Abstract

This article, titled "EP05.05: Adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy: effects on fetal cortical development," explores the relationship between a mother's adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) during pregnancy and fetal cortical development. The study involved a cohort of 214 women, and cortical development variables were compared based on their adherence to the MD using the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) score. The results showed that fetuses from pregnancies with medium or low adherence to the MD had significant differences in cortical development compared to those from pregnancies with high adherence, with reduced depths in certain cortical areas. These findings suggest a link between maternal nutrition and fetal brain development in uncomplicated pregnancies. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Probit analysis of responses from a 2001 survey of cotton farmers in six southeastern states was used to determine the factors that influenced cotton farmers to adopt site-specific information gathering technologies and variable rate input application technologies. Farm size, land quality, college attendance, the farmer's age, and the farmer's perceptions about the future profitability and importance of cotton precision farming were significant factors affecting the adoption of site-specific information gathering technologies. Adoption of variable rate input application technologies was influenced by farm size, land tenure, the farmer's age, the farmer's knowledge about the costs and potential benefits of precision farming, and the farmer's perceptions about the future profitability and importance of cotton precision farming.
