Water flow in soil at small water contents: a simple approach to estimate the relative hydraulic conductivity in sandy soil
M. B. Kebré, F. Cherblanc, F. Ouédraogo, F. Jamin, B. Naon, F. Zougmoré & J.-C. Bénet
Unsaturated soil hydraulic properties are key properties in the fields of soil science and civil engineering. Because of their strong dependence on water content, there are considerable experimental and numerical difficulties in their determination, specifically in the dry range. This situation is encountered regularly in arid and semi-arid re(...)

Classical solutions for discrete potential boundary value problems with generalized Leray-Lions type operator and variable exponent
B.A. Kyelem, S. Ouaro, M. Zoungrana
In this article, we prove the existence of solutions for some discrete nonlinear difference equations subjected to a potential boundary type condition. We use a variational technique that relies on Szulkin’s critical point theory, which ensures the existence of solutions by ground state and mountain pass methods

Visual appearance durability as function of natural and acceleratedageing of electrophoretic styrene-acrylic coatings: Influence of yellowpigment concentration
Tambi Ramdé, Luiz Gustavo Ecco, Stefano Rossi
Organic coatings are extensively used in many fields of engineering such as automotive or architectural industries for protection of the metallic structure against corrosion and to deliver visual aspects to the coated item. High quality paints either for outdoor or indoor applications require longer stability of their visual appearance alongsi(...)

Dental emergencies in Burkina Faso Armed Forces
Raoul Bationo, Wendpouiré Patrice Laurent Guiguimdé, Hamidou Ouédraogo, Blintim Somé
Background. Dental emergencies affect the mission of deployed units. During military operations, the definition of dental emergency is different from that which is commonly accepted in dentistry. There is no notion of seriousness or need for urgent care. A considerable number of studies concerning American, French and other armies exist in the(...)

Activité antiplasmodiale des plantes médicinales d’Afrique de l’Ouest: Revue de la littérature
Kodjovi AGBODEKA, Holaly E. Gbekley, Simplice D. KAROU, Kokou ANANI, Jacques Simpore
Le paludisme reste un problème majeur de santé publique dans la zone intertropicale. En raison du problème de plus en plus croissant de la résistance du Plasmodium aux antipaludiques classiques, il y a urgence de découvertes de nouvelles molécules. Historiquement, la majorité de ces médicaments est synthétisée à partir de plantes médicinales o(...)

Relations sociales, réseau scolaire et stratégies intégratrices des élèves déficients visuels au Burkina Faso
ROUAMBA-OUEDRAOGO Claudine Valérie
Au Burkina Faso, l’organisation et le financement de la scolarisation des élèves déficients visuels relèvent du monde associatif avec une faible implication de l’Etat. L’intégration des élèves déficients visuels se fait difficilement face aux difficultés relationnelles dans les familles d’accueil, le relâchement du suivi de l’association, le m(...)

Objective: Giardiasis, a zoonotic, diarrhoeal disease with worldwide occurrence, is routinely diagnosed by
microscopic examination of stool samples. However, implementation of this method relies on skilled personal, it is
time consuming and relatively low in sensitivity. A superior diagnostic approach to detect the causative agent Giardia
