Its hard enough just predicting what those tensions in fact may be, every algorithm out there suggests a slightly different tension. But, temperature would very likely have an effect on the rate of off-gassing. It would seem reasonable to assume that warmer = faster, and colder = slower. Certainly an increase in perfusion "should" result in a faster gas transport taking palce throughout the system. The only thing we need is a large grant, and we could work out one hell of a series of deco studies on this and many other interesting, and as yet untested, deco theories. Any idea of who might be willing to put up 50K for a good research project???? <G> /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Christopher M.
