Technical and economic pre-feasibility study for the construction of septic tank-filter-sinkhole with alternative material
Received: February 2nd, 2021 ; Accepted: August 3rd, 2021 ; Published: August 24th, 2021 ; Correspondence: [email protected] study of the different materials used in the construction of septic tanks aims to
facilitate and spread the use of this sewage treatment system in places that are not assisted by
municipal sewage systems and in the rural area, which despite having a smaller number of
inhabitants compared to the urban area This study aims to carry out a technical and economic
evaluation of the concrete and tires using in the construction of septic tanks-filter-sinkhole. The
wastewater treatment systems were built according to the recommendations in NBR 7229/93 and
13969/97. To evaluate the efficiency of each system built, the following parameters were
analyzed: chemical oxygen demand (COD), the potential of hydrogen (pH), alkalinity, acidity,
and temperature. In the economic evaluation, the materials and labor required to install the
systems were considered using the Brazilian cost database (SINAPI), and an economic and
financial feasibility study was carried out. According to the technical and economic analysis of
construction, both systems showed the same technical performance, however, the concrete design
proved to be more advantageous than the tire design, considering the difficulty in acquiring the
tires and the high cost if it is necessary to buy them, in addition to the greater difficulty in handling
and installing the tire system compared to the concrete one
Information-Geometric Indicators of Chaos in Gaussian Models on Statistical Manifolds of Negative Ricci Curvature
A new information-geometric approach to chaotic dynamics on curved
statistical manifolds based on Entropic Dynamics (ED) is proposed. It is shown
that the hyperbolicity of a non-maximally symmetric 6N-dimensional statistical
manifold M_{s} underlying an ED Gaussian model describing an arbitrary system
of 3N degrees of freedom leads to linear information-geometric entropy growth
and to exponential divergence of the Jacobi vector field intensity, quantum and
classical features of chaos respectively.Comment: 8 pages, final version accepted for publicatio

Transitions of cardio-metabolic risk factors in the Americas between 1980 and 2014
Describing the prevalence and trends of cardiometabolic risk factors that are associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is crucial for monitoring progress, planning prevention, and providing evidence to support policy efforts. We aimed to analyse the transition in body-mass index (BMI), obesity, blood pressure, raised blood pressure, and diabetes in the Americas, between 1980 and 2014
