteropathogenic and enterotoxinogenic Escherichia coli from dairy products consumed in Burkina Faso
Touwendsida Serge Bagré, Bissoume Sambe-Ba, Hadiza Bawa Ibrahim, Gertrude Bsadjo Tchamba, René Dembélé, Abdoul Aziz Wane, Evariste Bako, Alfred S. Traoré, Nicolas Barro and Amy Gassama-Sow
Food-borne diseases represent a public major health problem, and drink-water, juice, meat, and milk products are usually involved. This study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of diarrheagenic E. coli isolated from dairy products consumed in Burkina Faso. Five hundred and twenty-two samples were gathered. Escherichia coli were isolat(...)

Equations des algèbres Lie triple qui sont des algèbres train.
Joseph Bayara, Amidou Konkobo, Moussa Ouattara
In this paper, we consider equations of Lie triple algebras that are train algebras. We obtain two different types of equations depending on assuming the existence of an idempotent or a pseudo-idempotent.
In general Lie triple algebras are not power-associative. However we show that their train equation with an idempotent is similar to trai(...)

Mutations in GPSM2 cause Chudley-McCullough syndrome (CMCS), an autosomal recessive neurological disorder characterized by early-onset sensorineural deafness and brain anomalies. Here, we show that mutation of the mouse orthologue of GPSM2 affects actin-rich stereocilia elongation in auditory and vestibular hair cells, causing deafness and bal(...)

Sur la maîtrise de la violence
Koné Cyrille
Ce livre propose d'analyser des textes classiques, en fonction d'une question brûlante : la violence, qui sans être nouvelle, menace aujourd'hui dangereusement l'humanité. Ce phénomène est devenu plus complexe avec les progrès dans la découverte et le raffinement des technologies de la cruauté. Dans ces conditions, comment expliquer que la vie(...)
