File Formats FILE FORMATS The GIS data available from this site are provided in different formats. Many of the data files have also been zipped for compression. Below is a brief description of each type of file format you may find on this site. ESRI_e00 This is an ESRI Arc Export transfer format that allows spatial and descriptive information for vector and raster data to be combined into a single ASCII file. The file will only work with ESRI software. ESRI_grid This is an ESRI proprietary file format of the ESRI Arc/Info Grid product. It can also be used and created within the spatial analyst extension of ArcView 3.x. ESRI_shp This is an ESRI shapefile that consists of three component files for each feature class compressed into one. Each file in the set shares the shapefile name with a different extension. The main file (*.shp) stores the geometry and must always have an index file (*.shx). A dBASE file (*.dbf) stores all the attributes of the shapes in the main file. All three files are required for proper loading into GIS software that reads the shapefile format. .TAR These are files compressed and bundled under a tar archive (TAR), which is a file containing multiple other files. This type of file can be expanded using many of the same unzip programs that will extract ZIP files (see below). These files should be downloaded to your hard drive before they are expanded. .TIFF The Tagged Interchange (Image) File Format (TIFF) is an industry-standard for raster data storage and transfer across operating systems and applications. .ZIP Most of our data files are compressed using the ZIP format. Each compressed file may contain one file or multiple files. Zipped files can be extracted using a variety of unzip programs such as; WinZip, PowerArchiver and Stuffit. The Unix commands for upzip and uncompress can also extract files. These files should be downloaded to your hard drive before they are expanded. .

By generating re- dundancies, the concealing algorithm proposed by Kencl and Loebl [?], appears at first glance to be particularly designed to be combined with a compression scheme [?]. Is the output of the concealing algorithm actually compressible? We have tried 16 compression techniques on 1 120 files, and the result is that we have not found a solution which could advantageously use repetitions of the concealing method. Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Luk´aˇsKencl, for his guidance and expertise throughout the course of this work. I would like to thank Prof. Robert Beˇst´akand Mr Pierre Runtz, for giving me the opportunity to carry out my internship at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

When it comes to digital steganography no stone should be left unturned in the search for viable hidden data. Although digital steganography is commonly used to hide data inside multimedia files, a similar approach can be used to hide data in archives as well. Steganography imposes the following data hiding rule: Data must be hidden in such a fashion that the user has no clue about the hidden message or file's existence. This can be achieved by

    Comunicado 23 ISSN 1415-2118 Abril, 2007 Técnico Campinas, SP Armazenagem e transporte de arquivos extensos André Luiz dos Santos Furtado Fernando Antônio de Pádua Paim Resumo O crescimento no volume de informações transportadas por um mesmo indivíduo ou por uma equipe é uma tendência mundial e a cada dia somos confrontados com mídias de maior capacidade de armazenamento de dados. O objetivo desse comunicado é explorar algumas possibilidades destinadas a permitir a divisão e o transporte de arquivos de grande volume. Neste comunicado, tutoriais para o Winrar, 7-zip, ALZip, programas destinados a compactação de arquivos, são apresentados. É descrita a utilização do Hjsplit, software livre, que permite a divisão de arquivos. Adicionalmente, são apresentados dois sites, o rapidshare e o mediafire, destinados ao compartilhamento e à hospedagem de arquivos. 1. Introdução O crescimento no volume de informações transportadas por um mesmo indivíduo ou por uma equipe é uma tendência mundial. No início da década de 90, mesmo nos países desenvolvidos, um computador com capacidade de armazenamento de 12 GB era inovador. As fitas magnéticas foram substituídas a partir do anos 50, quando a IBM lançou o primogenitor dos atuais discos rígidos, o RAMAC Computer, com a capacidade de 5 MB, pesando aproximadamente uma tonelada (ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO, 2006; PCWORLD, 2006) (Figs. 1 e 2). Figura 1 - Transporte do disco rígido do RAMAC Computer criado pela IBM em 1956, com a capacidade de 5 MB. 2 Figura 2 - Sala de operação do RAMAC Computer. Após três décadas, os primeiros computadores pessoais possuíam discos rígidos com capacidade significativamente superior ao RAMAC, algo em torno de 10 MB, consumiam menos energia, custavam menos e, obviamente, tinham uma massa que não alcançava 100 quilogramas.

  • How to 'Zip and Unzip' Files
    How to 'zip and unzip' files The Windows 10 operating system provides a very easy way to zip-up any file (or folder) you want by using a utility program called 7-zip (Seven Zip). The program is integrated in the context menu which you get when you right-click on anything selected. Here are the basic steps you need to take in order to: Zip a file and create an archive 1. Open a folder in your machine and select any file (by clicking on it once). I selected a single file called 'how-to send an email.docx' 2. Now right click the mouse to have the context menu appear 3. In the context menu you should be able to see some commands like the capture below 4. Since we want to zip up the file you need to select one of the bottom two options a. 'Add to archive' will actually open up a dialog of the 7-zip application and will give you the opportunity to customise the archive. b. 'Add to how-to send an email.zip' is actually the quickest way possible to create an archive. The software uses the name of the file and selects a default compression scheme (.zip) so that you can, with two clicks, create a zip archive containing the original file. 5. Now you can use the 'how-to send an email.zip' file and send it as a 'smaller' email attachment. Now consider that you have just received (via email) the 'how-to send an email.zip' file and you need to get (the correct phrase is extract) the file it contains.

    “FORM EVER FOLLOWS FUNCTION”:* USING TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE FEEDBACK ON STUDENT WRITING IN LAW SCHOOL Daniel L. Barnett† I. INTRODUCTION Critiquing student papers is an important responsibility of many law professors, including those who teach first-year and advanced legal- writing courses and professors who teach courses that include writing assignments.1 Providing feedback on student writing is time consuming and intellectually challenging.2 In most situations, the professor must * The aesthetic credo that “form follows function” comes from the following quote by the American architect, Louis Sullivan: It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all this physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things super-human of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expresion, that form ever follows function. This is the law.
