Newman, Peter F. Chapman, John S. Fenlon 2001 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 1566705827 | PDF | 2 MB How can environmental regulators use information on 48-hour toxicity tests to predict the effects of a few minutes of pollution? Or, at the other extreme, what is the relevance of 96-hour toxicity data for organisms that may have been exposed to a pollutant for six months or more? Time to event methods are the key to answering these types of questions. Risk Assessment with Time to Event Models is the first comprehensive treatment of these methods in the context of ecological risk assessment. Leading experts from industry, academia, and government regulatory agencies explain how these methods can be used to extract more useful information from laboratory data than is present in simple summary statistics like 48-h LC50. The book offers a clear introduction to the field through several approaches, from the introductory to the more mathematical. Risk Assessment with Time to Event Models demonstrates the relevance of time in the analysis and reporting of toxicity data through the use of practical examples from the field of environmental toxicology. It also incorporates helpful analogies from other disciplines that commonly use time to event modeling.

English | 12 Jan. 2026 | ASIN: B0GGBVPZ3B | 60 pages | EPUB (True) | 285.58 KB The AI revolution has started, and the most unsafe place to be in any revolution is where we are-at the beginning. Rise of the machines-a new battle for middle earth has begun. Inboxes and social media full of AI-generated slop. Cognitive warfare creating misinformation. The line between real and fake blurred, eroding trust. AI has no responsibility. Do we want it to be unlike us? Without biases, ulterior motives, agendas, and discrimination. Do we want AI to believe it has a purpose? Losing the ability for critical thinking, diminished reasoning skills, struggling creativity and decision-making abilities against potential gains from AI. We could settle for that, but the risks are large and looming. Life revolves around conflict. It is the foundation of personal and communal growth. We wrestle with demons and fly with angels. Moments lost to love and time wasted on delusions. We all have questions, and if they are not full of conflict, then they are not the right ones to ask. The mad dash to AI singularity fuels our doom scenarios. Evolution has been hard-earned. Do we want to give it up so easily? AI, part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has its predecessors during the First Industrial Revolution. Communities, who had fears, uncertainties, and asked the same questions as we do. Where did it lead them, and why is their response key to determining our opportunity for a new dawn, where we reconsider work as purpose and knowledge as more important than wisdom? Let's find out.  Rise and Fall of the Cosmic Race: The Cult of Mestizaje in Latin America By Marilyn Grace Miller 2004 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0292705727 | PDF | 2 MB Latin America is characterized by a uniquely rich history of cultural and racial mixtures known collectively as mestizaje. These mixtures reflect the influences of indigenous peoples from Latin America, Europeans, and Africans, and spawn a fascinating and often volatile blend of cultural practices and products. Yet no scholarly study to date has provided an articulate context for fully appreciating and exploring the profound effects of distinct local invocations of syncretism and hybridity. "Rise and Fall of the Cosmic Race" fills this void by charting the history of Latin America's experience of mestizaje through the prisms of literature, the visual and performing arts, social commentary, and music. In accessible, jargon-free prose, Marilyn Grace Miller brings to life the varied perspectives of a vast region in a tour that stretches from Mexico and the Caribbean to Brazil, Ecuador and Argentina. She explores the repercussions of mestizo identity in the United States and reveals the key moments in the story of Latin America's cult of synthesis. "Rise and Fall of the Cosmic Race" examines the inextricable links between aesthetics and politics, and unravels the threads of colonialism woven throughout national narratives in which mestizos serve as primary protagonists. Illuminating the ways in which regional engagements with mestizaje represent contentious sites of nation building and racial politics, Miller uncovers a rich and multivalent self-portrait of Latin America's diverse populations. |
