Overview: This book is about a new surgical procedure, surgical hysteroscopy, for out-patients with a diagnostic approach and a surgical procedure..It is a "patient-friendly" procedure with a little surgical trHysteroscopy is now an essential part of contemporary gynecologic practice. This is true in both the office set­ ting as well as in the hospital operating room. Office hysteroscopy gives the practitioner the ability to obtain direct information of uterine pathology, with minimal discomfort, minimal risk and minimal cost to the pa­ tient. Furthermore, with modem small diameter instruments

Overview: Surgery an essentially manual exercise in its early days, has progressively grown richer in complementary techniques helping the surgeon to perfect his movements and increase efficiency. This is particularly the case with digestive surgery, which has been thoroughly transformed by radiology, endoscopy and extemporaneous examinations effected during surgical intervention. Such methods make it possible for surgeons to develop subtle nuances in operative techniques and to specify indi­ cations more and more precisely. Ultrasonography must now be included among such techniques. It supple

Overview: Investigates the susceptibility of intrinsic physically unclonable function (PUF) implementations to attacks from the chip backside.Demonstrates that the secrets generated by a PUF can be predicted, mThis book investigates the susceptibility of intrinsic physically unclonable function (PUF) implementations on reconfigurable hardware to optical semi-invasive attacks from the chip backside. It explores different classes of optical attacks, particularly photonic emission analysis, laser fault injection, and optical contactless probing. By applying these techniques, the book demonstrates

Overview: Philosophy, Aristotle is well known to have said, begins in wonder. So, of course, does everything else. Astronomy begins in wonder at the moving lights in the sky; biology, in wonder at the living creatures of the earth; psychology, in wonder at the intricacies and eccentricities of our distinctively human form of life. So, at best, wonder is only a necessary condition for philosophy. What. is peculiar about philosophers is what we are inclined to wonder about. We wonder about everything. In particular, we wonder about astron­ omy and biology and psychology (and about philosophy) -

Overview: This volume contains the talks presented at the International Symposium on Electronic Excitations and Interaction Processes in Organic Molecular Aggre­ gates which was held at Schloss Elmau, Bavaria, Germany from June 5 to June 10, 1983. In the recent years the investigation of organic materials has developed rapidly and has led to the construction of materials with interesting proper­ ties. The discovery of highly conducting and superconducting organic materials is definitely one of the reasons for the enormous increase in research acti­ vity in this field. Interesting applications
