Abstract
The development of reliable wireless networks is crucial for advancing sustainability. Not only does it facilitate remote work and telecommunication which are critical remote services such as telemedicine and distance education, they are also essential in supporting sustainable practices like the application of IoT in monitoring environmental conditions and energy usage. To ensure that these networks work optimally, it is essential that the datasets used in their development are not only accurate but are also distinct. This study contributes to this end by analyzing the datasets generated by the COST 2100, a model that is used extensively in wireless communications. Using ANOVA, the researchers determined if the dataset are indeed distinct as signals bounce about multiple clustering which use Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) Technology similar to modern wireless systems like 5G. Results show that the different variables or dimensions are distinct from each other. Thus, the datasets generated by COST2100 are suitable to be utilized in further preprocessing methods of wireless multipath clustering, ultimately contributing to building a more sustainable wireless communication system.

Abstract
Riverbank slope failures are a major concern in many regions of the Philippines, particularly in low-lying areas and near major rivers, where recurrent flooding and soil erosion can cause significant infrastructure damage. Accurate assessment of slope stability is crucial for mitigating these risks, and various methods are available to calculate the Factor of Safety (FOS) for slopes. This study compares the FOS values for riverbank slope stability using five common methods of slices: the Morgenstern-Price, Janbu, Bishop, Ordinary, and Spencer methods. There are three hundred seventy-five (375) simulations that were used in the slope stability analysis from the six (6) riverbank slopes and 15 different soil properties. A statistical analysis (ANOVA) revealed no significant differences in FOS values among the methods, indicating that all are reliable for assessing the stability of riverbank slopes. However, the methods demonstrated varying sensitivities to changes in soil properties and slope angles, underscoring the importance of considering their specific assumptions and limitations in practical applications. Further research is recommended to examine the effects of fluctuating water levels, seismic activity, and other environmental factors on slope stability, as well as to explore the integration of advanced numerical methods, such as finite element analysis, for deeper insights into slope failure mechanisms.
