Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Adaptive Detail Preserving Modified Progressive Pca Thresholding Based Image DenoisingN. Anilkumar, S. Radhakrishnan, Shaik Syed Basha et al.Radiologists use medical imaging tools to assess the anatomy and function of interior organs. However, medical images are frequently distorted by various types of noise generated during the capture, transmission, and reconstruction operations, which can dramatically reduce image quality and hide critical diagnostic features. As a result, developing effective denoising algorithms that suppress noise while maintaining structural information remains a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpacts of the Quota System on Afro-Brazilians/Indigenous Education and Brazil's National InterestClifford Jaylen LouimeDespite Brazil's cultural diversity and the significant presence of Afro-Brazilians and indigenous people, who collectively make up 56% of the population, disparities persist in economic empowerment, political influence, and representation. In response, the Brazilian government enacted the Quota Law in 2012, reserving 50% of admissions slots in federal universities for Afro-Brazilians, indigenous people, and individuals from low-income backgrounds to enhance … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2025 · 3,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDiversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (D.E.I.A.): An Imperative for Brazil's Global CompetitivenessClifford Jaylen LouimeIn Brazil, a country renowned for its cultural diversity and vibrant mix of ethnicities, the underrepresentation of Afro-Brazilians and Indigenous people stands as a stark reality. Despite comprising 56% of the population, these groups are conspicuously absent in key sectors of the economy and society. The Quota Law, enacted over a decade ago, was a promising step towards addressing this … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2025 · 5,821 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeometrical Approach to a New Hybrid Grid-Based Gravitational Clustering AlgorithmFaisal Bin Al Abid, A.N.M. Rezaul Karim, Golam Rahman ChowdhuryIn the past years, several clustering algorithms have been developed, for example, K-means, K-medoid. Most of these algorithms have the common problem of selecting the appropriate number of clusters and these algorithms are sensitive to noisy data and would cause less accurate clustering of the data set. Therefore, this paper introduces a new Hybrid Grid-based Gravitational Clustering Algorithm (HGGCA) geometrically, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 9 Mar 2021 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsRace and Consequences: An Examination of Police Abuse in AmericaNicole L. Martin, Augustine J. KposowaThe past few years have witnessed numerous media images of law enforcement officers shooting and in many cases, killing unarmed African American men and women. In significant amount of the cases, despite overwhelming video footage, police officers have not been held accountable for their actions. Most of the incidents have involved White policemen killing African American men. The study aimed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2019 · 9,659 accessesView PDFCite
