The Singapore Hospice Council (SHC) "Adding Days to Life" Photo Exhibition is now on at NYP Atrium from 13 to 20 Nov 2006.

"Adding Days to Life" is a touring photographic exhibition that aims to debunk myths abouthospices and end of life issues by sharing inspiring, poignant and thought-provoking moments in the lives of patients, caregivers, nurses, volunteers and doctors.
The exhibition is part of the Singapore Hospice Council's public awareness campaignchampioned by the Lien Foundation. The images have been captured through the lens of noted local photographer, Kheng-Li Wee. Wee has exhibited extensively in the USA and Singapore, and his work is represented in private collections in both countries as well as in the permanent collections of the International Center of Photography, New York, and the European House of Photography, Paris, France.

Someone tried the frist one and says 141KPa. Its a good try but sorry to say that it is a wrong answer. The answer is 61KPa.
Procedure:
1. Converting 300mmHg to KPa we get ~40KPa (hope everyone is correct until here)
2. Now P(abs) = P(atm) + P(gage)
3. Hence P(abs) = 101KPa - 40KPa ........ the reason is clearly stated in the problem as vaccum pressure and hence it is a negative value.... understand 760mmHg is 1atm and anything below it is a vaccum pressure !!!

Okay.. had a sufficient warm. Now try this challenge.
Given a system as in the figure attached. Its a vessel filled with oil. Two pressure gages are attached to it. PG"A" is attached right at the bottom and another PG "B" is attached at an height of 12in from PG "A". The difference in pressure between the two gage ("A" and "B") is stated as 1psi. You are asked to calculate
a. The specific weight of the oil
2. Mass density of the oil

All the best

Hi,
Hope atleast by now some of you started to crack your nuts as you prepare for tomorrow's class test. All the best. Seems like no one interested in taking up my invitation for a revision session ! No problem i shall post few questions as a warmup for the test. Let me start with something really simple and easy to answer. KINDLY READ THE QUESTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ANSWERING
1. If a pressure gauge attached to a vessel reads 300mmHg vaccum. What is the absolute pressure in KPa?

I shall post few more shortly...i am expecting few of you to post the answers here

Hey guys!

I'm Shikin and I'm doing some marketing stuff on the internet. I assume all of you know that I am a barista at Coffee Bean Takashimaya. So with my experience, on my blog, I give advice on how to purchase good coffee machines to people around the world and promoting them.

I would be honored if you can give me your support! You can visit my site just for fun or link to me from your own blogs or tell other people about my blog. :) My link is located at the left side of this blog, or u can just click here: http://baristacoffeemachines.wordpress.com

Really appreciate it.

Cheers.

Those people who are taking OE now must take a form to sign if they still want to continue with OE2 the next semester. Otherwise they will be sent for attachment. After you signed that form, it means that you will taking program 6 next semester regardless of whether you are taking OE2 or not. You will be separated from the rest of the class.

The updated timetable is already out. Go check it out.

Please be reminded that the group presentation is confirmed as follows:
Group 4: Qn8
Group 5: Qn9
Group 6: Qn10

The above has been confirmed with Ms Adeline Ler and Mr Song.

Thanks everyone for the valuable PEM meeting Feedback and Special thanks to LEE NING for consolidating the details.

http://pemweb.segm.nyp.edu.sg/root/index.aspx for PEM webportal that i discussed yesterday
Info: The username is "Admin no" and the password is by default "password". It updates the student details from SIMS and is not yet ready. So probably you may not see your details in the web page, when u login. It would be ready only the following semester. So i kindly urge you all to update your personal details in the SIMS aswell. As of now, we shall use it for sharing files. I would later select Lee Ning as the rep in the web portal also.

Kindly take your NAPFA test on 2 Nov 06 (Thu), 5 or 6 pm
