Data compression. In information theory, data compression, source coding, [1] or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. [2] Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.
The fission products of this chain reaction heat the highly compressed (and thus super dense) thermonuclear fuel surrounding the spark plug to around 300 million kelvin, igniting fusion reactions between fusion fuel nuclei. In modern weapons fueled by lithium deuteride, the fissioning plutonium spark plug also emits free neutrons that collide ...
Compression artifacts in compressed audio typically show up as ringing, pre-echo, "birdie artifacts", drop-outs, rattling, warbling, metallic ringing, an underwater feeling, hissing, or "graininess". An example of compression artifacts in audio is applause in a relatively highly compressed audio file (e.g. 96 kbit/sec MP3).
Unix-like. RPM files consist of metadata concatenated with (usually) a cpio archive. Newer RPM systems also support other archives, as cpio is becoming obsolete. cpio is also used with initramfs. .shar. application/x-shar. Shell archive. Unix-like. A self-extracting archive that uses the Bourne shell (sh). .LBR.
A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms, though DEFLATE is the most common. This format was originally created in 1989 and was first implemented in PKWARE, Inc. 's PKZIP utility, [2] as a replacement for the previous ARC compression ...
compress (software) compress is a Unix shell compression program based on the LZW compression algorithm. [1] Compared to gzip 's fastest setting, compress is slightly slower at compression, slightly faster at decompression, and has a significantly lower compression ratio. [2] 1.8 MiB of memory is used to compress the Hutter Prize data, slightly ...
Hardboard is similar to particle board and medium-density fiberboard, but is denser, stronger and harder because it is made out of exploded wood fibers that have been highly compressed. [3] The density of hardboard is higher than 500 kg/m 3 (31 lb/cu ft), [4] usually about 800–1,040 kg/m 3 (50–65 lb/cu ft). [5]
Video can be compressed immensely (e.g., 100:1) with little visible quality loss; Audio can often be compressed at 10:1 with almost imperceptible loss of quality; Still images are often lossily compressed at 10:1, as with audio, but the quality loss is more noticeable, especially on closer inspection.
