The Journal of Popular Culture, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 175-188, June 2024.Abstract Hulu's Prey (2022), the fifth installment of the Predator franchise, is set in 1719 and features a Comanche female protagonist. The setting is unlike the 1987 Predator and its sequels, with their hardbody machismo and conservative politics. We argue that Prey is a small but significant step in Hollywood, but its inclusivity comes at a price ...

Extreme Stellar Populations in the Universe: Backsplash Dwarf Galaxies and Wandering Stars
, 2013 We demonstrate that stars beyond the virial radii of galaxies may be generated by the gravitational impulse received by a satellite as it passes through the pericenter of its orbit around its parent.

The biophysical and compositional properties of human basement membranes
The FEBS Journal, Volume 291, Issue 3, Page 477-488, February 2024.Basement membranes are exceptionally adaptable materials with both extremely stiff and highly elastic properties. This article highlights these features on a selection of human membranes and links them to compositional, biomechanical, and structural profiles down to a molecular level. The role of water in modulating these attributes is also scrutinized

Bayesian framework to constrain the photon mass with a catalog of fast radio bursts [PDF]
, 2017 A hypothetical photon mass, m(gamma), gives an energy-dependent light speed in a Lorentz-invariant theory. Such a modification causes an additional time delay between photons of different energies when they travel through a fixed distance.

Time Travel and Intergalactic Travel [PDF]
An existential threat to humanity is that we might never be able to travel intergalactically and will eventually go extinct from some inevitable disaster in our own galaxy.

Relating the Interpolated Motion of Robots to Quantum Gravity and Intergalactic Travel
, 2019 Interpolation is making the end of a robot arm move smoothly from one pose (position and orientation) to another ie programming it to move smoothly from A to B through a series of intermediate points. Linear interpolation does the job very nicely, but has the drawback that the motion is not totally smooth because of the accelerations. Point A initially

Radio – wstrząśnięte, nie zmieszane? Komiks radiowy w obliczu koncepcji „Media Martini”
, 2018 Radio programmes that prevail in the contemporaty „mediasphere” are prone to hybridization. They easily cross artificial generic divisions and get the status of multidimensional entities that activate many senses of media users.

Neutrino oscillations and decoherence in short-GRB progenitors [PDF]
, 2021 Neutrinos are produced in cosmic accelerators, like active galactic nuclei (AGNs), blazars, supernova (SN) remnants and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). On their way to the Earth they experience flavor-oscillations.
