Since Friedell’s experiment, other parabiotic experiments have been useful in researching many types of cancer. Chronic diseases of age have been saluted as prime candidates for parabiotic research because of the potential to conjoin an older animal with a younger animal. This process could be used to research cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease. As animals age, their oligodendrocytes reduce in efficiency, resulting in decreased myelination, causing negative effects on the central nervous system (CNS). Julia Ruckh and fellow

In the experiment, the two mice were conjoined and demyelination was induced via injection into the older mice. The experiment determined that factors from the younger mice reversed CNS demyelination in older mice by revitalizing the oligodendrocytes. The monocytes from the younger mice also enhanced the ability of the older mice to clear myelin debris because the young monocytes can clear lipids from myelin sheaths more effectively than older monocytes.

title: "Minimalist grammar" content: Minimalist grammar Minimalist grammars are a class of formal grammars that aim to provide a more rigorous, usually proof-theoretic, formalization of Chomskyan Minimalist program than is normally provided in the mainstream Minimalist literature. A variety of particular formalizations exist, most of them developed by Edward Stabler, Alain Lecomte, Christian Retoré, or combinations thereof. Lecomte and Retoré (2001) introduce a formalism that modifies that core of the Lambek Calculus to allow for movement-like processes to be described without resort to the combinatorics of Combinatory categorial grammar. The formalism is presented in proof-theoretic terms. Differing only slightly in notation from Lecomte and


title: "Minimalist grammar" content: Retoré (2001), we can define a minimalist grammar as a 3-tuple formula_1, where formula_2 is a set of "categorial" features, formula_3 is a set of "functional" features (which come in two flavors, "weak", denoted simply formula_4, and "strong", denoted formula_5), and formula_6 is a set of lexical atoms, denoted as pairs formula_7, where formula_8 is some phonological/orthographic content, and formula_9 is a syntactic type defined recursively as follows: We can now define 6 inference rules: The first rule merely makes it possible to use lexical items with no extra assumptions. The second rule is just a means of introducing assumptions


title: "Minimalist grammar" content: into the derivation. The third and fourth rules just perform directional feature checking, combining the assumptions required to build the subparts that are being combined. The entropy rule presumably allows the ordered sequents to be broken up into unordered sequents. And finally, the last rule implements "movement" by means of assumption elimination. The last rule can be given a number of different interpretations in order to fully mimic movement of the normal sort found in the Minimalist Program. The account given by Lecomte and Retoré (2001) is that if one of the product types is a strong functional feature, then


title: "Minimalist grammar" content: the phonological/orthographic content associated with that type on the right is substituted with the content of the "a", and the other is substituted with the empty string; whereas if neither is strong, then the phonological/orthographic content is substituted for the category feature, and the empty string is substituted for the weak functional feature. That is, we can rephrase the rule as two sub-rules as follows: Another alternative would be to construct pairs in the "/E" and "\E" steps, and use the formula_29 rule as given, substituting the phonological/orthographic content "a" into the highest of the substitution positions, and the empty


title: "Minimalist grammar" content: string in the rest of the positions. This would be more in line with the Minimalist Program, given that multiple movements of an item are possible, where only the highest position is "spelled out". As a simple example of this system, we can show how to generate the sentence "who did John see" with the following toy grammar: Let formula_30, where "L" contains the following words: The proof for the sentence "who did John see" is therefore: Minimalist grammar Minimalist grammars are a class of formal grammars that aim to provide a more rigorous, usually proof-theoretic, formalization of Chomskyan Minimalist

At the time, his spokesman said that their role would be "to act as regional champions within government, and to represent the government in parliamentary debates and other forums on regional issues."

Establishing regional

The report argued that "...the appointment of a series of Ministerial portfolio holders to represent and act for Government as policy leaders in each of the English regional might provide a greater degree of focus for regional policy, encourage a more integrated approach across Whitehall, and offer superior opportunities for scrutiny and cross-examination of regional decisions in Parliament."
