Nonnegative Matrix Factorization

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization By Nicolas Gillis
2020 | 350 Pages | ISBN: 1611976405 | PDF | 24 MB
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) in its modern form has become a standard tool in the analysis of high-dimensional data sets. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the most important aspects of the NMF problem and is the first to detail its theoretical aspects, including geometric interpretation, nonnegative rank, complexity, and uniqueness. It explains why understanding these theoretical insights is key to using this computational tool effectively and meaningfully. Nonnegative Matrix Factorization is accessible to a wide audience and is ideal for anyone interested in the workings of NMF. It discusses some new results on the nonnegative rank and the identifiability of NMF and makes available MATLAB codes for readers to run the numerical examples presented in the book. Graduate students starting to work on NMF and researchers interested in better understanding the NMF problem and how they can use it will find this book useful. It can be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses on numerical linear algebra and on advanced topics in numerical linear algebra and requires only a basic knowledge of linear algebra and optimization

Networks as Connected Contracts Edited with an Introduction by Hugh Collins

Networks as Connected Contracts Edited with an Introduction by Hugh Collins
Christian Joerges, Hugh Collins, "Networks as Connected Contracts: Edited with an Introduction by Hugh Collins"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1849461740 | PDF | pages: 311 | 19.3 mb
Business networks consist of several independent businesses that enter into interrelated contracts, conferring on the parties many of the benefits of co-ordination achieved through vertical integration in a single firm, without creating a single integrated business such as a corporation or partnership. Retail franchises are one such example of a network, but the most common instance is a credit card transaction between a customer, retailer, and the issuer of the card. How should the law analyse this hybrid economic phenomenon? It is neither exactly a market relationship - because that overlooks the co-ordination, relational qualities and interdependence of the contracts - nor is it a type of business association or company, since it lacks a centralised co-ordinating authority that receives the residual profits.

Negotiating Critical Literacies with Teachers Theoretical Foundations and Pedagogical Resources for Pre-Service and In-Service

Negotiating Critical Literacies with Teachers Theoretical Foundations and Pedagogical Resources for Pre-Service and In-Service
Negotiating Critical Literacies with Teachers: Theoretical Foundations and Pedagogical Resources for Pre-Service and In-Service Contexts By Vivian Maria Vasquez, Stacie L. Tate, Jerome C. Harste
2013 | 135 Pages | ISBN: 0415641616 | PDF | 6 MB
How can teacher educators engage pre-service and in-service teachers in learning about and framing their teaching from a critical literacy perspective? What does this mean? Why is it important? To address these questions, this book offers a theoretical framework and detailed examples, pedagogical resources, and insights into ways to build critical literacies with teachers in and out of school. Its unique contribution is to bridge critical literacy theory and teacher education. Participants in teacher education programs and professional development settings are often reminded of the need to build curriculum using children's inquiry questions, passions and interests but generally this message is delivered only through telling (lectures) or showing (examples from other people's classrooms). This book advances critical literary by explaining and illustrating how teacher educators can do much more―by creating opportunities for pre-service and in-service teachers to "live critical literacies" through experiencing firsthand what it is like to be a learner where the curriculum is built around teachers' own inquiry questions, passions, and interests.

Nazism (Oxford Readers)

Nazism (Oxford Readers)
Nazism (Oxford Readers) edited by Neil Gregor
English | December 7, 2000 | ISBN: 0192892819 | True EPUB/PDF | 480 pages | 0.8/130 MB
This unique collection brings together extracts from the most innovative and stimulating studies of Nazism, including many forgotten or ignored older works. Nazism looks afresh at the structure, style of rule, and consequences of National Socialism and explores how successive generations of commentators and historians have sought to explain and understand the origins, nature, impact, and legacy of this regime of unprecedented destructiveness.

Nanotechnology for CO2 Utilization in Oilfield Applications

Nanotechnology for CO2 Utilization in Oilfield Applications
Tushar Sharma, "Nanotechnology for CO2 Utilization in Oilfield Applications"
English | ISBN: 0323905404 | 2022 | 330 pages | PDF | 14 MB
Nanotechnology for CO2 Utilization in Oilfield Applications delivers a critical reference for petroleum and reservoir engineers to learn the latest advancements of combining the use of CO2 and nanofluids to lower carbon footprint. Starting with the existing chemical and physical methods employed for synthesizing nanofluids, the reference moves into the scalability and fabrication techniques given for all the various nanofluids currently used in oilfield applications. This is followed by various, relevant characterization techniques. Advancing on, the reference covers nanofluids used in drilling, cementing, and EOR fluids, including their challenges and implementation problems associated with the use of nanofluids.

Nanotechnology Horizons in Food Process Engineering Volume 3

Nanotechnology Horizons in Food Process Engineering Volume 3
Nanotechnology Horizons in Food Process Engineering: Volume 3: Trends, Nanomaterials, and Food Delivery
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1774910985 | 460 Pages | PDF (True) | 18 MB
Although nanotechnology has revolutionized fields such as medicine, genetics, biology, bioengineering, mechanics, and chemistry, its increasing application in the food industry is relatively recent in comparison. Nanotechnology in the food industry is now being explored for creating new flavors, extending food shelf life, and improving food protection and nutritional value, as well as for intelligent nutrient delivery systems, "smart" foods, contaminant detection nanodevices and nanosensors, advanced food processing, antimicrobial chemicals, encapsulation, and green nanomaterials.
