Philosophers have become accustomed to being queried as the value of their discipline. Hume, too, grappled with these questions. In a collection four essays, entitled “The Epicurean,” Stoic,” Platonist,” and Sceptic,” Hume discusses nature happiness. Sceptic” closes by downplaying philosophy, in particular its ability meaningfully contribute human Which characters, if any, speaks for Hume? this...

A skill-based engineering approach promises to increase changeability and flexibility in modern industrial automation systems. Skills can be modelled as finite state machines then exposed by means of OPC UA enabling their orchestration. concept the I4.0 language suggests peer-to-peer collaboration between components rather than a hierarchical ”use monitor” pattern skills. This paper focuses on ...

The central theme of this paper is enhancing the visibility of changes in order to retain good structure, simplicity and changeability of an evolving software system. Other related practical problems addressed in the paper are avoiding explosion of similar component versions, dealing with the impact of multiple changes affecting software during evolution, and reuse of features across system rel...

Due to today’s turbulent environment, manufacturing resources, particularly in assembly, must be reconfigured frequently. These reconfigurations are caused by various, partly cyclic, influencing factors. Hence, it is important to evaluate the innovation ability the capability of resources to implement innovations quickly and efficiently without large expense of manufacturing resources. For this...

The aim of this review is to explore the advanced progress of ophthalmic products; drug delivery is one of the mainly tricky and complicated fields for researchers. The conventional formulations such as solutions, suspensions, ointments, etc. shows some constraint in increase of pre-corneal elimination, elevated changeability in efficiency, blurred vision and also diminish their bioavailability...

Coupling in software has been linked with maintainability and existing metrics are used as predictors of external software quality attributes such as fault-proneness, impact analysis, ripple effects of changes, changeability, etc. Many coupling measures for object-oriented (OO) software have been proposed, each of them capturing specific dimensions of coupling. In this paper, we describe and ev...
