The Relationship between Financial Development and Growth in Peripheral Countries: A Panel Data AnalysisThe relation between 'financial liberalisation' policies and 'economic growth' have started at the beginning of 2008 in USA and after a period of time, it has been the focal point one more time with the financial crisis that influenced the whole liberal capitalist system. By according with the tendency, the relation between the financial development degree and the economic growth for a group of neighboring countries is analyzed at the term of 1980-2010 with the help of panel data analysis. The basic findings that the panel data analyses displays are * Doç.Dr

İmage processing technique Particle distribution Particle size Sieve analysisGranular soils are used in different areas of civil engineering due to their easy accessibility and low cost as a material. The sieve analysis method, which has been conducted in rock physics measurements for many years, has been practicing determining the particle size distributions for those materials. In this study, a method based on image analysis technique has been developed as an alternative to traditional sieve analysis method for determining the particle size distribution in granular soils. This technique based on image processing to determine particle distributions via the experimental setup that consist of a camera, tripod, light box and mechanical shaking apparatus. In order to assess the reliability of this technique, each sample was subjected to traditional sieve analysis and the results of both analysis methods were compared. In conclusion, it was observed that the results obtained with the image processing technique had a minimum 95.22% closeness with the sieve analysis experiment data.
