The fungus that causes dry rot in North America is called Meruliporia incrassata (also sometimes called Poria incrassata). This pore fungus feeds on the cells of the wood that give it strength and stability.
JPEG. 1. a set of standards and file format for compression of digital images. 2. a digital image compressed in this format. [1990â95; J (oint) P (hotographic) E (xperts) G roup)].
Image files that employ JPEG compression are commonly called JPEG files. The most common file extension for this format is .jpg, though .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif and .jif are also used. It is also possible for JPEG data to be embedded in other file types, such as TIFF format images.JPEG/JFIF is the format most used for storing and transmitting photographs on the World Wide Web.PEG should not be confused with MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) which produces compression schemes for video. JPEG itself specifies both the codec, which defines how an image is compressed into a stream of bytes and decompressed back into an image, and the file format used to contain that stream.
