Forecasted Changes in West Africa Photovoltaic Energy Output by 2045
Serge Dimitri Yikwe Buri Bazyomo , Emmanuel Agnidé Lawin , Ousmane Coulibaly and Abdoulaye Ouedraogo
The impacts of climate change on photovoltaic (PV) output in the fifteen countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was analyzed in this paper. Using a set of eight climate models, the trends of solar radiation and temperature between 2006–2100 were examined. Assuming a lifetime of 40 years, the future changes of photov(...)

Impact of Small-World Effect on the ip-level Routing Dynamics
Frédéric Tounwendyam Ouédraogo, Tegawendé Bissyandé, Sawadogo Daouda, Didier Bassolé, Abdoulaye Séré, Oumarou Sié
Running periodically traceroute-like measurements at suite frequency from a given monitor towards a fixed set of destinations allows observing a dynamics of routing topology around the monitor. This observed dynamics has revealed two main characteristics: the topology evolves at a pace much higher than expected and the occurrence of observed i(...)

Densification behaviour of chamotte grog for refractory bricks : mineralogy and microstructure
Moustapha Sawadogo, Mohamed Seynou, Lamine Zerbo, Brahima Sorgho, Adama Yameogo, Younoussa Millogo, Raguilnaba Ouedraogo
The paper deal with the densification behaviour of chamotte grog made with raw clay material at
high temperature. The sintering conditions as temperature (1100, 1200, 1300 and 1400°C) temperature time (0.5;
1 and 2hours) have been varied to check the optimal condition to produce grog with better characteristics. The
