The chemical characteristics of the typha-starch composite have been investigated in this study to optimize the component of the habitat insulation panel obtained from the two bio sourced materials. Four mixtures have been formulated and tested (st [...]
Abstract The variability of onshore wind energy potential has been investigated over Cotonou coast (Benin) under an unstable atmosphere. Data on the speed and the wind direction at 10 m above the ground recorded every 10 min, have been used over th [...]

Abstract This study, carried out in the context of climate change (greenhouse effect, rainfall acidity, atmospheric pollution), is part of the INDAAF (International Network to study Deposition and Atmospheric chemistry in Africa) program. It allowed [...]
This study has been focused on the vertical profile determination of the winds under a neutral atmosphere in order to assess of the wind power density at three sites in Guinea. The power law has been used as an extrapolation model for wind speed. Th [...]

Climate dynamics and trends have significant environmental and socioeconomic impacts; however, in the Benin Republic, they are generally studied with diverse statistical methods ignoring the nonstationarity, nonlinearity, and self-similarity charact [...]
The dynamic study of the harmonic exponential eld has been made using the state nder diagnostic. By the use of a speci c method, we nd out the state nder parameters r, s according to the deceleration parameter and the redshift. The numerical anal [...]
The design of solar energy systems requires knowledge of the global solar radiation received by solar panels on the ground. However, for many developing countries such as the Benin Republic, there is a serious lack of radiometric stations everywher [...]
Air pollution due to high concentrations of small particles is a severe issue in West Africa. In this regard, the international scientific team of the DACCIWA project (Dynamics-Aerosol- Chemistry-Cloud-Interactions In West Africa) recently published [...]
