This chapter examines independent distribution and how it is treated under EU competition law. Since the 1960s, it is acknowledged that vertical agreements can entail restrictions of competition—generally called ‘vertical restraints’—which deserve competition law scrutiny. While the early case law and Regulations adopted in the field focused primarily on restrictions of intra-brand competition, a more liberal and economic approach was introduced with the promulgation of Regulation 2790/1999. The new legal framework rested on a basic economic premise: the ability of a vertical agreement to produce anticompetitive effects hinges predominantly on the market power of the parties to the agreement. With the expiry of Regulation 2790/1999 on 31 May 2010, but also with the growth of large retailers throughout Europe and the rise of internet distribution, the Commission initiated a review process in July 2009 which culminated in the adoption of Regulation 330/2010 and of a new set of Guidelines.

Abstract In this assay we used polystyrene-tube-attached rabbit antibodies against prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) that had been purified to homogeneity from human prostate. The amount of immunoreactive acid phosphatase was determined directly by its enzymic activity in the solid-phase-bound immune complex. The detection limit was 0.05 U/L (0.13 microgram/L), the CVs between 4.3 and 10.8%. Investigating the organ specificity of PAP, we found that some cross-reacting acid phosphatase activity could be so measured in human kidney, leukocytes, and platelets, all of which probably contribute to the circulating "prostatic" acid phosphatase that normally is present in serum. Diurnal and day-to-day variations in serum PAP activity were as much as 100% in healthy subjects. Individuals without prostatic diseases (n = 92) had values for serum PAP activity up to 0.36 U/L (0.94 microgram/L), in an age-independent distribution; patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (n = 62) showed values up to 0.48 U/L (1.25 micrograms/L). With PAP activity of 0.38 U/L or 1.0 microgram/L (90th percentile of the prostatic group) as the upper limit of "normality," overall sensitivity (stages A-D) for detection of prostatic cancer in 33 essentially untreated patients was 65%. Examples for the followup of therapy of prostatic cancer by measurement of serum PAP with this assay are described.

In today's business environment, as the competitiveness becomes increasingly fierce, improving the business performance becomes more important. A major factor affecting business operations is distribution systems performance control. In a distribution network, if an independent point well manages its performance, the efficiency of the entire enterprise will improve. In order to do this, it is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of each distribution point. However, at present, this evaluation is usually based on experience or only a few indicators such as revenue or profit. The effectiveness of a distribution point should be simultaneously considered for sales with resources used such as costs, manpower or business market characteristics such as the number of similar stores within 4 kilometers radius... Therefore, DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method is proposed and used to evaluate the performance of independent distribution points and analyze the factors that affect efficiency by the Tobit regression model. This model was tested for a food distribution system in Ho Chi Minh City to prove its feasibility and usefulness.

Salt-and-pepper noise suppression for vector-valued images usually employs vector median filtering, total variation L1 model, diffusion methods and variants. These approaches, however, often introduce excessive smoothing and can result in extensive visual feature blurring and are suitable only for images with low intensity noise. In this paper, a new method, as an important preprocessing step in cyber-physical systems, is presented to suppress salt-and-pepper noise that can overcomes this limitation. This method first detects the corrupted pixels and then restores them using channel-wise anisotropic diffusion. The means is twofold. On the one hand, the marginal approach is used to perform noise suppression separately in each channel because the contaminative pixel components are of independent distribution. On the other hand, a decision-based anisotropic diffusion method is applied to each channel to restores them. The anisotropic diffusion is an energy-dissipating process with time, and dependent on geometric analysis of shape of the energy surface. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method for impulsive noise removal achieves the state-of-the-arts results.
