Current production methods for creating a motion system for a deformable digital character model involve providing an underlying joint structure based o of a T-Pose, A-Pose or another arbitrary bind pose of the character. A bind pose is required to establish the skeleton-to-geometry spatial relationship that will be used as a mathematical reference to determine geometry deformations in animated poses. Using a set of human motion capture performances as input animation, the impact of the standard T-Pose and A-Pose on the stretching and compression of human character model geometry is compared relative to novel mean poses derived from each performance. Results demonstrate that using an averaged joint position of each specific performance as the bind pose for the performance reduces the overall deformation of the model. Appropriate applications of the mean pose as a bind pose could impact the resources required to repair deformation artifacts in animated deformable digital characters.

O problema central que direciona a presente reflexão pode ser assim enunciado: Qual é o papel dos padrões informacionais na ação colaborativa dos seres humanos, concebidos como sistemas complexos? Esse problema será inicialmente analisado a partir da hipótese elaborada por Bateson, segundo a qual relações de dependência se estabelecem entre seres vivos, criando vínculos específicos e dinâmicos entre eles quando há reciprocidade em suas relações. Recorremos também às hipóteses formuladas por Weaver em 1948 sobre a natureza de problemas característicos do domínio da complexidade. O presente trabalho está organizado em três capítulos. No primeiro, investigamos aspectos da Teoria dos Sistemas Complexos que nos auxiliam a analisar o conceito de Informação, com ênfase na noção de Padrões Informacionais. No capítulo 2, investigamos a Virada Naturalista na filosofia e a importância da experiência para a filosofia, que passou a ganhar espaço com essa Virada, proporcionada pela revolução iniciada por Darwin na biologia. As noções de Padrões Informacionais e de Duplo-Vínculo são apresentadas no capítulo 2, que tem como ponto fundamental o estudo da relação comunicativa entre seres vivos. No capítulo 3, analisamos hipóteses de teorias que explicitam relações de amizade, presenciais e virtuais, entre pessoas, focalizando o estudo de relações colaborativas propiciadas pelo estabelecimento de padrões informacionais. / This dissertation, entitled “Information, action and collaborative relationships: a philosophical perspective of complexity” aims to conduct a study of hypotheses of the complexity paradigm involving communication between humans. The central problem that directs this reflection can be so stated: What is the role of informational patterns in the collaborative action of human beings, conceived as complex systems? This problem will be initially analyzed from the hypothesis elaborated by Bateson, according to which dependency relationships are established between living beings, creating specific and dynamic links between them when there is reciprocity in their relationships. We also investigate the assumptions made by Weaver in 1948 about the nature of problems dealing with complexity. This dissertation is organized into three chapters. In the first one, we investigated aspects of the Theory of Complex Systems that help us to analyze the concept of Information, emphasizing the notion of Informational Patterns. In chapter 2, we investigate the Naturalistic Turn in philosophy and the importance of experience to philosophy, which went on to gain space with this Turn, provided by the revolution initiated by Darwin in biology. The notions of Informational Patterns and Double-Bind are presented in the chapter 2 that presents the result of a study of the communicative relationship between living beings. In chapter 3, we analyze assumptions of theories that explain relations of friendship and virtual friendship between people, focusing on the study of collaborative relationships offered by the establishment of informational patterns.

Is it possible to cover an issue as a journalist to the extent that you are practically a human rights activist, and still contribute to its continuation by unconsciously upholding the values causing the issue? This study asks the question if journalists help or hinder the elimination of female genital mutilation (FGM), and puts forth the thesis that journalists as a collective in fact are affecting the development more negatively through their attitudes than positively through their actions. The study consists of a theoretical analysis connecting to patriarchy and post-colonialism, and a field study from Tanzania where journalists are interviewed. The theoretical results show a clear connection between patriarchal values and FGM, and that if a journalist upholds these values she will not be as inclined to see the victim of FGM as a subaltern, she will be more likely to generalize the groups status and characteristics and she will be caught in between traditional and modern values. If a journalist ascribes to more traditional values when it comes to the difference between the genders, her attitudes will to some extent be counterproductive to the work she does when she covers FGM with the intention to prevent it. The field study supports this by showing that awareness about gender inequality and FGM does not necessarily mean awareness of patriarchal structures and how they affect men, women and traditions. One journalist can make a significant difference, but if she is a part of a journalist collective with strong, patriarchal values her efforts might not be sufficient to help in changing the overall development of FGM.

Above all, how to modify the electronic properties of nanostructures already well known in a controlled manner. With this goal, many methodologies and experiments has been developed. We studied the an entirely through computer simulation atomistic interaction of amino glycine with the surface of graphene using two methods, classical and quantum, for both modules use Materials Studio (Accelrys), and the Forcit Dmol3 states that are Art in atomistic simulations. From the classical point of view, we used force fields universal to describe the interactions, and the quantum point of view, the method of density functional. The methodology consisted basically realize a scan with glycine in different orientations on the surface of the graphene sheet grid in a considerable build a 3D map of potential interaction that enables us to accurately define where are enough sites and orientations of the amino acid glycine to more energetically favorable for adsorption. From the selection of the best candidates obtained from calculations in classical mechanics, we performed electronic structure calculations using the method DFT (Density Functional Theory) to estimate the binding energy and in that regime adsorption occurs. In addition, we obtained the electron density of the system and did Mulliken population analysis as well. / Com a finalidade do desenvolvimentos de novos nanodispositivos, há um grande interesse em conhecer as propriedades eletrônicas de materias nanoestruturados. Sobretudo, como modificar as propriedades eletrônicas de nanoestruturas já bem conhecidas de forma controlada. Com este objetivo, muitas metodologias e experimentos tem sido desenvolvidos. Estudou-se de forma inteiramente atomística através de simulação computacional a interação do aminoácido glicina com a superfície do grafeno utilizando dois métodos , clássico e quântico, para tanto utilizamos os módulos do Materials Studio (Accelrys), o Forcite e o Dmol3 que são estados de arte em simulações atomísticas. Do ponto de vista clássico, utilizou-se campos de força universal para descrever as interações; e do ponto de vista quântico, utilizamos o método do funcional da densidade. A metodologia consistiu basicamente em realizarmos um "scan"com a glicina em diversas orientações sobre a superfície da folha de grafeno num grid considerável, construímos uma mapa 3D do potencial de interação que nos possibilita conhecer com precisão suficiente onde são os sítios e as orientações do aminoácido glicina que mais favoráveis energeticamente para a adsorção. A partir da seleção dos melhores candidatos obtidos através dos cálculos de mecânica clássica, realizamos cálculos de estrutura eletrônica utilizando o método DFT (Density Functional Theory) a fim de estimar a energia de ligação e em que regime ocorre a adsorção. Além disso, nós obtivemos a densidade eletrônica do sistema e fizemos uma análise populacional de Mulliken também.

Dans cette thèse, nous traitons de l’apport des théories du courant de pensée de Palo Alto pour aborder la transformation des situations de doubles contraintes au sein des organisations de travail, afin de faciliter le développement de l’apprentissage organisationnel. Après une présentation des concepts d’apprentissage organisationnel et de double contrainte, notre démarche de recherche prend place dans une épistémologie interprétativiste procédant par recherche-action. Nous nous appuyons sur trois études de cas d’accompagnement, individuel et collectif, de responsables confrontés à des difficultés de management. Nous mettons en évidence de quelle manière la théorie de la double contrainte constitue une grille d’intelligibilité des conduites d’évitement. Les envisageant comme seules possibilités de se comporter dans une situation où toutes les autres possibilités d’agir sont bloquées, nous expliquons l’intérêt d’un changement de paradigme de compréhension de leur formation pour renouveler les perspectives d’intervention. L’acceptation des conduites d’évitement comme émergeant d’une situation de double contrainte permet de les aborder en tant que dysfonctionnement organisationnel plutôt que comme la conséquence d’une carence individuelle. Les perceptions de doubles contraintes apparaissent lorsqu’une impossibilité de métacommuniquer est ressentie, au sujet d’un paradoxe exigeant un choix impossible, dans un contexte professionnel dont il n’est pas envisageable de s’échapper.Notre principal apport est de montrer, au travers d’une revue de littérature et des trois études de cas, les forces et les limites de l’approche interactionnelle issue du courant de Palo Alto, qui, même si elle est connue dans le monde de la gestion, reste largement inappliquée dans les organisations. Nous positionnons le processus de métacommunication par un tiers intervenant en le mettant au service de changements. Nous précisons le rôle qu’il peut avoir pour aider à passer d’un cercle vicieux à un cercle vertueux, dans une situation managériale, et l’effet de levier qu’il joue dans la transformation d’une dynamique d’apprentissage organisationnel défensif en une dynamique menant au progrès. / In this thesis, we discuss the contribution of current theories of thought in Palo Alto to tackle the transformation of situations of double bind within working organizations in order to improve the organizational learning development. After a presentation of the concepts of organizational learning and double bind our research process takes place in an interpretivist epistemology conducting by action research. We rely on three case studies accompanying individual and group leaders facing with difficulties in management.We underline how the theory of the double bind is a grid of intelligibility avoidance behavior. Considering them only as possibilities to behave in a situation where all other possibilities to act are blocked, we explain the interest of a paradigm shift in understanding of their training opportunities in order to renew intervention prospect.Acceptance of avoidance behavior as emerging from a double bind situation can address them as organizational dysfunction rather than as a consequence of individual failure. Perceptions of double bind appear when unable metacommunication is felt, about a paradox requiring an impossible choice, in a professional context inconceivable to escape from.Our main contribution is to show, through a literature review and three case studies, the strengths and limitations of the interactional approach of Palo Alto, which, although it is known in the world management remains largely unimplemented in organizations. We position the metacommunication process by a third party involved in the service changes. We point out the role he may have to help them move from a vicious to a virtuous circle, in a managerial situation, and leverage in the transformation of a dynamic organizational learning defensive into a dynamic leading to progress.
