Optimal Sizing of Output Energy of PV Power Plants under Extreme Climate Conditions: Case of Sudanian Sahel
Boubacar SORO, Amadou DIALLO, Serge Dimitri Y. B. BAZYOMO, Adama OUEDRAOGO, Seyni SALACK; Dieudonné Joseph BATHIEBO, Sié KAM
The present work analyzes the energy production of three 50kWp photovoltaic (PV) power plants which are placed in three climate zones. The Sudano-Sahelian and Sudanian climates have lower average temperatures than the Sahelian environment. The Sudanian climate, next the Sudano-Sahelian zone, and finally the Sahelian region, have the best perfo(...)

Contraceptive trajectories and women's years of employment activity in low-income countries: combining fictive cohorts, contraceptive calendar data and sequence analysis
Zan L. M, Rossier C, Studer M., Dao O., Guiella G.
Historically, family planning (FP) programs in low-income countries (LICs) have been valued for their benefits to child and maternal health. Today, there is a focus on integrating contraceptive access into women’s rights. However, measuring the impact of FP on women’s economic empowerment remains challenging due to a lack of comprehensive long(...)

Recent dengue outbreaks have occurred in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, the two major cities of Burkina Faso. Dengue is a viral disease transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti, a highly anthropophilic mosquito that thrives in human-transformed environments and breeds predominantly in artificial containers. In 2018, we investigated the resting(...)

Advances in antimicrobial control: contributions and potential applications of antagonistic bacteria in the control of multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria
Cheik Omar Tidiane COMPAORÉ, Catalina Mihaela VOAIDES, Iliassou MOGMENGA, Amidou S. OUILI, Franck MOSSOUN, Ynoussa MAIGA, Aboubakar Sidiki OUATTARA
Antagonistic bacteria play a crucial role in the fight against multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. They offer an ecological and sustainable alternative to traditional antibiotics, reducing selective pressure and preserving natural microbial ecosystems. In agriculture and livestock farming, their purpose is to inhibit the growth of pathogens(...)

Choix d’une zone favorable à la culture du coton au Burkina Faso à l’aide de l’extension de la méthode EVAMIX.
Hadarou YIOGO, Zoïnabo SAVADOGO
Au Burkina Faso, il semble que le coton constitue une bonne partie des recettes d'exportations. Sa culture est pratiquée par bon nombre de personnes et constitue un véritable moyen de lutte contre la pauvreté et d'amélioration des conditions de vie des paysans. Malheureusement la production n'est pas à la hauteur des attentes de la population(...)

Les cercosporioses sont les maladies foliaires de l’arachide entraînant le plus de pertes de récolte au Burkina Faso. Pour une production durable de l’arachide, des méthodes de gestion écologique de ces maladies sont nécessaires afin de limiter l'utilisation des fongicides de synthèse. Ainsi, l’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer l’effet de(...)
