The nitrogen metabolism of growing sub-Saharan cities and their prospect for shifting from regional sinks to sustainable city region food systems.
Tom Wassenaar ; Bachirou S Bodo ; Adama Hilou ;Emma Rochelle-Newall
Urban development trajectories in sub-Saharan Africa are unsustainable. Fast-growing cities constitute nutrient sinks relying on nutrient-poor hinterlands. We propose a pragmatic waste flow assessment providing authorities with a cross-sectoral view of a city’s nutrient sink status. Following a nested approach, we focus on the origin and fate(...)

Influence of climatic factors and floristic diversity on the foraging activity of Apis mellifera adansonii Latreille in a West African Savannah
. Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Sambo Ouédraogo, Joseph Issaka Boussim, Nicolas J.
The foraging activities of pollinators depend on a variety of factors, such as the availability of pollen and nectar resources or the seasonality. We performed measurements on the activity patterns of Apis mellifera adansonii Latreille by focusing on different factors: (i) we counted the number of bees entering the hives during 10 min per hour(...)

Surface Formations Salinity Survey in an Estuarine Area of Northern Morocco, by Crossing Satellite Imagery, Discriminant Analysis, and Machine Learning
Youssouf El Jarjini 1 , Moad Morarech 1 , Vincent Valles 2,3 , Abdessamad Touiouine 4 , Meryem Touzani 5 , Youssef Arjdal 6 , Abdoul Azize Barry 7 and Laurent Barbiero 8,
The salinity of estuarine areas in arid or semi-arid environments can reach high values, conditioning the distribution of vegetation and soil surface characteristics. While many studies focused on the prediction of soil salinity as a function of numerous parameters, few attempted to explain the role of salinity and its distribution within the(...)

Screen House Assessment of Cowpea [(Vigna unguiculata (L.)] Genotypes for Drought Tolerance Using Selection Indices
Sekou Armand Sanogo, Sory Diallo, Teyioue Benoit Joseph Batieno, Adejumobi Idris Ishola, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Daniel Nyadanu
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.)] is one of the most important arid legumes cultivated for pulse and forage production. Drought is one of the most damageable constraints to crop production impacting negatively food security. The potential of cowpea to address food security is well established. However, not much is known about the base index sele(...)

The role and contribution of civil society and community actors in COVID-19 prevention and control: the case of the COMVID COVID-19 movement in Burkina Faso
Orokia Sory, Joël Arthur Kiendrébéogo, Yamba Kafando, Issa Kaboré, Charlemagne Tapsoba, Simon Kaboré, Seyni Mbaye, Cheickna Touré
Communities should play a crucial role in the fight against public health emergencies but ensuring their effective and sustained engagement remains a challenge in many countries. In this article, we describe the process of mobilising community actors to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 in Burkina Faso. During the early days of the pand(...)

Quantification of diversity sampling bias resulting from rice root bacterial isolation on popular and nitrogen-free culture media using 16S amplicon barcoding
Moussa Sondo, Issa Wonni, Agnieszka Klonowska, Kadidia Koïta, Lionel Moulin
Culturing bacteria from plant material is well known to be conducive to strong bias compared to the actual diversity in the original samples. This bias is related to the bacterial cultivability, chemical composition of the media and culture conditions. Recovery bias is often observed but has never been quantified on different media using an am(...)

OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A NONLINEAR ELIPTICAL EVOLUTION PROBLEM WITH MISSING DATA
Toma Tindano, Mifiamba Soma, Tao Sadou et Somdouda Sawadogo
We consider the optimal control of a nonlinear elliptic problem with
missing data (so-called ill-posed problems). Using the notion of
no-regret and low-regret control, we give a characterization of the
control for ill-posed problems. More precisely, we study the control
of Cauchy evolution problems via a regularization approach which
gene(...)
