Reporters Notebook

A little something about my report on Engineering Materials.Putcha eto lang ang report namin nina Dante. This is the characteristics of a biomaterial for it not to cause side effects on the body.

Biocompatibility
The human body has an extraordinary ability to be able to tell whether an object is foreign or not. This is part of the bodies protection against invasion from an outside organism. If a substance is placed in the body and the body can tell it is foreign, then an immune system response will be generated. When an object is incorporated into the body without any immune responses it is said to be BIOCOMPATIBLE. In order for a device to be biocompatible, it must follow a very stringent set of demands from the body.
Physical requirements
The device must be very strong so it does not break inside the body. Depending on the circumstances, it may need to be either very hard or very flexible. Anything placed into the body must be able to take a constant physical beating from one's body. For instance, the valves in a heart open and close about 70 - 80 times a minute. Over the course of years and years this adds up to millions of pumps. If the artificial valve cannot meet these standards and fails, the person will die.
Chemical requirements
Before any foreign biomaterial can be placed in the body it must be first approved for medical use (MEDICAL GRADE). A biomaterial must have certain characteristics to insure the individuals safety.
1. It must not react with any tissue in the body
2. It must be non-toxic to the body
3. Long-term replacements must not be biodegradable
This can be very tricky because most of the commercially made polymeric materials contains small traces of many chemicals such as fillers, antioxidants and unreacted monomers. Although they may normally be harmless, when placed inside the body, they can cause a serious threat.

2B is all i got to be

Engineering 2B at Meralco

Sa wakas ay nailagay na rin kahit konting pics namin nung plant visit dahil 10 years narin ang nakalipas ng nangyari ung palnt visit namin. Noong Feb 7 pa ung plant visit feb 24 na ng napost ko dito. Hehe wala lang talaga akong magawa ngaun. Tulad ng nakikita nyo sa pic masaya naman ung plant visit parang wowowee. Marami pa kaming pictures doon sa Meralco kaya lang di pa nailalagay at tinatamad pa siguro si dan. Oi dan lagay mo na lahat un. Sa Meralco at Star city lang kami ng punta corny nga eh. pero ala naman kayong pake di ba. Wala lang talaga akong magawa at para madagdagan ang laman nitong blog ko. Special thanks to Kavin Lin for the pics.

Ready for the Big League.

Tutal ala akong malagay dito sa aking napakalupit na blog at malapit na mg march 5 at mag-opening na uli ang pba ng All-Filipino conference. Ngaung kasama na uli ni Rich Alvarez ang apat na Blue Eagles sa Red Bull isa na lang and katanungang kailangan ng kasagutan."Makakalaro na ba si Arwind Santos at si Alex Compton sa PBA?" yan ang tanong na gusto kong masagot. Dalawang superstar ito sa PBL, Alex Compton being a full blooded foreigner has not been allowed to play in the big league because of his race but i think he has a filipino heart at dapat talaga syang makalaro sa PBA kasi magaling sya mg tagalog di katulad ni Jeffrey Cariaso ilang taon na sa PBA eh di pa marunong mag tagalog and on Arwind which i think is the amateur player in the country i think its about time already get the rings both in UAAP and PBL now its time to prove it in "D" league. Dont waste anytime dont let your former rivals get ahead like Larry Fonacier and Macmac Cardona. Pero lam ko eh nakapag-sign na sya ng contract sa San Miguel sana maka laro na si idol Arwind.

The King James Version

Kakatapos lang ng 2006 NBA all-star sa houston. Ngaung taon nga lang ay maraming kontrobesya tulad ng sa 3point competition dapat di counted ung last money ball ni Dirk Nowitzki nkapasok pa tuloy sya sa finals at nanalo pa. Sa slamdunk competition nman eh naawa lang sila kay Nate Robinson kaya sya nanalo. Pero ung all-star game ang talaga ang masaya dito.Talagang si Tracy McGrady ang gustong mging MVP ng West to the delight of the host town Houston pero kahit lamang na sila ng higit 20 points ay naibalik ng depensa ng East spearheaded by 4 Detroit Pistons. Kaya nakahabol ang East at si Lebron James became the youngest MVP of the all-star game with 29 points, 6 rebounds. He also became MVP because he didnt pass.
