The first aim of this study is to identify the external and internal factors that have shaped the performance of Technology-Based Start-up Firms (TBSF) in the US. The second goal is to compare this study with a previous study conducted in Brazil, to identify incubator best practices that may increase the performance of incubated firms. The US study focuses on graduated firms from the Indiana Un...

Abstract Study question Does embryo culture using the EmbryoScope or EmbryoScope+ time-lapse incubators affect blastocyst development and birth rate compared to MINC™ benchtop incubators? Summary answer Culture in resulted higher quality utilisation rates, rates from fresh transfers was increased. What is known already Time-lapse enable continuous monitoring of embryos so that morphological cha...

Established firms accumulate a significant body of knowledge, expertise and capabilities that are often secondary to their central revenue generating activities. How do they leverage this expertise in non-core technology into future value creation opportunities? In this paper we examine an attempt by the telecommunications firm BT to create value from the accumulated knowledge within its labora...

The difficulties met in endeavoring to obtain chemically pure products have incited us to try to develop a micro-technique for the study of carbohydrate fermentation by bacteria. By this technique, used by us since 1941 and involving over five hundred different strains, we have found that we gained much room in our incubators, made a notable saving of time in the preparation of the material, in...

The present study verified the sound pressure levels inside incubators and at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, six months after the implementation of an educational program. Quantitative and descriptive study carried out at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and inside the incubators of a hospital. It was registered 151 hours and 30 minutes of sound pressure levels at the Neonatal Intensive Care...

Design/methodology/approach authors used integrative review a methodological approach systematized studies regarding main research objectives; theoretical approaches; methodology study object; QQH ...

The object of research in science and technology valleys incubators, which for governments are the best investment scientific energies scientists innovators. As they a link between institutions industrial service sectors, as transfer ideas results to different markets. This aims highlight importance Localization technological incubators related nuclear activities, one important tributaries supp...

There are a number of reports that bacteria which have been made resistant to antibiotics may be rendered normally susceptible by contact with sensitive organisms, with extracts of such organisms, or with culture filtrates. Some of these reports are mutually contradictory in important respects, and the results have not been reproducible regularly by other workers. Voureka (1948) found that when...
