Traditional sketching with pen on paper can be seen as to visualize the memory. Limited to a framework of influences, experiences and ideas the outcome will result in something already known.In searching for knowledge an experimental sketch method counteracts this framework. The aim of this work is to explore morph animation of archetypical garments. Shape interpolation in Adobe Flash software makes it possible to calculate the way between two silhouettes. The result is a third silhouette, a morph of selected garments and depends on where the animation is paused. The work also deals with the gap between visualize(sketching) and making(construction/realization). In the investigation a new way of using animation as an sketch method have been found. Also how to use computer based 3D sketching in fashion design and an alternative construction method based on paper craft techniques have been developed. The collection consists of garments based on a morph between a classic skirt and a blazer to discuss new visions and possibility’s in fashion. Can the way we sketch, construct and produce affect garment definitions? And how could the findings in this work being used in a commercial industry. / Program: Modedesignutbildningen

Often these species occur in sympatry and present overlap in their flowering periods. Recent studies have revealed the occurrence of pollinators sharing among synchronopatric species within the genus Psychotria, with a variation in this sharing according to the interacting species. In the present study, it was investigated whether the exchange of heterospecific pollen occurs between sympatric species and what the intensity of this flow is in comparison with the intraspecific flow. The floral synchrony and nectar production among these sympatric species of Psychotria were also verified to confirm the possibility of interspecific pollen exchange in this system. The data collection took place during the months of November and December of 2015, in a semidecidual forest in the Municipal Park Setor Santa Cruz, municipality of Catalão, GO. The collected data were: floral phenology, nectar production, reciprocity between anthers and stigma, and rate of fluorescent powder flow between species and their floral morphotypes. Our data showed that the flowering peaks were synchronous among Psychotria species, with a significant difference in the nectar production between the species, being larger and renewable after the first removal for P. nitidula, but with higher sugar concentration in P. prunifolia. In relation to reciprocity intraspecific and interspecific, there was no deviation from that expected for distal species, with the reciprocity being greater between the reproductive organs of the same species than between the reproductive organs of different species. Comparing the fluorescent powder flow, it was observed that P. prunifolia presented a higher rate of exclusive visits, while P. nitidula presented more illegitimate visits, mainly for its thrum morph, which promoted greater donation of heterospecific fluorescent powder. P. hoffmannseggiana presented low intensity of donation and reception of fluorescent powder, being all of them interspecific. Therefore, there was a greater illegitimate fluorescent powder flow among the study species than legitimate. / Diversas espécies de Psychotria L. são comuns nos sub-bosques das matas semideciduais da região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Muitas vezes estas espécies ocorrem em simpatria e apresentam sobreposição em seus períodos de floração. Estudos recentes revelaram a ocorrência de partilha de polinizadores entre espécies sincronopátricas dentro do gênero Psychotria, havendo uma variação nessa partilha de acordo com as espécies envolvidas. No presente estudo, foi averiguado se ocorre a troca de pólen heteroespecífico entre três espécies simpátricas (Psychotria prunifolia, Psychotria nitidula e Psychotria hoffmannseggiana) e qual é a intensidade deste fluxo em comparação com o fluxo intraespecífico intra e intermorfos. A sincronia floral e a produção de néctar entre essas espécies também foram verificadas para se confirmar a possibilidade de troca de pólen interespecíficos neste sistema. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante os meses de novembro e dezembro de 2015, em uma mata semidecidual no Parque Municipal Setor Santa Cruz, município de Catalão, GO. Os dados coletados foram fenologia floral, produção de néctar, reciprocidade entre os órgãos reprodutivos e taxa de fluxo de pó fluorescente entre as espécies e seus morfotipos florais. Nossos dados mostraram que os picos de floração foram sincrônicos entre as espécies de Psychotria, com diferença significativa na produção de néctar entre as espécies, sendo maior e com renovação após a primeira retirada para P. nitidula, porém com maior concentração de açúcar em P. prunifolia. Em relação a reciprocidade intraespecífica e interespecífica, não houve desvio do esperado para espécies distílicas, sendo a reciprocidade maior entre os órgãos reprodutivos da mesma espécie do que entre órgãos reprodutivos de espécies diferentes. Comparando o fluxo de pó fluorescente, notou-se que P. prunifolia apresentou maior taxa de visitas exclusivas, enquanto P. nitidula apresentou mais visitas ilegítimas, principalmente para seu morfo brevistilo que promoveu maior doação de pó fluorescente heteroespecífico. Já P. hoffmannseggiana apresentou uma baixa intensidade de doação e recebimento de pó fluorescente, sendo todas de forma interespecífica. Portanto, para as espécies distílicas do estudo, houve maior fluxo de pó fluorescente de forma ilegítima que legítima.

Para isso, foi necessário identificar um grupo de empresas que divulgam objetivos semelhantes com relação a um determinado contexto, que é o caso do Programa Em Boa Companhia (PEBC) da BM&F BOVESPA (2011). No caso, o PEBC reúne empresas que buscam o desenvolvimento sustentável e outros elementos em suas atividades, sendo possível explicitar um modelo de referência próprio do PEBC. Para a extração das variáveis necessárias, a explicitação dos modelos e a comparação entre eles, foram utilizadas as metodologias que compõem o MORPH, que é o Modelo Orientado à Representação do Pensamento Humano. Assim, foi feita a comparação entre o modelo de referência e o que é divulgado pelos sites de empresas de sete setores diferentes, que compõem a lista do PEBC e que são as chamadas empresas SRI, que contém Investimentos Socialmente Responsáveis. Ao analisar a aderência entre os modelos do PEBC e das empresas procurou-se investigar se os modelos aderentes, de fato, adicionam valor para os clientes e para os acionistas. Dentre os resultados obtidos, o setor de Telefonia foi o que mais se sobressaiu em relação aos demais, porque contém a empresa com o modelo mais similar ao modelo do PEBC, a empresa Tim, e, juntamente à empresa Vivo, são capazes de adicionar valor tanto aos clientes como aos acionistas, de forma satisfatória. Dentre as conclusões deste trabalho, verificou-se que as ações de responsabilidade ambiental e social das empresas pesquisadas apresentam a adição de valor para os clientes e para os acionistas de forma desigual. Existem mais empresas que adicionam valor para o acionista e são proativas nas ações de responsabilidade socioambiental do que empresas que adicionam valor para o cliente e são proativas nessas ações. Com relação à aplicação dos instrumentos de gestão de conhecimento, que são evidentes quando conhecimentos são explicitados pelas empresas, foi possível comparar os diferentes conhecimentos das diferentes empresas por meio de algoritmos do software MORPH (2011), de forma a verificar a similaridade entre eles / Abstract: The present work treats the application of knowledge management tools to value addition to the clients and to the investors, through a descriptive research. For this, was necessary identify a group of companies that promote similar goals with respect to a particular thought, which is the case of In Good Company Program (PEBC) of BM&F BOVESPA. In case, the PEBC brings together companies that seek sustainable development and other elements in its activities, it is possible to explain by the own reference model of PEBC. For the extraction of the necessary variables, the explanation of the models and the comparison between them, was used the methodologies that compose the MORPH, which is the Model-Oriented for the Representation of Human Thought. Thus, the comparison was made between the reference model and what is promoted by the companies' sites of seven different sectors, which compose the list of the PEBC and companies that are called SRI, which contains Socially Responsible Investing. By analysis the adhesion between the PEBC model and companies' models, tried to investigate if the members, in fact, add value to the customers and to the investors. Among the results obtained, the Telephony sector was what stood out more than the others, because it contains the company with the most similar model to the model of the PEBC, Tim company, and jointly to the Vivo company, are able to add value to both customers and investors, satisfactorily. Among the conclusions of this work, it was found that the actions of environmental and social responsibility of companies surveyed present the added value for customers and investors unevenly. There are more companies that add value to the investor and are proactive environmental responsibility in the actions than companies that add value to the customer and are proactive in these actions. Regarding to the application of knowledge management tools, which are evident when knowledge is made explicit by the companies, it was possible to compare the different knowledges from different companies over the algorithms of MORPH (2011) software, in order to verify the similarity between them / Mestrado / Tecnologia e Inovação / Mestre em Tecnologia

What are some of the methods for rigging and animating a face in 3D and which method is preferable when and under which circumstances? In this report I will examine a few of the different methods available when rigging and animating a face in 3D. I will be working mainly with Autodesk 3D Studio Max so some knowledge with it is preferable to fully understand the process. At the end of the report I will look at the positive as well as negative aspects of each method as well as which method is preferable in what kind of production or with which assets.

Facial animation is an integral and increasing part of 3D games. This study investigates how the two most common methods of 3D facial animation compare to each other. The goal of this study is to summarize the situation and to provide animators and software developers with relevant recommendations. The two most utilized methods of facial animation; morph target animation and bone driven animation are examined with their strong and weak aspects presented. The investigation is based on literature analysis as well as a comparative case study approach which was used for comparing multiple formal and informal sources according to seven parameters such as: performance, production time, technical limitations, details and realism, ease of usability, cross platform compatibility and common combinations of systems. The strengths and weaknesses of the two methods of 3D facial animation are compared and discussed followed by a conclusion part which present recommendation to which is the preferable method to use under different circumstances. In some cases, the results are inconclusive due to a lack of data.  It is concluded that a combination of morph target and bone driven animation will give the most artistic control if time is not limited.

O objetivo é evidenciar o conhecimento contido no agente textual, representá-lo graficamente para compreendê-lo, facilitando o processo de aprendizagem e refinando o estudo dos conteúdos de um texto. Pois considera-se que nem sempre autores deixam as ideias explícitas (suas estruturas mentais) em artigos científicos, de forma clara e objetiva. O MACAT é um processo composto por três etapas, estruturadas em diretrizes para a extração de objetos de agentes textuais diversos. Apresenta-se além do desenvolvimento do método, a aplicação do MACAT baseado em MORPH, para investigação de artigos científicos, visando à exemplificação de sua utilização e demonstrando sua utilidade na explicitação de conhecimento. Com isso, é póssível evidenciar a dinâmica dos processos contidos nos sistemas organizacionais, que apresentam dificuldades de construir o aprendizado, em razão da ausência de instrumentos pelos quais se possa avaliar a progressão do conhecimento. Como resultado, demonstra-se que o método torna possível a extração e representação do conhecimento de agentes humanos externalizados em agentes textuais, permitindo a compreensão de modelos mentais, alavancando a tomada de decisão em situações complexas / Abstract: This research is based on developing on a method for the Knowledge Acquisition of Textual Agents based on MORPH - Oriented Model to the Human Thought Representation - which allows you to extraction of a textual agent's mental model. The goal is to demonstrate the knowledge present in textual agent, representing it graphically by facilitating its understanding and the learning process and refining the study of the contents of a text. Because it is considered that the authors don't always make explicit ideas (mental structures) of scientific articles, clearly and objectively. The MACAT is a process composed of three steps, structured guidelines for the extraction of objects of various textual agents. It is presented in addition to method development, the application of MACAT based on MORPH for research papers, aimed at the exemplification of its use and demonstrating its usefulness in explicit knowledge. This makes it possible to demonstrate the dynamics organizational processes in computer systems in those which have difficulty in learning to build, due to the lack of instruments that can evaluate the evolution of knowledge. As a result, it is shown that the method makes possible the extraction and representation of knowledge into human agents that externalized in textual agents, able to understanding the mental models, leveraging the decision-making in complex situations / Mestrado / Tecnologia e Inovação / Mestre em Tecnologia

In this study an attempt is made to describe the morphological apects of Tshiguvhu. In chapter 1, it is indicated that historically, there was extensive early contact between Vhaguvhu and Balobedu and Tlokwa. In ,chapters 2 and 3, nouns and pronouns are analysed morphologically. Some similarities and differences between Tshiguvhu and Tshivenda are highlighted. These differences are ascribed to influences from Lobedu and Tlokwa. In chapters 4 and 5, the form of the verb and the use of verb forms in various tenses, where applicable, are described morphologically. Some verb roots and extensions have been influenced by Northern Sotho dialects whereas some have not. In chapter 6, the morphology of adverbs, interrogatives, conjunctions, ideophones and interjections are briefly described. In conclusion, it is indicated that Tshiguvhu is a dialect of Venda because of its cultural and historical bonds with Venda, although linguistically it shares some features with certain Northern Sotho dialects. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)

This paper describes the problem of three-dimensional object correspondence and presents an algorithm for matching two three-dimensional colored surfaces using polygon reduction and the minimization of an energy function. At the core of this algorithm is a novel data-dependent multi-resolution pyramid for polygonal surfaces. The algorithm is general to correspondence between any two manifolds of the same dimension embedded in a higher dimensional space. Results demonstrating correspondences between various objects are presented and a method for incorporating user input is also detailed.

The Pigeon River watershed has been the focus of a ¬¬major recovery project to reintroduce fish and other aquatic species into the river where they were historically present. A paper mill at Pigeon River Kilometer/Mile (PRKM 102.1/PRM 63.2) began operations in 1908 and discharged effluents which had a detrimental impact on the aquatic wildlife. Recent modifications to the mill have significantly improved effluent quality such that most aquatic organisms are recolonizing the river. The present study is a baseline survey of crayfish species in the Pigeon River and its tributaries; it also includes a comparison of the mean Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) in four different reaches of the stream and documents diversity upstream and downstream of the paper mill. Crayfish are important to the aquatic ecosystem and food web because they serve as cutters that help to break down leaf litter and carrion and are also a food source for predators. Crayfish were collected using modified minnow traps and electroshocking and by snorkeling along ‘turning’ rocks; the method used was based on characteristics of the stream reach sampled, including water depth, flow, transparency, and type of substrate. A total of 1,320 crayfish specimens representing seven species was collected during the eight month study. Crayfish were found in nine Pigeon River tributaries , in the main stem of the Pigeon River upstream of the paper mill (PRKM 102.1/PRM 63.2), and below the Progress Energy Dam (PRKM 61.1/PRM 38.0). No crayfish were found downstream of the paper mill in the river itself; however, crayfish were found downstream from the Progress Energy Dam down to the Pigeon River’s confluence with the French Broad River.
