Isolation and Characterization of hydrocarbondegrading Bacteria from Wastewaters in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso
Sawadogo Adama, Otoidobiga C.Hamonie, Sawadogo B. Joseph, Kaboré Aminata, Traoré S. Alfred, Dianou Dayéri
Lubricants are very often found in nature under waste-oil forms and represent for the environment a real danger of pollution due to the difficulty of their biodegradation. The situation is especially worrying in most developing countries in particular those of Sub-Saharan Africa due to the absence of regulation or control. The present work aim(...)

Studies in the Evaluation of Unconventional Oils from Burkina Faso Rich in Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid or Other Unusual Fatty Acids
BAZONGO Patrice, Bassole IHN, Soren Nielsen, Mamoudou H. DICKO and Vijai KS Shukla
A study on unconventional seed oils from Burkina Faso was carried out to determine their potential usefulness. The highest oil content was obtained with Marantes polyandra (55.0%) and the lowest with Detarium microcarpum seed oil (12.0%). Linoleic and oleic acids were the most dominant fatty acids of Balanites aegyptiaca, Combretum aculeatum,(...)

Analyse de la situation nutritionnelle de la population riveraine du barrage de Boura, Burkina Faso
SANOU Korotimi, ZEBA Augustin, DIPAMA Jean-Marie, CECCHI Philippe
Les potentialités offertes par les petits barrages ne sont plus à démontrer (culture
irriguée, pêche, élevage, usage domestique, confection de briques etc). Ces réserves
sont considérées comme des stratégies d'anticipation et de gestion de risque
alimentaire pour la communauté bénéficiaire, majoritairement agricole. La
combinaison d'inform(...)

Arts et expressions culturelles dans les clips vidéos de Annou et Dibayagui de l’artiste Bil Aka Kora
GANOU Souleymane
Dans l’Afrique traditionnelle musique et danse, avec leurs formes diverses de théâtralisation, accompagnaient la quasi-totalité des cérémonies (mariage, baptême, lutte, culture, décès, funérailles, etc.). Des artistes africains vont s’inspirer de ces expressions artistiques traditionnelles de l’Afrique d’antan, dans l’optique de donner une tei(...)

Culture et identité : La Culture identitaire africaine
TIBIRI Dieudonné, DOGON DADJI Umar Muhammad
La culture est ce qui nous reste quand on a tout perdu », ainsi s’exprimait un auteur africain. La culture est le fondement de toute chose, c’est pour cette raison qu’elle est un pan de notre identité. C’est pour cela que gravite autour d’elle des notions comme l’identité. De nos jours l’une rime avec l’autre au point où nous parlons désormais(...)

Diversité et structure des cordons ripicoles le long de la sirba (Nord-Est du Burkina Faso).
Elice KABORE *, Oumarou SAMBARE, Amadé OUEDRAOGO et Adjima THIOMBIANO
Les Cordons ripicoles sont des végétations bordant les rivières à écoulement temporaire et qui
possèdent des sols riches et une grande capacité en bois. Ces ressources sont anarchiquement utilisées par
l’homme créant ainsi la fragmentation des berges. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une évaluation de la
diversité et de la structure de(...)

Ageing of clay and clay–tannin geomaterials for building
I. Keita a, B. Sorgho b, C. Dembele a, M. Plea a, L. Zerbo b, B. Guel b, R. Ouedraogo b, M. Gomina c, P. Blanchart d,
Clay geomaterials for building are clay sand mixture with controlled microstructural characteristics. The macroscopic strength mostly results from the binding property of clays and can be increased with the addition of various additives as tannins from plants. Such an improvement is due to the formation of chemical complexes tannin–clay–iron h(...)
