Comparison of conditioning factor classification criteria in large-scale statistically based landslide susceptibility models by M. Sinčić, S. Bernat Gazibara, M. Rossi, S. Mihalić Arbanas

“…The large-scale landslide susceptibility models were derived for small and shallow landslides in the pilot area (21 km<span class="inline-formula">²</span>) located in the City of Zagreb (Croatia), which occur mainly in soils and soft rocks. Some of the novelties in LSA are the following: scenarios using stretched landslide conditioning factor values or classification with more than 10 classes prove more reliable; certain statistical methods are more sensitive to the landslide conditioning factor classification criteria than others; all the tested machine learning methods give the best landslide susceptibility model performance using continuous stretched landslide conditioning factors derived from high-resolution input data. …”

Evaluation of Biocoagulant “Opuntia ficus-indica and Chitosan” to Improve the Removal of Contaminants in Dairy Effluents through Electrocoagulation by Naysha Y. M. Elguera, Stephanie E. S. Pulcha, Edgar M. M. Ballon, Miriam R. F. Castro, Lilia M. M. Ramos, Victor L. A. Tohalino, Pavel K. D. Sarmiento, Vitor C. Almeida, Hugo G. J. Pacheco

“…The dairy industry is classified, worldwide, as one of the main wastewater-generating industries. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of parameters on the percentage of turbidity (TB) removal and chemical oxygen demand (COD), using as pretreatment a combined coagulation process using a biocoagulant composed of chitosan and Opuntia ficus-indica mucilage (OFI): chitosan-mucilage (Q-M from 1 to 9), and an electrocoagulation process with operational variables of biocoagulant dose (0.025, 0.05 y 0.1 g/L), current density (30, 40 y 50 mA/cm2), and time (10, 15 y 20 minutes). …”
