  • Endocrinology
    Endocrinology Series Editor Andrea Lenzi Department of Experimental Medicine Section of Medical Pathophysiology Food Science and Endocrinology Sapienza University of Rome Rome, Italy Series Co-Editor Emmanuele A. Jannini Department of Systems Medicine University of Rome Tor Vergata Rome, Italy Within the health sciences, Endocrinology has an unique and pivotal role. This old, but continuously new science is the study of the various hormones and their actions and disorders in the body. The matter of Endocrinology are the glands, i.e., the organs that produce hormones, active on the metabolism, reproduction, food absorp- tion and utilization, growth and development, behavior control, and several other complex functions of the organisms. Since hormones interact, affect, regulate, and control virtually all body functions, Endocrinology not only is a very complex science, multidisciplinary in nature, but is one with the highest scientific turnover. Knowledge in the Endocrinological sciences is continuously changing and growing. In fact, the field of Endocrinology and Metabolism is one where the highest number of scientific publications continuously flourishes. The number of scientific journals dealing with hormones and the regulation of body chemistry is dramatically high. Furthermore, Endocrinology is directly related to genetics, neurology, immunology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, nephrology, orthopedics, cardiology, oncology, gland surgery, psychology, psychiatry, internal medicine, and basic sciences. All these fields are interested in updates in Endocrinology. The aim of the MRW in Endocrinology is to update the Endocrinological matter using the knowledge of the best experts in each section of Endocrinology: basic endocrinology, neuroendocri- nology, endocrinological oncology, pancreas with diabetes and other metabolic disorders, thyroid, parathyroid and bone metabolism, adrenals and endocrine hyper- tension, sexuality, reproduction, and behavior.

  • Mapping Excellence in National Research Systems: the Case of Italy1
    MAPPING EXCELLENCE IN NATIONAL RESEARCH SYSTEMS: THE CASE OF ITALY1 GIOVANNI ABRAMO Laboratory for Studies of Research and Technology Transfer, Dept of Management, School of Engineering, University of Rome “Tor Vergata” – Italy and Italian Research Council CIRIACO ANDREA D’ANGELO, FLAVIA DI COSTA Laboratory for Studies of Research and Technology Transfer, Dept of Management, School of Engineering, University of Rome “Tor Vergata” - Italy The study of the concept of “scientific excellence” and the methods for its measurement and evaluation is taking on increasing importance in the development of research policies in many nations. However, scientific excellence results as difficult to define in both conceptual and operational terms, because of its multi-dimensional and highly complex character. The literature on the theme is limited to few studies of an almost pioneering character. This work intends to contribute to the state of the art by exploring a bibliometric methodology which is effective, simple and inexpensive, and which further identifies “excellent” centers of research by beginning from excellence of the individual researchers affiliated with such centers. The study concentrates on the specific case of public research organizations in Italy, analyzing 109 scientific categories of research in the so called “hard” sciences and identifying 157 centers of excellence operating in 60 of these categories. The findings from this first application of the methodology should be considered exploratory and indicative. With a longer period of observation and the addition of further measurements, making the methodology more robust, it can be extended and adapted to a variety of national and supranational contexts, aiding with policy decisions at various levels.

  • Invest in Intelligence
    Why invest in Pisa Invest in intelligence Pisa, where history meets the future. Regione Toscana Index Six good reasons to invest here pag. 5 1. Pisa and its context 7 2. Skills and talents 11 3. Operating costs 23 4. Accessibility and infrastructures 27 5. Economic fabric 31 6. Support services 37 AN EXEMPLARY STORY am happy to tell my story if it can help to understand the possibilities that this city offers. I was born in ’64, on the 15th of February in Pisa, the first of seven children. My father was a wandering musician, my mother was a housewife, severe and religious. I was never religious – I even contrasted Ithe Church – until I became older and was obliged to change my mind. I was quite a good student, but when I tried to support myself with a scholarship I failed. Thanks to the long-sightedness of a businessman who believed in young people and innovation, I managed to continue studying. Even though I was good at Physics and Maths, my father wanted me to study Medicine. After many years I can now say that I didn’t like it and never obtained my degree. In spite of this, and even because of certain things I had invented in the meantime, I obtained a three-year contract when I was 25 and began teaching at Pisa University. I wasn’t exactly a normal teacher and I said many things that the academicians found hard to swallow. They could not even accept the fact that I refused to wear the toga as I taught.
