Essays on Incubator

What target market does Embrace seek to serve and how attractive is that market?

Embrace Infant Warmer is targeting endangered premature babies born in the developing countries, who face fatal risks due to hypothermia. The product also targets mothers and family of premature babies, especially those in rural villages who do not have the resources to come to hospitals for delivery and incubator facilities. There are many infant deaths every year in developing countries due to hypothermia and the co-founders aim to deliver a product that is a cheaper alternative to protect premature babies. Since, premature babies need incubators to survive after birth and adjust to temperature changes outside their mother’s body, ...

Executive summary

In the past, we have seen a considerable number of children born prematurely succumb to death shortly after delivery (Koletzco, 2014). This is most prominent in the developing countries for obvious reasons where infant mortality rates are more pronounced. Babies born underweight or premature are in dire need of someone to come up with innovation to bridge this gap. The innovation of infant warmers would go a great mile to help these infants. An infant warmer is a sleeping bag for infants which serves the purpose of an incubator. One thing about the infant warmer is the fact that ...

REPORT SECTIONS

Annually, infant mortality is recorded at 1million globally with 98% of this cases being in the developing world (National Center for Health Statistics -US. 2014). The documented cause for these deaths includes preventable and treatable complications which are linked to prematurity and low birth weight together with hypothermia. The proposed innovation thus seeks to solve this problem using the product- infant warmer.

Research and Development (R&D) is an exercise conducted to promote scientific knowledge or develop applications that comprise materials, devices, and processes. The need for global innovation has led to the increased investment in Research and Development. Therefore, several companies worldwide have taken the initiative of raising the money and time they employ in research and development. For example, businesses in New Zealand invest on R&D through creating Incubator Programmes. Incubator Programmes play the role of supporting the future business through the provision of services such as technology validation, governance, and advice. Federal aids for R&D include grants, awards, contracts, ...

As of now, plans and proposals for building cities or places that could actually be self-sustaining are on-going. These cities are supposedly going to have a minimal or even zero impact on the environment. That is, to build cities employing renewable sources of energy thus, gearing towards self-sufficiency. These requirements are being employed in the construction of the Masdar City. Masdar City is currently built in one of the capitals of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi. The construction site can be located seven kilometers from the city center of Abu Dhabi. This places the city between the Yas ...

Christianity is a religious tradition that is practices in almost all parts of the world.

THE OXIDATION OF OLIVE OIL UNDER MICROWAVE HEATING

Chemistry: Research Proposal Research is proposed to determine whether or not olive leaves are a good source of antioxidants. Reports of experiments to determine the effectiveness of natural plant extracts including olive leaf extracts have found that to be the case. The olive tree (Olea europaea) leaves are attractive because they “contain secoiridoids (oleuropein, ligstrosid, dimethyloleuropein, and oleoside), flavonoids (apigenins, kaempferol, leteolin), as well as phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol).” (Rafiee et al., 2012, p. 1498) High content of antioxidant properties and total phenols have been determined from olive leaf extractions. (Rafiee et al., 2012;) Rafiee (et al., ...

Introduction

The giant panda is a member of the bear family living in mountainous terrain in China. An article entitled “Giant panda fact file” (n.d.) contains much useful information about the animal, including its Latin name: Ailuropoda melanoleuca. Adults are mostly solitary in habit, meeting mainly in the mating season, which is between March and May, when they utter loud calls to each other through the mountainous forests. Unlike some other members of the bear family, giant pandas do not hibernate; they tend to relocate to lower altitudes to avoid the worst of the winter weather, and may also move around ...

In the recent past, exceptionally premature babies have been dying at a very higher rate. It is assumed that they only have 50% chance of survival. Newborns are also in this mix as they are at bigger jeopardy of developing complications in future (Whitfield & Peters, 2004). To prevent this, both the infants and the premature babies are usually kept in incubators until they are stable. In cases where the new born is stable and does not need incubators, Kangaroo Mother Care is used. This involves a direct skin-to-skin contact between mother and the new born. One of the main reasons why ...

1) Iodine test.

Iodine test distinguishes starch. It helps in distinguishing a polysaccharide from monosaccharide, disaccharides and other polysaccharides. The test is also called iodine staining. The iodine reacts with coiled polymer molecules and turn bluish black. Non-coiled starch does not react with iodine thereby no bluish color observed. A positive result is when there is the presence of the bluish black color.

Procedure

1. Put two drops of the solutions to be tested in three different test-tubes. 2. Add two drops of the IKI reagent to each of the tubes containing different sugar solutions. 3. Keep the sugar at room temperature ...
