Chapters cover topics such as integration of rotations and livestock, as well as landscape models such as agroecological zone (AEZ) models.

Building on topics previously discussed in Part 1, Part 2 addresses the challenges of combining modular sub-systems into whole farm system, landscape and regional models. This collection summarises key advances in crop modelling, with a focus on developing the next generation of crop and whole-farm models to improve decision making and support for farmers.Д¬hapters in Part 1 review advances in modelling individual components of agricultural systems, such as plant responses to environmental conditions, crop growth stage prediction, nutrient and water cycling as well as pest/disease dynamics. Published by Elsevier B.V.Advances in crop modelling for a sustainable agriculture Improved performance on the DSAT with increasing age, the positive correlation with the BSID-III cognitive and language scales and the correlation with common sociodemographic predictors of neurodevelopment demonstrate the validity of the DSAT as a test of infant development.Д¬hildren Delayed spatial alternation Lead Neurodevelopment Working memory.Д¬opyright В© 2019. MBPb and CPBb did not significantly predict DSAT performance. A higher number of correct responses was associated with higher BSID-III Cognitive scales at 18 months (r = 0.20, p < 0.01) and 24 months (r = 0.27, p < 0.01). Maternal education predicted better DSAT performance household smoking predicted worse DSAT performance. In all DSAT parameters, females performed better than males. 2.4 (0.97), p < 0.01), and had a higher number of correct responses (20.3 vs. We compared DSAT performance to BSID-III performance with adjusted residuals.Дў4-month children perform better on the DSAT than 18-month children 24-month subjects reached a higher level on the DSAT (3.3 (0.86) vs. We regressed DSAT measures on MBPb and CBPb, child sex, and maternal age, education, socioeconomic status, and household smoking. Lead was measured in maternal blood collected during pregnancy (MBPb) and in a subsample of children at 24-months (CBPb). The DSAT and Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-III) were administered at 18- and 24-months.

We assessed 457 mother-child pairs participating in the Programming Research in Obesity, GRowth, Environment and Social Stressors (PROGRESS) Study in Mexico City. We further explored whether prenatal lead exposure impacted DSAT performance.

Our objective was to assess the feasibility of administering a Delayed Spatial Alternation Task (DSAT) to measure WM among 18- and 24-month old children enrolled in an ongoing longitudinal birth cohort study and compare DSAT performance with age and general cognitive development.

Because rapid brain development may increase susceptibility to adverse impacts of prenatal neurotoxicant exposure, such as lead, tests of WM in very young children would help to delineate onset of developmental problems and windows of susceptibility. Beginning in infancy, children show WM capacity increasing with age but there are few validated tests of WM in very young children. Working memory (WM) is critical for problem solving and reasoning.
