No. of bitstreams: 1 André Luís Ribeiro Borges.pdf: 8429379 bytes, checksum: f1ad6f7a65cd0c16b7be767d39c27764 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-11-28 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This present research object the study of the Collector's Edition and its creative impact on the twenty--first century. The purpose is to observe the resizing of contemporary design by issues of affection and experience. In this context the present research aims to discuss questions such as the relationship between design and participatory practices of media convergence today. The design is largely responsible for the product process of signification and is positioned in a more collaborative manner, and with his public contact points and broader interaction spaces which motivates and promotes the creation of communities of interest in a global network sharing that create ample opportunities for experience and exchange of affection. To understand this process we analyze the Collector's Edition to establish the sign processes and generation experience that make these issues not a marketing product, but a hybrid object component of a cultural process of society and communication to an audience. To reflect on this use as theoretical contributions interconnected fields each other as the theory of affects of Baruch Spinoza, transmitted by Gilles Deleuze (2002), associated with semiotic approach of Charles Sanders Peirce the bias Lucia Santaella (2002) and Charles William Morris (1976). The communication and design studies to questions of thought and language of design through Pignatari (2008) and Villem Flusser (2007). The theory of media approach to media convergence and their hybridization processes especially by Henry Jenkins (2006) and Lucia Santaella (2002). Regarding the poetic analysis of Collector's Editions reflect the approach end of Christine Mello (2008) / A presente pesquisa tem como objeto de investigação o estudo das Edições de Colecionador e seus impactos criativos no século XXI. O propósito é observar o redimensionamento do design contemporâneo mediado pelas questões do afeto e da experiência. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo problematizar indagações como as relações entre o design e as práticas participativas da convergência midiática na atualidade. O design é um dos grandes responsáveis pelo processo de significação do produto pois se posiciona de uma maneira colaborativa, estabelecendo com seu público pontos de contato e espaços de interação mais amplos. O design amplia a noção do objeto ao deslocar o seu sentido para a experiência promovendo, desta maneira, relações sociais e trocas de afetos entre sujeitos em uma cultura participativa e compartilhada. Para entendermos este processo analisaremos as Edições de Colecionador visando estabelecer os processos sígnicos e de geração de experiência, que tornam estas edições não um produto mercadológico e sim um objeto híbrido componente de um processo cultural da sociedade e comunicacional para um público. Para refletir sobre isso utilizamos como aportes teóricos campos interligados entre si como a teoria dos afetos de Baruch Espinoza, transmitida por Gilles Deleuze (2002), associada a abordagem semiótica de Charles Sanders Peirce pelo viés de Lúcia Santaella (2002) e Charles Willian Morris (1976). Pela comunicação e design estudamos questões do pensamento e linguagem do design por meio de Décio Pignatari (2008) e Villém Flusser (2007). Pela teoria das mídias abordamos a convergência midiática e seus processos de hibridização especialmente por meio de Henry Jenkins (2006) e Lúcia Santaella (2002). Em relação à análise poética das Edições de Colecionador refletimos a abordagem das extremidades de Christine Mello (2008)

This thesis provides a general methodology for classifying and describing many combinatoric problems, systematising and finding theoretical expressions for quantities of interest, and investigating their feasible numerical evaluation. Unifying notation and definitions are provided. Our knowledge of random allocations is also extended. This is achieved by investigating new processes, generalising known processes, and by providing a formal structure and innovative techniques for analysing them. The random allocation models described in this thesis can be classified as occupancy urn models, in which we have a sequence of urns and throw balls into them, and investigate static, waiting-time and dynamic processes. Various structures are placed on the relationship(s) between cells, balls, and the selection of items being distributed, including varieties, batch arrivals, taboo sets and blocking sets. Static, waiting-time and dynamic processes are investigated. Both without-replacement and with-replacement sampling types are considered. Emphasis is placed on the distributions of waiting-times for one or more events to occur measured from the time a particular event occurs; this begins as an abstraction and generalisation of a model of departures of cars parked in lanes. One of several additional determinations is the platoon size distribution. Models are analysed using combinatorial analysis and Markov Chains. Global attributes are measured, including maximum waits, maximum room required, moments and the clustering of completions. Various conversion formulae have been devised to reduce calculation times by several orders of magnitude. New and extended applications include Queueing in Lanes, Cake Displays, Coupon Collector's Problem, Sock-Sorting, Matching Dependent Sets (including Genetic Code Attribute Matching and the game SET), the Zig-Zag Problem, Testing for Randomness (including the Cake Display Test, which is a without-replacement test similar to the standard Empty Cell test), Waiting for Luggage at an Airport, Breakdowns in a Network, Learning Theory and Estimating the Number of Skeletons at an Archaeological Dig. Fundamental, reduction and covering theorems provide ways to reduce the number of calculations required. New combinatorial identities are discovered and a well-known one is proved in a combinatorial way for the first time. Some known results are derived from simple cases of the general models. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1309598 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Mathematical Sciences, 2007
