Proteases and Their Receptors in InflammationProteases are everywhere from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, from virus to bacteria and in all human tissues, playing a role in many biological functions. Among these functions, the inflammatory reaction is of particular interest. In inflamed tissues, proteases can have a microbial and/or host origin and are involved not only in tissue remodeling, but also in specific signaling to resident or inflammatory cells, thereby contributing to the innate immune response.

Structures for Nuclear FacilitiesAnalysis, Design and Construction

This book provides a general introduction to the topic of buildings for resistance to the effects of abnormal loadings. The structural design require-ments for nuclear facilities are very unique. In no other structural system are extreme loads such as tornadoes, missile and loud interaction, earthquake effects typical in excess of any recorded historical data at a site, and postulated system accident at very low probability range explicitly, considered in design. It covers the whole spectrum of extreme load which has to be considered in the structural design of nuclear facilities and reactor buildings, the safety criteria, the structural design, the analysis of containment. Test case studies are given in a comprehensive treatment.

The Science of AstrobiologyA Personal View on Learning to Read the Book of Life

Since the publication of The New Science of Astro-biology in the year 2001 two significant events have taken place raising the subject from the begin-ning of the present century to its present maturity. Firstly, in 2001 the Galileo Mission still had two years to complete its task, which turned out to be an outstanding survey of the Jovian system, espe-cially of its intriguing satellite Europa. Secondly, the Cassini Huygens Mission was still on its way to Saturn.
