Competition and facilitation-related factors impacts on crop performance in an agro-forestry parkland system in Burkina Faso
H. BAZIE
Parkia biglobosa and Vitellaria paradoxa are known to improve soil fertility and redistribute water under their crowns in parkland systems. A field experiment was conducted to separate above and belowground interactions between these species and associated Sorghum bicolor using root trenching and crown pruning during three cropping seasons. Tr(...)

Got issues? who cares about it? a large scale investigation of issue trackers from github
T. BISSYANDE
Feedback from software users constitutes a vital part in the evolution of software projects. By filing issue reports, users help identify and fix bugs, document software code, and enhance the software via feature requests. Many studies have explored issue reports, proposed approaches to enable the submission of higher-quality reports, and pres(...)

RELATING LOSS OF SOIL FERTILITY TO WATER AGGREGATE STABILITY AND NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY IN MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURAL CALCARIC SOILS
Patrizia Guidi, Gloria Falsone, Boussa Tockville Mare, Andrea Simoni, Paola Gioacchini, Gilmo Vianello
We investigated the topsoil from some mountain Regosols for their nutrient status and loss of fertility due to aggregate breakdown, establishing also the relationship between the nutrient losses, the soil characteristics and the aggregates stability. The aggregate stability varied from 57 to 80%. The nutrient losses differed among elements and(...)

Variation de caractères agromorphologiques et du Brix d’une collection de sorghos à tige sucrée du Burkina Faso
Baloua NEBIE, Romaric Kiswendsida NANEMA, Pauline BATIONO/KANDO, Ernest Renan TRAORE, Vanesse LABEYRIE, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO, Mahamadou SAWADOGO, Jean-Didier ZONGO
Le sorgho à tige sucrée est de nos jours une plante d’intérêt utilisée pour la production de biocarburant. Au Burkina Faso, les ressources génétiques de ce sorgho ne sont pas connues, encore moins exploitées. Pour comprendre les relations entre la concentration en sucre des tiges et les caractères agromorphologiques de cette plante, 117 access(...)

Potent Antiproliferative Cembrenoids Accumulate in Tobacco upon Infection with Rhodococcus fascians and Trigger Unusual Microtubule Dynamics in Human Glioblastoma Cells
Aminata P Nacoulma, Veronique Megalizzi, Laurent R Pottier, Manuela De Lorenzi, Sylviane Thoret, Joëlle Dubois, Olivier M Vandeputte, Pierre Duez, Danny Vereecke, Mondher El Jaziri
hough plant metabolic changes are known to occur during interactions with bacteria, these were rarely challenged for pharmacologically active compounds suitable for further drug development. Here, the occurrence of specific chemicals with antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines was evidenced in hyperplasia (leafy galls) indu(...)

Effects of parental union dissolution on child mortality and schooling in Burkina Faso
Gnoumou/Thiombiano, Bilampoa, Thomas K. LeGrand and Jean-François Kobiané
BACKGROUND
Family structure and union dissolution has been one of the most thoroughly studied
determinants of children‘s wellbeing worldwide. To date, however, few of these studies
have examined sub-Saharan Africa, especially countries in West Africa where marital
breakdowns are not uncommon.
OBJECTIVE
We attempt to examine the effects o(...)

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
es 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 des co(...)

« The Symbolic Use of Palm, Figurines, and Hibiscus in Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus»
André Kaboré
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie uses many symbols in her novel, Purple Hibiscus. An explanation of these symbols will lead readers to a deeper understanding of the message of the author. This paper focuses mainly on the symbols of palm, figurines and hibiscus which are used in Purple Hibiscus. It argues that these symbols represent some characters in(...)

Soil-Water Characteristic Curve Modeling at Low Water Content: Empirical and Semi-Empirical Approaches
Marcel Bawindsom Kebré, François Ouédraogo, Naon Betaboalé, Francois Zougmoré, Fabien Cherblanc
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the most widely used semi-empirical models (van Genuchten (1980), Fayer and Simmons (1995) and Fredlund and Xing (1994)) and, an empirical model, the Modified Kovacs (MK) model for the determination of soil-water characteristic curve at the low water contents of two horizons of a soil from Burkina(...)

Molecular characterization of genetic diversity within the Africa/Middle East/Asia Minor and Sub-Saharan African groups of the Bemisia tabaci species complex
Bemisia tabaci Gennadius is a major plant pest in many agricultural systems worldwide. It is a complex of cryptic species that differ in many ecological respects, including damage-causing potential. Monitoring the genetic composition of B. tabaci populations in the field is, therefore, essential for achieving effective control. Sequencing is c(...)
