From the Paper
"The practice of considering the proper elements of a good software design patterns plays an essential role to an easy development and maintenance of applications and systems. A good software design pattern provides a well-engineered architecture of programming commands and procedures in which the solution it brings encapsulates the universal solution of the problem it covers, thereby, making it a standard and applicable component to other software development tasks. A real design pattern also should allow the possibility of a community of developers to either fully utilize the same pattern or use the pattern as a solution reference applied with minimal changes."

Abstract
This essay discusses immigration, immigrants and migration patterns in Canada. The paper goes through historical newspapers from 1891 to 1960 and reports on what they said about immigration, immigrants and migration in Canada. The paper looks at the changing pattern of migration over the seventy year period that the newspaper articles span.
From the Paper
"Immigration, Immigrants and Migration Patterns in Canada Canada is a multinational country known for its diversity. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone states, "Canada is a multicultural society with more than 200 ethnic groups recorded in the 2001 census". Most Canadians are so used to this level of diversity that they fail to recognize that it is a relatively recent development. When Canada was a young country it primary culture was extremely xenophobic. This meant that because foreigners were not well liked or widely accepted in Canadian society. This is because the majority of Canadians at this point were of British origin."

Abstract
This paper proposes a research study to test two specific research hypotheses: (1) Children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to view televised acts of violence positively than will children from families with open communication patterns and (2) children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to engage in acts of violence than will children living in families with open communication patterns. The paper also discusses data analysis and anticipated results.
From the Paper
"In addition to the nine self-report attitudinal items on the survey, data regarding the gender, ethnicity, and family constellation of each respondent will also be collected. Specifically, the participating teacher will indicate these variables on each survey and will also identify the degree to which each respondent has engaged in verbally or physically aggressive and/or violent behavior in the classroom, using classroom records and school disciplinary referrals to identify the number and type of acting-out behaviors observed in the course of the present school year."

Abstract
This paper explores the patterns of maturation found in children's literature with reference to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. It finds that in modern children's literature the typical gender roles are reversed, with Harry acting on behalf of society (typically a female pattern) and Charlotte maturing as an individual (typically male pattern). Anne of Green Gables and Treasure Island are used to display the typical patterns.
From the Paper
"In children's literature gender roles have been laid quite clearly. These patterns exist from the early fairy tales to present day novels. Recently some authors have attempted to reverse the typical gender roles of characters; giving male protagonists more passive and nurturing characteristics, and females greater abilities to become active individuals. This is particularly apparent in stories about maturation."

Blood Pattern Analysis, 2002.
Describes the process of examining blood patterns at the scene of a crime.

Abstract
Bloodstain Pattern Analysis is a study of how certain activities and forces influence the pattern of a bloodstain and how this can be used as evidence in the investigation and prosecution of a crime. The paper shows that the art of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis involves a lot more than looking at blood at a crime scene. It explains that experts must also know the characteristics of blood, the active nature involved in bleeding and how blood in motion acts. Other things blood pattern experts need to consider are the surface on which blood is found and what effects these surfaces have on the bloodstain in question.
From the Paper
"The surface can also affect the size of the bloodstain droplets. When a drop of blood comes in contact with a surface that is hard and smooth, it can cause the drop of blood to break up into smaller droplets. The smaller droplets will still be moving in the same direction as their original parent drop. As with any liquid, the laws of physics apply to the motion of blood through air and space. The Encyclopedia of Forensic Sciences describes surface effects on bloodstain appearance as being of utmost importance. The encyclopedia points out that the shape and width-to-length ratio is used for reconstruction and interpretation of bloodstain patterns. The width-to-length ratio is used to make trigonometric calculations to determine the impact of bloodstains. The surfaces that the stains are found on have profound effects on both the shape and the width-to-length ratio. If the surface characteristics distort the appearance or destroy the shape of a bloodstain, then it will not be considered a viable stain for interpretation because it can alter the width-to-length ratio, which, in turn, will result in an inaccurate determination of its angle of impact (Introduction)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the idea of patterns according to Newman's theory. This paper reveals that according to Newman, the pattern as a whole provides knowledge of the small parts. This paper discusses the importance of these patterns as stressed by Newman, and others.
From the Paper
"Patterns, for Newman, are essential for understanding our experience. Patterns can provide insight and meaning into our lives because "the pattern of the whole already contains knowledge of the parts" (Newman, 2002, p. 3). It is through pattern that we can discover the meaning of our experience and our existence. The purpose of this paper is to identify the meaning of the patterns in the story of Miss N. Meaning is interrelated with pattern and one allows the other to be seen. "Meaning in a person's life is not only critical but a way of identifying pattern" (Newman, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper presents detailed descriptions of previous evidence and theory for neanderthal subsistence pattern of a scavenger plus an attempt to topple that theory in light of the new evidence at hand. This new evidence includes isotopic data that suggest a meat only diet and other studies that suggest wide spread active hunting through wear patterns on tools. These point to a subsistence pattern of a top level predator not that of a lowly scavenger.
From the Paper
"Of any ancient fossil hominid it?s a hands down, no contest winner for the prize of best known and understood1. Say ?Neanderthal?, and archaeologist and laymen alike would not have to work hard to conjure up the classical short stocky body frame, the indicative brow ridge and the protruding facial features of the Neanderthal people. But it is not all that simple, while we may have a plethora of faunal and lithic remains including those of the skeleton, the pictures of life style, diet, culture, and land use for example that these paint are not as complete as one might think. Often times the pictures one can paint from these remains are very cloudy take Neanderthal subsistence patterns and diet for instance. Neanderthal subsistence has been under heated controversy from its infancy. The two camps have their talons well immersed in the flesh of the faunal and lithic fossil records. The prevailing theory has been that Neanderthal subsistence and acquisition of foodstuffs as primarily a scavenging life style. However, in light of recent discoveries and new isotopic analysis a review of the lithic and faunal evidence is necessary and many are revising their previous theories. The picture is dramatically changing, isotopic data along with Neanderthal contemporaries at the KRM site in Africa are providing archaeologists with a picture of an organized people who were at the top of their environments trophic pyramid. Recent research on hominid strategies for meat procurement has focused on the interpretations of bones recovered from archaeological sites. Binford?s 1984 analysis of faunal collections from Middle Stone Age deposits of the Klasies River Mouth Cave in South Africa identified carnivore activity and hominid scavenging of carnivore kills as major sources of the large mammal remains at the early Late Pleistocene site. From the skeletal parts represented and patterns of cut-marks on the bones, Binford concluded, ?in short, there is nothing in the data from Klasies River Mouth to suggest technologically-aided hunting, or even tactical hunting, as such? (1984). Although this interpretation of the Klasies River Mouth fauna is disputed by Klein (1986), Binford?s conclusion has been extended to the whole of hominid subsistence prior to the Middle-Upper Paleolithic transition of the Late Pleistocene (Binford 1984). For the sake of argument and our purpose of substantiating Neanderthals as top-level hunters, Binford?s extension will serve to illustrate the faunal evidence for scavenging vs. hunting."

Abstract
The paper describes the different weather patterns focusing on storms. The paper deals with small-scale weather patterns, the causes of storms and the nine different types of storms. The paper concludes with a discussion on predicting storms.
From the Paper
"The primary weather producers in the middle latitudes are large centers of low pressure that generally move from west to east, called middle-latitude cyclones. Middle-latitude cyclones begin along a front where air masses are moving in opposite directions. The frontal surface usually takes on a wave shape, which becomes more defined as the cyclone matures, and a cold and a warm front evolve."

"Patterns" by Amy Lowell, 2005.
This paper analyzes the poem "Patterns" by Amy Lowell, which illuminates a woman's search to find personal freedom and dignity under the patriarchal conditions of the 1940s and 50s.

Abstract
This paper explains that the poem "Patterns" by Amy Lowell is written in the first person with a nameless narrator presenting her reaction to the death of her lover. The author points out that, instead having this protagonist screaming and crying, Lowell creates a woman trying to keep the appearance of being calm thus creating a very dynamic character who is at war with herself as well as with society's expectations. The paper states that there is no particular meter in the poem and the lengths of lines vary greatly with some lines having as many as five times as many syllables as the line that follows them. The author concludes that the poem is told in such an intimate way with such variation in form that the reader can't help but appreciate all the ways that a pattern can be a prison.
From the Paper
"There are obviously feminist issues within this poem, because the narrator is a woman during an era of patriarchy. The poem also seems to pose questions about what it means to be feminine. In the Victorian age, the "feminine" physique was an hourglass figure, exaggerated - and sometimes created by - whalebone corsets and stiff fabrics such as brocade. The speaker describes wearing an outfit that causes her to have difficulty breathing, and high-heeled shoes that she is "tripping" in, rather than walking comfortably."

Abstract
This paper outlines all factors attributing to behavioral patterns of kangaroos. The paper discusses a study which aims to observe a variety of types of innate and learned behavior in animals and explain the probable survival value of the behavior for the animal and its species. From environmental factors to captivity issues, this report specifies every possible factor attributing to the Kangaroo's behavior. An appendix of 14 pictures taken of my observations is included.
From the Paper
"The behaviors observed in the enclosure had little effect on the Kangaroos survival ? the one exception would be Parental Behaviour, where the Mother Kangaroos protection is essential for the Joeys survival. The enclosure is protected from any predators, and the Kangaroos are provided for all their food, water, and resting areas that they require. Apart from the Emus, Pigeons, Wallabies and Humans, the Kangaroos did not have to protect their territory from any predator species. This reduces the territorial and dominant behaviours that in the wild would have been displayed."

Abstract
An examination of how society was impacted by the reorganization of work patterns in the ancient societies of Greece, Rome, and London. The paper explains how some professions gained in popularity, while others saw their earnings decrease. The banking industry was in its early beginnings during this period, and the term ?interest? originated then. It is still used in accounting practices today.
From the Paper
"There began to be a shifting of work patterns in a number of professions. This was noted in some of the more important and higher paid jobs such as architects who built structures, towns and buildings, and were highly in demand and paid high wages for their services; and armorers who were usually blacksmiths as well, but as war became a more frequent event many blacksmiths could afford to relinquish their skills of crafting metalworks and strictly pursue the field of marking armor. Most Armorers were members of the Middle Class and were often very wealthy."
