"The size of spherical aerobic bacteria is limited by the rate at which oxygen diffuses through water. A bacterium with a radius greater than roughly 10 micrometers is not able to obtain enough oxygen from the surrounding water to sustain itself. Given that the diffusion constant of oxygen in water is 8 �10^-10 m^2s^-1, how long does it take oxygen in water to diffuse an RMS distance of 10 micrometers?

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
What are the instruments that have been utilized for the review article discussions? ` 1. Introduction In recent years, nanoclays have been the object of particular interest for many scientists and researchers in chemistry, physics, engineering and biology due to their excellent properties as well as their sustain- ability [1-3]. For instance, they represent the starting point to the de velopment of smart materials for drug delivery (4-9), food packaging [10-12), environmental remediation and wastewater treatment [13], cultural heritage [14–17and...
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...
