Analysis of the nutritional composition and organization of school meals in the province of Kadiogo in Burkina Faso: challenges and prospects
Compaore W. R. Ella Marie Michèle, OUEDRAOGO Ousmane, TIATOU Souho, BENGALY Marcel D., SIMPORE Mamouna P. , DICKO Mamoudou H.
Face aux pénuries alimentaires et à la précarité, les repas scolaires sont un moyen efficace d'encourager les élèves à fréquenter l'école et à y rester, et de lutter contre les carences nutritionnelles. Malheureusement, il existe des goulets d'étranglement à identifier et à résoudre.
L’objectif de l’étude était d’analyser la composition des r(...)

Diachronic Study Of Water Erosion By GIS/RUSLE Approach In The Upper Catchment Of The Sissili (Burkina Faso)
Augustin YAMEOGO, Oumar KABORE, Badaye Abdoulaye SIRIMA, Mathias Philippe BAGRE
Soil erosion is one of the main sources of land degradation and is an important issue in Burkina Faso, including
the upper Sissili watershed. Among the degradation processes, water erosion is the most important threat to soils. It results
in a reduction of the thickness of the soil and a decrease in the level of organic matter, thus a degr(...)

Monitoring the Air-fuel Ratio (AFR) of a Biomass Gasification Process with an Arduino Uno 3 and a Narrow Band Lambda Oxygen Sensor
Hamidou Salou a*, Nzihou Jean Fidele b , Zoundi Ousmane b , Ouattara Frederic b and Segda Bila Gerard c
The Air-Fuel Ratio is one of the keys parameters for driving the gasification process. Monitoring of oxygen percentage in flue gases is one of various ways of controlling efficiency and emissions of industrial combustion. Biomass gasification is a thermochemical degradation of the biomass that is accomplished with the Air-Fuel Ratio less than(...)
