  Wikinfo | Zero
The numeral or digit zero is used in numeral systems, where the position of a digit signifies its value, with successive positions having higher values, and the digit zero is used to skip a position.
Zero may or may not be counted as a natural number, depending on the definition of natural numbers.
Zero is the identity element in an additive group or the additive identity of a ring.

 WORD SENSE DISAMBIGUATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The aim in supervised disambiguation is to build a classifier which correctly classifies new cases based on their context of use.
The basic inference in thesaurus-based disambiguation is that semantic categories of the words in a context determine the semantic category of that context as a whole.
Disambiguation is done by computing the semantic similarity between words and applying the heuristic rules based on this similarity.

 Roulette (Game) - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The roulette table, covered with a green cloth, is made up of precisely corresponding halves with a circular space let into the middle holding the wheel, on either side of which the cloth is divided into spaces marked passe, pair, manque, impair, and the fl and red diamonds.
A stake constantly played is called the quatre premiers, which includes zero, 1, 2 and 3, the stake being placed on the line where zero and 1 join passe, or where zero and 3 join manque.
Zero can also be played in combination with any one or two of its neighbours; if with one of them the stake is paid seventeen times, if with two of them eleven times.

 Force
Statics Where the sum of the forces acting on a body in static equilibrium (motionless, Acceleration=0) is zero.
Dynamics The sum of the forces acting on a body or system over time is non zero with a resulting set of accelerations defined by detailed analysis of equations derived from F=MA.
The total (Newtonian) force on a point particle at a certain instant in a specified situation is defined as the rate of change of its momentum:

The part of the compiler covered by this assignment deals with disambiguation of names, linking of the uses of local variables, fields, methods and constructors to their definitions, finding the types of all expressions, checking that the program is type correct and performing various normalising transformations on the AST.
If the first identifier of the name disambiguates into a local variable access, then a local variable with that name must be in scope at that point in the program.
If the first identifier of the name disambiguates into a non-static field access, then a non-static field with that name must be in scope in the class containing the access.

 Loglan 1: Chapter 1
In a certain sense Loglan has enabled the human translator of the original document to disambiguate that message, or it has forced him or her to do so by its requirement that, in Loglan at least, he or she be syntactically clear.
The other pressure is the "disambiguation burden" on the hearer: the number of possible, i.e., "grammatical", interpretations of a speaker's utterances among which his or her hearers are obliged to choose.
When, however, the disambiguation burden grows so large through these accretions as to become intolerable, this would lead once again to its reduction through either the further refinement of the grammatical grain of the lexicon ("lexemification") and/or to the addition of still more clarifying particles ("particlization").

 zero - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about zero
The word zero comes originally from the Hindi sunya, meaning ‘empty’, and travelled through Arabic (sifr), Latin (zephirum), eventually to become the English zero.
The Babylonians found a partial use for zero in their sexagesimal system, namely in medial positions (‘109’) but not in final positions (‘190’).
The need for zero arose, however, when a fully developed place value decimal system was developed by the Hindu-Arabic mathematicians in the 8th century

 Disambiguation Blog: Blogs vs Coke Astroturf Campaign   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The Zero Movement is an astroturf campaign by Coca Cola to sell a new sugar-free drink called "coca cola zero" in Australia.
I agree with Gary on a lot of things, but it was only a matter of time before there was an example of the blogosphere working in relation to the 'old media' media institutions to have a political effect.
I think the response to the 'zero movement' is an example of this happening as the negative attention from the internet community has seemingly contributed to Coke's action to change the zeromovement.com site.

 Zork Zero review
Not so in Steve Meretzky's followup, Zork Zero, a "prequel" that subordinated the adventure aspect to over-the-top camp--and while it works in many ways, fans of the austere feel of the original series may find it a bit jarring.
As if to showcase the parser's disambiguation abilities, in fact, the game includes two sets of scaled objects--for example, there is a large fly, a larger fly, an even larger fly, and the largest fly.
Given the amount of story underlying Zork Zero, it's strange how little of it comes out in the game (until the finale, anyway); it doesn't seem that it would have been impossible to discover interesting things about the Flatheads or about Megaboz that shape your quest and draw the player into finding out more.

 Ground zero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ground zero is the exact location on the ground where any explosion occurs.
The Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington, D.C. was thought of as the most likely target of a nuclear missile strike during the Cold War.
The origins of the term "Ground Zero" began with the so-called Manhattan Project and the nuclear bombing of Japan.

 Zero (Mega Man) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Zero's debut appearance of the first Mega Man X game, Zero was a gameplay extension of the main character, Mega Man X. He had a more powerful form of X's X-Buster weapon, called the Z-Buster, and a contrasting red color scheme to X's blue.
Light's hologram, Zero, in his dying breaths, gave his Z buster to X. The Z buster is functionally identical to the upgraded X buster, and is as such quite powerful.
Zero is separated from X after Shadow betrays them, and presumed dead, until he reappears some time later and attacks one of the rebelling Reploids in a mechaniloid factory.

 Entropy - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
This leads to Nernst's theorem, sometimes referred to as the third law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of a system at zero absolute temperature is a well-defined constant.
This is due to the fact that a system at zero temperature exists in its ground state, so that its entropy is determined by the degeneracy of the ground state.
This is due to the fact that the molecular crystal lattice of ice exhibits geometrical frustration, and thus possesses a non-vanishing "zero-point" entropy at arbitrarily low temperatures.

A person realizes their own genius to a greater and greater extent to the point where they can understand another person or group's point-of-view well enough to communicate their genius to that specific person or group of people in the person or group's own form or style of language.
The challenge is for each genius to figure out how to communicate that genius to and with other people on gradually lower and lower levels of intellectual capability in order to communicate with as many people as possible in each moment or as necessary.

An algorithm that resolves this ambiguity, by using steerable quadrature filters, is called "quadrature disambiguation".
Assume that, at the scale of interest, the portion of the image within the receptive field consists of an edge or a bar (perhaps with contrast = 0).

 Quaternion
Thus in the context of quaternions a vector is a quaternion with zero for its scalar part.
The conjugation by a unit quaternion (a quaternion of absolute value 1) with real part cos(t) is a rotation by an angle 2t, the axis of the rotation being the direction of the imaginary part.
If two quaternions with zero scalar parts are multiplied, the scalar part of the product is the negative of the dot product of the vector parts, while the vector part of the product is the cross product.

The volume of a solid object is a numerical value given to describe the three-dimensional concept of how much space it occupies.
One-dimensional objects (such as lines) and two-dimensional objects (such as squares) are assigned zero volume in the three-dimensional space.
Mathematically, volumes are defined by means of integral calculus, by approximating the given body with a large amount of small cubes, and adding the volumes of those cubes.

Small problems aside, this is certainly one of the best of this year's competition, and without a doubt one of the most consistently enjoyable; even with the gameplay problems, I still thought it merited a 9.
Zero Sum Game's gimmick is one that works best the first time it is used -- too bad this game did such a poor job of using it.
(Zork Zero does employ one of the niftiest transportation devices in all of Infocom, though, and though the game area is fairly vast, proper use of the device can keep the player moving around it at a rapid rate.) Technically, Zork Zero is spectacular.
