Developing a Vocabulary of Feeling: The Spirituality of Black Feminist Self-Repair
… can be a useful component of Black feminist self-repair. Within the scope of Black women’s literary history, I argue that Morrison, Spillers, and Walker each functioned as three figures from Afrodiasporic spiritual traditions: the griot, the conjurer, and the medium, respectively. This …

An engineering analysis of natural and biomimetic self-repair processes for solar energy harvesting
… have evolved highly sophisticated mechanisms of self-repair to regenerate proteins that become photo-damaged over time. Key to this self-repair process is the reversible self-assembly of protein complexes, which is characterized by the molecular recognition of parts, kinetic trapping of …

Characterizing the Impact of Freshwater Salinization on Engineered Ecosystems: Implications for Performance, Resilience, and Self-Repair Through Phytoremediation
Stormwater detention basins are commonly used in the Eastern United States to temporarily store and attenuate stormwater runoff, and also serve as habitats for native and exotic plants. However, during winter, these basins receive saline runoff from road salt application, which contributes to …

Reinforced concrete : applicability of smart materials
… which can provide sensing, actuation or self-repair. Three different smart materials were studied including self-healing concrete which provides self-repair, shape memory alloys as reinforcement for reinforced concrete which provides actuation and carbon fiber reinforced concrete which …

Design methods for self-repairing digital logic
A systematic approach for the design of self-testable, self-correcting, self-repairing and self-healing digital systems was proposed. This self-test/self-repair methodology is accomplished autonomously, in a distributed fashion, so that it can scale as the size of the system grows. Modular …

Synthesis and Development of Novel Cyclobutane Mechanophores
… could then be utilized for localized self-healing or self-repair of polymer composites. To date there have been few attempts at systematically investigating the effects of mechanophore structure upon rates of activation. Through the synthesis and study of a systematic series of …

Calcium Carbonate Formation in Water Distribution Systems and Autogenous Repair of Leaks by Inert Particle Clogging
… can be beneficial and stop pipeline leaks via self-repair or clogging. Ironically, the actions we are taking to increase the lifespan of distribution systems (i.e. adding corrosion inhibitors) might have worsened leaks and pipe lifespans due to interference with self-repair. The increasing …

Repair in the context of theater rehearsals : a conversation analytic approach
… points: - similarities and differences between repair in everyday talk-in-interaction and repair in the context of theater rehearsals - asymmetrical relationship between director, prompter, and actors - impact of the asymmetrical relationship between director and actors on their specific repair …

Evaluation of novel autonomous self-healing polymer composite
Autonomous self-healing materials offer a novel ability to self-repair damage caused by fatigue or fracture. Applications in many industries, from medical to aerospace, suffer from formation of microcracks, which often result in catastrophic failure of the product when the cracks remain undetected. …

A design for self-assembling robots in a system
… control, and application for a novel concept of self-assembling robots in a system. The system is composed of multiple cooperative robots that are designed to self-assemble in a system, execute manipulative tasks, and self-repair, all without human assistance. The self-assembling feature employs …

Interfacing living plants with nanomaterials for in planta sensing and plant biotechnology applications
… an important biological system which can self-repair, grow autonomously and generate energy from sunlight and photosynthesis. As sessile organisms, they have evolved complex internal and inter-organism signaling pathways with distinct structures to thrive in ever-changing and at times …

Passive, Self-Healable, Dielectric Elastomers for Structural Health Monitoring
… This work seeks to synthesize and fabricate a self-healable, passive, dielectric elastomer impact sensor for structural health monitoring on inflatable space structures subject to impact by micrometeoroids and orbital debris. In a setting in which impact repairs can be extremely costly, the …

Cellular And Mechano-Active Material Approaches To Improve Disc Repair After Herniation
… the disc failed to develop mechanisms for self-repair. Instead, cell apoptosis and inflammation after injury lead to the loss of extracellular matrix and further compromise disc function. Furthermore, adult disc cells are sparse and have decreased biosynthetic abilities. Disc herniations, …

Fabrication and buckling of thin spherical shells containing precise geometric imperfections
… a defect. We find that the bilayer shell can self-repair or self-aggravate the geometric imperfections due to residual swelling. Hence, the critical buckling pressure can be increased or decreased over time depending on the order of coating of each polymer layer. The fabrication technique and …
