Image acquisition system of chestnuts has been designed in this study. After the preprocessing on the images, including image de-noising, image enhancement, image segmentation, edge extraction and edge linking, the parameters of the shape features of chestnuts such as the areas, the perimeter, the circularity, the eccentricity and the degree of circularity have been extracted. This study propos...

Industrialization arrived with its promise that any amount of mechanization leading to the adoption new technology and mass production scale can solve level human malaise. However, over decades, world has become dump yard greed. The Take- Make- Waste Model, promoted mainly by developed, western world, built global waste such a natural earth no more absorb it itself. Almost two centuries mindles...

Circularity arises in regulation if the value of a company’s assets used to set prices is itself determined by future earning capacity. The view that it is not possible to determine values and prices in these circumstances has become well established in the literature. In this paper we formalise this precise circularity result. We then show that if there is a possibility of future review and th...

Upshot: The target article defends the fundamental role of circularity for systems sciences and the necessity to develop a conceptual and methodological approach to it. The concept of circularity, however, is multifarious, and two of the main challenges in this respect are to provide distinctions between different forms of circularities and explore in detail the roles they play in organizations...

I begin by highlighting the importance of the step size in the induction step of the sorites paradox. A careful analysis reveals that the step size can be characterised as a proper instance of the concept very small. After having accurately described the structure of sorites-susceptible predicates, I argue that the structure of the induction step in the Sorites Paradox is inherently circular. T...

If the reliability of a source of testimony is open to question, it seems epistemically illegitimate to verify the source’s reliability by appealing to that source’s own testimony. Is this because it is illegitimate to trust a questionable source’s testimony on any matter whatsoever? Or is there a distinctive problem with appealing to the source’s testimony on the matter of that source’s own re...
