Been limping for 2 days becos of a leg cramp already . anyone knows how to alleviate it ?

It's good that people applied knowledge is useful , here r some of the info i got out from http://www.nus.edu.sg/corporate/research/gallery/rschlist.htm
Heat in the city (MY FAC!!)
The researchers placed simulated buildings within the parks and also at certain distances away. Computerised tabulated findings revealed that a building located 100m from the park would generate 9% savings in energy required to bring temperature down as compared to one which is 400m away. For buildings within the parks, energy consumption is cut down by up to 10%.The team is also working with Jurong Town Corporation to look at how by appropriately introducing vegetation in industrial estates can help lower temperature. "Using the wind tunnel at our department, we experimented with models of buildings to see how for example, tower blocks can help in creating air movement. We also studied the optimal gap between buildings as well as the height. Wind is a complex phenomenon," said Associate Professor Wong.The study, in collaboration with the Building and Construction Authority and Centre for Total Building Performance (NUS) was started in 2001 and completed in 2004. "For the study, we first needed an overall island temperature profile," said Associate Professor Wong. "So we worked with the NUS Centre for Remote Imaging, Sensing and Processing (CRISP) to obtain satellite images of Singapore for a temperature profile. From the images, we found that the western side of Singapore around the industrial area of Tuas has the highest ambient temperature, of around 33.6 degrees Centigrade. The Central Business District also has quite high temperature, as well as Changi Airport. The lowest temperature is along the north-western part of Singapore near Tengah and the central water catchment area."
Antitumour chemotherapeutic agents fromthe soil of Pulau Ubin
We heard of meliodosis -- caused by bacteria in the soil which enters the body through cuts or wounds – a disease which could be deadly. But the soil also yields "healing" bacteria.
One gramme of soil was mixed with three millilitres of sterile water and shaken gently for three minutes. Small quantity of this mixture was inoculated onto a thin layer of agar in a Petri dish. The culture was left to grow for four days at 28 degrees Centigrade."When we found that the actinomycetes were actually working to inhibit the growth of the Bacillus, we know we were on the right track," said Associate Professor Nga.
Protein which shrinks tumour
C/EBPa knock-in mouse and developing a pig model
Recently, Dr Wang and team did a study on "knock-in" mice – this time, the protein was introduced into the mice models. A liver specific cancer-causing agent was also introduced. The number and size of tumours were significantly smaller compared to a control group of mice subjected to the same cancer-causing agent.A patient can be hooked to a bioartificial liver (BAL) while waiting for a liver transplant or for his liver to recover. Using C/EBPa-enriched pig liver cells in the BAL device could reduce the risk of patients being exposed to tumour-promoting substances during treatment.

i'm sorry . I nearly lost u . U have been there when my brain refuse to work . i plastered u when u needed it . I cherish every angle of u , every function. Thanks for getting the A's for me . I really appreciate it. And although u've been beaten up very badly , i promise not to lose u again and not to damage u . U have been with me for 8 yrs . Thank u for staying through my downs. I thank u - my Sharp EL-509L scientific calculator .
My deepest condolences to Cherish, I really feel for u cos i lost a loved one b4 . Stay healthy.
Got through my BU structures test after studying til 10pm last minute =p
Still left with a lot of projects .Working on it .
Missing Libing. Wished she was here to run with me .
Thanks to my Darling who was there for me when I was emotionally drained. =)
