Nitrogen and phosphorus spatio-temporal distribution and fluxes intensifying eutrophication in three tropical rivers of Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa).

Nutrient contamination assessments in the three West African tropical Comoé, Bandama, and Bia Rivers (Côte d'Ivoire) were performed from March 2016 to March 2018. Five stations per river were sampled. Nutrients spatio-temporal distributions were mapped and showed nitrogen concentrations (nitrite 0.001 to 0.025 mg/L NO2--N, and nitrate 0.26 to 3.60 mg/L NO3--N) increased significantly with rainfall contrary to phosphorus (0.01 to 0.12 mg/L P). The Chl-a and TSItsr data revealed the hypereutrophic status of rivers. Moreover, N:P mass ratio suggests nitrogen as the main limiting factor of primary production during the low (March) and high flow periods (October-November), while phosphorus is the limiting factor in June, at the high flow beginning. The land uses around watersheds were the main sources of phosphorus and nitrogen enhancing the rivers' eutrophication. Phosphorus and nitrogen fluxes were related to leaching river catchments and were significant sources of nutrients to the Atlantic Ocean.

Support a prosthetic edentulous patient aims to optimize the rudimentary functions of mastication and phonation. Knowing the routine procedures in dentistry is needed. These prostheses can be a source of criticism in terms of the quality of life they provide. Chronologically, several steps must be followed when delivered: Reception at the dental office of the prosthesis, with its technical specifications, Meticulous checks prosthetic surfaces, Introduction in the oral cavity of dentures smoothly, The stability of the prosthesis is tested initially, Second occlusion is checked, The esthetic of the prosthesis previously endorsed in the fittings, is popular again, Phonetic tests are performed to help verify the positioning of the teeth in relation to the lips, Tests for judging the ability to swallow, to incise and biting at the posterior teeth are made by the patient, Check alignment of mounting the entire face, Follow the recommendations for proper use of the prosthesis. The complementarily of these steps determines the integration of the prosthesis, but the patient must be informed early in the treatment of functional and aesthetic limits of its future prosthesis.
