The purpose of this paper is to describe the types of cases typically brought to arbitration in the public sector and to analyze the pattern of case resolutions-in what areas is the grievant or management more likely to win, ose, or reach some compromise. Addihonally, compari sons of public versus private arbitration cases are examined. The authors analyzed 994 public sector arbitration cases from Labor Arbitration Reports: Dispute Settlements over a seven year period of time (1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992). Each case was coded according to the parties involved in the dispute, the type of case, and case resolution. The results of this study suggest that a wide variety of cases are brought to arbitration in the public sector and, depending on the type of grievance, the outcome is quite different. Furthermore, although more cases are found in favor of the union in the public sector rather than private sector, management in both the public and private sectors experience a higher winning percentage. Finally, the results indicate that significantly more termination and fewer suspension cases are brought to arbitration in the private than public sector.

The problem of the organization of effective computations for the calculation of electronic structure of large molecules using self-consistent neglect differential overlap purification method is described.A mathematical model of problem is presented. Semiempirical method of canonical purification for sparse molecules is examined. A parallel implementation algorithms of calculation in the case of block-tridiagonal matrixes using MPI and Fortran95 is analyzed.
