The fundamental requirement for the autonomous capsule-based self-healing process to work is that cracks need to reach the capsules and break them such that the healing agent can be released. Ignoring all other aspects, the amount of healing agents released into the crack is essential to obtain a good healing. Meanwhile, from the perspective of the capsule shapes, spherical or elongated capsule...

A pleochroic MOF is ferroelastic under high pressure, but it not affected by temperature changes. The transition pressure depends on the guest and environment. crystals are capable of self-healing normal conditions.

The SOCRATES (Self-Optimisation and self-ConfiguRATion in wirelEss networkS) project aims at the development of self-organisation methods for LTE radio networks. Self-organisation comprises self-optimisation, self-configuration and self-healing. Within this document a framework, or guidelines, are laid out that are to be the basis for the development of self-organisation functionalities within ...

The ARINC-653 standard architecture for flight software specifies an application executive (APEX) which furnishes an application programming interface of fifty-one routines. APEX enables the development of portable applications, providing a strict time and space partitioning for their execution along with intraand inter-partition communication facilities. This architecture also defines a hierar...

Using a Burkean framework (1969), this article approaches medical dramas as cultural texts to be read for dominant meanings of health and health care. Burke's representative anecdote illuminates the melding of science, technology, and healing in popular discourses of health, establishing technological intervention as the norm and marginalizing nontechnological (i.e., alternative) forms of healt...

We propose and analyze a generalized self-healing key distribution using vector space access structure in order to reach more flexible performance of the scheme. Our self-healing technique enables better performance gain over previous approaches in terms of storage, communication and computation complexity. We provide rigorous treatment of security of our scheme in an appropriate security frame...

abstract background: pressure ulcer is one of the main concerns of nurses in medical centers around the world, which, if untreated, causes irreparable problems for patients. in recent years, nitric oxide (no) has been proposed as an effective method for wound healing. this study was conducted to determine the effect of nitric oxide on pressure ulcer healing. materials and methods: in this clini...

Modern systems must guarantee high reliability, availability, and efficiency. Their complexity, exacerbated by the dynamic integration with other systems, the use of thirdparty services and the various different environments where they run, challenges development practices, tools and testing techniques. Testing cannot identify and remove all possible faults, thus faulty conditions may escape ve...
