In Côte d'Ivoire, the non-alcoholic beverage industry is gradually turning to fruits from local wild species. More and more products from the latter are entering the market. Black plum, fruit of Vitex doniana, very pleasant and rich in bioactive compounds, has been transformed into nectar without the addition of preservatives. As a result, this product remains subject to a possible alteration of its nutritional quality and to reduction of its shelf life. Monitoring of the evolution of certain biochemical parameters of traditional nectar of black plums stored at different temperatures, for thre...

The objective of this study is to analyze the prospective of the low water flows of the N'zo-Sassandra River located in the West of Ivory Coast. The hydroclimatic data used (rainfall, ETP, flow) extend on the one hand over the historical period (1961-2017) and on the other hand over the future period 2071-2100 (CORDEX data). The methodological approach adopted is based on the analysis of past low flows, the climate prospective analysis and the hydrological prospective analysis. The hydrological impact variable used is the annual minimum monthly mean flow (MAMF). Thus, a pessimistic climate for...

An agri-food company specializing in the processing of crude palm oil into refined oil generates physico-chemical and biological sludge from its SN Cie-coded wastewater treatment plant. This sludge is therefore a management issue. The aim of this study is to valorize the sludge from a wastewater treatment plant located in an industrial zone in Vridi/Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) into biogas. The physico-chemical characteristics of the sludge and its methanogenic potential were assessed, followed by optimization of biogas production. These results revealed that the biological sludge (73.08% MS) conta...

Biodiversity within a biological group provides the basis for distinguishing members into genera and species according to taxonomic criteria, and between individuals within a species depending on more detailed differences at the genetic level. Diversity between species occurs after a genetic barrier has been created either by a geographic or genetic impedance of gene flow. Divergence can continue by nucleotide substitutions and by mutations in a broader sense (deletions, translocations, duplications), and resulting diversity can be evaluated at the molecular level and used as a phylogenetic ch...

Abstract Accurate predictions of herbicide dissipation endpoints are essential for making environmental management decisions, estimating the duration of weed control, and deciding crop replant and rotation options. The performance of the single first‐order (SFO), first‐order multiple‐compartment (FOMC), bi‐exponential (BEXP), first‐order double‐exponential decay (FODED), and first‐order two‐compartment (FOTC) was evaluated to describe S ‐metolachlor dissipation. Results showed that the BEXP and FOTC were not appropriate. The FODED was ranked as the top model with the lowest Akaike's informatio...

Defluoridation of groundwater was performed in a batch reactor using bivalve shell powder (BSP) as adsorbent. The physicochemical characteristics of BSP, studied by Fourier Transform Infrared, X-ray Diffraction and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry after dissolution, have shown that BSP was mainly composed of crystalline CaCO3 (∼97.8%). The effects of pH, initial fluoride concentration, adsorbent dose and contact time on the adsorption capacity of BSP were investigated. For an initial fluoride concentration of 2.2 mg/L and with 16 g/L of BSP, after 8 hours of treatment,...

This paper deals with the study of the numerical approximation for the following semilinear equation with a nonlinear absorption term ut = uxx− λup, 0 < x < 1, t > 0, and a nonlinear flux boundary condition ux(0,t) = 0, ux(1,t) = uq(1,t), t > 0. We give conditions under which the positive semidiscrete solution blows up in a finite time. Convergence of the numerical blow-up time to the theoretical one when the mesh size goes to zero is established. Finally, we use an efficient algorithm to estimate the blow-up time.

This work aims to study nitrate ions removal using Borassus aethiopum activated carbon (BA-AC) in a synthetic medium. BA-AC was prepared through artisanal method in order to provide a low-cost activated carbon. Physico-chemical characterization of BA-AC has shown a high-specific surface area (1431 m2/g). Analysis of surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy, mean pore diameter (2.76 nm) and adsorption/desorption isotherm resulted in the mesoporous adsorbent. The existence of functional groups (C = O; C–H; C–OH) was highlighted by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. A percentage o...

We assessed the total phenols content (TPC) by Folin-Ciocalteux method, total flavonoids content (TFC), and antioxidant activity (AOA) using ABTS radical cation of Borassus aethiopum Mart ripe fruits; uniquely its pulp was considered. Fresh and dried at 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80oC pulps were analyzed, through maceration and decoction, and distilled water (DW), aqueous acetone (DW+Aceto, DW/acetone, 30/70, v/v) and aqueous methanol (DW+Meth) prepared in the same way were used. Though 80oC product extracted through decoction delivered the highest extracts of TPC with DW, DW+Aceto and DW+Meth, 654.43...

In this article, we discuss a vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) for the transport of perishable products with considera-‎tion of road roughness constraints. The proposed model includes simultaneous pickup and delivery operations. Unlike almost all previous ‎studies, which mainly consider travel distance and temperature as factors in product deterioration, we take into account the roughness condi-‎tions of the roads in order to preserve their quality during transport. The objective is therefore to satisfy a set of customers, while respecting ‎the constraints related to multi-pro...

The essay assessed Borassus aethiopum (B.a) ripe fruits’ dried pulp effect on egg yolk coloration. First, thirty-six Harco laying hens, 42 weeks old with similar weight (α=0.05) were allotted in 12 cages of 4m2 (2m x 2m, respectively for length x width) each. Second, 4 laying hens’ diets were formulated; a yellow corn-based diet (YC), a white corn-based diet (WC), a white corn-based diet supplemented with 10% of B.a mature fruits’ dried pulp (WC+10%B.a), and finally a white corn-based diet supplemented with 20% of B.a ripe fruits’ dried pulp (WC+10%B.a). During the evaluations, similar eggs fo...

This paper is concerned with novel approaches to solve performance and addressing problems inherent in computer systems. The core of the neuron-like processing machine (NLPM) comprised of a unique type of computer architecture for constructing massively parallel processing machines, with unique types of pattern recognition system and addressing mechanisms that enhances the performance for identification and retrieval of known data patterns. The architecture of the NLPM has neuronal nodes bundled as groups fully interconnected and structured similar to the human brain, therefore the machine is...

For many smallholder farmers of Sub-Saharan Africa, pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is an important crop to make ends meet. To ascertain the taxonomic status of pigeonpea isolates of Côte d'Ivoire previously identified as bradyrhizobia, a polyphasic approach was applied to strains CI-1BT, CI-14A, CI-19D and CI-41S. Phylogeny of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes placed these nodule isolates in a separate lineage from current species of the B. elkanii super clade. In phylogenetic analyses of single and concatenated partial dnaK, glnII, gyrB, recA and rpoB sequences, the C. cajan isolates again formed a s...

The study assessed the optimum incorporation rate of Borassus aethiopum (Ba) ripe fruits' dried pulp in laying hens' feed. So, 72 Isa Brown laying hens of 37-week-old were allotted into 9 groups of 8 hens each. Then, 3 control diets including 60% yellow corn (60%YC), 55.2% yellow corn (55.2%YC) and 60% white corn (60%WC) were formulated. Additionally, 6 test diets were made by substituting 5%; 7.5%; 10%; 12.5% and 15% of 60%WC by Ba ripe fruits' dried pulp. Then, randomly each hens' group received one diet. The experiment lasted 90 days, week-39 - week-50. Each day, the eggs were weighed, and...

This study aimed to develop sex reversal procedures targeting the embryonic period as tools to study the early steps of sex differentiation in Nile tilapia with XX, XY, and YY sexual genotypes. XX eggs were exposed to masculinizing treatments with androgens (17α-methyltestosterone, 11-ketotestosterone) or aromatase inhibitor (Fadrozole), whereas XY and YY eggs were subjected to feminizing treatments with estrogen analog (17α-ethynylestradiol). All treatments consisted of a single or double 4-hr immersion applied between 1 and 36 hour post-fertilization (hpf). Concentrations of active substance...
