Automated Comment Update: How Far are We?
Bo Lin, Shangwen Wang, Kui Liu, Xiaoguang Mao, Tegawende F. Bissyande
Code comments are key to program comprehension. When they are not consistent with the code, maintenance is
hindered. Yet developers often forget to update comments along with their code evolution. With recent advances in neural machine translation, the research community is contemplating novel approaches for automatically generating up-to-dat(...)

Benthic Macroinvertebrates as Ecological Indicators: Their Sensitivity to the Water Quality and Human Disturbances in a Tropical River
Lallébila Tampo, Idrissa Kaboré, Elliot Haruna Alhassan, Adama Ouéda, Limam Bawa, Gbandi Djanéyé-Boundjou
Macroinvertebrate metrics are helpful tools for the assessment of water quality and overall aquatic ecosystem health. However, their degree of sensitivity and the most reliable metrics for the bioassessment program development are very poorly studied in Togo. This study aimed to test the sensitivity of metrics calculated at the family and genu(...)

Influence of micro-habitats on the distribution of macroinvertebrates in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Victor Bancé, Adama Ouéda, Idrissa Kaboré, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Komandan Mano, Peter D.M. Weesie, Gustave B. Kabré
In this work, we assessed micro-habitat's influence on the distribution of macroinvertebrates in lake Ziga in Burkina Faso from July to December 2016. The water quality variables were measured in situ and the macroinvertebrates were collected with a hand net. The organisms were identified to the lower taxonomic resolution as possible. The resu(...)

Geochemistry and geodynamic constraint of volcanic and plutonic magmatism within the Banfora Belt (Burkina-Faso, West-Africa): contribution to Mineral Exploration.
Herman Ilboudo, Sâga Sawadogo, G. Hubert Zongo, Séta Naba, Urbain Wenmenga, Martin Lompo
Predominant volcano-plutonic (mafic–felsic) activity is expressed in the eastern Banfora Belt. The geochemical signature shows different geodynamic settings: (1) mafic rocks are tholeiitic, subalkaline and show high-Mg tendency, whereas pyroxenolite (MgO c. 15.4 wt%) has komatiite affinity; (2) felsic volcanic rocks are subalkaline; and (3) gra(...)
