Bus, bike and random journeys: Crowdsourcing aid distribution in Ivory Coast

Bus, bike and random journeys: Crowdsourcing aid distribution in Ivory Coast

In many developing countries (e.g., Ivory Coast, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria), half the population lives in rural locations, where accessibility to school materials, medical supplies, mosquito nets, and clothing is restricted [2]. Distribution to these locations typically requires direct road transport, which is time consuming and requires bulk volume to be cost effective. In response to these limi...

New epilithic Naviculales (Bacillariophyta) from Ivory Coast

Epilithic diatom of the Ivory Coast is very poorly understood, aims of this study are: to document the epilithic diatom diversity from Naviculales. In this study, the epilithic diatoms in the samples collected from ten stations on the Me River between February and July 2012. A total of 56 Naviculales new taxa in 8 families were recorded. The taxonomic composition observed was dominated by Navic...

Infrasound from lightning measured in Ivory Coast

Previous measurement campaign, realized in France in 2005, has shown that an infrasound station can clearly measure thunder when lightning occur within 75 km from the station. In this paper, infrasound data recorded in Ivory Coast since 2005 are analyzed and compared to WWLLN data in order to quantify statistically the main trends observed in 2005. The main results are : (1) the (infrasonic) th...

Avian Cestodes of the Ivory Coast

Between 1985 and 1988, the cestodes of 1,252 wild birds (174 species) from the Ivory Coast (West Africa) were collected and studied. Of these birds, 15.7% were parasitized by an estimated 95-100 species of tapeworms, 55 of them having been determined or described. Most of the parasites were found in new hosts, and numerous new geographical records are reported. In general, both the prevalence a...
