Vincular and covincular patterns are generalizations of classical patterns allowing restrictions on the indices and values of the occurrences in a permutation. In this paper we study the integer sequences arising as the enumerations of permutations ...

Buildings are the key components of urban areas and society as a complex system. A life cycle assessment was applied to estimate the environmental impacts of the resources applied in the building envelope, floor slabs, and interior walls of the ...

Environmental life cycle costing (ELCC) is a tool which aggregates five categories of monetary costs across a project's life cycle: investment, operation, maintenance, end-of-life, and externalities. This paper summarises the results from the first two ...
