K-loops have their origin in the theory of sharply 2-transitive groups. In this paper a proof is given that K-loops and Bruck loops are the same. For the proof it is necessary to show that in a (left) Bruck loop the left inner mappings L(b)L(a)L(ab)−" are automorphisms. This paper generalizes results of Glauberman[3], Kist[8] and Kreuzer[9].

We report a series of 38 patients with intra-uterine devices with lost strings where hysteroscopic aid was required after routine retrieval procedures failed. Thirty-five intra-uterine devices could be removed easily with hysteroscope. In one patient a fragmented Lippes Loop was removed piecemeal hysteroscopically. Laparotomy was required in only one patient, for an extra-uterine Copper T. Hyst...

I give a physical discussion of the influence of particle number fluctuations on the high energy evolution in QCD. I emphasize the event–by–event description and the correspondence with the problem of ‘fluctuating pulled fronts’ in statistical physics. I show that the correlations generated by fluctuations reduce the phase–space for BFKL evolution up to saturation. Because of that, the evolutio...
