Treats certain problems and methods of theoretical physics and
astrophysics which are associated with microscopic and macroscopic
electrodynamics and material concerning the theory of transition
radiation and transition scattering.
This book is intended as a supplementary text to the standard
course books on theoretical physics and astrophysics, addressing
applications and selected problems in theoretical physics and
astrophysics, most of which are to a greater or lesser extent
associated with electrodynamics.
Serpins (serine protease inhibitors) are a superfamily of proteins
whose physiologi- cal action is primarily targeted to inhibiting
serine proteases. There are instances where serpins are not
inhibitors (and can carry steroid hormones for instance), yet key
structural and functional elements found in all serpins are
maintained in these 'non-inhibitor' ser- pins. Many serpins have
well-described biological properties which influence pathophysi-
ological events, including: antithrombin (historically called
antithrombin III), ai-protease inhibitor (historically called
ai-antitrypsin), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-I, just to
mention a few. A deficiency or defect in antithrombin leads to
venous thromboembolic disease, while a deficiency or defect in
ai-protease inhibitor is associated with chronic obstructive
pulmonary emphysema. In contrast, it has been suggested that
increased levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-l may be a
predisposition to myocardial infarction. The list goes on for each
of our own "favorite" serpin. The biological roles found for
serpins are key participants in almost every physiological event.
In other words, serine proteases are needed for many events in
biology and the role of serpins to down regulate these pro- teases
is essential. Thus, just using these three examples above for
serpins and their patho- physiological roles reminds us that the
medical costs to control such events is significant worldwide.
