The dynamics of viscous drops in linear creeping flows are investigated near the critical flow strength at which stationary drop shapes cease to exist. According to our theory the near-critical behavior of drops is dominated by a single slow mode evolving on a time scale that diverges at the critical point with exponent 1/2. The theory is based on the assumption that the system undergoes a sadd...

This case report describes a unique creeping attachment that developed mesiobucally on a deep, wide recession (3 mm) and extended along the remaining buccal recession (2 mm) of a maxillary first molar with a full-crown gold restoration subsequent to autogenous gingival grafting. Complete coverage of the root by this degree of creeping attachment on a restored multirooted tooth has not previousl...

We study creeping solitons of the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGLE) using numerical simulations and analyze them with a lowdimensional model using the method of moments. We find the regions of existence of creeping solitons in the parameter space of the CGLE. We also provide a comparison with exact results obtained using numerical simulations.

The linear stability of plane Couette flow past a deformable solid is analyzed in the creeping-flow limit with an objective towards elucidating the consequences of employing two widely different formulations for the dissipative stresses in the deformable solid. One of the formulations postulates that the dissipative stress is proportional to the strain-rate tensor based on the left Cauchy-Green...

Free gingival grafts have been used to repair periodontal deformities resulting from gingival recession. The review of the literature has, however, revealed only a few report of successful root coverage by this technique. The cases of successful root coverage by free gingival grafts technique were presented . In this study, 6 areas of localized gingival recession with root exposure were treated...

The pathogenicity and interactions of Meloidogyne naasi, Pratylenchus penetrans, and Tylenchorhynchus agri on 'Toronto C-15' creeping bentgrass, Agrostis palustris, was studied in a long-term greenhouse experiment. Based on dry weights of roots and clippings, M. naasi alone and in all combinations with P. penetrans and T. agri was highly pathogenic to creeping bentgrass. P. penetrans and T. agr...

In this paper we address the issue of a creeping wave by investigating a twodimensional configuration which involves a surface-braking crack in a traction free planar backwall. We assume that this back-wall is irradiated by a shear Gaussian beam which is incident at a critical angle and hits the wall away from the crack edge. We show that the generated wave known in the engineering literature a...
