A web-based real-time operating, management, and monitoring system for checking temperature and humidity within infant incubators using the Intranet has been developed and installed in the infant Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We have created a pilot system which has a temperature and humidity sensor and a measuring module in each incubator, which is connected to a web-server board via an RS485 por...

INTRODUCTION The incorporation of technologies in the care of infants has contributed to increased survival; however, this has turned neonatal unit into a noisy environment. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the physiological and functional effects resulting from the exposure to noise on low-weight newborns in incubators in a neonatal unit. METHODS Prospective, observational, quantitative, exploratory,...

A typical cell culture CO2 incubator was probed in detail to document the pattern of 60-Hz magnetic fields (MFs) inside the unit, as well as the ability of the incubator to attenuate environmental MFs. Subsequently, a survey of 46 cell culture incubators was performed. The survey measured MFs outside and inside the incubators, the frequency spectrum between 5 and 2000 Hz, and variations over ti...

Many successful open source projects have been developed by programmers who were employed by firms but worked on the open source projects on the side due to economic incentives like career improvement benefits. Such side work may be a good thing for the employing firms too if they get some strategic value from the open source software and/ or if the productivity of the programmers on these proj...

The objective of this work is to evaluate the associations between intellectual capital technology-based incubators in sustainability incubated companies located Portugal. For purpose, methodological strategy employed was survey, and test hypotheses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling PLS-SEM method applied from a sample 82 company managers. results show that incubator has direct...

According to the resource-based view, for start-ups gain a sustainable competitive advantage their resources should be valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable (VRIN). However, early-stage entrepreneurs often do not have capability properly value resources. Incubators are popular tools supporting entrepreneurs. Many initially prefer that incubators provide tangible non-VRIN such as fun...
