Rapid Application Development

RAD
An approach that relies on small teams using joint application development and iterative-prototyping techniques to construct interactive systems within several months.

RAD
Rapid Application Development in the context of development applications software. The term is used in the context of object oriented (oo), component-based and vissually-aided software that allows for faster development of applications software. For example, Netscape Corporation in 1997 introduced a component-based Visual Java-Script intended to be for the web what Microsoft's Visual Basic software was for earlier applications development. Visual Java Scrip also licensed TV-Objects from TV-Objects Corporation in Princeton, N.J. for translating Visual Basic applications into JavaScript for RAD. In 1997 Apple Corporation bet the farm on Rhapsody for RAD.

Rad
The special unit for radiation absorbed dose, which is the amount of energy from any type of ionizing radiation (e.g., alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons, etc.) deposited in any medium (e.g., water, tissue, air). A dose of one rad means the absorption of 100 ergs (a small but measurable amount of energy) per gram of absorbing tissue (100 rad = 1 gray).

RAD
A unit of measure of absorbed radiation. Acronym for radiation absorbed dose. One rad equals 100 ergs of radiation energy per gram of absorbing material.

radian

rad
Acronym for radiation absorbed dose. The basic unit of measure for expressing absorbed radiant energy per unit mass of material. Note 1: A rad corresponds to an absorption of 0.01 J/kg, i.e. , 100 ergs/g. Note 2: The absorbed radiant energy heats, ionizes, and/or destroys the material upon which it is incident.

rad.
Abbreviation for radian(s).

radian (rad.)
A unit of plane angle measure equal to the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle. Note: One radian is equal to 360°/2, which is approximately 57° 17' 44.6".

Rad
A unit of energy. A rad is like a roentgen ® but is based on absorbed energy from an ionizing or nonionizing source.

Rad (radiation absorbed dose)
a basic unit of absorbed radiation dose. It is a measure of the amount of energy absorbed by the body. The rad is the traditional unit of absorbed dose. It is being replaced by the unit gray (Gy), which is equivalent to 100 rad. One rad equals the dose delivered to an object of 100 ergs of energy per gram of material. For more information, see “Primer on Radiation Measurement” at the end of this document.
  

Rad
An old unit of radiation dose now superseded by the Gray. 1 Gray = 100 rads.

RAD
Radiation Adsorbed Dose (unit of measurement of radiation absorbed by humans)

Rad
An overused term which can mean many things,
but is originally derived from the word radical, which
simply put, means the extreme.

In early interviews with the first pro skaters,
radical was a big word, and it has come to mean just
about anything (usually) good.

Synonymous with cool.
