Mullite effect on the ceramic filters effectiveness in the removal of arsenic from borehole water from Burkina Faso
Kassoum Barry, Gisele Laure Lecomte-Nana, Nassio Sory, Moussa Ouedraogo, Loukou Sawadogo, Moustapha Sawadogo, Issaka Sanou, Mohamed Seynou, Lamine Zerbo, Philippe Blanchart
The intrinsic technological characteristics depend on the forming process and the application for which the
materials are intended. A clay raw material (75 mass%) which is rich in melting oxides and waste peanut shells
(25 mass%) were used to manufacture porous ceramics for the removal of arsenic from borehole water in Burkina
Faso. A bo(...)

Transitionning and the trinity nexus: Scenarios from a small country
Abdoulganiour Almame Tinta
The energy issue in both developed and developing countries remains vital. However, in developing countries, energy pressure is much greater. Despite this, few studies have examined credit, entrepreneurship, and energy transition in developing countries. We addressed this research gap by using the data collected from six regions in Burkina Fas(...)

Dynamics of a SVEIR Epidemic Model with a Delay in Diagnosis in a Changing Environment
Hamadoum Dicko, Ali Traoré, Désiré Ouedraogo
SVEIR epidemic model with a delay in diagnosis is studied in a constant and variable environment. The mathematical analysis shows that the dynamics of the model in the constant environment are completely determined by the magnitude of the delay-induced reproduction number Rα. We established that if Rα<1, the disease-free equilibrium is globall(...)

Numerical Modelling of Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Materials: Application to Cinder Block Bricks
Benjamin Kiema , Ousmane Coulibaly and Xavier Chesneau, Belkacem Zeghmati
In this work, we present numerical modelling of coupled heat and mass transfer within porous materials. Our study focuses on cinder block bricks generally
used in building construction. The material is assumed to be placed in air. Moisture content and temperature have been chosen as the main transfer drivers
and the equations governing these(...)

Effects of Organic Compost and Trichoderma harzianum Spores on Soil Fertility and Agronomic Performance of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)
Koulibi Fidèle, Kounbo Dabiré, Sibiry Albert Kaboré, Moussa Tondé, Daouda Guébré, Abdramane Sanon, and Edmond Hien.
The food supply has grown steadily over the years, while production has been hampered by the increased use of synthetic fertilizers, leading to pollution and degradation of soil physico-chemical properties. It is imperative to advocate for the promotion of sustainable farming techniques that can enhance crop yields while improving soil fertili(...)

Mapping Research on Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) in Africa: Bibliometric, Geographical, and Topical Perspectives
Hamid El Bilali, Zakaria Kiebre, Romaric Kiswendsida Nanema, Iro Dan Guimbo, Veli-Matti Rokka, Maria Gonnella, Sheirita Reine Fanta Tietiambou, Lawali Dambo, Jacques Nanema, Francesca Grazioli and Filippo Acasto
While Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) originates from Africa and the list of producers is topped by African countries, it is not clear whether research is developed enough to support crop promotion in the continent. Thus, this systematic review of 180 articles presents a comprehensive summary of research on Bambara groundnut(...)
