Tigri e Teoremi : Scrivere teatro e scienza = Tigers and Theorems : Writing theater and science
From science according to Popper and Toulmin to theater according to Morteo and Brecht, a path is built between the two disciplines that leads to an original intertwining between the two fields: the emotion that a theatrical performance provokes in us can be compared to the pleasure that a theorem proved flawlessly. The purpose of the book is to teach how to write "Theater and Science". Seeing the curtain open in front of one's own scientific play, written with rigor after having researched and analyzed and compared the sources. The secret of this writing lies in two directives that work well both in science and in theater: e.

Thyroid Cancer
One of the main reasons for publishing this second edition of “T- roid Cancer” is the fact that the first edition has sold out. Furth- more, during the 4 years following the publication of the first edition in 2001, some progress, mainly in the basic sciences (molecular biology), has been made. The most prominent change in the clinical sciences has been the new classification of thyroid cancer, especially with relation to T1–T3 tumors. Now, tumors with a diameter of up to 2 cm are still classified T1. This new UICC classification (6th edition) follows the classification of the American Society of Pathology. These changes require a modification of the old guidelines. According to the Hedinger classification (1988) tumors with a diameter below 1 cm were classified as “papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid”.
Thymus Gland Pathology : Clinical, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Features
The thymic pathology is related to several complex congenital, non-oncological, and oncological diseases. Many of these illnesses require a multidisciplinary approach thus involving several specialists: the surgeon, the neurologist, the anesthetist, and the pathologist. For example, myasthenia gravis—the most challenging disease deriving from a thymic trouble—requires an accurate and multimodal treatment. The oncologic pathology of the thymus is likewise complex, and involves also the oncologist and the radiotherapist. In cases of congenital thymic diseases, a transplantation of the thymus can be taken into consideration.
Three-Phase Diode Rectifiers with Low Harmonics : Current Injection Methods
In this book, principles of the current injection are discussed first. This discussion is followed by an analysis of various magnetic current injection devices. The third harmonic current injection is discussed next, and several current injection networks are analyzed. The optimal current injection is the topic that follows, and the requirements imposed to the current injection network in order to provide the optimal current injection are derived. Several current injection networks that provide the optimal current injection are proposed, and some parasitic effects are discussed. Recovery of the power taken by the current injection networks is analyzed, and two types of passive resistance emulators are analyzed in detail, the current-loaded resistance emulator, and the voltage-loaded resistance emulator. Avoiding the inductor of the current injection network results in mutipulse operation of the current injection based rectifiers with passive resistance emulators, which is discussed next.
Three-Dimensional Television : Capture, Transmission, Display
3DTV require the integration of a diversity of key technologies from computing to graphics, imaging to display, and signal processing to communications.

Both autostereoscopic techniques which eliminate the need for special glasses and allow viewer movement, and holographic approaches which have the potential to provide the truest three-dimensional images, are covered. Some chapters discuss current research trends in 3DTV technology, while others address underlying topics.
