La végétation dans les ruines de Loropéni et leur zone tampon
SIMPORE Lassina
Sur la liste du patrimoine mondial, il existe deux principales catégories de sites. Les sites culturels et les sites naturels. Les ruines de Loropéni font partie de la catégorie culturelle, mais ont cette particularité d’être situées au milieu d’une zone de protection constituée d’une forêt claire et d’une savane arborée couvrant une superfici(...)

Antibacterial Potential and Antioxidant Activity of Polyphenols of Sesbania grandiflora
M.B.Ouattara, K.Konaté, M.Kiendrébéogo, N. Ouattara, M. Compaore, R. Meda, J.Millogo-Rasolodimby and O.G.Nacoulma
The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of Sesbanial grandiflora used in traditional pharmacopeia in Burkina Faso and elsewhere was evaluated. Aqueous, methanolic and hydro-acetone extractions were carried out on the leaves, stems, and granules, pods of fruit and roots of the plant. The phytochimic groups were identified by the tests of cha(...)

Embolie pulmonaire simulant un infarctus aigu du myocarde antéroseptal: le piège diagnostique
N. YAMEOGO
Résumé L'embolie pulmonaire reste la grande simulatrice de la pathologie thoracique aiguë. Les données cliniques et les manifestations électrocardiographiques peuvent dévier le diagnostic vers un infarctus du myocarde. Nous rapportons un cas d'embolie pulmonaire bilatérale chez une patiente de 50 ans. L'électrocardiogramme montrait un sus-déca(...)

Woody species composition, diversity and structure of riparian forests of four watercourses types in Burkina Faso
A. THIOMBIANO
Riparian forests are classified as endangered ecosystems in general, particularly in sahelian countries like Burkina Faso because of human-induced alterations and civil engineering works. The modification of this important habitat is continuing, with little attention being paid to the ecological or human consequences of these changes. The obje(...)

Uniqueness of traces on log-polyhomogeneous pseudodifferential operators
Catherine Ducourtioux, Marie Françoise Ouedraogo
We show how to derive the uniqueness of graded or ordinary traces on some algebras of log-
polyhomogeneous pseudodifferential operators from the uniqueness of their restriction to classical
pseudodifferential ones

Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of essential oil and methanol extract of Matricaria chamomilla L. from Djibouti
125. Fatouma M. Abdoul-Latif, Nabil Mohamed, Prosper Edou, Adwa A. Ali, Samatar O. Djama, Louis-Clément Obame, Imael H. N. Bassolé5 and Mamoudou H. DICKO
The essential oil and methanol extracts of Matricaria Chamomilla L. were subjected to screening for their possible antioxidant activity by two complementary test systems, namely 2,2-diphenykpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and β-carotene-linoleic acid assays. BHT was used as positive control in both test systems. In the DPPH test(...)

In order to evaluate the protective effect of Scoparia dulcis L.(Scrophulariaceae), a medicinal plant known to have medico-magic power, different extracts were prepared by successive extraction with hexane (HE), chloroform (CE) and methanol (ME) and by a soaking in acetone (80%). These extracts were checked for their protective role against ne(...)

Properties and applications of the simplified generalized perpendicular bisector
Aurélie Richard, Gaëlle Largeteau-Skapin, Marc Rodríguez, Eric Andres, Laurent Fuchs & Jean-Serge Dimitri Ouattara
This paper deals with the Simplified Generalized Perpendicular Bisector (SGBP) presented in [15,1]. The SGPB has some interesting properties that we explore. We show in particular that the SGPB can be used for the recognition and exhaustive parameter estimation of noisy discrete circles. A second application we are considering is the error est(...)
