Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance incubators in stages formation and development incubated business networks, especially bottom-up top-down network models. Design/methodology/approach research defined as qualitative descriptive, with application multiple case studies, which two networks businesses were investigated, one being other bottom-up, emerged within incubat...

The major objective of this study was, using the modern numerical techniques, to investigate transport processes of heat and mass transfer within an infant incubator, were the premature newborn baby is nursed. This investigation consists of calculations of the air flow inside the incubator, including coupled heat transfer due to heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation and evaporation. Ob...

The objective of this study was to test whether marron eggs and hatchlings can be incubated artificially with high levels of survival. Marron eggs were collected from 30 gravid females. The eggs from each female were divided into two replicate groups, and each replicate group was incubated separately within an artificial incubator until the eggs had hatched and developed into independent juveni...

Both normal and Rous sarcoma virus-infected chicken fibroblasts proliferate in an incubator containing 95% air, 5% CO2. In an incubator atmosphere enriched with oxygen, however, the normal fibroblasts are maintained without proliferation, while the Rous sarcoma virus-infected fibroblasts continue to proliferate. This suggests that a respiratory function may be involved in the regulation of prol...

We developed a hybrid two-photon excitation fluorescence-second harmonic generation (TPEF-SHG) imaging system with an on-stage incubator for long-term live-cell imaging. Using the imaging system, we observed the addition of new sarcomeres during myofibrillogenesis while a cardiomyocyte was spreading on the substrate. The results suggest that the TPEF-SHG imaging system with an on-stage incubato...

A low-cost micro-incubator for imaging dynamic processes in living cells and tissues has been developed. This micro-incubator provides a tunable environment that can be altered to study responses of cell monolayers for several days as well as relatively thick tissue samples and tissue-engineered epithelial tissues in experiments lasting several hours. Samples are contained in a sterile cavity c...

In practice, many hatchability and chick quality problems have been related to the control of embryo temperature (ET) during incubation. Within an incubator, set at a constant machine temperature (MT), ET can vary substantially. Embryo temperature is the result of the balance between heat transfer to and from the embryo and heat production (HP) of the embryo. We investigated which factors theor...

Establishment of a near-linear temperature gradient in an incubator has been accomplished by the application of heat to one terminus of a conducting body, normally a metal bar, and the removal of heat from the other terminus of the conducting body. Such incubators have been complex and unwieldy because of the need for mechanical refrigeration. We have described a simplified temperature gradient...

We study whether business incubator management collaboration with R&D milieus affects incubated entrepreneurs to also collaborate in different regional contexts. Empirically, we analyse 281 Norwegian 32 incubators. Incubator increases entrepreneur sparsely but not densely populated regions. Also, education level (plus investor and international customers). Entrepreneur is positively associa...
