A bacterial strain is grown in nutrient medium at $37^{\circ}\text{C}$ under aerobic conditions. The medium is inoculated with $10^{2}$ cells from a seed culture. If the number of cells in the culture is $10^{5}$ after $10$ hours of growth, the doubling time of the strain (rounded off to nearest integer) is ___________ $\text{h}.$
