The Power of Neem

Neem’s antiseptic properties are widely recognized now. "Neem preparations are reportedly efficacious against a variety of skin diseases, septic sores, and infected burns. The leaves, applied in the form of poultices or decoctions, are also recommended for boils, ulcers, and eczema. The oil is used for skin diseases such as scrofula, indolent ulcers and ringworm.
Cures for many diseases have been reported but these need to be confirmed independently by trials under controlled conditions. Laboratory tests have shown that neem is effective against certain fungi that infect the human body. Some important fungi against which neem preparations have been found to be effective are: athlete’s foot fungus that infects hair, skin and nails; a ringworm that invades both skin and nails of the feet; a fungus of the intestinal tract; a fungus that causes infections of the bronchi, lungs, and mucous membranes and a fungus that is part of the normal mucous flora that can get out of control leading to lesions in mouth (thrush), vagina, skin, hands and lungs.

My Final Year Projects

These are some of my FYP Projects. For all you non-engineers out there, ain't you glad you're not studying engineering?!?! For the engineers, how damn interesting rite!


Development of a remote virtual CNC machining system
The technology of Virtual Reality (VR) has become a popular user interface tool due to the
advancement in computer technologies. The Internet technology has also broken the boundary
of time and space underlying the distributed information framework. An integrated Web-based
VR CNC system has been reported recently. The system can be used to activate the remote
CNC machines for NC code generation and machining. In collaborating with the overseas
partner, you will further verify the system for its feasibility and develop an interface locally to
work with the remote partners geographically dispersed.

Study of a biomimetic for micro gripping
Micro grippers are used to hold micro components during various manufacturing operations.
Such grippers must have the capability to provide sub-micron position resolution. When dealing
with such level of precision, careful design is required to make sure that the outputs of the
mechanism meet the design requirements such as high holding strength in a very small area.
This study continues an earlier project to investigate the characteristics of Gecko feet which
have very high strength to hold the weight of the Gecko while climbing smooth vertical surfaces.
An attempt will be made to design and fabricate a simple new class of biologically inspired
micro gripper mimicking creatures like Gecko, which can be used to hold very small
workpieces.

Micro EDM of tungsten carbide
Tungsten carbide moulds are preferred over currently used steel moulds for direct fabrication of
glass micro lenses. Such moulds are either machined by grinding or by electro discharge
machining (EDM) processes. In this study, EDM process will be applied to achieve nano
surface finish on such moulds.

Loose & Cruising

Computer Building 101

Heyo ding.

for the motherboard, i suggest either asus or msi.

the cpu/processor is really quite up to you. but i suggest going with the AMD. it's cheaper. and you don't really need dual processing unless you're seriously into multi-tasking.

you'll need ram, and i suggest 1gb and above. think it's rather cheap now anyway.

for graphics, that really depends... if you want to play games or not..... duh. the 2 main brands are ati or nvidia. they claim ati graphics looks better then nvidia... they look the same to me really. how much it'll set you back... depends on your budget really.

soundcard.. actually, onboard is okay. if you want, you can get a seperate card, what is does it's that it actually offloads some of the CPU usage. as when you use the onboard sound processor, it utilizes your CPU processor to help it process the sound signals. Anyway, since you mentioned that you wanted one, yah. go with creative.

you'll need speakers. if your pair is dead. don't get a super set of speakers unless you have a good soundcard to go with it.

you'll need a casing. floppy disk(which is used sometimes still, but rarely). keyboard, mouse.

DVD burners are rather cheap now. good investment. but been hearing that the dvds get mouldy quite fast in our weather.

You can re-use the hard disk, no problem with that.

for the firewire and usb, it'll come along with the motherboard. the bluetooth, i'm not too sure if they have integrated it with the motherboards yet, but i don't think so. you need to buy a seperate bit for that. you can buy one that's the size of the thumbdrive and plugs right into your usb port. get the version 2.0 of the bluetooth. not the older standard.

multislot card thingy, i think some motherboards bundle them together. and some casings have the thingy in front that allow you to do that. or you could buy the usb bit and plug it in.

the monitor is up to you. if apple is too expensive, go with either samsung/philips/viewsonic. i suggest you go down and see which monitor you like.

all in all, you'll need to have a budget 1st.

Need Help!

Hey man.. Finally giving some though into making a new computer..
(making as in getting it from simlim.. not taking a piece of wood.. sanding it, then put lacuer, then sanding it again,etcetc)

So I need help from the masters (KD) and their Sidekicks(JC and OM). What exactly do i need to make a computer?

I know that I need a
Motherboard (Brand?)
HDD (I got the 120GB one from tis computer)
Processor(Brand?)
Soundcard(I want a good one, so… creative?)
Graphics Card(Brand? How much will this set me back?)
DVD/RWFirewire/USB/Multicard Slots
Bluetooth
Apple huge ass Flat screen Monitor
What else is there?

Damn Cock!
