Dual Ni/photoredox-catalyzed asymmetric cross-coupling to access chiral benzylic boronic esters
Nature Communications, 2021 Metallaphototoredox catalysis has been rarely applied to reductive cross-couplings, in contrast to typical redox-neutral methods. Here, the authors report a mild Ni/photoredox-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of aryl iodides and α-chloroboranes ...

City footprints and SDGs provide untapped potential for assessing city sustainability
Nature Communications, 2021 Whether or not a city achieves absolute sustainability is difficult to assess with existing frameworks. Here the authors, in a review, show that a further integration of consumption-based accounting and benchmarking is necessary to aid the monitoring and

Structural change in the dairy sector: exit from farming and farm type change
Agricultural and Food Economics, 2022 This paper analyses the factors driving structural change in Swiss dairy farming. We focus on the most important farm type in Switzerland, dairy farms, to examine which factors contribute to a farmer’s decision to abandon farming or change to suckler cow

Mixed-unit hybrid life cycle assessment applied to the recycling of construction materials
Journal of Economic Structures, 2018 The construction industry contributes around 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, 40% of depletion of natural resources, and 25% of wastes globally. To reduce these impacts, construction industries can adopt low-carbon alternatives for construction materials
