... Research on women's entrepreneurship has, however, seen significant progress, including studies on women's role, challenges, and contributions to economic growth (Bauweraerts et al., 2022;Bullough et al., 2022;Zastempowski & Cyfert, 2021). Furthermore, that studies that analyze women's entrepreneurship often compare the roles of women and men in entrepreneurship (Belz et al., 2022;Lerner & Malach-Pines, 2011;Phipps et al., 2015) and examine the motivations and characteristics of women entrepreneurs (Bouguerra, 2015;Carter et al., 2012), as well as the challenges they face in acquiring and mobilizing resources (Liñán et al., 2020). Other studies have explored how context has influenced women entrepreneurs (Baker & Welter, 2018;Welter, 2011;Zahra et al., 2014) and how they establish their networks and navigate entrepreneurial ecosystems (Covin et al., 2016;McAdam et al., 2019;Su et al., 2015). ...

... Patents -Patents are considered as an indicator of a firm's competitiveness and innovativeness, and are also an important outcome of R&D subsidy program targeting SMEs [55]. In addition, the number of patents held has a considerable impact on the survival of new firms, with recent studies showing that new firms with more patents are less likely to go bankrupt [56]. ...

... This challenging phase, also recognized between TRLs 5 and 7 by other studies, is characterized by the difficulty in advancing technologies due to the industry's reluctance to adopt innovations that have not reached a higher stage of maturity, typically TRL 7 or 8 [79]. The TRL scale, a well-known nine-level methodology for assessing technological maturity, is widely used in the aerospace industry to guide the development of innovations from initial conception to full commercialization [9]. ...

... Various government programs can provide financial assistance through grants or small loans, and thereby promote minority small businesses through fairness, equality, and access to the application process for all entrepreneurs (Amin, Danakin, & Divichenko, 2016). Thus, minority small businesses may benefit from the assistance of governmental agencies (Giga, Belz, Terrile, & Zapatero, 2018) and minority small business associations (Clark-Gill, 2016). ...

... The concept of the "valley of death" illustrates one of the greatest obstacles in the innovation lifecycle, identified specifically between technology readiness levels (TRLs) 5 and 6, a phase in which a technology is validated in a relevant environment but has not yet been demonstrated in an operational context [36]. This challenging phase, also recognized between TRLs 5 and 7 by other studies, is characterized by the difficulty in advancing technologies due to the industry's reluctance to adopt innovations that have not reached a higher stage of maturity, typically TRL 7 or 8 [79]. The TRL scale, a well-known nine-level methodology for assessing technological maturity, is widely used in the aerospace industry to guide the development of innovations from initial conception to full commercialization [9]. ...

... Firstly, the RRR is an integrative framework for policy or decision-making that is comprehensive and impartial, as noted by Roberts (2023). Specifically, there are other frameworks that focus on aspects like risk-and-reward (Terrile, Jackson & Belz, 2014;Ferràs-Hernández, 2023) and risk-and-resilience (Mochizuki et al., 2018). However, a notable limitation of RRR is its reluctance to provide guidance on how to assess the relative importance of different risks and rewards or how to balance them with considerations of resilience (Roberts, 2023). ...

... The situation is different for what concerns close stellar companions within the planet or BD orbits. Several cases of planets and BD in circumbinary configuration are known [157], e.g., TWA 5 [158], HD 106906 [157,159], HIP 79098 [160], and b Cen [161]. In some cases the inner binary orbit is not properly characterized. ...

... Terrill (Ref. 1) shows that such organization face clear impediments to innovation such as: 1) Engineering Culture 2) Risk Identification and Mitigation 3) Compartmentalization 4) Predicting the Future from Extrapolating the Past Engineering culture is oriented toward "finding the fault", in fact; engineering works best in organizations that manage to set aside fault finding as personal attacks, but instead work in open and trusting collaborate to lay all such bear for correction. This is a difficult proposition, requiring a great deal of faith in one's teammates. ...

... The same retrieval techniques used to solve the inverse problem for Solar System's bodies and the Earth atmospheres are used in exoplanetary science, after the discovery in 1995 of the first exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star (Terrile et al., 2005;Irwin et al., 2008;Madhusudhan and Seager, 2009;Seager, 2012a, 2013;Waldmann et al., 2015a,b). ...

... In space, the extreme sensitivity and optical stability of the Hubble space telescope (HST) makes it an ideal facility for high-contrast imaging. Three HST instruments include a coronagraphic channel, NICMOS (operational from 1997 to 1999 and from 2002 until 2008 [16]), ACS (installed in 2002 and observing in the visible, still active but the high-resolution channel which included the coronagraph was permanently disabled in 2007 [17]) and STIS (operational from 1997 to 2004 and from 2009 until now, observing in the visible [18]). The HST instruments, designed long before the first exoplanet was imaged, are multi-purpose, with rudimentary coronagraphs that are not optimized for exoplanet imaging. ...
