#abil
- Self-sustainable — Capable of maintaining, financing, or developing itself through its own resources, without depending on external support, subsidies, or logistical interventions. Although the simple adapted term exists, the hyphenated compound form 'auto-sustenabil' is heavily used in modern corporate language, environmental projects, and business strategies to emphasize the absolute autonomy of a system, not listed separately in the main dexonline body.
- To incriminate oneself — To attribute to oneself, publicly or before a judicial authority, the commission of a criminal offense, a mistake, or a fault; to accuse oneself voluntarily, either out of moral considerations, under the pressure of an intense feeling of guilt, or within certain psychological disorders.
- Self-adhesive — Possessing a surface coated with a special sticky substance (adhesive), capable of tightly fixing itself by simple pressure or contact onto another substrate (paper, plastic, wall) without requiring prior moistening or the application of an external glue layer.
- Automated costing — An automated method or process of determining production costs, estimated prices, or budgets using an integrated software system, without manual intermediate calculations. In modern financial management, it represents the autonomous generation of a cost structure for a product or service.
- Self-consumption — The direct consumption by a producer (individual, household, or company) of the goods, products, or energy they have generated through own resources, without placing them on the commercial market. In the modern context of energy transition, the term describes the utilization of electricity produced locally by photovoltaic panels or wind turbines directly at the production site.
- Carbonless — Allowing the automatic creation of a copy on the underlying sheet at the moment of writing, due to a special chemical coating (ink microcapsules) applied to the surface of the paper, eliminating the need for traditional carbon paper. The term describes types of forms, receipt books, invoice books, or paper rolls frequently used in administrative, commercial, and typographical activities.
- To self-blame — To consider oneself guilty on one's own initiative; to unjustly or exaggeratedly attribute to oneself the responsibility for a failure, an error, an unfortunate event, or for the negative emotional state of those around. This destructive psychological mechanism involves excessive internal severity and an obsessive focusing of reproaches on one's own ego.
- Self-blame — The act of self-blaming and its result; a destructive and often unconscious psychological process through which an individual unjustifiably, disproportionately, or chronically assumes guilt for negative events, failures, or the suffering of those around them. This structural act of self-blame severely erodes self-esteem and is frequently correlated with depressive or anxious episodes.
- Self-disagreeable — Causing displeasure, discomfort, or aversion toward oneself; perceiving oneself in an unpleasant, repulsive, or uncomfortable manner from an aesthetic, moral, or behavioral standpoint. It represents a structural state of rejecting one's own self-image or identity.
- Self-disintegrating — Capable of disintegrating, decomposing, or fragmenting spontaneously or automatically into elementary pieces or particles through its own structural or chemical properties, following contact with a certain fluid medium or the expiration of a preset time, without the action of an external mechanical force. In pharmacy, it describes capsules or tablets designed to dissolve autonomously in the stomach.
- Self-dissolution — The act of self-dissolving and its result; an autonomous physical-chemical process of degradation and liquefaction of a substance, or a political act whereby a collective body (parliament, committee, association) ceases its legal existence by its own will.
- To self-balance — To restore one's own state of stable equilibrium, vertical position, balance of forces, or functional stability through internal mechanisms, sensors, or self-regulation processes, without external corrective command or force.
- Self-balancing — The act of self-balancing and its result; an automatic physical, mechanical, or cybernetic process by which an object, vehicle, or complex mechanism restores its stability or vertical position without human intervention or external corrective commands.
- Self-balanced — Being in a state of stable equilibrium due to its own internal mechanisms or sensors; a device or vehicle capable of autonomously maintaining its correct orientation or structural stability.
- Self-explosive — Regarding substances, chemical mixtures, or devices: self-explosive; possessing the property to decompose violently and detonate spontaneously under the influence of internal factors or minor environmental variations, without requiring an external primer or dedicated detonator. In a technical sense, it describes a critical molecular instability where the thermal propagation reaction is self-sustained.
- Autofen — A specialized technical term or rare chemical neologism used to describe a self-stabilized phenolic derivative or an aromatic molecular group capable of structural self-association. In certain advanced industrial contexts, it can refer to an organic compound used as an internal stabilizer in polymerization processes, preventing premature degradation of hydrocarbon chains.
- Self-financing — A financing method for an enterprise's operations and investments carried out exclusively through its own generated financial resources (such as undistributed net profit, depreciation, or accumulated reserves). It represents the core of a firm's economic independence, offering protection against the costs of external borrowing and capital market risks.
- Car refrigerator — A compact, portable, or integrated refrigeration appliance specifically designed to operate on board vehicles (cars, trucks, RVs, or boats), using power from the vehicle's electrical network (usually 12V or 24V DC) or directly from a standard grid. It is used for preserving and cooling food, beverages, or temperature-sensitive medical products during transportation or long-distance travel.
- Refrigerated truck — A self-propelled transport vehicle (van, truck, or box truck) equipped with an airtight isothermal body and its own mechanical refrigeration plant (cooling unit). It is used in cold chain logistics for the road transport of perishable goods, such as frozen or fresh food, flowers, and pharmaceuticals, maintaining a constant controlled temperature.
- Automatable — Capable of being automated; susceptible to being executed or managed autonomously by machines, robots, algorithms, or software scripts, partially or totally eliminating the need for direct human manual intervention. In systems engineering and business analysis, the term describes repetitive, linear, and strictly rule-based tasks that present high efficiency potential through digital integration.
