Impact of Aerosol on Transport Coefficients of Air Thermal Plasmas in Circuit Breakers
Wêpari Charles Yaguibou(1), Niessan Kohio(1), Abdoul Karim Kagone(1) and Zacharie Koalaga(1)
In West Africa, aerosols come from the desert and biomass fires. They are mainly composed of oxides of silicon, calcium, iron, aluminium and carbon. The air circuit breakers may have abnormal behaviour and failures of cuts when they operate in an environment polluted by aerosols. This study focuses on the influence of aerosols on the transport(...)

Impact of pest management practices on the frequency of insecticide resistance alleles in Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) populations in three countries of …
Abstract In West Africa, the use of organophospates and pyrethroid insecticides to control cotton pests has led to the evolution of resistance in field populations of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius. Three pest management programs have been commonly recommended: the Conventional Program (CP) where 6 treatments are applied, the use of Bt cotton plants(...)
