His structures echo natural forms, with columns like tree trunks supporting branching vaulting under the roadway, and the curves of vaulting and alignment of sloping columns designed in a similar way to his Church of Colònia Güell so that the inverted catenary arch shapes form perfect compression structures.

Many file archivers employ archive formats that provide lossless data compression to reduce the size of the archive which is often useful for transferring a large number of individual files over a high latency network like the Internet.

Unlike integrated archival and compression tools like PKZIP, WinZip, and WinRAR, the Unix tools ar, tar, cpio ( for " archiver ", " tape archiver " and " copy in / out " respectively ) act as archivers but not compressors.

Instead the broadcast can use the channel to include PSIP and can also subdivide across several video subchannels ( aka feeds ) of varying quality and compression rates, including non-video datacasting services that allow one-way high-bandwidth streaming of data to computers like National Datacast.

The above equation for the bit rate can be rewritten by combining the compression factor and the color depth like this:

Applying video compression algorithms like MPEG1, MPEG2 or MPEG4 allows for fractional BPP values.

Many media transforms, such as Gaussian blur, are, like lossy compression, irreversible: the original signal cannot be reconstructed from the transformed signal.

Some image file formats, like PNG or GIF, use only lossless compression, while others like TIFF and MNG may use either lossless or lossy methods.

MPEG-2 is considered important because it has been chosen as the compression scheme for over-the-air digital television ATSC, DVB and ISDB, digital satellite TV services like Dish Network, digital cable television signals, SVCD and DVD Video.

Early fusion research generally followed two major lines of study ; devices that were based on momentary compression of the fusion fuel to high densities, like the pinch devices being studied primarily in the UK, and devices that used lower densities but longer confinement times, like the magnetic mirror and stellarator.

While the compression used in audio recording and the like depends on a variable-gain amplifier, and so is a locally linear process ( linear for short regions, but not globally ), companding is non-linear and takes place in the same way at all points in time.

The above discussion is based on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, and does not take into account real-world effects like frictional pressure drop in the system, slight thermodynamic irreversibility during the compression of the refrigerant vapor, or non-ideal gas behavior ( if any ).

* A study about image compression ( Image compression basics and comparing different compression methods like JPEG2000, JPEG and JPEG XR / HD Photo )

Transform coding is a type of data compression for " natural " data like audio signals or photographic images.

Channels can be grouped in cases like stereo and 5. 1 channel surround to take advantage of interchannel correlations to increase compression.

As this uses direct fuel injection it can be made not to use oil or crankcase compression, much like a 2T diesel.

With compression, I found I could hold a note for three or four seconds, and sound more like a wind instrument.

Injury to the optic nerve can be the result of congenital or inheritable problems like Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, glaucoma, trauma, toxicity, inflammation, ischemia, infection ( very rarely ), or compression from tumors or aneurysms.

The typical flattening of the decay directly after the attack is because of the audio design of the oscillator and appears like a compression.

The Layer III ( MP3 ) component uses a lossy compression algorithm that was designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent an audio recording and sound like a decent reproduction of the original uncompressed audio for most listeners.

He had strength in his six-foot frame, but it was like the tensile steel in a rapier.

Or, what was worse, she prayed for him out loud at bedtime: `` Please, Lord Gord, please give my brother the strength to go swimming like he promised ''.

h corresponds to the strength of the β-lactam bond with lower numbers ( more planar ; more like ideal amides ) being stronger and less reactive.

Nineveh is ironically compared with a lion, in reference to the lion as an Assyrian symbol of power ; Nineveh is the lion of strength that has a den full of dead prey but will become weak like the lion hiding in its den.

Influenced like Pound by German social and legal thinkers, Ely in 1903 had ascribed " the coercion of economic forces " in American society " to the unequal strength of those who make a contract.

It was paintings like these, depicting the great strength of patriotic sacrifice, that made David a popular hero of the revolution.

Mostly, animals were painted, not only animals that were used as food but also animals that represented strength like the rhinoceros or large Felidae, as in the Chauvet Cave.

Although developmental debates took place within the Workers ' Party of Korea in the 1950s, North Korea, like all the postwar communist states, undertook massive state investment in heavy industry, state infrastructure and military strength, neglecting the production of consumer goods.

While most of a Pteranodon flight would have depended on soaring, like long-winged seabirds, it probably required an occasional active, rapid burst of flapping, and studies of Pteranodon wing loading ( the strength of the wings vs. the weight of the body ) indicate that they were capable of substantial flapping flight, contrary to some earlier suggestions that they were so big they could only glide.

But like the Bears, the Patriots main strength on offense was their rushing attack.

The sound waves can be digitized: Sample a strength at short intervals like in picture above to get bunch of numbers that approximate at each time step the strength of a wave.

The UAE believes that the Arab League needs to be restructured to become a viable institution and would like to increase strength and interoperability of the GCC defense forces.

A character's performance in battle is determined by numerical values (" statistics ") for categories like speed, strength and magical power.

More traditional elements of political authority — such as Sufi networks, royal lineage, clan strength, age-based wisdom, and the like — still exist and play a role in Afghan society.

Sometimes they hold the secret of ancient techniques and wisdom unknown to the Christians, like in the legend of San Martin Txiki, while their most outstanding feature is their strength.

The ego represents what may be called reason and common sense, in contrast to the id, which contains the passions ... in its relation to the id it is like a man on horseback, who has to hold in check the superior strength of the horse ; with this difference, that the rider tries to do so with his own strength, while the ego uses borrowed forces.

During travel it stops naturally and periodically when renewing its internal hydraulic blood pressure that, like most spiders, it requires to renew strength in the legs.

The strength of players like Brad Park, Jean Ratelle, Vic Hadfield and Rod Gilbert ( the last three constructing the famed GAG line meaning " goal-a-game ") would still carry them through the playoffs.

* face The god Osiris-Antinous, the justified – he grew into a youth with a beautiful countenance and magnificently adorned eyes [...] strength, whose heart rejoices like a demi-god ’ s after he has received a command of the gods at the time of his death.

This LP reached # 7 on the national charts on the strength of songs like the ballad " In My Room ", later released as a single ; " Catch a Wave "; and " Little Deuce Coupe ", which was released as a double-sided single with the album's title track, both top-15 hits.

" For while innovation is of great benefit to the arts and sciences, " change in an art is not like change in law ; for law has no strength with respect to obedience apart from habit, and this is not created except over a period of time.

Lenticular blades are shaped like thin doubly convex lenses, providing adequate thickness for strength in the center while allowing a proper cutting edge.
