The phrase "adaptation factor" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to changes or adjustments made in response to varying conditions or environments, often in scientific or technical discussions.
Example: "The adaptation factor in this study highlights how species evolve in response to climate change."
Alternatives: "adjustment variable" or "modification coefficient".
The suitability of the adaptation factor value adopted by the code is discussed and recommendations given.
In this paper, the value of the adaptation factor being adopted by the Eurocode for design of steel beam in fire with non-uniform temperature distribution is examined.
For a bare steel section subject to any temperature gradient, a value of 0.7 is stipulated for the adaptation factor in the Eurocode.
It is important to have well-defined concepts in order to avoid possible ambiguities and, therefore, impact the adaptation factor.
In this article, the luminance adaptation factor, fY,l λ, θ, i, j), is given by the power function proposed in [3] and is described as f Y ,l ( λ, θ, i, j ) = z Y ( λ max, θ, i ′, j ′ ) z Y, mean α for i ′ = i / 2 ( λ max - λ ) and j ′ = j / 2 ( λ max - λ ) (2).
with α denoting an adaptation factor which determines the weight which is given to the own estimate and the neighborhood estimates, respectively, and a bkn being a weighting factor chosen as a_{bkn}=1/ left[Vert hat{boldsymbol{psi}}_{bk}-text{median}(mathbf{V}_{jkn} Vert^{2} right] (16).
Thus, some virulence factors may be more appropriately termed "host adaptation" factors, as they allow bacteria to interact with and adapt to the host environment, but do not specifically promote virulence.
Literature on the use of the adaptation factors is scarce.
The use of adaptation factors is introduced in Eurocode for structural steel design under fire conditions.
Adaptation factors provide a simple means to estimate the moment capacity of a steel beam subject to temperature gradient.
A hospital built with all disaster risk reduction considerations, including with climate change adaptation factored in, but serving only the most affluent people, sets back development by expanding the rich-poor gap.
