Verbs and Predicates in Ancient Greece

2019

The author starts by reading an excerpt by Symplicius of Cilicia where it is said that Aristotle spoke of the category action established as mere action and taken as a genus. This category was connected with dispositions of the mind corresponding to verbs. Equally there existed mere affection too. It is precisely the verbs that could convey either action or affection, and the two categories action and affection were drawn from the active and passive verbs. These verbs, however, are not the same as those called upright and overturned by the Stoics. While Aristotle took mere action and mere affection into account, the Stoics were interested in predicates, and predicates definitely correspond …

Are Humans Poor at Arguing? From the ‘Argumentative Theory of Reasoning’ back to a Rhetorical Theory of Argumentation

2018

Starting from Sperber and Mercier’s theory (2011) on the relationship between reasoning and arguing, we will try to rethink the link between rhetoric and argumentation. Using Aristotelian rhetoric as a theoretical framework, we will focus on two related features: 1) the nature and the role of argumentation inferences in classical models of rhetoric; 2) the role of normativity in assessing a naturalistic description of what we make when we argue.

Rhetorical deliberation. A sustainable normativism from a Gorgianic-Aristotelian perspective

2018

Starting from the discursive turn that has characterized democracy since the 80s of the last century, our article tries to outline a form of sustainable normativism. To do this, we use a theoretical framework derived from ancient Greek rhetoric and in particular from the reflection of Gorgias and Aristotle. In our perspective, on the one hand, the Gorgianic view is a useful reminder of the role that the pursuit of power and the possibility of conflict unavoidably play in the form of argumentation specific to the public sphere, that is, deliberation. On the other hand, Aristotle, thanks to his emphasis on the link between logos and desire and his analysis of truth available in deliberative c…

Obiecta, opposita, antikeimena nel De anima di Aristotele

2012

The word antikéimena is often translated by modern editors of De anima with the expression "correlative objects", rather than as "opposites". The aim of this paper is to present some arguments against this translation, insomuch as it disregards the link established with the concept of opposition between De anima and the Aristotelian theory of motion and change.

Aparatūra “Lotoss” poliuretāna plastmasas detaļu atliešanai kosmosā

2020

1980. gadā kosmosa stacijā “Salūts” pirmoreiz kosmonautikas vēsturē tika realizēts putupoliuretāna ieguves eksperiments mikrogravitācijas apstākļos, kura rezultāta tika iegūtas jaunas atziņas par ķīmiski tehnoloģisko procesu norisi kosmosā. Kosmosā tapa Maskavas olimpisko spēļu simbola lācīša figūra. Iekārtu "Lotoss", kas pašreiz atrodas Latvijas Ķīmijas vēstures muzeja krājumā, LPSR Zinātņu Akadēmijas Koksnes ķīmijas institūtā izstrādājis latviešu ķīmiķis, ķīmijas doktors, izgudrotājs un gleznotājs Arnolds Alksnis, un tā domāta polimerizācijas reakciju pētīšanai bezsvara stāvoklī.

Optimal Guard Placement Problem Under L-Visibility

2006

Two points a and b in the presence of polygonal obstacles are L-visible if the length of the shortest path avoiding obstacles is no more than L. For a given convex polygon Q, Gewali et al [4]. addressed the guard placement problem on the exterior boundary that will cover the maximum area exterior to the polygon under L-visibility. They proposed a linear time algorithm for some given value of L. When the length L is greater than half of the perimeter, they declared that problem as open. Here we address that open problem and present an algorithm whose time complexity is linear in number of vertices of the polygon.

A Simple Cardiovascular Model for the Study of Hemorrhagic Shock

2020

Hemorrhagic shock is the number one cause of death on the battlefield and in civilian trauma as well. Mathematical modeling has been applied in this context for decades; however, the formulation of a satisfactory model that is both practical and effective has yet to be achieved. This paper introduces an upgraded version of the 2007 Zenker model for hemorrhagic shock termed the ZenCur model that allows for a better description of the time course of relevant observations. Our study provides a simple but realistic mathematical description of cardiovascular dynamics that may be useful in the assessment and prognosis of hemorrhagic shock. This model is capable of replicating the changes in mean …
