		Chunk types are chosen to be meaningful names when the bytes of the chunk type are interpreted as ISO 646 letters.
		Chunks which are horizontally aligned and appear between two other chunk types (higher and lower than the horizontally aligned chunks) may appear in any order between the two higher and lower chunk types to which they are connected.
		The cHRM chunk may be used to specify the 1931 CIE x,y chromaticities of the red, green, and blue display primaries used in the image, and the referenced white point.

	Memory Chunks
		Memory Chunks — efficient way to allocate groups of equal-sized chunks of memory.
		Memory chunks provide an efficient way to allocate equal-sized pieces of memory, called atoms.
		The disadvantage of this is that the memory chunk has to keep track of which atoms have been freed.

	MODx Content Management System \| Adding Chunks
		Chunks are simply blocks of plain text or (X)HTML markup that is inserted directly into your page at the location you place the tags.
		Give the chunk a name and a brief description, then enter the text or HTML code you wish to have included in your document.
		Chunks are useful for any content or HTML markup that you might want to repeat in different pages or different templates.

	On grasping "Chunks"
		One thought I had was that "Chunks" seem to be what I understand as performing a function similar to an "Include" in PHP (http://au2.php.net/include/) or Apache http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html or even the include bot in good old FrontPage 2003.
		Chunks may often be used for header or footer code that stays the same throughout the site.
		Though others, like sottwell, will use chunks to form the basis of their templates, and then built templates out of the various chunks.

	Wood Chips and Chunks
		Wood chips and chunks are a lot more convenient, not only because they are sold at the hardware store but because their small size is better suited to most grilling tasks.
		That said, chunks are usually the size of a lemon or small orange; chips are thinner shards, more like the fine wood chips you might spread over a garden bed.
		The number of chunks used will effect the flavor of food, but the type of wood is not crucial.

	Chunking (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At a time when information theory was beginning to be applied in psychology, Miller observed that whereas some human cognitive tasks fit the model of a "channel capacity" characterized by a roughly constant capacity in bits, short-term memory did not.
		Naive subjects can only remember about nine binary items, but Miller reports a 1954 experiment in which people were trained to listen to a string of binary digits and (in one case) mentally group them into groups of five, recode each group into a name (e.g "twenty-one" for 10101), and remember the names.
		The phenomenon of chunking as a memory mechanism can be observed in the way we group numbers and information in our day-to-day life.

	Moist pet food with blood chunks and a fluid gravy system - Patent 4247562
		the blood-based, meat-like chunks comprising 10 percent to 50 percent by weight of the pet food and the gravy system comprising from 50 to 90 percent and wherein the moist pet food is readily pourable.
		While blood-based chunks may be added at levels from 10-50 percent of the top dressing, the preferred addition of blood based chunks to the gravy system is from 20-40 percent of the total.
		The retort-stable blood-based chunk is formed by mixing gum with the chunk and heating the mixure sufficiently to coagulate the blood and thereby solidify the mixture.

	Parchive "parity Chunks" For A More Robust Network - Official eMule-Board
		AFAIK, RS codes are able to correct N/2 errors using a parity chunk of dimension N. That means, to be able to reconstruct a complete missing chunk you need 2 different parity chunks of the size of the missing one.
		If no chunks were actually missing it could be used as something of a "wild card" chunk where you wouldn't have to actually transfer the final chunk of the file in order to reconstruct the whole thing.
		Now, you already have n-1 chunks, but there's an n+1th chunk, so instead of dropping the extra source, you ask for the extra chunk(order is of no consequence, after all, you can't say "I've already started n, must keep the last one empty").

	Element Ordering in Discontiguous Chunks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Clients with discontiguous regions in their variable-sized chunks may discover that the library stores their data on disk in a way they don't wish.
		For example, if the chunks for a dataset are discontiguous and non-overlapping, and are defined like this: (the number inside each element is the order that the element would be transferred between memory and the file.)
		This is not terribly confusing or suprising for this arrangement of chunks, but suppose the client has the following set of overlapping chunks, probably from a finite-element or finite difference code: (see here for a view of the individual chunks for this diagram)

	chunking principle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Chunking is a principle that applies to the effective communication of information between human beings.
		All information intended for human consumption should be presented in units that do not exceed the chunking limit.
		By chunking information the author improves the reader's comprehension and ability to access and retrieve the information.

	Variable-sized, Irregular and Overlapping Chunks in HDF5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Currently we require all chunks for a dataset to have three major requirements: that they are identical in shape (# of dimensions and the dimension sizes), they are non-overlapping and they are "regular" in their shape.
		We would like to expand support for chunked datasets to allow chunks for a dataset to not be all the identical size.
		Defining chunks one at a time allows to the possibility that there are elements in the dataset's dataspace which are not covered by any chunks.

	HTML::Chunks - A simple nested template engine for HTML, XML and XHTML
		$chunk may be either a scalar or reference to a scalar.
		If you are using chunks for something whitespace sensitive like email generation, you should turn this off to have chunks output exactly as they are defined.
		For instance, if you output a chunk from within a data element handling routine, any data that was defined for the parent chunk will also be available to the chunk currently being output.

	Calibration Systematics: Average over chunks
		The alpha, beta parameters for the chunk is calculated as the average of the values available in the calibration frames that lie within the chunk.
		From the high amplitude line results, we see that both L1 and H1, the width of the chunk-alphas is the same as the width for the minute-alphas (10% for L1, 5% for H1): this is not consistent with either a random measurement error in the minute-alphas or white noise true fluctuations in alpha.
		Also from the high amplitude line results, we see that for both L1 and H1 the width of standard deviations of minute-alphas in the chunks, and the width of the difference of consecutive values of minute-alphas are consistent with random fluctuations of minute-alphas in each chunk, equal to 0.6% in L1, and 2% in H1.

	Mmmm, chunks (kottke.org)
		Some new research is showing that the number of things humans can hold in our heads while solving problems is fairly small, three or four things at the most.
		I wonder how much the process of learning is just chunking task variables into larger and larger bits, building layers of abstraction the way a programmer might build an OO program.

	Nonlinear Time Series Analysis and Self-Organizing Cognition
		That the perceptual chunk is simultaneously temporal and atemporal is the essence of all phenomenological weirdness -- the "twistiness of being," one might call it.
		In order for intelligence to be possible, the inferred relationships between the temporal chunks extracted from sensory projections of the environment has got to mimic, approximately, the actual relationships between the states of the environment corresponding to the formation of the temporal chunks.
		On the other hand, chunks that are too long relative to the lifespan and overall memory capacity of the intelligent system will be of no use, because it will be impossible to carry out statistically significant reasoning in regard to these chunks.

	Writing for the Web: Chunks
		A chunk can be defined as a text that fully conveys a single idea.
		Anything that veers away from the single central idea of the chunk should be moved to a different chunk.
		If a chunk can be considered the text in between two such switchings, then most narrative chunks are between 200 and 350 words long.
