Effects of a Cyclone Dimensions on Quality of Syngas Produced with a Wood-fired Biomass Gasifier
Nzihou Jean Fidele a* , Hamidou Salou b , Segda Bila Gerard c , Ouattara Frederic a and Compaore Hamidou a
Charcoal gasification was widely used during the second World War to deal with petroleum scarcity.
When petroleum was again available after the war, gasification was neglected afterwards.
However, fossils resources are know as non-renewable and there are several reseach carried out
all over the world to develop renewable sources of energ(...)

Introduction: Cervical cancer, caused by persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, remains a global public health problem. The cellular transformation and maintenance of the malignant phenotype of these
HPVs are attributed to the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7. Objective: This
study aims to detect the presence of human pap(...)

Assessment of the Aflatoxin Content of Maize Flours Produced in the Commune of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adama Sawadogo, Raoul Bazié, Hama Cissé, Latifatou Helbi, Cheikna Zongo, Aly Savadogo
Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites present in various foods, especially when production and conservation do not respect good hygiene practices (GHP). In Ouagadougou, maize flour is produced and sold in different structures by actors who do not always respect GHP. Thus, it is necessary to regularly control the quality of these flours. So, this is(...)

The Fall Armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the main crop pests in Burkina Faso. The growing resistance of FAW to chemical insecticides and their harmful effects on humans and the environment necessitates the search for biodegradable and eco-friendly substances. Therefore, alternative control methods, such as the use of essential(...)
