“…This issue, how the fall of the Republic and the rise of declamation influenced technical communication, needs more attention, as does the development and influence of technical communication in Greece and Rome in general. Jeff Todd's "A Longinian Concept and Methodology for Technical Communication" (1998) [43] argues that the Longinian idea of transporting readers by aligning the writer's and reader's perspectives is a useful tool for analyzing technical prose.…”

“…Other essays argue for the application of classical rhetorical theory to modern practice. For example, Jay Gordon, in "Techne and Technical Communication" (2002) [39], discusses Plato's and Aristotle's notions of the relationship between techne and rhetoric and argues for its utility to contemporary practice; and Charles P. Campbell, in "Ethos" (1995) [40] [43] argues that the Longinian idea of transporting readers by aligning the writer's and reader's perspectives is a useful tool for analyzing technical prose.…”

“…91-101]. Finally, this emphasis on writing presumes effective style: writing with clarity and conciseness rates as the second most important program core concept [7, p. 170], and samples of technical genres demonstrate effective paragraph-and sentencelevel style, including clarity, correctness, and amplification [26].…”

“…One need not be a lawyer to examine legal documents. Consider that Durack explained how to research the U.S. Patent Record [2], Palmeri discussed the collaborative experiences of non-lawyer writers in a medical malpractice firm [6], and numerous articles explicate regulatory documents [3][4][5]26]. These form some foundation to study documents from legal practice like briefs and judicial opinions and to collaborate with legal scholars.…”

In 1992, the American Bar Association released the MacCrate Report, which listed the ten skills and four professional values that all attorneys need and critiqued law schools and state bars for not doing enough to teach and encourage the development of these skills and values. In response, law schools have significantly increased the skills-based components in their curricula, and most state bar exams now include a performance test. Technical and Professional Communication (TPC) programs already provide substantial instruction in all of the skills and values described in the MacCrate Report; further, an education in TPC prepares graduates to excel in law school and on the bar exam. This knowledge offers opportunities for growth if educators, administrators, and scholars take steps to encourage students to consider not only writing for but also joining in the legal profession.

“…Flexural-creep data on SiAlON ceramics were used to check and verify the theoretical predictions. Since the publication of the paper, several researchers [2][3][4] have attempted to use this analytical method and noticed the implicit assumption in Eqs. (8).…”

Some Remarks on “Improved Analysis for Flexural Creep with Application to SiAlON Ceramics”

An earlier paper co-authored by the present author contains a major assumption in the analytical method that may not be valid in a general class of structural ceramics. A more-rigorous mathematical analysis without this assumption has been performed, and the closed-form solutions of the description of the asymmetric power-law creep behavior are presented. The results presented here should be regarded as further improvements to the original paper, because they are applicable to a more-general case without such an assumption. Using the two loading cases as a numerical example, the present solutions indicate that, in the case of SiAlON ceramics, the original predictions on the stress exponents are still valid. However, the predictions on the pre-exponent constants differ from one to three orders of magnitude, because of error propagation.
