Abstract:
This panel discussion was a part of a programme ‘From Incubation to Enterprise’ which was conducted by Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad's (IIMA) Centre for Innovation, Incubation, and Entreprenuership (CIIE) on January 4, 2003. Professor Pankaj Chandra of IIMA led the discussion. The distinguished panelists were Mr Sandeep Srivastav and Professor Bipin Shah. Their experience and insight on the subject helped in understanding the process of incubation leading to enterprise. The panel discussion addressed the following questions: What is incubation? What is innovation? What is the process of incubation that is needed for commercializing an innovation? What role does an incubator play? The following important points were made by the panelists: An innovative entrepreneur should adapt to the demand of the market. The adaptation may be with regard to technology, marketing, business idea or business plan. The concept of incubation originated from the medical field. The concept of incubators is applied more to project ideas which have a high degree of uncertainty. The aim of the incubators is to facilitate the survival of such companies and also to nurture these companies for growth and success. Incubators play the role of risk-sharing and providing credibility to an idea as it progresses from being an idea to some kind of product. It minimizes uncertainty and increases the success rate of an enterprise that is at a very nascent stage. The difference among promotional efforts and hand-holding is that promotional effort is the assistance given for setting up a business whereas, in an incubator, it is more of hand-holding. The biggest benefit of being in an incubator is that it insulates you from the outside environment and hence an innovator can just concentrate on getting his idea fool-proof for the market. Incubators even provide the network, linking the innovators with societal resources. The network is of two kinds - knowledge network and social network. The role of venture capitalists in enterprise building is to provide linkages for a budding entrepreneur. But not many people are ready to give money at an idea level Professor Pankaj Chandra concluded the discussion by saying that the incubator is not just for supporting the innovator but also for ensuring that the idea is converted into an enterprise.

Abstract:
In this communication, we present the prototype of a new simulated in situ lab/on-deck incubator, the light spectrum replicator (LSR), and a method for simulating the measured in situ HOCR light spectrum curves in incubation chambers. We developed this system using AI and genetic algorithms in an iterative fashion to find the best-fitting light spectrum in situ irradiance at different depths. The HOCR light spectrum measured at the depth and time of sampling was processed immediately, so the incubator is in a stable and ready condition by the time the samples inoculated with 14C were placed in sample holders (10 min after sampling). This incubator is intended to provide a reliable, fast, and easy-to-use tool for studying primary production based on the evaluation of the photosynthetic uptake of 14C. This system enables short incubation periods for small samples: we tested incubations of 5 mL samples during 15 min incubation periods. Our initial measurements taken using the prototype revealed a sufficiently good correlation between the on-deck measurements and in situ incubations. This prototype can be improved, as discussed in this text.

Abstract:
A Solar Powered Poultry Egg Incubator (SPPEI) was developed and tested to evaluate its performance, and it was compared to an existing incubator that can incubate chicken eggs within the temperature range of 35◦C to 40◦C. The main components of the developed incubator are the incubating unit, the temperature device and the photovoltaic (PV) system. The developed incubator had 73% hatchability, 71% vigorous chicks and fewer dead embryos compared to the existing incubator that had 60% hatchability, 58% chick vigor and more embryos. The developed incubator hatched chicks starting on the 18th day until the 21st day of incubation, while the existing incubator hatched chicks on the 18th day until the 22nd day of incubation. The average temperatures in the developed incubator were within the acceptable incubation temperature range: at 37.72◦C (99.89◦F) in the morning, at 37.94◦C in◦ the afternoon (100.29◦F), and at 37.83◦C (100.09◦F) in the evening, while with the existing incubator, it is within 38.67◦C (101.6◦F), 38.74◦C (101.7◦F) and 38.52◦C (101.3◦F). The average relative humidities in the developed incubator are 60% in the morning, 60.3% in the afternoon and also 60.3% in the night while that of the existing incubator are 60%, 57.33% and 59%, respectively. The egg incubator was able to maintain the optimum conditions for the hatching of the chicken eggs, and was capable of incubating and hatching the chicken eggs effectively.

Abstract:
This paper addresses the role of incubators in supporting new venture creation. A mapping of four different types of incubator is proposed: corporate private incubators (CPIs), independent private incubators (IPIs), business innovation centres (BICs) and university business incubators (UBIs). This mapping is exemplified through case studies of one incubator for each of the four categories. The authors argue that one interpretative key to explain the dynamics of the incubation industry is the evolution of company requirements and consequently of the services offered by incubators. In this context, two different incubating models are described which provide incubators with useful indications as to how they should position themselves strategically.

Abstract:
The aim of present study was to understand the transformation of ram sperm nuclei within oocyte cytoplasm during in vitro fertilization. The oocytes were collected from slaughterhouse ovaries. Before fertilization, the oocytes were maturated in vitro for 24 hours in the incubator with 5% CO2 at 38.5°C. Then the oocytes (n= 635) was fertilized by incubating the oocytes with sperm (5x106 spermatozoa/ ml) for 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 hours. At the end of incubating period, the oocytes were fixed and stained with aceto-orcein 2% before evaluated under phase contrast microscope. Sperm nuclear transformation was evaluated according to sperm nuclear status of sperm, such as condensation, decondensation, and formation of prepronuclei and pronuclei. Sperm condensation and decondensation were seen at 3 hours after incubation. Prepronuclei and pronuclei were found at 6 hours of incubation. Pronuclei formation was significantly increased in the 9 hours after incubation (P<0.05). The incidence of polyspermia was significantly increased at 12-15 hours after incubation (P<0.05). In conclusion penetration of sperm into oocytes has been occurred at 3 hour of fertilization period. The formation of pronuclei was found at 6 hours after incubation and the incidence of polyspermia was increased when the fertilization period prolonged.

Abstract:
AbstractIncubation period for non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections is generally reported as 6–72 h despite numerous reports of foodborne NTS outbreaks with median incubation periods >3 days. We summarised 16 years of Minnesota foodborne NTS outbreaks to better estimate the expected range of incubation periods for NTS infections. Of the 1517 NTS outbreak cases, 725 had enough data to calculate a precise incubation period. The median incubation period was 45 h; 77 (11%) cases had incubations ⩽12 h and 211 (29%) cases had incubations >72 h. Incubation period length varied by outbreak vehicle type, Salmonella serotype and outbreak setting. Based on our data, a more accurate description would be that the incubation of NTS infection is usually from 12 to 96 h, that incubations in >96 to 144 h (>4 to 6-day) range are not unusual and that incubations from 7 to 9 days and occasionally longer also occur.

Abstract:
Abstract Social entrepreneurship is a relatively new concept in Estonia and measuring the social impact of enterprises is not yet the norm. It has gained more awareness during recent years and therefore several support instruments have been established. The aim of the paper is to provide a framework for impact analysis of an incubator and analysis of the evaluation of the program for social enterprises according to the designed framework. The incubation program itself was piloted at a higher education institution. The paper addresses the concept of social enterprises, new social venture creation, incubation by a higher education institution and its impact on social enterprises. While the development of enterprises is a common topic, the research on social impact incubators is still scarce. The study is characterised by a descriptive and an exploratory study design. The paper explores the social enterprise incubator through mixed-method two-stage content analysis of the applications and self-analysis reports of the participants of the incubator. In the process of the content analysis, qualitative data analysis is used. Finally, the paper concludes that the incubator was successful as it helped the social enterprises to become sustainable and enhanced their social impact. The limitation of the research is the evaluation design which addresses measuring the successfulness of the incubation immediately after the end of the programme and not in the long-term. The study contributes to the literature on measuring the successfulness of incubation processes and on the practice of incubating new social ventures with social impact.

Abstract:
Purpose This study aims to explore key factors and specific ways for the upgrade to hybrid incubators in the context of China. A hybrid incubator means that a technology-based business incubators (TBIs) can implement various distinct value creation processes with the integration of the advantages of non-for-profit and for-profit TBIs at same time as Chinese government now requires government-sponsored non-for-profit TBIs to be profitable self-sustainability with less dependent on direct public subsidies, aiming to motivate these TBIs to provide higher quality services for their tenant new technology-based firms (NTBFs). Design/methodology/approach This study conducts a single in-depth case-study of Tuspark Incubator (located in Tsinghua Science Park [TSP]) with categorical analysis. Findings Three factors, i.e. incubation subdivision, intermediary platform and proactive approach, are found to be essential for a formerly government-sponsored TBI’s upgrading. Incubation subdivision enables Tuspark Incubator to create multiple incubation processes with incubator characteristic variables of both non-for-profit and for-profit incubators; with the establishment of intermediary platform, Tuspark Incubator provides specialized business support and high-quality networking from relevant specialized service organizations external to the incubator; more proactive approach with equity investment on incubating firms from Tuspark Incubator help to generate social welfare and financial profit at the same time. Practical implications For the incubators’ managers, incubation subdivision enables TBIs to operate for-profit and non-for-profit processes at the same time and provides different specific needs; more open intermediary service platforms can leverage the full potential of the actors in innovation system and help TBIs to save resource when upgrading to hybrid incubators; proactive approaches nurture learning climate and entrepreneurship environment to enhance the successful rate on NTBFs inside incubators and provide main profit source for incubators. For policy makers, using proactive approaches including creating a good milieu for incubation on technology-based start-ups and the design of public guidance funds is increasingly crucial. Originality/value This research is a pioneering study on the key factors and specific ways for the upgrade of government-sponsored non-for-profit TBIs in China to hybrid for-profit and non-for-profit incubators.

Abstract:
University business incubators (UBIs) are organizations that provide new startup companies with a support environment. However, there are split opinions on the UBIs’ contributions to the startups and the regional economy and, consequently, there are also split opinions on  how to assess UBI performance. According to the resource-based view (RBV), a company’s competitive advantage results from the various resources the company has access to. The biotechnology industry is characterized by high research intensity, weak entrepreneurial and managerial skills of the entrepreneur, huge capital requirements, and long product  evelopment approval processes. Previous research has showed that these characteristics imply certain challenges for new biotech ventures. In this study, these industry specific characteristic and challenges were believed to affect what constitutes successful bioincubation and how bio-incubators’ performance should be assessed. The purpose of this report is, thus, to examine how bio-incubator performance can, and should be, assessed. An existing framework for assessing UBI performance is used as a basis for performing  emistructured interviews with 18 incubator managers in order to examine what performance indicators are perceived as robust for assessing bio-incubator performance. The findings show that the value contributions of bio-incubators mainly include space and network provision, support services, and coaching. The perceived value contributions, in combination with the perceived challenges, imply that it is particularly appropriate to assess bio-incubators performance in terms of Job Creation, Economy Enhancement, Access to Funds, and the Incubator Offer and Internal Environment. However, Job Creation and Economy Enhancement are closely related and are therefore suggested to be merged into a single performance indicator. Hardware and Services, on the other hand, seems to be less relevant for assessing bio-incubator performance as it depends on the incubator’s strategy. The study concludes that there are additional ways of assessing bio-incubator performance, such as shortened time to graduation, links with universities, and the flexibility of the incubator. Further research may include the entrepreneurs’ point of view or use the approach of this study to examine incubator performance in other high-technology industries.

Abstract:
Despite the increasing recognition of the importance of the incubation process for new venture creation, the main focal point for scholars has been on other areas such as the outputs of incubation. Little attention has been given to unpacking how the incubation process functions and the variables associated with the incubation process. In this thesis, five important questions central to this gap in understanding are addressed: (1) how does the incubation process function?; (2) how do incubation processes differ?; (3) how does an incubator’s objectives and resources affect how the incubation process functions and influence potential new venture creation?; (4) how does an entrepreneur’s experience and background (e.g. entrepreneurial experience, industrial experience, education and family background) affect their ability to start a new venture in the context of the incubation process?; and (5) how and in what ways do the principal elements of the regional innovation system (RIS) play a role in the incubation process and influence potential new venture creation? These questions are addressed in two steps. First, key literatures on incubation, technology transfer, entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship and RIS are integrated to position the study and form a conceptual framework for the investigation. Second, in-depth qualitative empirical investigations of three different incubation processes (a regional incubation process, a student incubation process, and a university incubation process) within the same RIS (the North East of the UK) are utilised to unpack these central issues and address the research questions. The thesis’ central contribution is to the incubation literature providing new insights on how the incubation process functions. By adopting an integrated approach, which includes analysing how the process is affected by the objectives and resources of the organisation offering the incubation support, the experience and background of the entrepreneur, the role of the RIS, and the process components, the empirical analysis presents key findings. The empirical analysis highlights the importance of the degree of involvement of incubator managers and the importance of using multiple selection criteria in the effective selection of incubatees to improve the likelihood of new venture creation. It was also found that the broader range of co-production modalities utilised by incubator managers who themselves had entrepreneurial experience, the more effective the business support process, and the more likely new venture creation. In relation to objectives and resources, the findings suggest that the higher degree of resources the incubation process provides to achieve its objectives, the more effective the business support process, and the more likely new venture creation. Entrepreneurial characteristics such as prior entrepreneurial experience, industrial experience, education and family background were found to positively affect the entrepreneur during the incubation process and increased the likelihood of new venture creation. In relation to the RIS, it was found that its principal elements, specifically regional organisations and actors and the socio-economic and cultural setting, play a role in the incubation process and influence potential new venture creation. It was also found that there are clear differences between different incubation process types. Five other inductively-derived constructs (e.g. risk aversion, incubator management learning, duty of care, entrepreneurial knowledge and social capital) were also found to further explain how the incubation process functions which also represents a main contribution of the study. A theoretical model of incubation is presented that better specifies the inter- relationships between the internal and external constructs relating to the form of the incubation process, the entrepreneurs themselves, and the RIS. These insights are articulated as a series of propositions to guide future research. Policy implications are also discussed to provide practitioners with the means to improve the incubation process.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to examine incubators which were formed by Innovation Center Iceland right after the financial crisis hit in 2008. The question is whether a new concept can be defined, or a new phenomenon, called “crisis incubation”. This is a concept that has not been studied before. This research is carried out by comparing the incubators formed in Iceland with incubators in six other European countries before the crisis hit, and see if there are any differences between the entrepreneurial processes. According to the study, the main differences between traditional incubators and crisis incubators are the following: Access to crisis incubators is much easier, incubatees within crisis incubators are much less likely to experience problems after they have entered the incubators, and they are much more likely to solve problems they experience. The only problem that incubatees in a crisis incubator are more likely to experience is obtaining finance. The study also finds some similarities between traditional incubators and crisis incubators. Overall, the main results strongly indicate that the differences between the two concepts are so great, that a new phenomenon can be defined, although further research is needed.

Abstract:
This research is designed to distinguish and describe or explain incubator practices that affect the performance of incubator clients of university technology incubator programs. The research focuses on understanding which practices significantly contribute to increasing job creation for the firms located in university based technology incubators. An increasing number of communities are embracing economic development strategies that target the high tech sector with high wage, high value jobs as a way to diversify their economies and boost local and regional economies. New economic development strategies include the notion of a creation strategy or "growing your own" instead of relying on recruiting of existing companies from other regions. In 1999-2000 (according to the most recent data), small businesses created three-quarters of U.S. net new jobs (2.5 million of the 3.4 million total). The small business percentage varies from year to year and reflects economic trends. Over the decade of the 1990s, small business net job creation fluctuated between 60 and 80 percent. Moreover, according to a Bureau of the Census working paper, start-ups in the first two years of operation accounted for virtually all of the net new jobs in the economy. The study is broken into three parts: (1) a review of the literature on incubation, focusing on its history, best practices, technology incubation, networking theory, and previous empirical studies (2) a review of previous data collected in a recent national survey and (3) case studies of the top performing incubators in the country based on employment growth of client firms contracted with case studies from non-top ten programs. The literature suggests that the study of incubation must be considered in the context of a larger enterprise development system of which the incubator will fill gaps in the larger regional enterprise development system. This notion is explored. In general, there is a great need for more empirical research into best practice of incubation. It is a non trivial task however as the nature of the industry limits the ability to obtain traditional, statistically defendable, measures.

Abstract:
The incubation shift length of the Ancient Murrelet ( Synthliboramphus antiquus), an exceptionally long and varied for an auk. I studied colonies of this species at East Limestone Island (1993-1995, 2002-2003: data collected by Laskeek Bay Conservation Society) and Reef Island (2007-2008), Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. Incubation shift length was correlated between pair members and my results show that maintaining incubation schedule was an essential component of reproductive success. Incubation shift length varied in response to prevailing local weather and sea conditions (e.g. wind speed, wave height), perhaps as a consequence of reduced foraging efficiency. Incubation shift length was longer in years when sea surface temperature in April was high. In years with longer shift, birds had lower reproductive success and chicks departed the nest with a lower body mass. My results explained if we assume that multi-day incubation shifts in Ancient Murrelets are the adaptively preferred strategy, through reduction in predation risk, but that actual shift lengths are modified by immediate weather and foraging constraints.

Abstract:
The sound of fingers tapping against stone resonates through the quiet coffee shop as local help bangs, stirs, and presents a double tall frothed mocha. The customer grabs the large cup of caffeine as though shot out of a cannon screaming toward the door barely hesitating at the brass handle, and in an instant is in a conversation with an executive across the country. Culture today seems to act in a similar fashion to the "Flash" coffee consumer. We should wonder what might have happened had the consumer stopped to enjoy the moment, maybe participated in a balancing game while walking across the tile floor. Perhaps sentient memories would conjure up past childhood experiences that inevitably would turn the corners of the mouth up into a half smile? Instead, the rigorous life we all live in today has taken hold. With the importance of time weighing on the mind, and the latest technology calling for attention out from our coat pockets, no wonder for the rush! It is not just time and technology that cause us to act this way. In this rush the consumer has also overlooked the changing patterns of life that occur during each season. For example, without even acknowledging an innate awareness for change, drink ordering went from iced to warm with a particularly cold fall day. Changes are occurring rapidly, yet some of us still are not aware. We should be aware current trends in music , film, and "texting" are changing our culture.. Also, an overabundance of access to information adds another dimension by speeding up the rate at which each change occurs. While we accelerate through our lives using tooling technologies like cell phones, and computers, and information becomes over abundant, a growing disconnection is occurring between the engagement of our internal intuitions and the external environment. [To combat urgency, we should introduce incubative spaces that explore intuitive mitigation of our current total environment]

Abstract:
Variation in embryonic developmental periods influences fitness, but causes of interspecific variation are poorly understood. Allometry, for example, does not explain variation in incubation periods among neotropical passerines. Incubation temperature can explain some variation in developmental periods, but substantial variation remains unexplained. Here we examine two previously untested alternatives. Adult metabolic rates differ among species and similar differences among embryos may explain some variation in embryonic development rates; higher metabolism may allow faster cellular proliferation. Alternatively, metabolic rates are temperature dependent, and metabolic rates might respond differentially to temperature among species and compensate for differing incubation temperatures. These alternatives are untested across any taxa. Therefore, we examined them in tropical Venezuela by measuring embryonic metabolism at four temperatures in 15 passerine species with incubation periods ranging from 12 to 27 days. Embryonic metabolic rates responses to temperature were different among species even at constant embryonic age. Furthermore, species with lower average daily incubation temperature are less sensitive to changes in temperature than species with higher average incubation temperatures. Differences in embryonic mass specific metabolic rate among species explained a significant amount of variation in incubation periods after correcting for incubation temperature. Thus, differences in the rate of living as manifested through metabolism can influence developmental trajectories and deserve greater attention.

Abstract:
Ducks have lower hatchability rate than other poultry species, ranging about 65- 82%, and duck egg hatching is more difficult than chicken egg hatching. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of spraying incubating duck’s eggs with the olive oil, ethanol alcohol and distilled water on embryonic mortality and hatchability rates. Eight hundred fertilized eggs were used with an average weight of (65-73) g divided into four groups, each group subdivided into four sub-groups were sprayed with distilled water at 37°C temperature, olive oil and ethanol alcohol 70%, and the control group without spraying. The first group G1 was sprayed on 1st day of incubation, the second group G2 was sprayed at 7th day of incubation, and the third group G3 was sprayed at 14th day of the incubation period, and the fourth group was sprayed at 21st day of the incubation. The results revealed that the hatching rate was significant raising (p ≤ 0.05) in eggs sprayed by water in each periods of incubation when compared with other spraying groups. Also, the embryonic mortality rate registered a significant decreasing (p ≤ 0.05) in eggs spraying by distilled water during incubation periods compared with other spray group. In conclusions, from present results are established that the spraying Iraqi duck's eggs by distilled water could improve hatchability rate and decrease the mortality rate of embryo at variant periods of incubation.

Abstract:
This paper addresses the question of how organisations can foster high technology businesses in an incubation-type environment. We compare the approaches taken by a large private firm with a successful University entrepreneurial program to outline successful elements in creating a successful high tech business incubation environment. By outlining similarities and differences of the two cases, this paper provides practical insights how to foster high technology businesses.

Full text
Abstract:
Agribusiness incubators play an important role in developing the technology and value chains that let small agricultural businesses thrive in developing countries and emerging markets. Incubators are, therefore, a key contributor to these economies, boosting prosperity and reducing poverty, and there is increased interest in supporting interventions aimed at accelerating or incubating agribusinesses. The topic is especially important now, as public funding is likely to come under pressure in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, scant evidence has been collected on the effectiveness of such interventions at generating additional investments in the sector. This paper remedies this lack. The objectives of this paper are to: (i) identify examples of incubators of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) that have successfully catalysed investment into the agricultural sector over the last 10 years; (ii) identify and analyse types of agribusiness incubators; (iii) provide evidence on the results and impact of the different incubation models and, where applicable and information is available, on gendered impacts; and (iv) draw conclusions on whether interventions aimed at accelerating and incubating SME agribusinesses are effective in supporting increased investment in the sector. There is a dearth of comparative data and peer-reviewed literature around these questions. The Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness programme (CASA) has therefore collected evidence via primary research (websites, annual reports and phone calls with key experts and incubator managers), as well as secondary research where appropriate.

Abstract:
In the Common Eider Somateria mollissima, only females incubate the clutch over a period of 25–28 days. Determining their schedule of nest absence, how long they are away, how often, and where they go can be problematic. They must also avoid nest predation while tending to their own needs. We used geolocators to investigate the behavior of incubating females on forested islands in Dolgaya Guba Bay (65°03′N, 035°47′E), White Sea, Russia. Data were obtained for 12 females: three in 2015 and 2016, four in 2017, and two in 2018. During the entire incubation period, females left their nests for the sea 12–28 times. The average duration at sea was 331.0 ± 53.8 min, including 261.1 ± 47.9 min during the darkest hours in otherwise 24-hour daylight. The patterns are similar to those of eiders nesting in lower, nonpolar latitudes, where nights are dark.
