Date fruit consumption at term: Effect on length of gestation, labour and delivery
Labour induction and augmentation with Prostaglandin and Oxytocin are well established as standard practice worldwide. They are safe when used judiciously, but may be associated with maternal and neonatal morbidities. Other safer alternatives have been studied including dates consumption during late pregnancy with various outcomes.

Fiber Lengths and End-plate Locations in Fruit Bat Web Muscles
SummarySingle motor nerve fibers to bat web muscles were stimulated in vivo, and both ends of single muscle fibers were located by the presence of monophasic action potentials. The mean length of 12 such muscle fibers was 10.1 mm. Electrical responses of minimum latency were recorded in 6 of these fibers, demonstrating end-plate loci within the middle ...

Chemical composition of forage watermelon fruit at different maturity stage or storage length
This study aimed to assess the chemical responses of forage watermelon fruit at different maturity stages or storage lengths, performing two experimental tests. In the first test, four maturity stages were assessed: 30, 45, 60, and 75 days after anthesis, with four replicates. In the second test, fruits were maintained under three storage lengths: T1D (

Bee Visitation and Fruit Quality in Berries Under Protected Cropping Vary Along the Length of Polytunnels [PDF]
Abstract Wild and managed bees provide effective crop pollination services worldwide. Protected cropping conditions are thought to alter the ambient environmental conditions in which pollinators forage for flowers, yet few studies have compared conditions at the edges and center of growing tunnels. We measured environmental variables (
