Determination of arsenic (III) at a nanogold modified solid carbon paste electrode
Abdoul Karim Sakira, Touridomon Issa Some, Bieke Dejaegher, Dominique Mertens, Philippe Hubert, Eric M Ziemons and Jean‐Michel Kauffmann
A selective and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for arsenic determination based on a nanogold (AuNP) modified solid carbon paste working electrode (SCPE) modified in two steps (i) physisorption and (ii) additional electrodeposition of nanogold particles in the presence of iodide. Copper (II) interference was solved by covering(...)

Malaria mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH health and demographic surveillance system sites
B. SOURA
Background Malaria continues to be a major cause of infectious disease mortality in tropical regions. However, deaths from malaria are most often not individually documented, and as a result overall understanding of malaria epidemiology is inadequate. INDEPTH Network members maintain population surveillance in Health and Demographic Surveillan(...)

Cause-specific childhood mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH health and demographic surveillance system sites
B. SOURA
Background Childhood mortality, particularly in the first 5 years of life, is a major global concern and the target of Millennium Development Goal 4. Although the majority of childhood deaths occur in Africa and Asia, these are also the regions where such deaths are least likely to be registered. The INDEPTH Network works to alleviate this pro(...)

Pregnancy-related mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH Health and Demographic Surveillance System sites
B. SOURA
Background Women continue to die in unacceptably large numbers around the world as a result of pregnancy, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Part of the problem is a lack of accurate, population-based information characterising the issues and informing solutions. Population surveillance sites, such as those operated within the INDEPT(...)

Cause-specific mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH health and demographic surveillance system sites
B. SOURA
Background Because most deaths in Africa and Asia are not well documented, estimates of mortality are often made using scanty data. The INDEPTH Network works to alleviate this problem by collating detailed individual data from defined Health and Demographic Surveillance sites. By registering all deaths over time and carrying out verbal autopsi(...)

Calculation of transport coefficients of air-water vapor mixtures thermal plasmas used in circuit breakers
1KOHIO Niéssan, 2KAGONÉ Abdoul Karim, 3KOALAGA Zacharie, 4ZOUGMORÉ François , 5NJOMO Donatien.
In this paper we calculate the transport coefficients of plasmas formed by air and water vapor mixtures. The calculation, which assume local thermodynamic equilibrium
(LTE) are performed in the temperature range from 500 to 12000 K. We use the Gibbs free energy minimization method to determine the equilibrium composition of the plasmas, which(...)

Algèbres De Lie Triple Sans Idempotent
M. OUATTARA
Idempotents play an important role in the investigation of nonassociative algebras structure (Albert in Trans Am Math Soc 69: 503–527, 1950; Schafer in An introduction to nonassociative algebras Academic Press, New York, 1966; Zhevlakov et al. in Rings that are nearly associative. Academic Press, New York, 1982). However, the existence of such(...)

The INDEPTH standard population for low-and middle-income countries, 2013
B. SOURA
Crude rates such as the crude death rate are functions of both the age-specific rates and the age composition of a population. However, differences in the age structure between two populations or two time periods can result in specious differences in the corresponding crude rates making direct comparisons between populations or across time ina(...)

Mortality from external causes in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH Health and Demographic Surveillance System Sites
B. SOURA
Background Mortality from external causes, of all kinds, is an important component of overall mortality on a global basis. However, these deaths, like others in Africa and Asia, are often not counted or documented on an individual basis. Overviews of the state of external cause mortality in Africa and Asia are therefore based on uncertain info(...)

HIV/AIDS-related mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH health and demographic surveillance system sites
B. SOURA
Background As the HIV/AIDS pandemic has evolved over recent decades, Africa has been the most affected region, even though a large proportion of HIV/AIDS deaths have not been documented at the individual level. Systematic application of verbal autopsy (VA) methods in defined populations provides an opportunity to assess the mortality burden of(...)

Adult non-communicable disease mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH Health and Demographic Surveillance System sites
B. SOURA
Background Mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a major global issue, as other categories of mortality have diminished and life expectancy has increased. The World Health Organization's Member States have called for a 25% reduction in premature NCD mortality by 2025, which can only be achieved by substantial reductions in risk fa(...)

Anticancer activity of essential oils and their chemical components - a review
Bagora Bayala , Imaël HN Bassole , Riccardo Scifo , Charlemagne Gnoula , Laurent Morel , Jean-Marc A Lobaccaro , Jacques Simpore
Essential oils are widely used in pharmaceutical, sanitary, cosmetic, agriculture and food industries for their bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, antiparasitical and insecticidal properties. Their anticancer activity is well documented. Over a hundred essential oils from more than twenty plant families have been tested on more than twenty t(...)

Variability of vitamins B1, B2 and minerals content in baobab (Adansonia digitata) leaves in East and West Africa
TRAORE HYACINTHE, Parkouda Charles, Korbo Adama, Compaore/Sereme Diarra, Mamoudou H. DICKO
The regional variability and age-age correlation on vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and minerals (Ca, Mg, P, K, Cu, Fe, Mn, Na, and Zn) concentration in baobab leaves were investigated. Baobab was cultivated from seeds from 11 african countries. Vitamins B1 and B2 content were assessed using microbiological VitaFast kits methods and minerals by atomic(...)

Background. Malaria’s prevalence during pregnancy varies widely in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, including Burkina Faso. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of mother-to-child malaria transmission during childbirth at St. Camille Medical Centre in the city of Ouagadougou. Methods. Two hundred and thirty-eight (238) women a(...)
