Sofística e Retórica no Górgias de Platão by Daniel R. N. Lopes

“…This essay aims at elucidating the distinction between sophistry and rhetoric in Plato’s Gorgias starting from Socrates’ enigmatic contention that “sophists and rhetors are mixed up in the same area and about the same thing, since they are so close to each other” (465c4-5; Irwin’s translation). To this end I will discuss, firstly, the genealogy of the Greek words sophistikē and rhētorikē in the remaining Greek literature, attempting to show that the modern notions of “sophistry” and “rhetoric” in a broad sense derive from a Platonic-Aristotelian operation of delimitating a special kind of thought and pedagogical activity in opposition to “philosophy”. …”

Parametric Estimation of Directional Wave Spectra from Moored FPSO Motion Data Using Optimized Artificial Neural Networks by Do-Soo Kwon, Sung-Jae Kim, Chungkuk Jin, MooHyun Kim

“…Leveraging a mid-fidelity digital twin of a spread-moored FPSO vessel in the Guyana Sea, this approach integrates a wide range of statistical values calculated from the time histories of vessel responses—displacements, angular velocities, and translational accelerations. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), trained and optimized through hyperparameter tuning and feature selection, are employed to estimate wave parameters including the significant wave height, peak period, main wave direction, enhancement parameter, and directional-spreading factor. …”

Xanthoxyletin blocks the RANK/RANKL signaling pathway to suppress the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells by Zhang Xin, Li Luming, Wu Yan

“…The results revealed a significant (p < 0.05) upregulation of receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK), receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in human pancreatic tissues and cell lines at both transcriptional and translational levels. The administration of pancreatic cancer cells with xanthoxyletin diminished the viability of Capan-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and led to a significant decline in RANK, RANKL, and OPG expression. …”
