Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood combines the best pieces from the award-winning zine Rad Dad and from the blog Daddy Dialectic, two kindred publications that have tried to explore parenting as political territory. Both of these projects have pushed the conversation around fathering beyond the safe, apolitical focus most books and websites stick to; they have not been complacent but have worked hard to create a diverse, multi-faceted space in which to grapple with the complexity of fathering. Today more than ever, fatherhood demands constant improvisation, risk, and struggle. With grace and honesty and strength, Rad Dad’s writers tackle all the issues that other parenting guides are afraid to touch: the brutalities, beauties, and politics of the birth experience, the challenges of parenting on an equal basis with mothers, the tests faced by transgendered and gay fathers, the emotions of sperm donation, and parental confrontations with war, violence, racism, and incarceration. Rad Dad is for every father out in the real world trying to parent in ways that are loving, meaningful, authentic, and ultimately revolutionary.

Rad Hourani NEUTRALITY by Arsenal Contemporary Art Pdf
Rad Hourani’s “Neutrality” exhibition depicts the realities of an egalitarian society as a journey from childhood to adulthood through his unrestricted works of art that welcome visitors into an environment that evokes a sense of openness and possibility. Rad observes the tangible constraints imposed by categorizations, which influence the trajectory of his neutralization theory. His critique of the discriminatory basis of nationalism, racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and authoritarianism places his conceptions within a framework based on neutrality as a tool for uniting all. Humanity, as seen by Rad, is an interconnected ecosystem of cultures’ creativity expressed through music, food, dance, and art. His inquiry has led him to conclude that if we continue to marginalize with labeled codes, we will further privilege those who govern us and divide to concur. The artist’s basis maintains that all individuals are multi-faceted and unique. His perspective validates humans as equal participants in the collective sphere, where all living species are in sync. Rad’s manifestations pose existential and operational questions. His vision challenges institutional formalism and aesthetics, paving the way for portraying a neutral archetypal psyche. His ongoing conceptualization concedes the power of visual consumption to initiate conversations and share knowledge that celebrates a non-conformist sense of belonging. Through this multidisciplinary exhibition of contemporary art, Rad Hourani renders proposals for aspects of living a peaceful life via the media of painting, sculpture, photography, sound, and video at Arsenal Contemporary Art. The individual artworks are presented in six installation segments (“welcome,” “the child room,” “society,” “alert,” “human,” and “the adult room”), which together form a monumental work of art that illuminates the underlying principles of our socioeconomic systems.
Rad-hard Semiconductor Memories by Cristiano Calligaro,Umberto Gatti Pdf
Rad-hard Semiconductor Memories is intended for researchers and professionals interested in understanding how to design and make a preliminary evaluation of rad-hard semiconductor memories, making leverage on standard CMOS manufacturing processes available from different silicon foundries and using different technology nodes.In the first part of the book, a preliminary overview of the effects of radiation in space, with a specific focus on memories, will be conducted to enable the reader to understand why specific design solutions are adopted to mitigate hard and soft errors. The second part will be devoted to RHBD (Radiation Hardening by Design) techniques for semiconductor components with a specific focus on memories. The approach will follow a top-down scheme starting from RHBD at architectural level (how to build a rad-hard floor-plan), at circuit level (how to mitigate radiation effects by handling transistors in the proper way) and at layout level (how to shape a layout to mitigate radiation effects).After the description of the mitigation techniques, the book enters in the core of the topic covering SRAMs (synchronous, asynchronous, single port and dual port) and PROMs (based on AntiFuse OTP technologies), describing how to design a rad-hard flash memory and fostering RHBD toward emerging memories like ReRAM. The last part will be a leap into emerging memories at a very early stage, not yet ready for industrial use in silicon but candidates to become an option for the next wave of rad-hard components. Technical topics discussed in the book include: Radiation effects on semiconductor components (TID, SEE) Radiation Hardening by Design (RHBD) Techniques Rad-hard SRAMs Rad-hard PROMs Rad-hard Flash NVMs Rad-hard ReRAMs Rad-hard emerging technologies
Rad Families: A Celebration honors the messy, the painful, the playful, the beautiful, the myriad ways we create families. This is not an anthology of experts, or how-to articles on perfect parenting; it often doesn’t even try to provide answers. Instead, the writers strive to be honest and vulnerable in sharing their stories and experiences, their failures and their regrets. Gathering parents and writers from diverse communities, it explores the process of getting pregnant from trans birth to adoption, grapples with issues of racism and police brutality, probes raising feminists and feminist parenting. It plumbs the depths of empty nesting and letting go. Some contributors are recognizable authors and activists but most are everyday parents working and loving and trying to build a better world one diaper change at a time. It’s a book that reminds us all that we are not alone, that community can help us get through the difficulties, can, in fact, make us better people. It’s a celebration, join us!

Journey into the immersive surface of Rad Hourani’s EYE exhibition, a captivating exploration that transcends the conventional boundaries of visual perception. From June 30th to July 5th, 2016, the L40 Gallery in Berlin transforms into a canvas for a photographic and textual installation to delve into the enigmatic vision conceived by the artist. In the EYE series, Rad Hourani explores the intricacies of human vision, unraveling the layers that often cloud our perception of the world. With a curiosity for the eye’s function—its processing of light and darkness, its interpretation of form, distance, and propinquity—Rad sought to capture his surroundings without the imposition of customary identifications. The artist seeks to liberate the act of seeing from the shackles of categorization, allowing the viewer to engage with the world without the immediate urge to label or define. As light touches the retina, a flow of tangible realities begins, etching itself into the tapestry of our minds. Yet, in the EYE series, Rad presents a departure from the familiar. He envisions a world stripped of clear imagery—a landscape where shapes and colors evade easy association with conditioned notions. Through his lens, the artist constructs a collage of architecturally framed moments from daily life across the globe. These images, deliberately decontextualized, are woven together with keywords linked to the visual process, creating a canvas of abstraction that challenges the viewer to confront unfiltered realities. This exhibition extends an invitation to witness the unadulterated act of perception—unencumbered by preconceived ideas or the need for immediate categorization. Rad’s work serves as a visual manifesto, encouraging us to appreciate the beauty of the formless, the unnamable, and the unbounded. In this space, the audience is prompted to encounter the world through an unfiltered lens, to engage in a dialogue with the raw, uncharted territories of visual experience. As the viewer navigates the gallery space, Rad Hourani’s EYE series serves as a guide into a realm where the act of seeing becomes a liberating experience. Embracing the challenge to perceive without labeling and allowing the imagery of this body of work to unfold before the holder’s eyes.
Accelerated Induction of Neoplasms in Mouse Kidneys X-irradiated (690 Rad) While Undergoing Compensatory Hyperplasia by V. J. Rosen,L. J. Cole Pdf
Groups of young adult mice were subjected to several different treatments: (a) 690 rad wholebody X-irradiation; (b) unilateral nephrectomy and no irradiation; (c) 690 rad irradiation followed by unilateral nephrectomy 1 hour later; (d) unilateral nephrectomy followed by 690 rad irradiation 3 hours later; and (e) unilateral nephrectomy, 690 rad 3 hours later. The mice were examined 1 year or 18 months later for kidney neoplasms. The group nephrectomized and irradiated 3 hours later showed a high incidence (10 out of 19) of kidney adenomas, as compared with none in the mice irradiated only, or nephrectomized only. In addition, a high incidence (11 out of 15) of tubular and Bowman's capsule proliferations was observed in the mice subjected to irradiation first and nephrectomy 1 hour later. Since the accelerated induction of kidney neoplasms observed, occurred under conditions which inhibit mitotic activity and compensatory hypertrophy in the mouse kidney, it is proposed that the development of these renal neoplasms is the consequence of a prolonged imbalance between the stimulus to hyperplasia on the one hand, and the capacity for hyperplasia in radiation-altered kidney cells on the other.
