The article gives an overview of Ukrainian legislation and experiences concerning antitrust damages actions. The analysis has led to a number of conclusions: private claims are rare in Ukraine due to difficulties in obtaining evidence, high legal costs, and lacking confidence in the Ukrainian court system. The paper gives examples of Ukrainian private antitrust enforcement practice and provides a statistical analysis of the dynamics of ‘compensated’ damages caused by antitrust infringements in Ukraine. The value of ‘compensated’ damages is compared to the value of the economic effect of stopping antitrust infringements, as well as to the value of the overall welfare loss deriving from market power in the national economy. Finally, some new sources of damages caused by market power are discussed considering the development perspectives of this branch of antitrust activity.

Court Of Appeal

The author discusses areas of interest revealed by a statistical analysis of sentence appeals in the Alberta Court of Appeal during the Laycraft period. First he notes the uniqueness of the Alberta Court of Appeal among other Canadian appellate courts, Alberta having a larger amount of sentence appeals than any other jurisdiction. He then goes on to analyze appeals by type of offence, panel composition, the origin of the appeal, and other factors, in each revealing some surprising relationships. In particular, several myths about judicial sentencing are shown to lack statistical support.

This study assesses the effect of the Charter of Rights on legislative policy-making. Unlike earlier studies limited to the Charter decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada, this study identifies and analyzes all reported federal and provincial Court of appeal decisions from 1982 through 1988 in which a statute was declared invalid, in whole or in part. The authors discuss which Charter rights result in the most ' 'nullifications "of statutes, and judicial activism under the Charter, using a statistical analysis to support their assertions. The study also finds that the Charter has had a greater substantive effect on provincial jurisdiction, than on federal creating a tension between provincial rights and minority rights which can be moderated or exacerbated by different modes of judicial interpretation.

Court Of Appeal

In this paper, the author deals with the legal foundations of judicial control over errors of law allegedly committed by administrative authorities. The paper also considers the scope of error of law on the face of the record as a ground of review. More specifically, the author has examined all the decisions rendered by the Quebec Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, and the Supreme Court of Canada in 1980 and 1981 where there was an allegation of error of law. From this statistical analysis, the author describes and explains the different, and seemingly contradictory, results achieved by these different jurisdictions. The author adds some comments on the constitutionality of privative clauses excluding judicial review of non-jurisdictional errors of law.

Court Of Appeal

Although the Provincial Courts of Appeal perform the same role within the Canadian judicial system, they do not share a similarity in caseload. Alberta's Court of Appeal is unique in the sense that although Alberta is the fourth largest province, it handles more conviction appeals as an absolute number than any other province. Through an analysis of various statistical surveys. McCormick explores this phenomenon. His work centres around conviction from 1985 to 1992 and it reveals trends that have developed during that time.

If we make a set of measurements, such as narrow-band or multicolour photo-electric measurements, which are designed to improve a scheme of classification, and in particular if they are designed to extend the number of dimensions of classification, i.e. the number of classification parameters, then some important problems of analytical procedure arise. First, it is important not to reproduce the errors of the classification scheme which we are trying to improve. Second, when trying to extend the number of dimensions of classification we have little or nothing with which to test the validity of the new parameters.Problems similar to these have occurred in other areas of scientific research (notably psychology and education) and the branch of Statistics called Multivariate Analysis has been developed to deal with them. The techniques of this subject are largely unknown to astronomers, but, if carefully applied, they should at the very least ensure that the astronomer gets the maximum amount of information out of his data and does not waste his time looking for information which is not there. More optimistically, these techniques are potentially capable of indicating the number of classification parameters necessary and giving specific formulas for computing them, as well as pinpointing those particular measurements which are most crucial for determining the classification parameters.

Spectrum Imaging

As interest for parallel EELS spectrum imaging grows in laboratories equipped with commercial spectrometers, different approaches were used in recent years by a few research groups in the development of the technique of spectrum imaging as reported in the literature. Either by controlling, with a personal computer both the microsope and the spectrometer or using more powerful workstations interfaced to conventional multichannel analysers with commercially available programs to control the microscope and the spectrometer, spectrum images can now be obtained. Work on the limits of the technique, in terms of the quantitative performance was reported, however, by the present author where a systematic study of artifacts detection limits, statistical errors as a function of desired spatial resolution and range of chemical elements to be studied in a map was carried out The aim of the present paper is to show an application of quantitative parallel EELS spectrum imaging where statistical analysis is performed at each pixel and interpretation is carried out using criteria established from the statistical analysis and variations in composition are analyzed with the help of information retreived from t/γ maps so that artifacts are avoided.
