Vahid, Burge, and Perceptual Entitlement
No full textHamid Vahid criticizes Tyler Burge\u27s account of perceptual entitlement. Vahid argues that Burge\u27s account fails to satisfy a criterion of adequacy that any correct account of perceptual warrant must satisfy. According to Vahid, a correct account of perceptual warrant must allow for perceptual beliefs, which are produced by a properly functioning perceptual system, yet, which lack warrant. The present article argues that Vahid\u27s critique of Burge fails. It presents numerous examples of such beliefs that are consistent with Burge\u27s account of perceptual entitlement
Vahid - en dansker i flygtningestrømmen
No full textThe scientific research examines how the identity of refugees is constructed based on Kristian Husted’s book Vahid (2018), and whether there are certain discourses about refugees, which is repeated in the Danish media, or not.In order to answer this thesis statement, we have applied Giorgio Agamben’s theories regarding the naked life, biopolitics and state of exception on the book Vahid (2018). Furthermore, we have used Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis on five articles from the Danish news media Politiken during the period 12/21-15 to 12/27-15. We have, in addition to the discourse analysis, conducted a comparative analysis of the discourses from Vahid (2018) and the articles from Politiken.The scientific research concludes that the identity of refugees is constructed due to a biopolitical structure in the society, in which refugees are being reduced to a naked life. Furthermore, the project concludes that certain discourses from Vahid (2018), where refugees are being objectified, are also being repeated in the danish media. However not all discourses from Vahid (2018) are represented in the medias, but there is a tendency, where negative discourses are being linked with the identity of refugees. <br/
Image processing code for characterization of multiphase flow in porous media
No full textThis work utilizes microfluidic experiments to gather data captured as snapshots during the experiments. These snapshots provide real-time information and undergo image processing to derive the required data. Image processing involves several steps tailored to the investigations:
Making a reference image (mask): This process involves creating a reference image, or mask, to document the initial conditions. For instance, the porous domain is imaged when saturated with one phase to differentiate various areas containing different phases.
Reading and cutting images: Images showing changes in fluid volume fraction are selectively chosen and processed. Each image is read into MATLAB, and the area of interest is extracted.
Image segmentation: Labeling each pixel of the images is done via thresholding and edge detection.
Measuring parameters: Parameters like saturation, interfacial length, area, contact angle, and curvature are measured. These parameters play a crucial role in analyzing the experiments. The interfacial area is calculated through various formulations.
Calculating capillary pressure: Several forms of capillary pressure are calculated using information derived from the experiments.
REV-Scale Quantities: Parameters are upscaled to represent Representative Elementary Volume (REV)-scale values essential for continuum theories. REV-scale capillary pressure is derived from pore-scale values using appropriate averaging techniques.

Data for: Formation of common preferential two-phase displacement pathways in porous media
No full textWith the use of optical microscopy, microfluidic experiments took place in quasi-2D artificial porous media for a variety of cyclic displacement processes and boundary conditions, four of which are shared here. This Dataset contains the data presented in the related publication Vahid Dastjerdi et. al. (2024).
Each experiment is flow-controlled and has a different flow rate. Three of the experiments include 12, 21, or 24 sequential displacement events. The images and pressures recorded during the experiments are presented. Due to some technical issues, pressure values for experiment 2 are not available

Use of artificial intelligence in government
No full textThe Citizen-Centric AI Systems (CCAIS) team1 is a multidisciplinary group of academics and researchers at the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) within the University of Southampton. The team is developing the fundamental science needed to build artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can be trusted by citizen end users. It is funded through a 5-year UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship led by Professor Sebastian Stein. The team collaborates closely with Responsible AI UK (RAI UK), a network that brings researchers in the UK together to understand how we should shape the development of AI to benefit people, communities and society. On behalf of their research group, Dr. Sarah Kiden, Dr. Vahid Yazdanpanah and Professor Sebastian Stein are keen on offering the Responsible Use of Citizen- Centric AI (RECA) framework to the Public Accounts Committee of the UK Parliament in response to the inquiry on the 'Use of artificial intelligence in government' https://committees.parliament.uk/work/8367/use-of-artificial-intelligencein- government/. Drawing from extensive research and stakeholder workshops, the RECA framework provides evidence-based guidelines to promote the responsible, ethical and transparent development, deployment and use of AI for the benefit of all citizens
