It is an environmental contaminant that has been detected in the air, groundwater, surface waters, and soil. In June 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its draft Toxicological Review of Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene) (CAS No. 127-18-4) in Support of Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). The draft IRIS assessment provides quantitative estimates of cancer and noncancer effects of exposure to tetrachloreothylene, which will be used to establish airquality and water-quality standards to protect public health and to set cleanup standards for hazardous waste sites. At the request of EPA, the National Research Council conducted an independent scientific review of the draft IRIS assessment of tetrachloroethylene from toxicologic, epidemiologic, and human clinical perspectives. The resulting book evaluates the adequacy of the EPA assessment, the data and methods used for deriving the noncancer values for inhalation and oral exposures and the oral and inhalation cancer unit risks posed by tetrachloroethylene; evaluates whether the key studies underlying the draft IRIS assessment are of requisite quality, reliability, and relevance to support the derivation of the reference values and cancer risks; evaluates whether the uncertainties in EPA's risk assessment were adequately described and, where possible, quantified; and identifies research that could reduce the uncertainty in the current understanding of human health effects associated with tetrachloroethylene exposure. ![]() Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: The Natural Approach by CD Radiant English | August 10, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0FLZGYRB1 | 189 pages | EPUB | 4.80 Mb Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally: The Complete Diabetes Diet Plan for Lowering Blood Sugar and Improving Insulin Sensitivity ![]() Reverse Engineering Game Engines & Graphics Pipelines: A Comprehensive Guide to Unreal, Unity, Vulkan, DirectX, and GPU Rendering Internals for Modding, Optimization, and Vulnerability Discovery by Takehiro Kanegi, Hayden Van Der Post, Vincent Bisette English | January 8, 2026 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0GFPSYT47 | 501 pages | EPUB | 0.71 Mb Reactive Publishing ![]() Revenge of the Liar: New Essays on the Paradox By JC Beall 2008 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 019923390X | PDF | 2 MB The Liar paradox raises foundational questions about logic, language, and truth (and semantic notions in general). A simple Liar sentence like 'This sentence is false' appears to be both true and false if it is either true or false. For if the sentence is true, then what it says is the case; but what it says is that it is false, hence it must be false. On the other hand, if the statement is false, then it is true, since it says (only) that it is false. How, then, should we classify Liar sentences? Are they true or false? A natural suggestion would be that Liars are neither true nor false; that is, they fall into a category beyond truth and falsity. This solution might resolve the initial problem, but it beckons the Liar's revenge. A sentence that says of itself only that it is false or beyond truth and falsity will, in effect, bring back the initial problem. The Liar's revenge is a witness to the hydra-like nature of Liars: in dealing with one Liar you often bring about another. JC Beall presents fourteen new essays and an extensive introduction, which examine the nature of the Liar paradox and its resistance to any attempt to solve it. Written by some of the world's leading experts in the field, the papers in this volume will be an important resource for those working in truth studies, philosophical logic, and philosophy of language, as well as those with an interest in formal semantics and metaphysics. ![]() Rett Syndrome - A Bibliography and Dictionary for Physicians, Patients, and Genome Researchers By Philip M. Parker 2007 | 196 Pages | ISBN: 0497112876 | PDF | 2 MB In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Rett syndrome is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. ![]() Dimitar Gueorguiev, "Retrofitting Leninism: Participation without Democracy in China" English | ISBN: 0197555667 | 2021 | 254 pages | MOBI | 2 MB Retrofitting Leninism explains, through the lens of China, how open governance and modern information technology come together to sustain a tightly controlled but socially responsive system of authoritarianism. ![]() Retrieval-Augmented Generation by Ajit Singh English | June 23, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DZHGG743 | 288 pages | EPUB | 0.27 Mb This book, "Retrieval-Augmented Generation," is conceived as a definitive guide for the next generation of engineers, data scientists, and AI practitioners. It is born from the recognition that the future of applied AI is not just about bigger models, but smarter systems. RAG represents this "smarter" approach, synergizing the generative power of LLMs with the factual accuracy of classical information retrieval. ![]() Retirement Bites: A Gen X Guide to Securing Your Financial Future by Kerry Hannon, Janna Herron English | September 30, 2025 | ISBN: 154170584X | 288 pages | PDF | 6.09 Mb From two personal finance experts, a road mapto plan for your retirement, tailored to the specific financial circumstances of Gen X |
