Since the mid-1990’s the psychological and sociological concept of trust has received increasing attention in the field of electronic commerce by many scholars and was recognized as one of the main reasons why a high number of consumers are still reluctant from buying on the Internet. During about the same period of time the idea of design patterns and pattern languages, originally developed in...

Rectangulations are partitions of a square into axis-aligned rectangles. A number of results provide bijections between combinatorial equivalence classes of rectangulations and families of pattern-avoiding permutations. Other results deal with local changes involving a single edge of a rectangulation, referred to as flips, edge rotations, or edge pivoting. Such operations induce a graph on equi...

We review how the monotone pattern compares to other patterns in terms of enumerative results on pattern avoiding permutations. We consider three natural definitions of pattern avoidance, give an overview of classic and recent formulas, and provide some new results related to limiting distributions.

this paper assesses the design guidelines of different classification codes for the liquefied natural gas carriers considering the effect of liquid sloshing. with regard the increasing importance of lng carriers in today’s marine transportation, and also considering that the marine accidents involve significant loss, classification societies by regulating national and international standards ai...

Software Design Patterns are reusable designs providing common solutions to the similar kind of problems in software development. Creational patterns are that category of design patterns which aid in how objects are created, composed and represented. They abstract the creation of objects from clients thus making the application more adaptable to future requirements changes. In this work, it has...

In this paper we consider the enumeration of binary trees avoiding non-contiguous binary tree patterns. We begin by computing closed formulas for the number of trees avoiding a single binary tree pattern with 4 or fewer leaves and compare these results to analogous work for contiguous tree patterns. Next, we give an explicit generating function that counts binary trees avoiding a single non-con...

I propose a modern OO language update of the Parameterized Factory Creational Pattern [Gamma95]. It is compact since it folds the Factory method into an abstract base class, and imposes a package structure on its concrete subclasses. The design is demonstrated in Java, but is also applicable to C# and other modern object-oriented languages.
