To most, opportunity recognition and exploitation are the key activities of entrepreneurship. In their 1989 paper on the subject the authors identified a factor structure useful in explaining the process. The present work compares the 1998 results with the 1989 results. Evidence is provided that there is a stable temporal model of opportunity recognition and exploitation.

Abstract Business incubators hatch start-ups, helping them to survive their early stage and create a solid foundation for sustainable growth by providing services access knowledge. The great practical relevance led strong interest of researchers high output scholarly publications, which made the field complex scattered. To organize research on provide systematic overview field, we conducted bib...

This paper reviews some of our recent applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model heat and mass transfer problems in neonatology and investigates the major heat and mass-transfer mechanisms taking place in medical devices, such as incubators, radiant warmers and oxygen hoods. It is shown that CFD simulations are very flexible tools that can take into account all modes of heat tr...

Historical fears of toxic fumes from motor vehicles and industrial sources, and anecdotal reports among ART scientists of diminished success rates associated with building renovations, have now been confirmed and expanded into a solid evidence base. The earliest peer-reviewed publication on such issues was by Cohen et al. (1997) and led to the development of various products designed specifical...
