Fede Alvarez co-writes and directs this standalone sci-fi horror
thriller set between the events of 'Alien' (1979) and 'Aliens' (1986).
Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny) endures a difficult existence at the
Jackson's Star mining colony. When Weyland-Yutani forcibly extend her
contract, ending any hope she has of leaving, her ex-boyfriend Tyler
(Archie Renaux) persuades her to join his expedition to scavenge
supplies from a derelict space station orbiting the planet which they
can use to escape the colony.
Tyler needs the help of Rain's adoptive brother Andy (David Jonsson), a
reprogrammed synthetic human, to access the space station's systems,
and Rain reluctantly agrees. However, once they enter the space
station, they encounter a terrifying life form and must fight for their
lives. The cast also includes Aileen Wu, Spike Fearn and Isabela Merced.

Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a generic term for all
methods that help people making decisions according to their
preferences, in situations where there is more than one conflicting
criterion. It is a branch of operational research dealing with
finding optimal results in complex scenarios including various
indicators, conflicting objectives and criteria. The approach of
MCDM involves decision making concerning quantitative and
qualitative factors. The importance and success of MCDM are due to
the fact that they have successfully dealt with different types of
problematics for supporting decision makers such as choice, ranking
and sorting, description. Even though, each of the different
problematics in MCDM is important, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making
Sorting Methods will focus on sorting approaches across a wide
range of interesting techniques and research disciplines. The
applications which have been and can be solved by these techniques
are more and more important in current real-world decision-making
problems. Therefore, the book provides a clear overview of MCDM
sorting methods and the different tools which can be used to solve
real-world problems by revising such tools and characterizing them
according to their performance and suitability for different types
of problems. The book is aimed at a broad audience including
computer scientists, engineers, geography and GIS experts, business
and financial management experts, environment experts, and all
those professional people interested in MCDM and its applications.
The book may also be useful for teaching MCDM courses in fields
such as industrial management, computer science, and applied
mathematics, as new developments in multi-criteria decision making.
Cell Physiology Source Book, Fifth Edition covers a broad range of
topics in cell physiology. The book discusses research areas that
have become active since the last edition (e.g., aquaporins,
apicoplast and other organelles) and broadens its scope to include
chronobiology, expansion of receptor/sensory physiology,
endocrinology, and other topics such as quorum sensing and taxis.
As methods or approaches on performing experiments appear to be
very valuable parts of books to which readers tend to frequently
refer, expansion of these types of chapters and/or appendices are
included in this edition. Applicable to scientists, researchers,
postdocs and graduate students across physiological, biochemical,
biological and biomedical backgrounds, cell physiology is important
for understanding larger organisms and potential advances in
biomedicine.
Laws mandating cooperation with the state's new sexual orthodoxy
are among the leading contemporary threats to the religious freedom
of Catholic institutions in the United States. These demand that
Catholic schools, health-care providers, or social services
cooperate with contraception, cohabitation, abortion, same-sex
marriage, or transgender identity and surgeries. But Catholic
institutions' responses seem thin and uninspiring to many. They are
criticized as legalistic, authoritarian, bureaucratic, retrograde
and hurtful to women and to persons who identify as LGBTQ. They are
even called "un-Christian." They invite disrespect both for
Catholic sexual responsibility norms and for religious freedom
generally, not only among lawmakers and judges, but also in the
court of public opinion, which includes skeptical Catholics. The
U.S. Constitution protects Catholic institutions' "autonomy" -
their authority over faith and doctrine, internal operations, and
the personnel involved in personifying and transmitting the faith.
Other constitutional and statutory provisions also safeguard
religious freedom, if not always perfectly. Catholic institutions
could take far better advantage of all of these existing
protections if they communicated, first, how they differ from
secular institutions: how their missions emerge from their faith in
Jesus Christ, and their efforts both to make his presence felt in
the world today, and to display the inbreaking of the Kingdom of
God. Second, they need to draw out the link between their teachings
on sexual responsibility and love of God and neighbor. Drawing upon
Scripture, tradition, history, theology and empirical evidence,
Helen Alvare frames a more complete, inspiring and appealing
response to current laws' attempts to impose a new sexual orthodoxy
upon Catholic institutions. It clarifies the "ecclesial" nature of
Catholic schools, hospitals and social services. It summarizes the
empirical evidence supporting the link between personnel decisions
and mission, and between Catholic sexual responsibility norms and
human flourishing. It grounds Catholic sexual responsibility
teachings in the same love of God and neighbor that animate the
existence, operations, and services of Catholic institutions.
