Physicochemical and Mineralogical Characterizations of Two Natural Laterites from Burkina Faso: Assessing Their Potential Usage as Adsorbent Materials
Corneille Bakouan, Louise Chenoy, Boubié Guel, and Anne-Lise Hantson
In the framework of lateritic material valorization, we demonstrated how the geological environment determines the mineralogical characterizations of two laterite samples,
KN and LA. KN and LA originate from the Birimian and Precambrian environments, respectively. We showed that the geological criterion alone does not determine the applicabil(...)

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF SOLUTION FOR THE ADVECTION-DIFFUSION EQUATION WITH A FRACTIONAL LAPLACIAN OPERATOR
MARTIN NITIEMA, THOMAS TINDANO, DAOUDA PARE
We consider an advection-diffusion problem involving a fractional Laplace operator of order
0 < s < 1. First, we give the preliminaries that will be used in the following to prove the existence of the
solution to the problem under consideration using Lions’ theorem. Finally, we show that this solution is
unique.

How Many Goats Does a Mannequin Cost? Community-engaged Design of Layperson First Responder Training Materials in Low-resource Settings
Hannah B Wild, Moumini Niaone, Aparna Cheran, Madeline Ross, Barclay T Stewart, Nicolas Meda
Objectives
Simulation materials for layperson first responder (LFR) trainings used in high-resource settings are prohibitively expensive for use in low- and low-middle income countries. To date, no structured approach to community-engaged design in identifying accessible and acceptable simulation materials for LFR trainings has been developed(...)

Analysis of gold mineralization in the Gnimi-Yabogane B zone, in the com-
mune of Dano in southwest Burkina Faso, within the Boromo greenstone belt,
reveals local geology comprising volcano-sedimentary rocks, meta-andesite,
amphibolitic gabbros, and granodiorites. The study highlighted three phases
of deformation (D1, D2, D3), with mine(...)

Rational stabilization of the multidimensional wave equation with dynamical control and time-varying delay
Désiré SABA, Innocent OUEDRAOGO, Gilbert BAYILI
We consider the multidimensional wave equation with a time-varying delay term in the dynamical control. Under suitable assumptions, we show the well posedness of the problem. These results are obtained by using semi-group theory. Using direct computations, through the multiplier method, the rational energy decay rate of the system will be give(...)

Introduction: In Sub-Saharan Africa, the true extent of the COVID-19 pandemic is not known due to the low number of tests performed and the large proportion of asymptomatic cases in the populations. This was a seroprevalence study of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in blood donors to assess the extent of virus circulation in Burkina Faso.
