In most machine learning algorithms, the distribution of training and test sets (source and target domains, respectively) are assumed the same. However, this condition is violated in many real world problems and the performance of model degrades as well. The aim of domain ADAPTATION solution is to build an adaptive model on source data to have acceptable performance on target domain. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised two-phases approach which benefits from representation and model ADAPTATION methods. In the first phase, source and target data are projected onto a common subspace on which the marginal and conditional distribution difference is minimized. Moreover, domain invariant clustering is exploited to discriminate between various classes of source data. In the second phase, an ADAPTATION classifier is presented to minimize prediction error rate and maximize manifold adaptability across source and target domains. The proposed approach is evaluated on four visual benchmark datasets according to 36 designed experiments. The obtained results highlight the considerable performance of the proposed approach against other state-of-the-art machine learning and transfer learning methods.

Foliar anatomy of three species of Chenopodiaceae family including Chenopodium album, Kochia prostrata and Noaea mucronata are studied. Various anatomical characters such as stomatal densities, guard cell length for the adaxial and abaxial epidermis, type of stomata, and density of trichome on surface, cuticle thickness, mesophyll type and variety of crystal are compared. Photosynthesis pathway is C4 in Kochia prostrata and Noaea mucronata. Foliar internal structure of species studied typically is characterized by xerophytes plants accompany by extensive central water-storage tissue which explains Chenopodiaceae ADAPTATION to arid and semiarid area.  

Every piece of literary writing in the course of conveying its message to the reader structurally and meaningfully has its own parlance. However, a large number of structural forms in rendering to another language are modified even though their meaning is often the same. In translation of many literary works as an examples. Shakespeare's writings, the translator preserves the meaning in rendering the words; nevertheless, there is always a struggle on his part for the euphemism of the words with the text. To obtain an appropriate translation from the text, we need to change the elements in the original text, that is obtaining the literary translation with the literary ADAPTATION. As a result, no authentic translation is possible without this ADAPTATION. If we tend to enter the exact forms into the target language, it will seem incomprehensible and unacceptable to the reader. Therefore, any language and rhetorical change in translation, is acceptable, provided it does not harm the semantic content of the sentence.

Background & Aims: COVID-19 is an acute disease of the respiratory system with diffuse inflammation. In this disease, a wide range of symptoms can cause biological and psychological changes in performance. Skillful preparation of the patient to find the optimal way to deal with this disease, as well as maintaining the independence and vitality of life, is an important part of the treatment process in these patients. So the aim of this study was to use Roy's adaptability model in patient care for COVID19 and to prepare the patient to deal with the problems caused by the disease based on the nursing process, which is made according to the instructions of the Roy model. Materials & Methods: The case report study was conducted in March 2020 in one of the hospitals of Qom University of Medical Sciences. A patient with COVID19 was examined and the Roy pattern was performed on him. Nursing care was performed based on the Roy nursing process in 6 stages. Results: The results of the study showed that the patient had maladaptive behaviors in 4 modes (physiological, ADAPTATION of self-perception, role-playing, independence and dependence(. After performing nursing care based on the Roy ADAPTATION pattern, maladaptive behaviors decreased. Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, implementing a nursing care program based on Roy ADAPTATION model can be effective on the physical, psychological ADAPTATION and reduction of maladaptive behaviors in patient with COVID 19. In this regard, Nurses can play a more effective role in improving the maladaptive behaviors of these patients by applying nursing care based on the ADAPTATION model.

The aim of the present research was to study the ADAPTATION of serum leptin after aerobic training in obese men. For this purpose, 24 male subjects (age 35-48) voluntarily participated in this study. There were 16 obese men with 82.7 kg average weight, 23.7 % body fat percent and 25.5 ml/kg.min VO2 max, and 8 lean men with 57.75kg average weight, 8.32% body fat percent and 29 ml/kg.min VO2 max. The obese men were randomly assigned to one of two groups of aerobic training or control group. The 3rdgroup was called lean men group. Blood samples were taken in fasting state from all subjects. The experimental subjects received aerobic training for 13 weeks, 3 sessions per week. The aerobic training program included continuous running with an intensity of 75-85 % maximal heart rate. The time of running in the first session was 15 minutes, and every two sessions one minute was gradually added to this running time, the final running time reached 30 minutes, arid this time was maintained up to the final session. The results showed that aerobic training caused a significant decrease in the serum leptin level of the obese men. In addition, they determined that in obese men at baseline state, leptin concentration was significantly higher than in lean men (P<0.05).We observed a positive and significant correlation between leptin and insulin; leptin and body fat percent; and a negative and significant correlation between leptin and serum free fatty acids in base state in all subjects. We concluded that leptin adapted to aerobic training and decreased in obese men. This decrease was greater than the change in fat mass.

For impelementing this research, 20 superior Poplar clones were selected from the experimental nurseries at Safrabasteh Research Station in Guilan province. From each clone, 75 seedlings were planted within a randomized complete block design in 3 replications in February of 1994. During the growing season, resistance of clones to pests and deiseases was studied. At the end of every growing season, diameter, and tree height were measured and the mean annual diameter and height growth as well as the current diameter, height and volume increment were calculated. Results showed that P. deltoides 63.51 and P. euramericana triplo had the maximum mean dbh with 20.9 cm and 19.8 cm, respectively. The maximum mean height was calculated for P. deltoides 63.51 and P.x.63.5 (natural hybrid) with 21.9 m and 20.1 m, respectively. The maximum mean volume increment of 21.33 m3/ha/y was computed for P. deltoides 63.51. P. euramericana I-214 showed the lowest, whereas P. caspica showed the highest resistance against pests.

In this article, the financial ethics of the Yazdi people and the institutional surrounding that shapes and sustains financial ethics is investigated using the theoretical and methodological foundations of Max Weber. Required data were gathered through qualitative content analysis of the documents of tourist travelogues, biography and memoirs of famous people, and exploratory interviews with informants and relevant reporters. To illustrate the financial ethics of the Yazdi people, the public financial ethics of the individuals were separated from the financial ethics of economic activists (businessmen and craftsmen). According to research findings, the characteristic of "self-raised" can be considered as the main component of public financial ethic and "intellectual synthetic thought" as the main component of businessmen ethic. Special styles of architecture encouraging coexistence and tolerance, strong endowment and charity, the reproducible commercial and industrial economy, and existence of emigration and immigration have had a two-way relationship with this financial ethic. In sum, the main component of financial ethic is "active ADAPTATION", which has three dimensions: compatibility with the system of existence that emerges in Yazdis faith and religiosity; compatibility with nature and climate reflected in natural structures, and sustainable architecture of the city; and ADAPTATION of the social environment reflected in the acceptance of Zoroastrian and Jewish religious minorities. The key point is that this is not a passive ADAPTATION but it is an active one with diligent work and effort.

Vulnerability, resilience, and ADAPTATION are essentially complex and interrelated concepts in research communities such as natural hazards, environmental changes, medical, engineering, management, social science, economics, etc. However, since these concepts encompass a broad range of topics, it should be no surprise that their definitions are very diverse and their interrelationships are still unclear. To remove the gap between different definitions and conceptual relevance of vulnerability, resilience, ADAPTATION, and resistive economy, and to avoid confronting paradoxes such as Singapore paradox, wrong categorizing and policymaking, a brief overview of the main definitions and evolutionary processes of these concepts is performed. Also based on the “ Shock-Damage-Recovery-Learning” cycle, a conceptual framework is introduced to present the relationships between them. In order to summarize the analytical framework of vulnerability, resilience, and adaption as well as the resistive economy as a corresponding concept of resilience, this study shows that a sustainable development strategy not only should seek to reduce the vulnerability of an economic system but also it should increase its resilience and adaptive capacity to cope with shocks, uncertainties, and potential future risks.
