The White Pilgrim; or, Castle of Olival: An Interesting and Affecting Tale, Founded on Singular Facts. Translated From That Highly-Popular French Novel, Le Pelerin Blanc

While Count Horatio Castelli is away from home, he receives a letter informing him that his wife, Amabel, has gone missing. Castelli and his friend, Count Vassali, return to Castelli’s hamlet, Olival, only to find out from Aambel’s servant, Theresa, that Amabel had been in a secret correspondence and that she seems to have left voluntarily. Castelli and his three children go to live on Vassali’s villa for two years before returning to Olival. Shortly after returning to Olival, Castelli receives a letter to meet Vassali in London and goes. Vassali brings Castelli to see Theresa, the old servant of Amabel who reveals that Roland, Castelli’s bastard brother and Captain of the Guard during the time of Amabel’s disappearance, was in love with Amabel and when she did not return that love, Roland, with the help of Otho, used a poison to put her to sleep and kidnap her. Shortly after, Castelli dies in a ship wreck and Roland produces a fake will that names him guardian of the Castelli children but plans to kill them, fight his bastard status and inherit Olival. Vassali finds the Countess being held captive and surrounds the castle with soldiers led by the same White Pilgrim who pretended to be deaf when he asked Roland to take him in but actually heard Roland confess to everything. Horatio returns, having not died in a shipwreck, and retakes Olival. Amabel recovers quickly and she and Horatio have a baby girl.https://epublications.marquette.edu/english_gothic/1002/thumbnail.jp

A conjecture about numerators of Bernoulli numbers related to Integer Sequence A092291

In this paper we disprove a conjecture about numerators of divided Bernoulli numbers $B_n/n$ and $B_n/n(n-1)$ which was suggested by Roland Bacher. We give some counterexamples. Finally, we extend the results to the general case.Comment: 11 page

An equation for the description of volume and temperature dependences of the dynamics of supercooled liquids and polymer melts

A recently proposed expression to describe the temperature and volume dependences of the structural (or alpha) relaxation time is discussed. This equation satisfies the scaling law for the relaxation times, tau = f(TV^g), where T is temperature, V the specific volume, and g a material-dependent constant. The expression for the function f is shown to accurately fit experimental data for several glass-forming liquids and polymers over an extended range encompassing the dynamic crossover, providing a description of the dynamics with a minimal number of parameters. The results herein can be reconciled with previously found correlations of the isochoric fragility with both the isobaric fragility at atmospheric pressure and the scaling exponent g.Comment: to be published in the special edition of J.

CITRA PEREMPUAN DALAM IKLAN ( Analisis Semiotika Roland Barthes Iklan Shopee11.11 Big Sale )

This research aims to explore the image of women in Shopee 11.11 Big Sale advertisements based on Roland Barthes' Semiotics theory. The ads often feature female store figures as models, as they have their own attractiveness in the ad display, resulting in diverse images of women and potentially leading to the exploitation of women as sexual objects based on stereotypes or judgments solely based on perceptions of where that group of people can be categorized. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach with analysis using Roland Barthes' semiotics theory by examining the codes, signs, or meanings within the Shopee 11.11 Big Sale advertisements. The findings of this research, based on the analysis conducted, reveal that the image of women in Shopee Big Sale ads portrays women as needing to appear captivating, slim, with straight and long hair, wearing fashionable and trendy clothing, always smiling (friendly), and consistently displaying confidence. This portrayal aims to shape a more proportional view of women in the future
