Supreme Court Opinions and Audiences

This Article evaluates different rhetorical strategies Supreme Court justices employ in writing their opinions for specific audiences. Black, Owens, Wedeking, and Wohlfarth suggest justices keep lower federal courts, state governments, federal bureaucratic agencies, and the public in mind when crafting decisions, particularly to ensure compliance with the decision and avoid non-compliance. The Article identifies opinion clarity as a means of ensuring lower federal courts will follow precedent, as well as a way for smaller and less sophisticated bureaucratic agencies to avoid shirking the Court’s rulings. The Article concludes judicial clarity is only one of an arsenal of rhetorical devices used by the Supreme Court justices, and further evaluation and research may be helpful

Anaerobic Digestion in a Flooded Densified Leachbed

A document discusses the adaptation of a patented biomass-digesting process, denoted sequential batch anaerobic composting (SEBAC), to recycling of wastes aboard a spacecraft. In SEBAC, high-solids-content biomass wastes are converted into methane, carbon dioxide, and compost

Brief Communication

Abstract: A brief technique to place a cement plug on top of a polyethylene is presented. This technique has helped the authors obtain better cement mantles when they are plugging the canal in total hip replacement. Key words: femoral intramedullary plug, cemented hip arthroplasty, technique, biomechanical studies, hip replacement. Currently, more than 200,000 hemiarthroplasties and total hip replacements are performed every year in the United States First-generation cementing techniques consisted of hand mixing of the cement and finger packing of the cement into the femoral canal. Modern (secondgeneration) cementing techniques consist of pressurized insertion of the cement, centrifugation or vacuum mixing, and plugging of the intramedullary canal. These changes decrease the porosity of th
