Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

Pesticides: classifications, exposure and risks to human health

Archives in Biosciences & Health, 2019
Pesticides are used in the control and prevention of pests, improving the productivity and the quality of agricultural production. The adoption of the Brazilian agricultural model, which uses pesticides on a large scale and indiscriminately, has been worrying public authorities about their impacts on human health and environmental sustainability. Thus,

Selective Adsorption of o‐Xylene From all C8 Aromatics via Secondary Connectivity Manipulation in B←N Frameworks

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A programmed assembly strategy based on secondary connectivity integration allows modulating the B←N framework (BNF) microenvironment. Beyond possessing improved stability, the resulting BNFs achieve highly selective adsorption of o‐xylene from all C8 aromatics.
