Risk Assessment with Time to Event Models (Environmental and Ecological Risk Assessment) By Mark Crane, Michael C. 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.

Rise of the Machines: AI: Doom or Dawn?
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.

Righteous Riches: The Word of Faith Movement in Contemporary African American Religion By Milmon F. Harrison
2005 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 019515388X | PDF | 1 MB
Does God want us to be wealthy? Many people believe that God offers not only eternal joy in the hereafter but also material blessings in the here and now. Other Christians see this "prosperity theology," as nothing more than vulgar materialism, incompatible with orthodox Christianity. In Righteous Riches, Milmon F. Harrison examines the Word of Faith movement, an independent, non-denominational Christian movement that preaches the so-called "health and wealth gospel." The Word of Faith movement is an international network loosely bound by a basic doctrine called the "Faith Message," which teaches that it is God's will for Christians to be prosperous, successful, and healthy in the present life. Drawing on his personal experiences as a former insider and in-depth interviews with members, Harrison takes us inside the movement, revealing what it is like to belong, and how people accept, reject, and reshape Word of Faith doctrines to fit their own lives. Although the movement is not exclusively African American, many of its most prominent and recognized leaders are African American ministers with large congregations and national television audiences. Analyzing the movement's appeal to African Americans, Harrison argues that, because of their history of oppression and discrimination, African American religious institutions have always had to address the material--as well as spiritual--concerns of their members. The Word of Faith Movement, he says, is one of several prosperity movements that resonate strongly with African Americans. Situating the movement in the contexts of both contemporary American religion and the history of the Black Church, Righteous Riches offers a fascinating look at a quintessentially American phenomenon.

Righteous Anger at the Wicked States: The Meaning of the Founders' Constitution By Calvin H. Johnson
2005 | 308 Pages | ISBN: 0521852323 | PDF | 3 MB
This book is a history that explains the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in terms of what the proponents of the Constitution were trying to accomplish. The Constitution was a revolutionary document replacing the confederation mode with a complete three-part national government supreme over the states. The most pressing need was to allow the federal government to tax to pay off the Revolutionary War debts. In the next war, the United States would need to borrow again. The taxes needed to restore the public credit proved to be quite modest, however, and the Constitution went far beyond the immediate fiscal needs. This book argues that the proponents' anger at the states for their recurring breaches of duty to the united cause explains both critical steps and the driving impetus for the revolution. Other issues were less important.

Right Result ?: Advocacy, Justice and Empowerment By Rick Henderson, Mike Pochin
2001 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 186134306X | PDF | 1 MB
What is true advocacy? How can advocacy be evaluated? Should there be practice standards in advocacy? As advocacy moves into the mainstream of health and social care provision, and the prospect of a legal right to advocacy inches closer, so the need to scrutinise key values and practices in advocacy becomes urgent. Although advocacy is widely acclaimed as a "good thing", there is little agreement as to how it should be implemented, funded or evaluated. "A right result?": reviews the range of third party advocacy provision and practice in the UK; addresses key issues facing the contemporary advocacy movement, such as the need for independence, developing quality standards and security of funding; suggests viable ways forward; and moves beyond the partisan tendency to champion one kind of advocacy to offer an inclusive account of different styles. Through this inclusive approach, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the benefits of advocacy. "A right result?" is aimed at anyone with an interest in advocacy and the rights of disempowered people, particularly individuals and agencies with a stake in the promotion and development of advocacy services and schemes in the UK.

Riding Toward Everywhere By William T. Vollmann
2008 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0061256757 | PDF | 7 MB
Arelentlessly curious, endlessly sensitive, and unequivocally adventurous examiner of human existence, William T. Vollmann now takes to the rails. In the company of experienced fellow train-hopper Steve, Vollmann trawls the secretive waters of a unique underground lifestyle-subjecting both our national romance with and skepticism about the hobo life to his finely tuned, analytical eye. Carrying on in the footloose tradition of Huckleberry Finn, he offers a moving, strikingly modern vision of the American dream, brilliantly exploring both our deeply ingrained romanticizing of "freedom" and the myriad ways we restrict the very freedoms we profess to admire.
