Natural hazards generate disasters and huge losses in several aspects, with landslides being one of the natural risks that have caused great impacts worldwide. The aim this research was to explore a method based on machine learning evaluate susceptibility rotational an area near Cuenca city, Ecuador, which has high incidence these phenomena, mainly due its environmental conditions, which, however, such studies are scarce. implemented consisted artificial neural network multilayer perceptron...

Landslides are events that cause great impact in different parts of the world. Their destructive capacity generates loss life and considerable economic damage. In this research, several Machine Learning (ML) methods were explored to select most important conditioning factors, order evaluate susceptibility rotational landslides a sector surrounding city Cuenca (Ecuador) with them elaborate landslide maps (LSM) by means ML. The implemented analyze importance factors checked for...

In most countries, landslides have caused severe socioeconomic impacts on people, cities, industrial establishments, and lifelines, such as highways, railways, communication network systems. Socioeconomic losses due to slope failures are very high they been growing the built environment expands into unstable hillside areas under pressures of populations. Human activities construction buildings, transportation routes, dams, artificial canals often a major factor for increasing damage...

Landslides are hazardous events that occur mainly in mountainous areas and cause substantial losses of various kinds worldwide; therefore, it is important to investigate them. In this study, a specific Machine Learning (ML) method was further analyzed due the good results obtained previous stage research. The algorithm implemented Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), which used evaluate susceptibility landslides recorded city Cuenca (Ecuador) its surroundings, generating respective Landslide...

Underground mining can produce subsidence phenomena, especially if orebodies are surficial or occur in soft rocks. In some countries, illegal is a big problem for environmental, social and economic reasons. However, when unauthorized excavation conducted underground, it even more dangerous because unexpected collapses areas not adequately monitored. For this reason, important to find quick techniques able give information about the spatial temporal development of uncontrolled underground...

Abstract In recent decades, developing countries have experienced an increase in the impact of natural disasters due to ongoing climate change and sustained expansion urban areas. The intrinsic vulnerability settlements, poverty poor governance, as well lack tools for occupation planning mitigation protocols, has made such impacts particularly severe. Cuenca (Ecuador) is a significant example city that decades considerable population growth (i.e. exposure) associated loss landslide...

Meteorological information is important for decision making when related to natural phenomena, research in meteorology and climatology, etc. Considering that the cost of implementing monitoring stations can be high, studies have been carried out using low-cost equipment meteorological monitoring. However, unreliable because it does not follow a regulated standard rises uncertainty how accurate measurements are. This article implementation Bosch BME280 integrated environmental unit which...

Air pollutants affect both human health and the environment. For this reason, environmental managers urban planners focus their efforts in monitoring air pollution. In context, complete information is required to support decision-making process improve quality of life zones. Hence, it important extract knowledge not only on concentration levels but associations between pollutants. Based Cross-industry standard for data mining, paper presents an approach which leads identify correlations...

La contaminación del aire ambiente es una constante amenaza para la salud humana y el ambiente, requiriendo toma de decisiones respecto a prevención, control mitigación sus impactos. Para tal fin GAD Municipal cantón Cuenca, en particular Empresa Movilidad Transito Trasporte (EMOV-EP), dispone estación monitoreo continuo agentes contaminantes atmosféricos. Este sistema monitoreo, sin embargo, presenta limitaciones relacionadas con publicación información capturada, siendo actualmente...

Debido al progresivo crecimiento del parque automotor en la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador, se evidencian grandes congestiones por sobresaturación tráfico su centro histórico, el cual colapsa horas pico, trayendo como consecuencia elevados niveles ruido zona. Por esta razón, presente artículo tiene objeto modelar generado vehicular calle Mariscal Lamar, utilizando modelo predicción NMPB-Routes-96 y las distintas configuraciones que permite software especializado "Datakustik CadnaA", considerando...

Landslides can have significant effects on settlements and human life, especially when mobilized volumes are large runout velocity is high. In case of high- intensity events, landslide mitigation not always possible so that the best way to prevent disasters reduce exposed value in susceptible areas. Landslide risk assessment a fundamental tool for reducing loss induced by landslides, considering impact high-intensity landslides socio- economic development developing countries. Risk requires,...

To meet the need for a higher fidelity electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder, authors developed unit that is programmable various sampling rates and capable of storing vast amounts digital data without using data-distorting compression techniques. The Altair-DISC recorder has been use in an ambulatory clinical environment. Altair-DISC, which size conventional cassette utilizes magnetic hard disk drive storage. monitor's operation controlled by microprocessor crystal oscillator, when combined with...

In the last decades, developing countries have experienced an increase in impact of natural disasters due to both ongoing climate change and sustained expansion urban areas. Intrinsic vulnerability settlements poverty poor governance, as well lack tools for occupation planning mitigation protocols, made such particularly severe. Cuenca (Ecuador) is a significant example city that decades has considerable population growth associated increasing loss landslide occurrence. Despite effects,...
