Elements of Semiology by Roland Barthes

In his Course in General Linguistics, first published in 1916, Saussure postulated the existence of a general science of signs, or Semiology, of which linguistics would form only one part. Semiology therefore aims to take in any system of signs, whatever their substance and limits; images, gestures, musical sounds, objects, and the complex associations of all these, which form the content of ri...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Taylor’s law (TL) typically describes a linear relationship between the logarithm of the variance and the logarithm of the mean of population densities. It has been verified for many non-human species in ecology, and recently, for Norway’s human population. In this article, we test TL for human mortality. METHOD We use death counts and exposures by single age (0 to 100)...

Within the framework of equilibrium statistical mechanics the free energy of a phase gives a measure of its associated probabilistic weight. In order to determine phase boundaries one must then determine the conditions under which the free energy difference (FED) between two phases is zero. The underlying complexity usually rules out any analytical approaches to the problem, and one must theref...
