  leaf - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about leaf   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Leaf shapes and arrangements on the stem are many and varied; in cross section, a leaf is a complex arrangement of cells surrounded by the epidermis.
Structurally the leaf is made up of inner tissues known as mesophyll cells, surrounded by the epidermis and usually an additional waxy layer, termed the cuticle, which prevents excessive evaporation of water from the leaf tissues by transpiration.
A compound leaf is composed of several leaflets, as in the flberry, horse-chestnut, or ash tree (the latter being a pinnate leaf).

These cigars typically consist of two main parts; the inner leaf is similar to a cigarette rolling paper, except it is made of tobacco, and the thicker outer leaf which is rolled around the inner leaf in a spiral.
In "leafing," the outer leaf of the cigar is moistened and removed whole.
The inner leaf is then folded, filled with tobacco or herbs, and wrapped in the outer leaf, which must remain moist.

 Maple Leaf
The maple leaf is the characteristic leaf of the maple tree, and is an important national symbol of Canada.
The maple leaf slowly caught on as a national symbol: in 1868, it was included in the coat of arms of both Ontario and Quebec, and was added to the Canadian coat of arms in 1921.
The maple leaf finally became the central national symbol with the introduction of the Canadian flag (designed by George F.G. Stanley) in 1965, which uses a highly-stylized eleven-pointed maple leaf, referring to no specific species of maple.

 Umbelliferae - LoveToKnow 1911
In sanicle (Sanicula), Astrantia and others the leaves are palmately divided; and there is a great variety in the degree of division in the characteristic pinnate leaf, which varies from simply pinnate to a branching of the blade to the fifth or sixth order.
There is also considerable variety in the development of the umbel, which is usually compound but sometimes simple, as generally in Hydrocotyle and Astrantia, rarely reduced to a single flower as in species of Hydrocotyle.
The two lobes at the base of the leaf are united, so that the stalk appears to come through the leaf.

is one of the most successful trees in London and other large towns; the smooth face of the leaf is easily washed by rain; and the periodical peeling of the bark also serves to get rid of impurities.
The bud in the leaf axil is protected during its development by the hollow base of the leaf-stalk, which lifts off like an extinguisher when the leaf falls in autumn.
The minute, unisexual flowers are borne in dense pendulous heads, which contain either male or female flowers; the small one-seeded fruits are densely crowded in a ball, from which they gradually separate in drying, and are readily carried by the wind.

 New Ways of Sharing and Using Authority Information: The LEAF Project
LEAF's primary objective has been to develop a system through which distributed name authority records are gathered, automatically linked together in meaningful ways, made available to a variety of operations and opened up for multiple analysis.
The format fulfils the requirements of the LEAF project with regard to the disparate structure of the formats used locally (data emanating from different domains and encoded according to several different descriptive rules and formats) that have to be mapped for linking.
LEAF Permanent Annotations are not "permanent" in a strict sense, but they are expected to have a significantly longer lifespan than a LEAF Temporary Annotation.

It is the leaf material in the hay that makes for its quality.
Farmers try to judge the point when the leaf in a paddock is at its maximum when the fodder is mowed.
The cut material is allowed to dry so that the bulk of the moisture is removed but the leafy material is still robust enough to be picked up from the ground by machinery and processed into storage, in whatever that might be, bales, stacks or pits.

 Ragtime
Ragtime was preceded by its close relative the Cakewalk, but the emergence of mature ragtime is usually dated to 1897, the year in which several important early rags were published.
In 1899 Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag was published, which became a great hit and demonstrated more depth and sophistication than earlier ragtime.
Ragtime is usually seen as one of the main precursors of jazz (along with the blues).

 A Memory-Based Model of Syntactic Analysis
Most probabilistic disambiguation models therefore build directly on that work: they characterize the probabilities of sentence-analyses by means of a "stochastic grammar", constructed out of a competence grammar by augmenting the rules with application probabilities derived from a corpus.
The composition-operation identifies the leftmost nonterminal leaf node of one tree with the root node of a second tree, i.e., the second tree is substituted on the leftmost nonterminal leaf node of the first tree.
Linguistic disambiguation involves classification under an ambiguous definition of the "case description language", i.e., the formal representation of the utterance analyses, which is usually a grammar.

Orthodox and CTC teas are further graded according to the post-production leaf quality by the Orange Pekoe system.
This is done through a controlled process similar to composting, where both the moisture and temperature of the tea are carefully monitored.
The earliest known references to green tea in Japan are in a text written by a Buddhist monk in the 9th century.

 Leaf
For this purpose, a leaf is typically flat and thin, to expose the chloroplast containing cells ('''''chlorenchyma''''') to light over a broad area, and to allow light to penetrate fully into the tissues.
Most of the interior of the leaf between the upper and lower layers of epidermis is a parenchyma(ground tissue) or chlorenchyma tissue called the mesophyll (= middle leaf).
Palmate-veined leaf There are two subtypes of venation, craspedodromus (the major veins stretch up to the margin of the leaf) and camptodromous (major veins come close to the margin, but bend before they get to it).

 [No title]
This was accomplished by comparing each leaf concept in each of the Mikrokosmos strands to all of the concepts in the corresponding Sensus strand and using a machine learned classifier to suggest which pairs are suitable for merging.
Once the classifier's suggestions are calculated for a given Mikrokosmos leaf concept, the five proposed merge concepts with highest confidence are presented to a human annotator (along with the Sensus concepts having identical names) in an web-based CGI interface developed especially for this purpose.
A second way to disambiguate concepts is to generate unique identifiers based on their subclass access path or "address" within the lattice.

 Enhancing a biomedical information extraction system with dictionary mining and context disambiguation
To disambiguate the admissible possibilities, the standard approach is to rely on the context in which the entity appears to provide additional clues to the intended meaning [16].
In [14] the one-sense-per-discourse [20] hypothesis was applied to disambiguation, exploiting the fact that the sense of a term is highly consistent within a given document.
The performance of the disambiguator based on learning only is rather poor on this set compared with its performance on the earlier locally disambiguated set.

Temperature and humidity are controlled to ensure that the leaf continues to ferment, without rotting or disintegrating.
The leaf will continue to be baled, inspected, unbaled, reinspected, and baled again repeatedly as it continues its aging cycle.
When the leaf has matured according to the manufacturer's specifications, it will be used in the production of a cigar.

The module, which is currently in the process of being designed and implemented, uses a hybrid example-based approach to disambiguate between various possible meanings of phrasal verbs, while at the same time generating a parse tree for the input sentence(s) that may be utilized for further translation.
An approach to phrasal verbs in the Danish language, as used in the SIMPLE system [8], classifies phrasal verbs as compositional and non-compositional; the former being those in which the verb and particle retain their core meaning and the latter being those in which this is not the case.
A crucial factor in effective disambiguation is the use of a suitable distance function, since the meaning corresponding to the entry with minimum distance from the input, shall be chosen as the output.

The output of the parser is in the form of bracketed parse trees, with constituents down to leaf nodes consisting of the part of speech and lexical entry.
That is, we view the senses of a lemma as being hierarchically structured and the process of disambiguation as one that proceeds down the (inverted) tree making use of additional pieces of information to reach some node, hopefully a leaf.
Although we may be able to disambiguate to a great extent based on frequency and syntactic considerations, as Wilks suggests, we may need to achieve the same results with other methods so that we can use the results of our disambiguation in other tasks.

A leaf is considered to be a plant organ, typically consisting of the following tissues: # An epidermis that covers the upper and lower surfaces # An interior chlorenchyma called the mesophyll # An arrangement of veins (the vascular tissue).
The epidermis is covered with pores called stomata (sing., stoma), part of a stoma complex consisting of a pore surrounded on each side by chloroplast-containing guard cells, and two to four subsidiary cells that lack chloroplasts.
The terminology associated with describing leaf morphology is presented (with illustrations) at [http://wikibooks.org/wiki/Botany:_Leaves_(forms) Wikibooks].
