The document discusses two separate topics. The first is about evaluating sedimentation processes in rectangular channels used in the cassava starch industry in Colombia. It found that particles larger than 10um were efficiently retained in the first 104m of the channels, while particles between 6.7-8.8um were discharged. The second topic examines the sexual risks for adolescents based on the age of sexual debut. It found that those with early sexual debut (before 15 years old) reported more masturbation, intercourse and oral sex with more partners than those with later debut, and were associated with increased risk of infections if protection was not used. The conclusion was that the age of sexual debut impacts youth sexual health.
