Few studies have examined whether factors predicting obligatory exercise differ by gender. 303 participants completed the Obligatory Exercise Questionnaire and the Reason for Exercise Inventory. All variables correlated significantly. However, the correlation between exercising for fitness and obligatory exercise was significantly stronger in women than men. In women, obligatory exercise was pr...

Protein-protein interfaces have been evolutionarily-designed to enable transduction between the interacting proteins. Thus, we hypothesize that analysis of the dynamics of the complex can reveal details about the nature of the interaction, and in particular whether it is obligatory, i.e., persists throughout the entire lifetime of the proteins, or not. Indeed, normal mode analysis, using the Ga...

We discuss the use of question-answer pattern for relativization across signed languages, with special attention Catalan Sign Language. These are cases in which grammatical features interrogative construction used genuine information-seeking questions also appear as most unmarked, frequent, or only linguistic means expressing restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses, well appositives. T...
