Many organizations seek or need to produce documents that are written plainly. In the United States, the Plain Writing Act of 2010'' requires that many federal agencies' documents for the public are written in plain English. In particular, the government's Plain Language Action and Information Network (PLAIN'') recommends that writers use short sentences and everyday words, as does the Securities and Exchange Commission's Plain English Rule.'' Since the 1970s, American plain language advocates have moved away from readability measures and favored usability testing and document design considerations. But in this paper we use quantitative measures of sentence length and word difficulty that (1) reveal stylistic variation among PLAIN's exemplars of plain writing, and (2) help us position PLAIN's exemplars relative to documents written in other kinds of accessible English (e.g., The New York Times, Voice of America Special English, and Wikipedia) and one academic document likely to be perceived as difficult. Uncombined measures for sentences and vocabulary---left separate, unlike in traditional readability formulas---can complement usability testing and document design considerations, and advance knowledge about different types of plainer English.

Adapters are light-weight modules that allow parameter-efficient fine-tuning of pretrained models. Specialized language and task adapters have recently been proposed to facilitate cross-lingual transfer of multilingual pretrained models (Pfeiffer et al., 2020b). However, this approach requires training a separate language adapter for every language one wishes to support, which can be impractical for languages with limited data. An intuitive solution is to use a related language adapter for the new language variety, but we observe that this solution can lead to sub-optimal performance. In this paper, we aim to improve the robustness of language adapters to uncovered languages without training new adapters. We find that ensembling multiple existing language adapters makes the fine-tuned model significantly more robust to other language varieties not included in these adapters. Building upon this observation, we propose Entropy Minimized Ensemble of Adapters (EMEA), a method that optimizes the ensemble weights of the pretrained language adapters for each test sentence by minimizing the entropy of its predictions. Experiments on three diverse groups of language varieties show that our method leads to significant improvements on both named entity recognition and part-of-speech tagging across all languages.
Twenty apple varieties were evaluated in the germ plasm of the Agricultural Scientific Research Center in Swaida for Morphological traits, bud honological stages, days after full bloom, storability which were ranged between 2.5 – 8 months, and bes t susceptibility (e.g. wooly aphid and powdery mildew), all studied varieties showed low susceptibility to wooly aphid, while Jersy Mac revealed high susceptibility to powdery mildew compared with the other varieties. The yield of all varieties was studied, so, they divided into: high yield varieties such Stark Earliest, Royal Gala and Golden 972; Good yield varieties "Golden Delicious, Starking Delicious, and Granny Smith etc."; and moderate yield varieties" Red Spur Delicious and Rome Beauty". Chemical analysis (Total soluble solids and total sugars) were achieved for all studied apple varieties. Apple Varieties were divided into five groups depending on Days After Full Bloom (DAFB). The present investigation indicted the high quantitative and qualitative traits of studied varieties which candidate for credence and distribute them in suitable environmental areas in Syria.
Media language has aroused the interest of linguists and media people as well. Media needs the means to convey its message to recipients while language requires the tool to publish it and put it in living use. Linguists skeptically viewed the lan guage level used by media people in their various means; hence discussing the media language has become valid and legitimate. The subject has been continuously discussed since journalism started in Arab countries and flourished with Arabic channels spreading out in the world and settling all over. The threat of media to the future of language has become more apparent. Standing in the face of this imminent danger has become a necessity and a task that should be shouldered by lovers of Arabic the language, and deeply rooted Arab civilization and heritage. This paper is a reminder of this problem and a continuation of previous studies which appeared in different Arab countries long time ago in which Arab researchers in Arabic, sociology and politics explained and pointed out the origins and seeds of the problem and its development so that the media people and students of media can be aware of it and stand to it. Media performs two contradictory aspects in using Arabic: the first is positive by spreading Arabic out to the learned and illiterate, while the second is negative in which colloquial and local dialects are used; thus spreading mistakes and regionalism; consequently weakening Arab national spirit and strengthening separation among Arab countries
20 local and introduced varieties of pear grown in Sweida during 2007 to 2010 were assessed in terms of flowering time, maturity time, accurate morphological characterization for shoots, leaves, flowers and fruits and fruit chemical analysis (tota l soluble solids, total sugar and tetratable acidity) as well as to determine firmness of fruit flesh and tree yield. Results showed that flowering time was at mid April in most varieties, and the varieties were divided into three groups according to their mature date: early varieties maturated during July, mid varieties maturated during August and late varieties maturated during September. However, A variety of Conference was required artificial ripening.
This research aims to study the sterols which is considered, one of the most important minor compounds, and characterizes vegetable oils.Ten items were selected from the planted seeds of safflower in Syria in the spring of 2010. Oil was separated from seed oil extraction with petroleum ether, then the content and content of the sterols were specified by using gas chromatography according to the standard method in the appointment of sterols in olive oil. The study concluded characterize safflower seed oil sterols from their content,
