Abstract:
In this paper I will present several possible theoretical interpretations of the testimonies of Thales? thesis that water is ????. I will try to show that none of these interpretations can integrate even all Aristotle?s testimonies. I will try to show that these testimonies lead to contradiction, and that from this fact follows the irreconcilability of these interpretations.

Abstract:
The paper attempts to reconstruct Thales’ argument about water, which is rightly considered to be the core of his philosophy of nature. It consists of two separate arguments – one biological and the other physical – which ascribe to water two different functions: in the first case, it is a source of life on the earth or, in another version, a source of life of the earth in its entirety; in the second case, it is something that supports the earth in its stationary position in the cosmos. These two arguments indicate that Thales’ notion of water was meant to answer more than just one question about nature. This, in turn, might justify the use of the concept of arche, which Aristotle attributed to the Ionian philosophers, even though Thales had obviously never used the term. The concept may somehow accurately render Thales’ more general view of water. It should be noted, however, that if the term arche can be applied to Thales’ views, then it is only in the sense related to the “coming-to-be”. Thales’ arguments did not apply – contrary to what some doxographers said and what certain scholars still maintain – to the question of the end, or perishing of physical things, the problem taken up only by later Ionians. To put it differently, Thales never claimed that the physical things which die or undergo destruction change into water.

Abstract:
The first philosopher is usually said to have been Thales. Raymond Geuss has recently suggested that it was not Thales but Oedipus (and the Sphinx), on the grounds that ‘It takes two’ for philosophy to exist. Slavoj Žižek, on the other hand, has suggested that ‘It takes one’: in which case the first philosopher may well have been Thales. Here I argue that ‘It takes three’ and that the first philosopher was not the first to have a vision, and not the first to answer a riddle, but the first to hear two sides of a question and make sense of both.

Abstract:
In Plutarch's Convivium septem sapientium (CSS) a narration of the banquet proper is preceded by an account of the walk to the banquet of three of the participants: Thales, Diocles and Niloxenus, a messenger of the Egyptian pharaoh Amasis. Upon learning that Niloxenus brings a letter from Amasis to Bias, Thales says with laughter: εἴ τι κακὸν αὖθις εἰς Πριήνην· διαλύσει γὰρ Βίας, ὡς διέλυσεν αὐτὸς τὸ πρῶτον (CSS 146E–F: ‘if it is something bad – to Priene again! For Bias will solve it, just as he solved the first one’). Scholars have noticed that Thales’ words echo a Greek proverb, transmitted in Zenobius’ collection: εἴ τι κακὸν εἰς Πύρραν, ‘if it is something bad – to Pyrrha’. However, the purpose of Plutarch's reference to this particular proverb has thus far remained unclear. The aim of this contribution is to shed light on Thales’ words by examining the meaning of the Pyrrha proverb and suggesting an interpretation which explains the function of Plutarch's allusion to it.

Abstract:
Muitos conceitos matemáticos que são estudados na Educação Básica estão permeados de aspectos históricos que muitos professores não têm conhecimento da sua existência. Esse artigo explora as ideias acerca da demonstração do teorema de Thales acerca de alguns momentos históricos: período pré-eudoxiano e pós-eudoxiano. Considera-se plausível que a ideia subjacente ao teorema de Thales ligado às condições de proporcionalidade de segmentos, isto é, medição de segmentos, pode ser uma forma de introduzir os números reais positivos. Assim, enfatizar o tratamento da comensurabilidade de segmentos ao desenvolver a demonstração do teorema de Thales, possibilita estabelecer uma relação com a construção dos Números Reais, acarretando uma possível proposta para seu tratamento, via medição.

Abstract:
AbstractThe first part of this article examines Patricia O'Grady's recent attempt to identify the method by which Thales might have successfully predicted a solar eclipse. According to O'Grady, some 60% of the potentially visible lunar eclipses were followed 23½ months later by potentially visible solar eclipses. It is shown that this ratio is no more than 23%, and that the method fails to predict after which specific lunar eclipse a solar eclipse will appear. In the second half of the article it is argued that on the basis of his own observations of major solar eclipses, Thales could have concluded that solar eclipses come in clusters of three, the second appearing 17 or 18 months, and the third 35 months, after the first one. In the years after the "predicted" eclipse of 28 May 585 BC, this apparent pattern disappeared again, which would explain why Thales managed to "predict" only one eclipse.

Abstract:
This article presents and describes the operational capabilities of an onboard GNSS receiver to determine the reliability of the in-flight navigation parameters. An analysis was made of the operation reliability of an autonomous single-frequency Thales Mobile Mapper receiver in air navigation as compared to the technical operation of a dual-frequency Topcon HiperPro receiver. To this end, this work contains a comparison of the aircraft flight navigation parameters based on readings obtained from the Thales Mobile Mapper and Topcon HiperPro receivers. In particular, the comparison concerned the reliability of coordinate determination and flight speed parameters of an aircraft. The research experiment was conducted using a Cessna 172 aircraft, a property of the Military University of Aviation in Dęblin, Poland. Technical operation of the GNSS satellite receivers was tested in the flights of the Cessna 172 aircraft around the EPDE military airport in Dęblin. Based on the results obtained from the tests, it was found that the operational reliability of the Thales Mobile Mapper in the operational phase of the in-flight test ranged from -3.8 to +6.9 m in the XYZ geocentric frame and from -2.2 to +8.1 m in the BLh ellipsoidal frame, respectively. On the other hand, the accuracy of the Cessna 172 aircraft positioning when using the Thales Mobile Mapper receiver was higher than 1.7 m in the XYZ geocentric frame and higher than 2 m in the BLh ellipsoidal frame, respectively. Furthermore, the reliability of the Cessna 172 flight speed determination was from -3.4 to +2.4 m/s.

Abstract:
Abstract Successful, seamless interchange of simulation databases has long proved surprisingly difficult to achieve. Numerous technical difficulties, arising from the different environmental representations used by different simulation systems, have proved to be only one facet of this difficulty. Often such problems are in fact the result of more fundamental underlying issues, such as the mathematical relationships between different co-ordinate systems. Logistical issues, and collaborative aspects of database interchange between different groups or companies, also contribute to the problems. Thales has encountered many of these issues over the years in generating a range of databases for its simulation systems. These databases are required to correlate closely with other sensor systems, in particular the visual, but it is often the case that these other systems are third party products, using databases modelled by companies other than Thales. In these circumstances, the strategy used by Thales to generate its databases has typically been to derive them directly from the visual database. This has involved directly processing the visual database, extracting relevant geometry and attribution and formatting it for use by the Thales simulation systems. Historically, such visual databases have been provided by third parties using the SIF/HDI interchange format and imported directly into the Thales database generation toolset. While generating such derived databases in this way has been achieved successfully, many interchange issues referred to above were encountered and needed to be addressed. When the need arose to replace SIF/HDI, the opportunity was taken to seek a replacement that would not only provide better representational capabilities but also address many of the wider, non-technical issues as well. Analysis of a variety of formats was undertaken and SEDRIS emerged as by far the strongest contender. Not only did it provide the best all round support for existing data representation requirements, it also gave good support for addressing wider interchange issues and offered a variety of opportunities to enhance the database generation toolset, both during initial development and over time. This paper will discuss experiences using SEDRIS in this context. It will examine the basic representational requirements that needed to be met and the interchange problems that were to be overcome. The ways in which SEDRIS was seen to address these problems will be considered, along with the other advantages SEDRIS offered. Experiences developing SEDRIS software and interchanging databases using SEDRIS will also be described, including some lessons learned concerning both the use of SEDRIS and database interchange in general.

Abstract:
In this paper we try to show that, according to Aristotle, Anaximandar, like Thales, Anaximenes and Heraclitus, is a monist in respect of the type of ultimate cause of composition and change in the phenomenal world, since he is a materialist, but not a material monist. According to Aristotle?s understanding, his ultimate material cause, which he, according to some testimonies, called [??] ???????, is a ?mixture? and not a homogeneous fundamental substance. The paper will also try to show that, according to Aristotle, the theory of the ultimate material cause is strictly related to the theory of change. Thales, Anaximens and Heraclitus explain cosmogony and changes in the phenomenal world by condensation and rarefaction of the ultimate homogeneous material cause, while Anaksimandar explains them by separating (and by merging) the heterogeneous parts of that cause.

Abstract:
FDI(R) for satellites: How to deal with high availability and robustness in the space domain?The European leader for satellite systems and at the forefront of orbital infrastructures, Thales Alenia Space, is a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Finmeccanica (33%) and forms with Telespazio a Space Alliance. Thales Alenia Space is a worldwide reference in telecoms, radar and optical Earth observation, defence and security, navigation and science. It has 11 industrial sites in 4 European countries (France, Italy, Spain and Belgium) with over 7200 employees worldwide. Satellite evolution and the wish to design more autonomous missions imply the enhancement of the satellite architecture and special attention paid to fault management (i.e., Fault Detection, Isolation and Recovery, or FDIR, in space). Nevertheless, the constraints on FDIR techniques and strategies remain the same as for standard missions: robustness, reactive detection, quick isolation/identification and validation. This paper gives an introduction to Fault Tolerance (FT) in the space domain and some principles for the coming FT architectures. The current context of FDIR is presented by describing the approach implemented on telecommunication satellites and, more precisely, on one of the most FDIR sensible subsystems: the AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control System). Following the current state of FDIR in the space domain, some perspectives are given such as a centralized distributed FDIR strategy for the next generation of autonomous satellites as well as some research tracks and hybrid diagnosis.

Abstract:
Rationale In patients with acute cerebral ischemia, the rate of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death during 90 days was reported to be non-significantly lower with ticagrelor compared with aspirin, with no increase in major hemorrhage. Dual antiplatelet therapy may be more effective in this setting. Aim To investigate whether ticagrelor combined with aspirin are superior to aspirin alone in preventing stroke or death in patients with non-severe, non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack. Design The Acute Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack Treated with Ticagrelor and Aspirin for Prevention of Stroke and Death (THALES) trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, event-driven study. Patients will be randomized within 24 h of onset of acute ischemic symptoms. THALES is expected to randomize 13,000 at ∼450 sites worldwide, to collect 764 primary outcome events. Study treatments are ticagrelor 180 mg loading dose on day 1, then 90 mg twice daily on days 2–30, or matching placebo. All patients will also receive open-label aspirin 300–325 mg on day 1, then 75–100 mg once daily on days 2–30. Study outcomes The primary efficacy outcome is time to the composite endpoint of stroke or death through 30-day follow-up. The primary safety outcome is time to first severe bleeding event. Discussion The THALES trial will provide important information about the benefits and risks of dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor and aspirin in patients with acute cerebral ischemia in a global setting (funding: AstraZeneca).

Abstract:
It is usually said that there is a clear difference between pre-philosophical texts such as Homer’s Iliad and what is provided in the fragments corresponding to first philosophers such as Thales of Miletus. This paper tries to show that this is not undoubtedly so, and it does that by means of the analysis of a fragment of the Iliad in which Hypnos is speaking. In this way, the main argument is that, while the fragment can be interpreted both in a literal and in a metaphorical or poetic sense, in both of those cases it can be thought that it is related to philosophy or rational thinking. If the interpretation is literal, the fragment expresses an idea very akin to an important thesis by Thales of Miletus. On the other hand, if the interpretation is metaphorical or poetic, we have to assume, following several contemporary reasoning theories, that the fragment is essentially based on an evident rational inference.

Abstract:
According to classical tradition, Thales of Miletus predicted the total solar eclipse that took place on 28 May 585 bce. Even if some authors have flatly denied the possibility of such a prediction, others have struggled to find cycles which would justify the achievement of the philosopher. Some of the proposed cycles have already been refuted, but two of them, namely those of Willy Hartner and Dirk Couprie, remain unchallenged. This paper presents some important objections to these two possibilities, based on the fact that these authors do not list all the eclipses potentially visible by their criteria. In addition, any explanation based on cycles will need to face the complex problem of visibility (smallest observable eclipse, weather…). The present article also includes a statistical study on the predictability of solar eclipses for a variety of periods, similar to that performed by Willy Hartner for lunar eclipses, resulting in lower probabilities in the solar case (and percentages depend on the chosen magnitude limit). The conclusion is that none of the cycles proposed so far provides a satisfactory explanation of the prediction, and, on statistical grounds, none of the periods studied leads to a significant probability of success with solar eclipse cycles.

Abstract:
CYNTHIA BOSIVERT and her partner work in private, but in full view. In fact, you might have seen Cynthia or someone who has the same job that she does. Cynthia works with a graduated rod and a theodolite on a tripod—she is a surveyor. Her job begins long before she takes her instruments to a site. “Before a survey team even leaves the office, there is a lot to do,” says Cynthia. “The crew has to look up the original land deed at the local Registry of Deeds to see how the original deed describes the boundary lines. Older deeds might identify a tree or a large rock as an essential part of a property line, and when you get out to the site, it isn't there any more.” Regardless of how the original deed reads, the survey crew prepares a deed sketch to help guide them when they get to the actual site.
