The "bends" is a potentially fatal condition which can occur when deep ocean divers ascend to the water surface too quickly. The painful condition is caused by nitrogen bubbles coming out of the blood and tearing apart nearby tissues. Explain why this can occur using a mathematical justification.

Decompression sickness, also known as “the bends”, occurs when the human body goes from a region of high pressure to low pressure too quickly, releasing dissolved gases (mostly nitrogen) from the bloodstream as bubbles inside the body, similarly to opening a can or bottle of pop. Examples of when the bends can occur when ascending too quickly from a scuba dive or leaving a hyperbaric chamber back to atmospheric pressure. Symptoms are varied, but may include neurological damage, joint and...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
