Bacteria and other prokaryotes are found deep underground, in water, and in the air. One micron (10-6 m) is a typical length scale associated with these microbes.
(a) Estimate the total number of bacteria and other prokaryotes in the biosphere of the Earth. (Assume the bacteria are found to a depth d = 1000 m below Earth's surface, and that there are an average of 100 bacteria in every 1 mm3 of volume.)
(b) Estimate the total mass of all such microbes. (Assuming a bacterium is basically composed of water.)

Question 6 It is required to construct a 4 m deep underground carpark in the heart of the city of Melbourne without disturbing the surrounding area. The required excavation for the proposed carpark and also the adjacent ground condition are shown in Figure 6.1. As can be seen from the figure, the adjacent ground consists of a 2 m deep clay deposit, resting on a 2 m thick sand deposit, where stable soil could be found below the sand deposit...

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...
