The impact of the fertiliser subsidy program on maize yield in rural Burkina Faso: do agro-ecological zones matter?
Windinkonté Séogo and Windbeneti Arnaud Zahonogo
There is substantial empirical evidence that input subsidy programs have a significant impact on agricultural productivity in Africa. However, the association between agro-ecological conditions and the magnitude of the impact of these public interventions remains unknown. This study takes into account differences in agro-ecological conditions(...)

Applying Fisher’s and Student’s Laws in Probability Density Function Calculation Methods Proceedings
LOYARA Vini Yves Bernadin, OUOBA Fabrice, BAGRE Réni Guillaume
The purpose of this paper is to discover a method for creating joint distributions that establishes a solid foundation for a new distribution model. The technique used to design a joint distribution is through the use of the mathematical expectation of an application with two variables. We obtain new joint probability density functions using(...)

DamFlow: Preventing a Flood of Irrelevant Data Flows in Android Apps
Marco Alecci, Jordan Samhi, Marc Miltenberger, Steven Arzt, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé, Jacques Klein
State-of-the-art tools like FlowDroid have been proposed to detect data leaks in Android apps, but two main challenges persist: ① false alarms and ② undetected data leaks. One contributing factor to these challenges is that a tool such as FlowDroid relies on predefined lists of privacy-sensitive source and sink API methods. Generating such lis(...)

Influence of Temperature and Solar Irradiation on the Performance of Electrochemical Batteries in an Autonomous Photovoltaic System in Burkina Faso
Eric Korsaga, Dominique Bonkoungou, Toussaint Tilado Guingané, Sosthène Tassembédo, Haidara Savadogo, Zacharie Koalaga
Electrochemical batteries are very often used in photovoltaic systems as storage technologies to ensure a permanent supply of electrical energy to the load. However, these batteries are not always adapted to the different climatic conditions in Burkina Faso and to load demand. As a result, battery life is shortened and the overall cost of PV s(...)
