NIEKO NĖRA, ARBA BŪTIES PROBLEMA SOFISTŲ MĄSTYME by Skirmantas Jankauskas

“…It is inferred that Gorgias in this way complicated "naive" or unproblematic thinking of the Greek philosophers, and concurrently identified, though only in a negative aspect, the fundamental premise of the Sophistic movement - the significance of individual opinion. Finally, it is argued here that Protagoras' famous criterion of man-measure defines the same premise in a positive manner. …”

A method for evaluating the accessibility of underground auxiliary transportation vehicles in coal mines based on multi feature fusion by Fan JIANG, Yifan LIU, Zhencai ZHU, Chaofan ZHANG, Gongbo ZHOU, Yuxing PENG

“…Progressive probability Hough transform and Catmull Rom spline curve with improved feature point selection are used to fit the straight track and curved track separately, forming a railway track detection method based on a switchable model; Secondly, based on the color attributes of coal mine underground tunnel wall pipelines, a pipeline feature detection strategy is constructed through HSV color space transformation, edge detection, and least squares fitting algorithms; Once again, a weighted fusion method based on pipeline and rail feature points is proposed to extract the centerline trajectory of auxiliary transportation vehicles, and to construct rules for generating safe passage areas for auxiliary transportation vehicles; Then, for the over-segmentation problem in the traditional watershed algorithm, two-dimensional edge and area feature extraction of static obstacles is carried out by using improved watershed segmentation based on markers and GraphCut algorithm, and a small-sample classification support vector mechanism is selected to build a pedestrian detection model based on the fusion of HOG (Histograms of Oriented Gradients)features and LBP(Local Binary Pattern) features for underground coal mine, so as to realize the comprehensive detection of dynamic and static obstacles in front of auxiliary transportation vehicles; Finally, the positional relationship between obstacles and safe passage area is judged by Euclidean distance to determine the obstacle invasion, and the results of auxiliary transportation vehicle passability assessment are obtained. …”

The interaction of tPA with NMDAR1 drives neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in α-synuclein-mediated neurotoxicity by Daniel Torrente, Enming J. Su, Alí Francisco Citalán-Madrid, Gerald P. Schielke, Daniel Magaoay, Mark Warnock, Tamara Stevenson, Kris Mann, Flavie Lesept, Nathalie Delétage, Manuel Blanc, Erin H. Norris, Denis Vivien, Daniel A. Lawrence

“…Moreover, overexpression of proteolytically inactive tPA in tPA Ala-BAC mice leads to increased neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration compared to mice expressing normal levels of tPA, suggesting a tPA dose response. Finally, treatment of mice with glunomab, a neutralizing antibody that selectively blocks tPA binding to the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-1 (NMDAR1) without affecting NMDAR1 ion channel function, identifies the tPA interaction with NMDAR1 as necessary for tPA-mediated neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in response to α-synuclein-mediated neurotoxicity. …”
