INDEX Italy

Countries not covered systematically include Brazil, the former Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Einland, the former GDR, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Spain, and the former USSR. In addition, patents from some of the systematically covered countries may have been indexed in eadier years. 

For instance, Wilkinson found that people are much more likely to feel trustful towards others in those US states in which income differences were smaller. Similarly, the hostility scores for 10 US cities found by R. B. Williams et al. (1995) were related to city mortality rates (r = —0.9), which have also been found to be related to the extent of income inequality in those cities. In addition, R. D. Putnam studied the functioning of regional governments in Italy, and notes that his index of civic community (measure of the strength... 

Method The authors use information on all non-hospital sales of pharmaceutical products in 1992 in a sample of countries consisting of the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the UK. The database was provided by Intercontinental Medical Systems (IMS). The empirical analysis is based on the calculation of the Paasche and Laspeyres price indexes and the ratio between them. The descriptive analysis is completed with the econometric analysis (quasi-hedonic model) of the determining factors of the variation in the relative prices of each active ingredient in each country taking the USA as the point of comparison.

Bonino was the first chemist in Italy at the beginning of the 1920s to perceive and to exploit the importance of infrared spectroscopy for chemistry. The infrared technique offered considerable advantages for researchers working on the composition and structure of chemical compounds. While traditional methods of analysis, such as measurements of melting point or refractive index, yield information about one particular characteristic of the compound, an infrared spectrum offers several physical indicators. Despite their importance to infrared spectroscopy, however, Bonino s papers did not lead to a strong reception along the same lines within the Italian chemical community. Italian chemists continued to use classical methods of...

The authors of individual chapters are top specialists in their areas. They comprise an international group of scientists and practitioners (Great Britain, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U S.A.) from universities and companies that are advanced in the technology of structured catalysts. The editors express their gratitude to all of the contributors for sharing their experience. The editors also appreciate the administrative assistance of Mrs. Qwen Klis and the help of Ms. Annelics van Diepen in the preparation of the subject index. 

Advanced by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Richard P. Binzel in 1995, the Torino scale is a revision of the Near-Earth Object Hazard Index. In 1999, the International Conference on Near-Earth objects adopted the scale at a meeting in Turino (Turin), Italy (from which the name of the scale is derived). The Torino scale is used to portray the threat to Earth of an impact with a particular comet or asteroid. The measurement scale is based upon agreement between scholars as a means to categorize potential hazards.

The Italian chemical literature, though an important source of information, has found only a limited interest among American chemists. This is in part explainable by the linguistic barriers, and by the fact that it has suffered from a lack of centralized documentation and indexing in Italy. Italian chemical literature seems sure to become of increasing importance to the American chemist.

Passive biomonitoring was applied to estimate the air quality in the La Spezia district, Italy, with regard to a coal-fired power plant and other industrial activities (Nimis et al., 1990). The lichen Parmelia caperata collected from Olea sativa trees was meant to biomonitor the SO2 pollution in the study area. The method, adopted by Nimis et al., was designed to avoid subjectivity, to begin with the strategy of sampling and end with the analysis of data. The applied index, based on frequency of species... 

In a comprehensive report on worldwide studies of micronutrients and the nutrient status of soils, prepared for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (Rome, Italy) and the Institute of Soil Science (Finland), Sillanpaa (1982) described the status of AAO-extractable Mo determinations. On a worldwide basis, determinations of AAO-extractable Mo have not been found to give a sufficiently reliable index of Mo availability to plants.
