To investigate the influence of hypoxia during the early stage of incubation on embryonic developmentand hatching events, and consequently on incidence of ascites in broiler chickens, one thousand fertile eggswere incubated in two commercial incubators. Half the eggs were incubated in a low altitude incubator untilhatched. The second half were incubated in a high altitude incubator until day 10...

Crowdfunding, a new financing method for funding ideas or ventures through a large number of relatively small contributions from many individuals has witnessed the phenomenal development over the past decade. It involves bypassing traditional financial intermediaries and using online web-based platforms to connect users of funds with retail funders. This research first explores in greater detai...

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...
