Evaluating the impact of satellite precipitation data uncertainties on streamflow and actual evapotranspiration simulations

The uncertainty associated with satellite precipitation data poses a challenge for hydrological modelling in West Africa, where access to observed data remains difficult. This study aims to analyse these uncertainties in the performance of GR4J, in terms of its simulation of disc...

A remarkable case of an adult male Western Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus killed in fire at its non-breeding site in Africa

We report on the remarkable case of an adult male Western Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus (family Accipitridae), tracked using a GPS-GSM logger, that was killed in a rice stubble fire at its non-breeding site in Mali, West Africa. The inferred time of death, as derived from the...

Evaluation of Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Thermoplastic Starch Blend Obtained by Reactive Melt Processing in Presence of Organic Acids

Starch-based materials are a diverse and rapidly growing class of bio-based, biodegradable, and renewable materials derived primarily from plant starch such as corn, potato, tapioca, wheat, rice, etc. They can offer a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plasti...

A Theoretical Framework for Pedagogical Innovation in Senegalese STEM Education: Integrating Culturally Responsive Praxis and Technological Integration

STEM education in Senegal faces persistent challenges, including low learner engagement and achievement. Prevailing pedagogical approaches often fail to connect with learners' lived experiences and the local socio-cultural context, while technology integration remains superficial...
