Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the elastic properties of normal breast tissues, using an indentation protocol to measure stiffness. It highlights the importance of understanding these properties for diagnostic and treatment purposes, particularly in the context of breast cancer. The study investigates the influence of preconditioning on tissue stiffness, finding that additional cycles can increase stiffness, especially at low strains. The results are consistent with existing literature but emphasize the need for standardized experimental protocols to reduce variability. Histological analysis supports the assumption of breast tissue homogeneity under large strains. The chapter concludes with recommendations for future research to improve the understanding of breast tissue mechanics and enhance diagnostic and treatment methods.
