ECA Computer

2009-05-10T05:15:00.000+08:00

I regret to inform you that the ECA computer in the student lounge has been abused by students. I would like to remind everyone that the ECA Computer is for ECA purposes only.

Also, on May 5th the computer was not switched off and thus was running overnight. This is detrimental to the CPU.

The computer will soon be password locked and students will need to get the council members to open it as the computers are the under the charge of SSD and thus SRC needs to keep an account of the usage.

Your cooperation in this matter is much appreciated.

Safety Issue

2009-05-10T05:00:00.001+08:00

A number of equipment and facilities provided has been damaged in the past two weeks i.e. the piano stand in LT2, gym equipments as well as the glass of the Hall of Fame cupboard in the Student Lounge.

Miss Aznah from the Students Service Department would like to remind the students to handle the equipment with care as it is costly to keep fixing such items. Kindly handle these equipment in consideration of the next user.

On top of that, students are to inform the SRC immediately if they have discovered any damaged equipment. This is so that we can fix it as soon as possible and remove any dangerous items around that could bring harm to the students.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS THIS and guess what? Lunch is provided :)

Important Issues

2009-04-21T02:30:00.001+08:00

1. FOOD AND/OR DRINKS are STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED in the Student Lounge (except for plain water). There is an allocated area in the SRC Office for the students to eat. You can always eat in the cafeteria as it is just beside the Student Lounge and is highly convenient. This is to ensure that a clean and comfortable environment is maintained in the Student Lounge.

2. Please SWITCH OFF the air-conditioning and television WHEN NOT IN USE. The Facilities and Management Department is very particular about this issue as it is a great wastage of electricity. Apart from that, the air-conditioning would leak from prolonged use. This could be dangerous especially in the gym as there could be a short-circuit of the equipment there.

It is highly important to follow these simple rules as the Student Lounge is a privilege provided to us. Should we fail to observe these rules, it would be difficult for the SRC to negotiate for further improvements and benefits for the students in the future. The cooperation of every student in this issue is vital.

The joining fee for the competition will be 5RM per person, though members of the club are entitled to a 2RM discount to reduce the price to 3RM.

We will be setting up a table in the atrium from the 20th of April to the 24th of April for anyone interested in the competition, where we can answer any questions, and sign up anyone who is interested in joining this highly lucrative competition.

Attention!!

2009-04-15T14:16:00.001+08:00

All it Takes is 60 Minutes (Wee Kiat)

2009-03-27T21:17:00.000+08:00

Well, since I'm so free after my Hustings, here's something for all of you to consider doing tomorrow:

The whole world has been talking about it.

You've seen it all over the place; television ads, billboards, email forwards, blogs, facebook. What is it you ask?

Date: 28 March 2009
Day: Saturday
Time: 8.30-9.30pm

Global climate change is a problem that has been worsening over the past decades. Glaciers have been melting all over the Arctic and Antarctic region, affecting the lives of many Arctic animals such as penguins and polar bears. The sea level has continuously risen, and Malaysia just seems to be getting hotter every year!

In 31 March 2007, in an effort to fight global warming, Sydney made a powerful statement. By turning off its lights. What began as an effort by a single city, has caught the attention of the entire world. In 2008, a total of 35 countries and over 370 cities joined in the event, and now on the 28th of March 2009, you can lend a helping hand to make this Earth Hour even BIGGER. Be part of the 1 billion people in the fight against global warming, just by SWITCHING OFF YOUR LIGHTS for 60 minutes from 8.30 to 9.30 pm.

The whole world's switching off their lights.

What about you?
Turn the lights off and see the world in a new light.

The Smallest Bacteria

2008-11-15T21:14:00.000+08:00

http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2001-09/1001464156.Gb.r.html (2001)

Most bacteriology textbooks say Mycoplasma genitalium is the smallest known organism capable of independent growth and reproduction. Its size is given as 0.2 to 0.3 µm (micrometers). An average bacterium, like E. coli, is about 1 µm by 3 µm (it has a rod shape). A red blood cell is 8 µm in diameter and the average human cell is about 25 µm across.

Although mycoplasma can live in complex media in the laboratory, in nature they are always found living parasitically, attached to other cells. Since they take preformed nutrients from other cells, they have streamlined their metabolism and only have about 470 genes to use to make all the proteins needed for cell division, energy production, and protein synthesis, etc. These are the simplest cells found so far.

In 1990, Bob Folk at UT, using an electron microscope, observed 0.05 µm (50 nanometers) "nanobacteria" in rocks from hot springs. Nanobacteria were later found in blood, kidney stones, and in meteorites that came from Mars. Of course, this created quite a stir. But other researchers have not been able to find DNA or protein in nanobacteria, and it may be that the objects seen in the electron microscope are mineral microcrystals. Because of this, many experts doubt the existence of nanobacteria. But, supporters continue looking for evidence that nanobacteria are living.

A theoretical discussion of what could be the smallest bacterium possible gives a diameter of 0.17 µm. This figure also precludes the possibility of nanobacteria.

~Since nanobacteria can't be proven its existence yet, i guess Mycoplasma's d smallest bacteria at d moment.. :P~

Biggest Known Bacteria

2008-11-15T08:02:00.000+08:00

Thiomargarita namibiensis

Thiomargarita namibiensis is a very unique bacteria because not only does it live where most bacteria can not survive it is the largest bacteria ever found. It took the record of the largest bacteria from Epulopiscium fishelsoni by being one hundred times larger. These prokaryotic, spherical bacteria are about 0.75 millimeters in diameter, which allows it to be visible by the naked eye. It is generally found in chains of ten or more. It is also very easy to notice because it shines like a pearl. The pearl color gives it the name “Sulfur Pearl of Namibia”. The rest of its name comes from the fact that it eats sulfur and that it was found off of the coast of Namibia. The analogy is this:

1. Any normal bacterium is likened to a new-born mouse

2. The previous largest bacteria, Epulopiscium fishelsoni, is likened to a lion

3. The newly found Thiomargarita is likened to a BLUE WHALE!! (wow!)

Guyz, check out http://web.mst.edu/~microbio/BIO221_2005/T_namibiensis.htm or http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc99/4_17_99/fob5.htm if you wan more details.. :) i'm still trying to figure out which is the smallest bacteria.. there are studies suggesting nanobacteria but then there are also people refuting it..
