 Disambiguation (outline)
Here's how to calculate the weight of one class C in c1,...,cm: list:=empty for all words w1...wn do: - compute the relation between W and wi (Here I assume that the POS of the words is in some way contained in the relation) we get a pair (wi,r,W) or (W,r,wi) depending on wi's position.
For each of the classes, we calculate its probability or weight, and use this value to compute the weights/probs of the senses.
- for all GermaNet classes c of wi, query the data base for the weight of the combination (c, r, C) or (C, r, c) add the weight to list.

 DAM FACTS AND INFORMATION
If the upstream face is vertical the entire weight of the dam must be carried to the foundation by gravity, while the distribution of the normal hydrostatic pressure between vertical cantilever and arch action will depend upon the stiffness of the dam in a vertical and horizontal direction.
The normal component of the weight of the arch ring may be taken by the arch action, while the normal hydrostatic pressure will be distributed as described above.
This is the case if the resultant force of water pressure and weight falls within the base of the dam.

 ASIS MY98, Kulyukin, Discussion
Although no explicit disambiguation is done, the WordNet-based term weight metric in Equation 2 decreases the weight of polysemantic words.
Our approach is to do a loosely constrained spread of activation on parts of the document at indexing time and let the term weight metrics, relevance feedback, and negative evidence acquisition home in on useful terms.
A common criticism of numerical IR approaches by AI researchers is that they are knowledge poor and cannot perform matching on a deep semantic level (Cohen and Kjeldsen, 1987; Burke et al., 1996).

 chair information site
Since most of the body weight is supported in the back of the seat, padding there should be firmer than the front of the seat which only has the weight of the legs to support.
In lieu of padding, flexible materials, such as wicker, may be used instead with similar effects of distributing the weight.

 Column - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In architecture and structural engineering, a column is that part of a structure whose purpose is to transmit through compression the weight of the structure.
It is often referred to as the masculine order because it is represented in the bottom level of the Colosseum, and was therefore considered to be able to hold more weight.
Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest.

 Wood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the more the wood substance the greater the weight, and the greater the weight the stronger the wood, chestnuts with wide rings must have stronger wood than chestnuts with narrow rings.
Wide-ringed wood is often called "second-growth", because the growth of the young timber in open stands after the old trees have been removed is more rapid than in trees in the forest, and in the manufacture of articles where strength is an important consideration such "second-growth" hardwood material is preferred.
In ring-porous woods the vessels of the early wood not infrequently appear on a finished surface as darker than the denser late wood, though on cross sections of heartwood the reverse is commonly true.

 Newton_(unit)
Since one definition of weight is the force acting between two objects due to gravity, the newton is also the unit of weight.
It was first used around 1904, but not until 1948 was it officially adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) as the name for the mks unit of force.
A newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one metre per second squared.

 Sousaphone bei eLexi - das Onlinelexikon
The sousaphone is a valved brass instrument with the same tube length as a tuba, but shaped differently so that the bell is above the head, the valves are situated directly in front of the musician a few inches above the waist, and the majority of the weight rests on one shoulder.
The tone is slightly inferior to the brass instrument, but the weight is much less, the cost is lower, and the sound is still acceptable in virtually any marching band performance.
In large marching bands, the bell is often covered with a tight fitting cloth which enables the sousaphone section to spell out the school's name, initials, or mascot.

 Statistics of Parsing Errors
The proposed disambiguation method is based on the frequencies of such combinations both in phrases of the text and in the parser errors, i.e., in the trees generated by the parser, but rejected by human proof-readers or another disambiguation procedure, or absent in the training corpus such as the Penn TreeBank.
The described method of disambiguation can be applied to sophisticated parsers or grammars, for which it is difficult to predict, or explain the reasons for, their errors, so that the only thing that can be done is statistical analysis of the observed behavior of the parser.
In the experiments, the results of disambiguation using the expression (12) were always better than the results obtained with the expression (8).

 Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Nylon
Above 20,000 daltons, it is impossible to spin the chains into yarn, so to combat this, some acetic acid is added to react with a free amine end group during polymer elongation to limit the molecular weight.
The water used to make the solution is evaporated under controlled conditions, and the increasing concentration of "salt" is polymerized to the final molecular weight.
It is difficult to get the proportions exactly correct, and deviations can lead to chain termination at molecular weights less than a desirable 10,000 daltons (amu).

 Force - free-definition
Further, an item with a weight of 10 lbf has a mass of 10 lbm and also a mass of 0.3108 slugs (= 10 lbm divided by 31.174 lbm per slug).
An item with a weight (on Earth at sea level) of 10 kgf has a mass of 10 kgm and also a mass of 1.01972661 metric slugs (= 10 kgm divided by 9.80655 kgm per metric slug).
This is the mass that accelerates at one metre per second squared when pushed by a force of one kgf.

 DISCUSSION
Although no explicit disambiguation is done, the WordNet-based term weight metric in Equation 2 decreases the weight of polysemantic words.
Another line of relevance feedback research is aimed at modifying the term weights in the document vectors (Ide and Salton, 1971; Brauen, 1971).
Typically, relevance feedback techniques require multiple retrieval interactions, each of which asks the client to state which of the retrieved results are relevant to the submitted question and which are not (Aalbersberg, 1992).

 All about Elevator - RecipeLand.com Reference library
Because the design is funicular, the cars counterbalance each other, and it's the weight of the two cars that does much of the work in moving them back and forth.
The weight of the car going down the bluff helps pull the other car at the bottom up to the top.
Local businessman J.K. Graves built an elevator in 1882 to carry him from his home at the top of the bluff to his office at the bottom.

     SABRE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    The combination of very high fuel efficiency and low mass engines means that a single stage to orbit, with airbreathing to mach 5.5+ for Skylon can be employed, reaching orbit with more payload per take-off weight than just about any non-nuclear launch vehicle ever proposed, and without staging.
    Overall, the thrust/weight ratio of SABRE ends several times higher than conventional jet engines; up to 14, compared to about 5 for conventional jet engines, and two for scramjets; whilst giving very good fuel efficiency- about 3000 seconds Specific Impulse.
    SABRE is a proposal for a hydrogen-fuelled airbreathing rocket engine/jet engine that is designed to propel the winged Skylon launch vehicle into orbit.

     Statistics of Parsing Errors
    For each phrase, a weight (or probability) of each variant is determined basing on the statistics of the features (constructions; in our case, subcategorization frames) in the language and in the wrong variants generated by the specific parser; the variant with the largest weight is considered the best.
    The proposed disambiguation method is based on the frequencies of such combinations both in phrases of the text and in the parser errors, i.e., in the trees generated by the parser, but rejected by human proof-readers or another disambiguation procedure, or absent in the training corpus such as the Penn TreeBank.

     CiteULike: Improving retrieval performance by relevance feedback
    The advantage of all probabilistic feedback models compared with the conventional vector modification methods, is that the feedback process is directly related to the derivation of a weight for query terms.
    Indeed, the document similarity function of expression (8) increases by a weighting factor of log[p,(l - u,)/u,(l - pi)] for each query term i that matches a document, and this term weight is optimal under the assumed conditions of term independence and binary document indexing.
