Isolation and assessment of cyanide biodegradation potential of indigenous bacteria from contaminated soil.
MAIGA Ynoussa, YOUNG Suzanne, ORNER Kevin D., MIHELCIC James R., HARWOOD Valerie J., OUATTARA Aboubakar Sidiki
Eight effective bacterial strains were isolated from cyanide-contaminated soil, from which, two (S11 and S13) were tested to determine their mini mum inhibitory concentration using potassium cyanide (KCN) and potas sium tetracyano nickelate (K2Ni(CN)4). The isolates were tested for their KCN biodegradation potential (by measuring ammonia produ(...)

Bio-production of lactic and lactobionic acids using whey from the production of cow’s milk Wagashi cheese in Benin
Oumarou Djobo, Haziz Sina, Souriatou Tagba, Virgile Ahyi, Aly Savadogo, Adolphe Adjanohoun, Manuel Rendueles and Lamine Baba-Moussa
Traditional cheese is the main milk derivative in Bénin. This traditional process is not efficient and generate a lot of whey which has no real use until now. It is just disposed without being environmentally treated. Its use as a source for lactobionic and lactic acids production by Pseudomonas taetrolens and Lactobacillus casei is studied in(...)

Pan-Africanisme et Lutte Anti-Coloniale entre les Deux Guerres: Le Cas du Mouvement de Marcus Garvey en Afrique Occidentale Française
Malgoubri Harrouna
À la fin de la Première Guerre Mondiale, la dynamique d’expansion de l’Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) de Marcus Garvey en Afrique Noire s’est manifestée par des tentatives de création de cellules du mouvement en Afrique Occidentale Française (AOF). Grace a des agents originaires de la Sierra Leone, l’UNIA entendait ainsi insuff(...)

Trends and drivers of land use/cover change in W National park in Burkina Faso
Kangbéni Dimobe, Ursula Gessner, Korotimi Ouédraogo, Adjima Thiombiano
Burkina Faso's W National Park (WNPB) is one of the country's biodiversity hotspots. Despite this Park's protection, illegal human activities threaten its vegetation, and little information about the on-site causes of degradation is available. Here we explored the extent and drivers of changes in land use/land cover (LULC) in the WNPB. For thi(...)

Numerical Simulation of Hygrothermomechanical Deformations of Bituminous Pavements in the City of Ouagadougou Subjected to Tropical Dry Showers
Sidpouita Mathilde Koudougou , Konfe Amadou , David Y. K. Toguyeni , Anne Pantet and Tariq Ouahbi
The waters of the torrential rains in the city of Ouagadougou lead to the appearance or amplification of damage to the surface of asphalt pavements during the rainy season. Road infrastructure maintenance campaigns follow one another almost every rainy season to fill potholes and cracks observed on the pavements. Several hypotheses can be put(...)

Abstract:
Introduction: Achieving and maintaining optimal glycemic targets can be difficult because of several factors that make uncontrolled diabetes a public health problem. The objective of this study was to propose a predictive score for prolonged poor glycemic control in the type 2 diabetes cohort. Methodology: This was a secondary data(...)

Analysis and Comparison of Doping Level Effects on a Crystalline Silicon PV Cell under Both Moderate Light Concentration and Normal Illumination Modes
Mahamadi Savadogo, Adama Ouedraogo, Boubacar Soro, Zi Daouda Koudougou, Martial Zoungrana, Issa Zerbo
The main purpose of this work is to study doping level effects on a silicon PV cell under both moderate light concentration and normal illumination. This study also aims to compare the doping level effects under the both illumination modes. The results show for both illumination modes that diffusion parameters decrease with increasing doping l(...)

Numerical Modelling of a Parabolic Trough Concentrator for the Design of a Thermodynamic Solar Power Plant
Bouwèreou Bignan-Kagomna1, *, Issaka Ouedraogo2, Daniel Windé Nongué Koumbem1, Gado Tchabode3
The Sahel region of Burkina, whose capital is Dori, is one of the regions of the country whose electricity coverage rate is very low, which happens to be a paradox because it has enormous solar deposits which are sources of energies. This is the essence of our study of a 50MW cylindrical-parabolic concentrator solar power plant in Dori. It sho(...)

The Use of Plants for Drinking Water Disinfection: Traditional Knowledge, Scientific Validation, Current Challenges and Prospects for the Future
NITIEMA YEFANOVA Svitlana L., OUEDRAOGO Jean Claude W., OUEDRAOGO Benjamin, BONZI-COULIBALY Yvonne L.
Nowadays, water treatment is a big issue in rural areas especially in African countries. Due to lack of water purification facilities or the high cost of modern water treatment technologies, attempts have been made to find alternative natural methods to treat drinking water. Through an investigation of knowledge about traditional practices bas(...)

Background
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic arbovirosis. Humans are infected by tick bites or contact with blood of infected animals. CCHF can be responsible for severe outbreaks due to human-to-human transmission. Our aims were to increase awareness and promote the search for risk factors and disease monitoring to prevent(...)
