The present study was carried out in order to identify the ant fauna and her potential role as auxiliary of an agricultural system based on cocoa trees leeched by Loranthaceae, in Nkolbisson neighborhood in Yaoundé (Cameroon). The work was conducted from May to September 2015. An inventory of all woody species and the associated ant fauna was carried out beforehand, followed by an inventory of the ant fauna associated couples Theobroma cacao/Loranthaceae during periods of non-flowering, flowering and fruiting Loranthaceae. We inventoried a total of 187 plants of which 44 (23.53%) were parasitized by flowering-shrub epiphytes (Loranthaceae). Theobroma cacao (cocoa) appeared to be the most abundant species (122 plants) followed by Dacryodes edulis (16 safou trees) and Mangifera indica (15 mango trees). Three species of Loranthaceae were identified: Tapinanthus preussii (Engler) Van Tieghem and Phragmanthera capitata (Sprengel) S. Balle which both attack Theobroma cacao (cocoa tree) and Tapinanthus bangwensis (Engl.et. Krause) Denser which attacks mainly forest type trees. Five sub-families of ants (Pseudomyrmicinae, Dolychoderinae, Ponerinae, Formicinae and Myrmicinae) divided into 16 genera and 35 species were recorded throughout the agrosystem. Tetramorium acculeatum has emerged as the most dominant ant species on both T. preussii and P. capitata. Monitoring of the ant foraging activity during flowering and fruiting Loranthaceae shows they participate in the flowers fall.

The potential feasibility of mango leaves powder (MLP) (Mangifera indica) for removal of dye (Grey BL) from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters were examined and optimal experimental conditions were decided. Above the value of initial pH 7, the dye studied could be removed effectively. The isothermal data fitted the Langmuir model or Freundlich model. The adsorption processes followed the pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. The results in this study indicated that mango leaf powder (MLP) was an attractive candidate for removing dye from dye wastewater.

En zone tropicale humide, la valeur des systèmesagroforestierspour lesagriculteurs est souvent difficile à évaluer. À partir d’un inventaire floristique réalisé dans 14 cacao- yères agroforestières du Centre-Cameroun, l’article propose leur évaluation participative basée sur la méthode de distribution des cailloux mobilisée pour quantifier la valeur accordée par les agriculteurs à chaque espèce en fonction des usages attribués. Au total, 86 espèces ligneuses ont été inventoriées. Les cinq espèces les plus fré- quentes ont été le safoutier, Dacryodes edulis, avec 18 % des arbres inventoriés, l’avocatier, Persea americana,  avec  11 %, le fraké, Terminalia superba, avec 10 %, le figuier, Ficus mucoso, avec 5 %, et Albizia adianthifolia, avec 3 %. Vingt-deux espèces (26 %) n’ont eu aucun usage pour les agri- culteursqui ont défini sept usagesdifférents pour lesautresespècesinventoriées. Parmi cesespèces, la valeur d’usage la plusélevée a été attribuée au cacaoyer (20 %). Ensuite, par ordre décroissant, les cinq espèces qui ont eu les valeurs d’usage les plus élevées ont été l’ayous, Triplochyton scleroxylon, le sapelli, Entandrophragma cylindricum, le safoutier, Dacryodes edulis, le palmier à huile, Elaeis guineensis, et le manguier, Mangifera indica. Le profil d’usage des cacaoyères a montré qu’elles sont princi- palement pilotées par les agriculteurs pour la vente de produits ligneux et non ligneux, l’autoconsommation de produitsnon ligneux et de produits médicinaux. Les résultats indiquent que les innovations techniques visant à améliorer lessystèmesagroforestiers cacaoyersdoivent tenir compte de leur com- plexité et de leur plurifonctionnalité.

The freeze etching technique is potentially useful for examining dilute solutions or suspensions of macromolecular materials. Quick freezing of aqueous solutions in Freon or propane at or near liquid nitrogen temperature produces relatively large ice crystals and these crystals may damage the structures to be examined. Cryoprotective agents may reduce damage to the specimem, hut their use often results in the formation of a different set of specimem artifacts.In a study of the structure of polyethylene oxide gels glycerol and sucrose were used as cryoprotective agents. The experiments reported here show some of the structures which can appear when these cryoprotective agents are used.Figure 1 shows a fractured surface of a frozen 25% aqueous solution of sucrose. The branches of dendritic ice crystals surrounded hy ice-sucrose eutectic can be seen. When this fractured surface is etched the ice in the dendrites sublimes giving the type of structure shown in Figure 2. The ice-sucrose eutectic etches much more slowly. It is the smooth continuous structural constituent surrounding the branches of the dendrites.

The industrial importance of metal catalysts supported on reducible oxides has stimulated considerable interest during the last few years. This presentation reports on the study of the physicochemical properties of metallic rhodium supported on vanadium pentoxide (Rh/V2O5). Electron optical methods, in conjunction with other techniques, were used to characterise the catalyst before its use in the hydrogenolysis of butane; a reaction for which Rh metal is known to be among the most active catalysts.V2O5 powder was prepared by thermal decomposition of high purity ammonium metavanadate in air at 400 °C for 2 hours. Previous studies of the microstructure of this compound, by HREM, SEM and gas adsorption, showed it to be non— porous with a very low surface area of 6m2/g3. The metal loading of the catalyst used was lwt%Rh on V2Q5. It was prepared by wet impregnating the support with an aqueous solution of RhCI3.3H2O.
