Italy Statistics

According to statistics collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (3), U.S. production of cmde talc in 1995 was 1,050,000 metric tons. Montana, Texas, Vermont, and New York were the principal producing U.S. states. Worldwide production was estimated to be 5,845,000 t. China, having 2,400,000 t, was the largest producer in the world after China and the United States, Finland, India, Brazil, France, Italy, and Canada are the next principal producers. World production of talc in 1994 is Hsted in Table 1. 

Mono- and dichlorotoluenes ate used chiefly as chemical iatermediates ia the manufacture of pesticides, dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, and peroxides, and as solvents. Total annual production was limited prior to 1960 but has expanded greatly siace that time. Chlorinated toluenes ate produced ia the United States, Germany, Japan, and Italy. Siace the number of manufacturers is small and much of the production is utilised captively, statistics covering production quantities ate not available. Worldwide annual production of o- and -chlorotoluene is estimated at several tens of thousands of metric tons. Yearly productions of polychlorotoluene ate ia the range of 100—1000 tons. 

There have been suggestions of alterations in sex ratios following accidental environmental exposure to dioxin in Seveso, Italy, in 1976. Between 1977 and 1984, 74 births occurred in the most heavily contaminated zone which showed an excess of females (26 males and 48 females born). Preliminary evidence suggests that the excess was associated with high dioxin exposure in both parents. Over a later period, between 1985 and 1994, the ratio declined (60 males and 64 females) and was no longer statistically significant. 

Application of multivariate statistics to fatty acid data from the Tyrolean Iceman and other mummies is a mosaic stone in the investigation of this mid-European ancestor, which is still a matter of research (Marota and Rollo 2002 Murphy et al. 2003 Nerlich et al. 2003). The iceman is on public display in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, stored at —6°C and 98% humidity, the conditions as they probably were during the last thousands of years. 

The fall of 1983 also saw the North Atlantic Treaty Organization host an Advanced Studies Institute in Cosenza, Italy, entitled Chemometrics Mathematics and Statistics in Chemistry. One hundred scientists—a most unusual collection of chemists, engineers, and statisticians from academia, industry, and government—representing a dozen countries assembled to discuss the role of sophisticated multivariate statistics in the daily routine of an analytical chemistry laboratory.

During the 90s, several cases of resistance to common acaricides employed in beekeeping by Varroa mites (Acari Varroidae) were reported from different countries [7-10]. In Italy, the consequences of the resistance were disastrous colony losses. Available statistics show that in... 

Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Likewise, the reserves in the USA and Canada are 17% and 19.1% respectively. Nevertheless, statistical analysis shows that European UGS have been under-utilized during the latest years. That s why it is recommended for operators to justify planning margins through cost-benefit analysis and other affecting factors, in the liberalized conditions of new gas markets.

In residents of Seveso, Italy, a significant rise in the incidence of birth defects, as compared to pre-accident levels, was observed the year after the accident (Bisanti et al. 1980). A variety of birth defects were observed, but the incidence for any particular defect was not elevated. The authors suggest that the rise in birth defects may not be related to 2,3,7,8-TCDD exposure. Prior to 1976, birth defects in Italy were usually under reported the authors note that the reported incidences of birth defects after the accident (23 per 1,000 births) were similar to incidences reported in other western countries. Thus, the increased incidence may be reflective of the increased reporting rather than an increased number of birth defects. In a study which assessed the risk of birth defects for the 6-year period after the Seveso accident, no increases were observed for the risk of total defects (RR of 1.2, 90% Cl of 0.88-1.64 for zones A and B and RR of 0.97, 90% 0=0.83-1.13 for zones A, B, and R), major defects RR of 1.02, 90% 0=0.64-1.61 for zones A and B and RR of 0.83, 90% 0=0.67-1.04 for zones A, B and R), and minor defects RR of 1.44 90% 0=0.92-2.24 for zones A and B and RR of 1.14, 90% 0=0.92-1.42 for zones A, B and R) (Mastroiacovo et al. 1988). The small number of observed birth defects limits the statistical power of this study to detect significant increases in a specific defect. 

Increases in the risk of several types of cancer have been observed in residents of Seveso, Italy. In the residents with the highest exposure (zone A), no increases in the risk ratio of all malignancies were observed (Bertazzi et al. 1993). However, the small number of zone A residents (724) limits the statistical power of the analysis. Among residents living in zone B (4,824 people), significant increases were observed for the risk of hepatobiliary cancer (risk ratio of 3.3 95% CI=1.3-8.1) and multiple myeloma (risk ratio of 5.3 95% 0=1.2-22.6) in women and lymphoreticulosarcoma in men (RR of 5.7 95% 0=1.7-19). In zone R (31,647 residents), the risk ratio of soft-tissue sarcomas in men (2.8 95%... 

However, as a result of the overall low-production of Vin Santo and its split into different denominations in wine growing areas of central and northern Italy, it is very difficult to find complete information on the production of this wine through the years. Moreover, in the official statistics of wine import and export, Vin Santo and other passito wines are not counted separately, but instead together within the class of all other high-quality wines (Vqprd and Vlqprd).

Feb. 20,1844, Vienna, Austria - Sep. 5,1906 in Duino, Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Italy) is justly famous for his invention of statistical mechanics. At different times in his fife he held chairs in theoretical physics at Graz, and in mathematics at Vienna. He also lectured in philosophy. His principal achievement, and the trigger for innumerable vitriolic attacks from the scientific establishment, was his introduction of probability theory into the fundamental laws of physics. This radical program demohshed two centuries of confidence that the fundamental laws of Nature were deterministic. Astonishingly, he also introduced the concept of discrete energy levels more th an thirty years before the development of quantum mechanics.
