The online distribution of this material frees researchers to focus their time on algorithm development instead of reinventing the low level interfaces.The functions are freely available on the web. While the toolbox is free, of course MATLABitself requires a license to use. In that sense it is not FOSS (Free and Open Source Software).However, we feel MATLAB is a viable alternative since: 1. many universities, the target market for the Scorbot, already possess a site license for MATLAB; 2.

Also, such communities shouldhave a disaster recovery policy to ensure the rapid restoration of data after a disaster.This policy recommendation strives for an ideal solution, and one that is not necessarily possiblegiven the resource restraints of small, municipal governments. The hurdles of this policy arebeing addressed by integrating this problem within a joint business-engineering course

Small businesses can lease these spaces on flexible terms and at reduced rents ascompared to the general market. Wiggens and Gibson (2003), in their analysis of the Austin Technology Incubator,conclude that successful incubators do the following: clearly measure performance, offer leadership to start-ups,provide needed services to tenants, use an effective selection process, and facilitate access to networks of neededresources, both financial and people.University based incubators: Many of the UBI’s are the result of science and technology research projects.Rensselaer’s Incubator Program, founded in 1980, is one of the oldest

(10) L1 tl When a collision is perfectly elastic, no energy is dissipated. Then, the total bouncing time,.6.ttota\, is very large, compared to the drop time, .6.t\, and e approaches unity, as can be seen fromEq. (9). If, on the other hand, the collision is perfectly inelastic, the particles stick to each otherand there is no bounce at all; then, the total time, .6.ttota \, is equal to the drop time, .6.t\, and thecoefficient of restitution is zero, as can be seen from Eq. (9). However, in general practice, thecoefficient of restitution is between these two extremes and must be determined experimentally.In processing the data collected from the experiments that are described below, we used all threemethods outlined above to
