We consider the task of independent component analysis when the independent sources are known to be nonnegative and well-grounded, so that they have a nonzero probability density function (pdf) in the region of zero. We propose the use of a "nonnegative principal component analysis (nonnegative PCA)" algorithm, which is a special case of the nonlinear PCA algorithm, but with a rectification nonlinearity, and we conjecture that this algorithm will find such nonnegative well-grounded independent sources, under reasonable initial conditions. While the algorithm has proved difficult to analyze in the general case, we give some analytical results that are consistent with this conjecture and some numerical simulations that illustrate its operation.

Background: There is limited information on the effect of potassium (K) on the taste quality of rice. Field experiments with five K fertilizer application rates (0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 kg KO ha) were conducted in 2019 and 2020 using two cultivars (Xiadao No. 1 and Shenliangyou 5814) to study the effects of K fertilization on grain yield, taste quality, starch components, and protein components in grains.

Sesame cultivation was until recently restricted to the northwestern part of Benin. The yield is relatively low, as there are no improved varieties introduced and widely adopted so far. This study aimed to assess the molecular diversity, genetic differentiation, and the agronomic performance of a collection of local cultivars and introduced lines of sesame from China.
