3. Background
The production of cassava starch in
Colombia comes mainly from the
northern region of the Cauca
Department in small agricultural
industries known as “rallanderías”,
in which the settling of the slurry
occurs in channels.
4. A im or porpuse of research
Evaluate the sedimentation process
performed in rectangular channels
Two main components were
evaluated: determination of the
change in the concentration of the
slurry entering the settling zone and
determination.
5. Method used
It is important to evaluate
the sedimentation process
performed in rectangular
channels (0.3m high; 0.4
m wide; 165 m long).
6. Findings/results
In relation to the affluent of the channels, it
was found that the concentration of the
slurry during strainer operation was
between 0.1 to 6% most of the time.
The particles greater than 10 μm in size
were efficiently retained; particles between
6,7 to 8,8 μm were not retained and were
discharged into local bodies of water,
generating environmental problems.
9. Background
In spain Young people have
thein first sexual intercaurse

Sexual practies and
methods of protection are
analyzed depending on the

spains adolescents who are

11. Method used
Three groups were formed
acoren to the age of sexual
debut reported early sexual
(earlier than is years),
avarege (15 years) and late
(later tan 15 years).
12. Findings/results
The early sexual debut group reported
further mutual masturbation, vaginal
intercourse and oral sex with a higher
nomber of sexual parthers tan the rest.
Condom use at first intercourse,
purcentage of use and consisten condom
use was significantly lower in the early
