  2. Bionics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionics

    Since the bionic ear, many bionic devices have emerged and work is progressing on bionics solutions for other sensory disorders (e.g. vision and balance). Bionic research has recently provided treatments for medical problems such as neurological and psychiatric conditions, for example Parkinson's disease and epilepsy. [23]

  3. Bionic architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_architecture

    The classifications of bionic architecture are: [12] Arch form structure: inspired by an animal's spinal column, thereby creating a more stiff and rigid building. Thin shell structure: inspired by various crustaceans and skulls due to its ability to distribute internal force across its surface area. Buildings that employ this style are ...

  4. Chiastic structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiastic_structure

    Chiastic structure, or chiastic pattern, is a literary technique in narrative motifs and other textual passages. An example of chiastic structure would be two ideas, A and B, together with variants A' and B', being presented as A,B,B',A'. Chiastic structures that involve more components are sometimes called "ring structures" or "ring compositions".

  5. Biorobotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorobotics

    Biorobotics is an interdisciplinary science that combines the fields of biomedical engineering, cybernetics, and robotics to develop new technologies that integrate biology with mechanical systems to develop more efficient communication, alter genetic information, and create machines that imitate biological systems.

  6. Missing letter effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_letter_effect

    When readers take part in the letter detection task and are given a connected text to read, there are less letter detection errors of a target letter (for example ‘t’) when it is situated as the initial letter of a word (e.g. tree) compared to when it is embedded into words (e.g. path). [21]

  7. Biotic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotic_material

    Biotic material or biological derived material is any material that originates from living organisms.Most such materials contain carbon and are capable of decay.. The earliest form of life on Earth arose at least 3.5 billion years ago.

  8. Rhetorical structure theory - Wikipedia

    An analysis is usually built by reading the text and constructing a tree using the relations. The following example is a title and summary, appearing at the top of an article in Scientific American magazine (Ramachandran and Anstis, 1986). The original text, broken into numbered units, is: [3] Diagram of RST analysis

  9. Bionic Leaf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_Leaf

    The Bionic Leaf is a biomimetic system that gathers solar energy via photovoltaic cells that can be stored or used in a number of different functions. Bionic leaves can be composed of both synthetic ( metals , ceramics , polymers , etc.) and organic materials ( bacteria ), or solely made of synthetic materials.
