A mobile cloud-based application for renal insufficiency patient monitoring
Lydie Simone Tapsoba, Ferdinand GUINKO, et Hatem Ben Sta,
Burkina Faso is witnessing a rising of Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD). Despite numerous challenges to the healthcare systems, the government has recognized CKD as a top priority in his agenda and has set effective strategies against the disease. To go along with the government strategy we have proposed a mobile health application architecture f(...)

Biofuel from Balanites aegyptiaca: Optimization of the Feedstock Supply Chain
Linda Dominique Fabiola Bambara, Marie Sawadogo, Daniel Roy, Didier Anciaux, Joël Blin and Salifou Koucka Ouiminga
In arid and semi-arid climates, Balanites aegyptiaca (B. aegyptiaca) is a potential plant to produce oilseed-based biofuels. In this paper an optimization model for a wild biomass supply chain is presented. The model was developed to identify the optimal organization of the supply network that minimizes the cost of supplying the feedstock. It(...)

Application of the SBA Method for Solving the Partial Differential Equation
Gires Dimitri NKAYA, Francis Bassono, Rasmané Yaro, BISSANGA Gabriel
The nonlinear problem play a significant role in many diverse areas of science and technology. Many problem are gou-verned by partial differential equations, or by systems of partial differential equations. It is difficult to find their exactsolutions. In this paper, we use the Some Blaise Abbo (SBA) method to find the exact solution of some w(...)

Performance Investigation of a Silicon Photovoltaic Module under the Influence of a Magnetic Field
Dioari Ulrich Combari, Emmanuel Wendsongré Ramde, Idrissa Sourabie, Martial Zoungrana, Issa Zerbo, and Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
Aside from the terrestrial magnetic field that is generated from the earth core, power transmission, and distribution lines, transformers and other equipment do produce a certain amount of magnetic field that could interfere with the performance of photovoltaic modules. This study conducted an experiment and investigated the performance of a s(...)

Geographical distribution of ABO and RHD antigens is important for blood transfusion
services and population genetics studies. There are few data on this topic in
Burkina Faso, a multi‐ethnic country. Our study aims at reporting phenotypic and
allelic frequencies of ABO and RHD blood groups among voluntary blood donors
from various ethnica(...)

Overview of the Burkina Faso seed system: Case of the formal seed system
Lardia Ali Bougma, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Mahamadi Ouedraogo, Didier Balma, Mahamadou Sawadogo1
The seed law adopted since 2006 in Burkina Faso remains little known as its tools are unsuited to the conditions of the farmers. So, it must be revised to take into account the knowledge levels of different seed producers. To
increase crops yields, the country has initiated an extension program of improved varieties. Despite the efforts to r(...)

Analysis of off-farm work decisions among smallholder farm households in Burkina Faso
Soumaïla Gansonré
This article investigates off-farm work decisions by smallholder farm households. Using data on 1,101 households from Burkina Faso, it demonstrates that in addition to the usual household socio-demographic characteristics, remittances, access to information and beneficiary of specific training affect off-farm work decisions, as well as rainfal(...)

Complémentarités et concurrences sur le terrain du développement rural. L’Union fraternelle des croyants et les services déconcentrés de l’État (Dori, Burkina Faso) »
KABORE Koudbi
Dans la concurrence qui se joue entre les différents acteurs du développement rural, la question de la professionnalisation est généralement mise en avant. Les services techniques de l’Etat qui coordonnent ou supervisent l’action des ONG exigent généralement de celles-ci qu’elles mobilisent en leur sein des compétences techniques (des savoirs(...)

Variability and estimating in fruiting of shea tree (Vitellariaparadoxa C.F. Gaertn) associated to climatic conditions in West Africa: implications for sustainable management and development
Loyapin Bondé, Oumarou Ouédraogo, Issaka Ouédraogo, Adjima Thiombiano & Joseph I. Boussim
Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is one of the main native oil plants with high economic value in Africa. Its fruits are used for food, medicinal, cultural and exportation purposes. However, the lack of efficient tools to assess annual fruit production of the species limits the sustainable management of its resources. Therefore, production stat(...)
