Other uses Volume disambiguation Unreferenced date December 2009 A volume is a term in data compression for a file that has been compressed and split into different parts. There are many advantages in having a compression utility with the ability for compression into volumes. First, it allows an individual to download the file in segments at his or her own pace. As well if there is a corruption only one volume is affected instead of the whole which can be corrected using parity file s. Second, it allows compression to a volume size compatible with removable media. For example, compressing a backup into 700MB chunks for easy storage on CDs.

For fractures in rocks and minerals per se , see Fracture geology In the field of mineralogy , fracture is a term used to describe the shape and texture of the surface formed when a mineral is fracture fractured . Minerals often have a highly distinctive fracture, making it a principal feature used in their identification. Fracture differs from Cleavage crystal cleavage in that the latter involves clean splitting along the cleavage planes of the mineral s crystal structure , as opposed to more general breakage. All minerals exhibit fracture, but when very strong cleavage is present, it can be difficult to see. Terminology Conchoidal fracture Image ObsidianOregon.jpg thumb left 180px Obsidian Conchoidal fracture is a curved breakage that resembles the concentric ripples of a mussel shell.

Unreferenced date December 2009 An intergranular fracture is a fracture that follows the grain s of the material. If the material has multiple crystal structure lattice organizations, when one lattice ends and another begins, the fracture changes direction to follow the new grain. This results in a fairly jagged looking fracture with bumpy edges. Intergranular fractures are cracks that take place along the grain boundary of a material. Straight edges of the grain and shiny surface may be seen. There are several processes that can lead to intergranular fracture. Microvoid nucleation and coalescence at inclusions or second phase particles located along grain boundaries Grain boundary crack and cavity formation associated with elevated temperature stress rupture condition. Decohesion between contiguous grain due to presence of impurity at grain boundaries and in the presence of hydrogen and liquid metals. Stress corrosion cracking associated with chemical dissolution along grain boundaries. Cyclic loading when the material insufficient number of independent slip systems to accommodate plastic deformation between contiguous grain leading to grain boundaries. Think of several wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces with the grains showing, but with each piece having grains running in a different direction. A Transgranular fracture follows the grains in the wood, not the edges of the puzzle pieces This is opposed to a Transgranular fracture .

In telecommunication , the term signal compression has the following meanings In analog usually audio systems, reduction of the dynamic range of a Signalling telecommunication signal by controlling it as a function of the inverse relationship of its instantaneous value relative to a specified reference level. Signal compression is usually expressed in decibel dB . Instantaneous values of the input signal that are low, relative to the reference level, are increased, and those that are high are decreased. Signal compression is usually accomplished by separate devices called compressors. It is used for many purposes, such as a improving signal to noise ratios prior to digitizing an analog signal for transmission telecommunications transmission over a digital carrier system , b preventing overload of succeeding elements of a system, or c matching the dynamic ranges of two devices. Signalling telecommunication Signal compression in dB may be a linear or nonlinear function of the signal level across the frequency band radio band of interest and may be essentially instantaneous or have fixed or variable delay times. Signal compression always introduces distortion , which is usually not objectionable, if the compression is limited to a few dB.
