Comparative Effects of Organo-Mineral, Organic and Mineral Fertilizations on the Agronomic Performance of the Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Koulibi Fidèle ZONGO, Daouda GUEBRE, Sibiry Albert KABORE, Wendne Toumdé Victor ZONGO, Mahamadi KYELEM, Abdramane SANON, Asséta KOMONDI, Edmond HIEN
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) is a vegetable grown for its leaves, apples or flower. Its production ranks third after onions and tomatoes in Burkina Faso. However, the fertilizers used in its production limit its yield performance. With this in mind, the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of different fertilization regimes on(...)

Introduction. In developing countries, there is lack of knowledge about pediatric
anesthesia while pediatric hospitals are scarce and do not fill all the needs. Therefore,
anesthetic care for children is provided by doctors and nurses in general hospitals. The aim
of this study was to assess their knowledge and practice regarding anesthetic(...)

Comparative study of the electronic properties of hexagonal and orthorhombic structures of RMnO3-type perovskites (R=Tb, Dy, Ho and Er) by DFT calculations
Joël Martial Balkoulga, Antoine Béré, Sidiki Zongo, Viwanou Hounkpati, Moussa Sougoti, Sié Zacharie Kam
The electronic properties of perovskite RMnO3 (R=Tb, Dy, Ho and Er) were studied using the density- functional theory (DFT). For each perovskite RMnO3, the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) structural parameters in the spin-up and spin-down configurations are optimized. The band structures, the density of states (DOS) and the part(...)
