At least nine inherited neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's, are caused by poly(L-glutamine) (polyGln, polyQ) expansions > 35-40 repeats in widely or ubiquitously expressed proteins. Except for their expansions, these proteins have no sequence homologies, and their functions mostly remain unknown. Although each disease is characterized by a distinct pathology specific to a subset...

A formula involving a diierence of the products of four q-binomial coeecients is shown to count pairs of nonintersecting lattice paths having a prescribed number of weighted turns. The weights are assigned to account for the location of the turns according to the major and lesser indices. The result, which is a q-analogue of a variant of the formula of Kreweras and Poupard, is proved bijectivel...

This paper presents two orthogonal axis models for simulation of three-phase induction motors having asymmetrical windings and inter-turn short circuits on the stator. The first model assumes that each stator phase winding has a different number of turns. To model shorted stator turns, the second model assumes phase as has two windings in series, representing the unaffected portion and the shor...

In consecutively interpreted conversations, long multi-unit turns pose an interactional problem, as the interpreter may need to intervene into turn space of current speaker interpret. This paper explores multimodal practices employed by medical professionals and interpreters manage temporary suspension extended turns-in-progress. Using data from video-interpreted hospital encounters, we show ho...
