Wastewater Treatment with Geotextile Filters: The Role in Permeability and Pollutant Control by Maria Vitoria Morais, Leonardo Marchiori, Josivaldo Sátiro, Antonio Albuquerque, Victor Cavaleiro

“…The objective of this research was to analyze clogging through variations in permeability, using column tests for 80 days with two types of nonwoven geotextiles with different grammages (GT120 and GT300), as well as to study the efficiency in the removal of organic matter. A synthetic wastewater was used, allowing the specific observation of biological clogging and the treatment carried out exclusively by microorganisms. …”

Increasing Cattle Herd Size or Density in C₃ Grass–Legume Meadows Reduces Dietary Quality by John Derek Scasta, Fernando Forster Furquim

“…Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy of fecal samples (f.NIRS) was used to estimate crude protein (CP), digestible organic matter (DOM), and the DOM:CP ratio. Structural equation modeling (SEM) that mediated time (i.e., Day of Year) rendered all animal number or density variables as significant predictors for CP and DOM (negative estimates) and for DOM:CP (positive estimate), indicating that congregating animals in larger groups and/or greater densities, even in meadows with high-quality forage species, may reduce post-ingestive diet quality estimates by −1.2% and −2.0 for CP and DOM for every +100 animals or for every +10 animals per hectare. …”
