TL;DR: A recent subclass of NMF problems is presented, referred to as near-separable NMF, that can be solved efficiently (that is, in polynomial time), even in the presence of noise.
Abstract: Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has become a widely used tool for the analysis of high-dimensional data as it automatically extracts sparse and meaningful features from a set of nonnegative data vectors. We first illustrate this property of NMF on three applications, in image processing, text mining and hyperspectral imaging --this is the why. Then we address the problem of solving NMF, which is NP-hard in general. We review some standard NMF algorithms, and also present a recent subclass of NMF problems, referred to as near-separable NMF, that can be solved efficiently (that is, in polynomial time), even in the presence of noise --this is the how. Finally, we briefly describe some problems in mathematics and computer science closely related to NMF via the nonnegative rank.

TL;DR: This work proposes a new parallel bi-objective hybrid genetic algorithm that takes into account, not only makespan, but also energy consumption, and focuses on the island parallel model and the multi-start parallel model.

TL;DR: Discriminant function analysis indicated that essential characteristics of self-determination predicted membership in the high QOL group and that overallSelf-determination and QOL were significantly correlated, as were sub-scale scores.
Abstract: Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between self-determination and quality of life (QOL) of persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) living in four countries (Canada, United States, Belgium and France).
Method Participants were 182 adults with mild ID living in community settings (with families, living independently or in supported living environments). QOL was measured with the Quality of Life Questionnaire. Self-determination was measured using the Adult version of The Arc's Self-Determination Scale. Discriminant function and correlational analyses were conducted.
Results Discriminant function analysis indicated that essential characteristics of self-determination predicted membership in the high QOL group and that overall self-determination and QOL were significantly correlated, as were sub-scale scores.
Conclusions The study replicates findings from a previous study with an international sample and confirms the importance of self-determination to enhance QOL. Subsequent research should examine the direction of the relationship between self-determination and QOL and examine the relationship of essential characteristics of self-determined behaviour and core domains of QOL in greater detail.

TL;DR: In this article, the wrinkling of a rigid membrane attached to a soft substrate is described within a framework similar to that used for the parametric resonance of nonlinear oscillators.
Abstract: The complex wrinkling patterns produced when a sheet or membrane is compressed are often difficult to predict. Observations of unexpected spatial period-doubling bifurcation instability in the wrinkling of a rigid membrane attached to a soft substrate can be described within a framework similar to that used for the parametric resonance of nonlinear oscillators.
