An experimental apparatus to study the breaking process of axisymmetric liquid bridges has been developed, and the breaking sequences of a large number of liquid bridge configurations at minimum-volume stability limit have been analyzed. Experimental results show that very close to the breaking moment the neck radius of the liquid bridge varies as t, where t is the time to breakage, irrespectiv...

This paper focuses on the second interpretation and shows how a shifting of priorities in prioritized bases can be used for a simple...
