The STICS intercrop model accurately reproduces interspecific interactions and yield in semi-arid West African cereal-legume intercropping systems
Mathilde De Freitas, Antoine Couedel, Gatien N. Falconnier, Mathias Christina, Alpha B. Balde, François Affholder, Amadou Traoré, Aminata Ganeme, Myriam Adam, Yolande Senghor, Sidy Sow, Eric Justes
Context: Cereal-legume intercropping offers potential for the sustainable intensification of annual cropping
systems. Crop models can support the evaluation of agronomic and environmental benefits of intercropping.
However, to be effective, they must capture interspecific interactions during the growing season, a challenging
task in tropica(...)

Phytochemical Profile and anti-MRSA Potential of West African Flora: A Systematic Review of Efficacy, Toxicity and Molecular Mechanisms (2000-2025)
Souleymane Koné, Abasse Ganamé Ouédraogo, Henri Sidabéwindin Ouédraogo, Arouna Ouédraogo, Djibrine Adoum Oumar and Aly Savadogo
Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is increasing and poses a serious threat to healthcare. This threat is particularly relevant to West African countries, where the circulation of multi-resistant pathogens and limited access to advanced antibiotics only serve to reinforce this threat. This systematic review presents the phytochemi(...)

Expérience du Burkina Faso dans la prise en charge des patients infectés chroniques par le VHB
Prof. Sombié Roger, Prof. Ag GUINGANE Nanelin Alice
Les recommandations de l’OMS de 2024 préconisent de traiter par du Ténofovir (TDF) plus de personnes infectées par le VHB en Afrique sub-saharienne parce que la majorite des cas de cirrhose et de cancer du foie proviennent de cette partie du monde. Cependant ces recommandations sont peu utilisées et mériteraient d'être contextualisées en se ba(...)

Local perceptions of degraded soils (" Zippela") and factors influencing the adoption of agroecological practices for land restoration in Burkina Faso
Balma, N. E., Bayen, P., Balima, L. H., Lykke, A. M., & Thiombiano, A
Introduction:
Land degradation is a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, driven by unsustainable farming practices, population pressure, and climate variability. In Burkina Faso, zippelé refers to bare, crusted, and compacted soils with low organic matter and extremely low productivity. This study examined local perceptions of zippelé in(...)

A Comparative Study of CDL/TDL Channel Models in 5G-mmWave Networks
Mahamadi Sogoba, Désiré Guel, Boureima Zerbo
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands play a key role in 5G New Radio (5G-NR). They provide wider bandwidth and support much higher data rates. However, these bands also bring serious challenges. Signal propagation is more complex and affects system performance. This study fills an important gap. It compares two standard 3GPP channel models: Clustere(...)
