SUPPORTING A BEAM
A beam supported by two columns will carry the greatest even distribution load if each column is positioned 22 percent of the length of the beam away from each end. The columns are then separated by 56 percent of the length of the beam. These figures also apply to two people carrying a flexible pipe.

INVESTIGATING KIDNEY FAILURE
If the ratio of BUN (blood urea nitrogen) to serum creatinine is greater than 25, the cause of kidney failure is probably pre-renal (i.e., dehydration). If the ratio is less than 20, the cause is probably intrinsic renal disease. Ratios between 20 and 25 are ambiguous.
