Effect of Consideration in Euler Beam Theory
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to improve the results of Euler beam theory. Euler beam theory can be used to determine the deflection of beam. But in some cases cross-section of beam is not flat-ended, and Euler beam theory only consider the vertical loading, so the effect of curvature is occurred due to normal loading. The method to determine the curvature effect has been developed in this paper, and …

Study to Evaluate Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Hypertension and Its Management among Hypertensive Clients in Selected Hospitals of Amritsar
Abstract: Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases including stroke, coronary heart diseases, heart failure and kidney failure. Hypertension—the silent killer-remains asymptomatic until its damage effects are seen. It has been figured that almost one third of B.P.-related deaths occur from coronary heart disease. It is also estimated that a 3 mm Hg reduction in systolic B.P. could lead to an 80% reduction in stroke mortality and …
