'Can I tell you a story?': The Impact of Dorothy Fontana on 20th Century Science Fiction
While Gene Roddenberry gets the bulk of the attention as the creator of Star Trek, during the first two seasons it was Gene L. Coon and Dorothy Fontana who beat life daily into the heart of the show. In the medical drama, Ben Casey, she consigned the show's hero to a hospital bed and the story instead focused on the secondary characters. Black highlighted her flexibility in moving the action of the episode to the ship from a more expensive planet setting, writing to Roddenberry: 'A damned cooperative writer, that D.C. Fontana.'Yet, despite these commendations, when the episode was transmitted, it was credited to Roddenberry not Fontana, because he had written the original treatment. When the aliens who gave Charlie his powers return, the boy's anguish at the thought of living with these very non-human beings is shared by the audience.

Televangelism and Religion in Star Trek V and Licence to Kill
In June 1989, both Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and the James Bond film Licence to Kill were released in theatres within days of each other. This study analyzes how story elements in both films were directly inspired by recent televangelist scandals in the United States. The Star Trek film was also intended to have a deeper examination of the nature of God and the Devil. Nonetheless, both films were also intended to appeal to a mass audience. To that end, these films' explorations of religious issues were watered down to avoid offending Christian denominations or churches (though not necessarily those of other religions, such as the Otomi in Mexico). Ironically, the films' neutered portrayals of religion may have made them less compelling than otherwise may have been the case.

ELPKG: A High-Accuracy Link Prediction Approach for Knowledge Graph Completion
Link prediction in knowledge graph is the task of utilizing the existing relations to infer new relations so as to build a more complete knowledge graph. The inferred new relations plus original knowledge graph is the symmetry of completion knowledge graph. Previous research on link predication only focuses on path or semantic-based features, which can hardly have a full insight of features between entities and may result in a certain ratio of false inference results. To improve the accuracy of link predication, we propose a novel approach named Entity Link Prediction for Knowledge Graph (ELPKG), which can achieve a high accuracy on large-scale knowledge graphs while keeping desirable efficiency. ELPKG first combines path and semantic-based features together to represent the relationships between entities. Then it adopts a probabilistic soft logic-based reasoning method that effectively solves the problem of non-deterministic knowledge reasoning. Finally, the relation between entities is completed based on the entity link prediction algorithm. Extensive experiments on real dataset show that ELPKG outperforms baseline methods on hits@1, hits@10, and MRR.

Spock und seine Zeit
The article examines the character of Spock from the Science Fiction franchise Star Trek with regard to his musical performances and musical creations. Spock’s characterization as a musician would not have been possible without the musical ambitions of his actor Leonard Nimoy. Including Leonard Nimoy’s musical output (also his musical performance as Spock on music albums outside the traditional Star Trek canon) and considering the economic, copyright, personal and content interdependencies between the original television series and Nimoy’s musical and vocal performance, new conclusions can be drawn in regard to the musicalization of the early Star Trek franchise.
