OBJECTIVE To measure the irradiance in humidified incubator under three different overhead phototherapy devices. DESIGN/METHODS The effective irradiance of three phototherapy devices was assessed by taking a series of irradiance measurements in the illuminated field. Measurements were made with a fixed bandwidth broadband radiometer (380-530 nm). The distance between the light source and the ...

OBJECTIVE The goal was to assess the feasibility of earlier weaning from the incubator for preterm infants. METHODS This was a prospective, randomized study with preterm infants with birth weights of <1600 g who were admitted to a neonatal subintensive ward. Findings for 47 infants who were transferred from an incubator to an open crib at >1600 g (early transition group) were compared with th...

a w o 3 bstract leven sealers, including Resilon sealer, were mixed ccording to manufacturer’s instructions. Setting times ere determined in both aerobic and anaerobic envionments. Two samples of each sealer were mixed and laced in the following conditions: (a) uncovered in an erobic incubator; (b) covered with a glass cover-slip in he aerobic incubator; (c) covered with phosphate buffred salin...

A simple model to describe the relationship between the temperature of the developing embryo, incubator temperature, embryo heat production, and thermal conductivity of the egg and surrounding air is presented. During early incubation, embryo temperature is slightly lower than incubator temperature because of evaporative cooling. However, from midincubation onwards, metabolic heat production fr...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the major physical processes taking place inside an infant incubator, after modifications have been made to the interior chamber. Additional screens (double walls) are commonly used in modern incubators to decrease radiation heat losses from the infant child placed inside the incubator. However, these improvements affect the flow and temperatur...

BACKGROUND Heart rate has been used to measure infants' physiological stability during skin-to-skin holding. Variability in heart period (interbeat interval), a more sensitive measure of autonomic nervous system tone, has not. OBJECTIVE To describe heart period variability in intubated very-low-birth-weight infants during incubator care and during maternal skin-to-skin holding. DESIGN/METHO...

An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that incubator temperature may affect circulating insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II). In prior studies, growth of turkey embryos was altered by increasing incubator temperatures. Interestingly, the embryonic growth of a growth-selected line (F) was reduced, whereas embryos from an egg-production-selected line (E) did not alter embry...

9 One of the theoretically important factors for incubator firm performance is the strength of their linkages to the research university sponsoring the technology incubator. Herein, we focus on two types of university linkages to the sponsoring institution: a license obtained from the university and a link to university faculty, while controlling for incubator firm linkages to nonsponsoring res...

Eggs and quail meat are in great demand by the public because they have high nutritional value affordable prices. Consumption of eggs Ciamis Regency continues to increase. increased consumption should be followed egg production. To meet these needs, it is necessary manufacture a incubator (incubator) so that hatching process relatively easier more practical with better results. This service aim...

The existence of the STIE BIMA business incubator as a facilitation facility in accelerating entrepreneurial growth is expected to be answer some problems partners who will incubated (tenants). This study aims determine effect Business Incubator Effectiveness on Community Assistance with case at Bima University Economics. research uses quantitative descriptive approach. population entire commun...
