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)].
The JPEG standard specifies the codec, which defines how an image is compressed into a stream of bytes and decompressed back into an image, but not the file format used to contain that stream. The Exif and JFIF standards define the commonly used formats for interchange of JPEG-compressed images. A JPG file consists of a sequence of segments, each beginning with a marker, each of which begins with a 0xFF byte followed by a byte indicating what kind of marker it is. Some markers consist of just those two bytes; others are followed by two bytes indicating the length of marker-specific payload data that follows.
