The rate of upward creeping in negatively geotropic rats aged 13 to 14 days is a function of the gravitational stimulus. The rate of upward movement on the creeping plane, like the angle of orientation, is directly proportional to the logarithm of the gravity component. The variability in the speed of creeping decreases in proportion to the logarithm of the gravitational effect. When weights ar...

The properties of ultrasonic creeping wave were stated. Experimentations on the rabbet of aeroengine turbine blade were applied with ultrasonic creeping wave testing. The result indicates that the creeping testing method is feasible to inspect the rabbet of turbine blade in situ.

We present results from differential Global Positioning System (GPS) surveys of seven alignment arrays and four continuous GPS sites along the creeping segment of the San Andreas fault. Surveys of four alignment arrays from the central creeping segment yield 33to 36-year average minimum slip rates of 21–26 mm/yr. These rates are consistent with previous alignment array surveys spanning a 10-yea...

We use high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radarand GPS-derived observations of surface displacements to derive the first probabilistic estimates of fault coupling along the creeping section of the San Andreas Fault, in between the terminations of the 1857 and 1906 magnitude 7.9 earthquakes. Using a fully Bayesian approach enables unequaled resolution and allows us to infer a high probability of...

Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera, allotetraploid 2n = 4x = 28) is one of the major cool-season turfgrasses. It is widely used on golf courses due to its tolerance to low mowing and aggressive growth habit. In this study, we investigated genome relationships of creeping bentgrass relative to the Triticeae (a consensus map of Triticum aestivum, T. tauschii, Hordeum vulgare, and H. spontan...

Creeping mergers are often cited as a problem in the context of concentrated industries, but practical competition law solutions are rarely suggested. Concern typically arises from a series of mergers which increase concentration in an industry but which do not individually cause substantial anti-competitive effects, particularly where the acquisitions are undertaken by a dominant firm. In Sout...

We present a detailed numerical study of creeping solitons in dissipative systems. A bifurcation diagram has been constructed for the region of transition between solitons and fronts. It shows a rich variety of transitions between various types of localized solutions. For the first time, we have found a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations of creeping solitons, and also a symmetry-breaking ...

[1] We show that realistic aftershock sequences with space-time characteristics compatible with observations are generated by a model consisting of brittle fault segments separated by creeping zones. The dynamics of the brittle regions is governed by static/kinetic friction, 3D elastic stress transfer and small creep deformation. The creeping parts are characterized by high ongoing creep veloci...

Sclerotinia homoeocarpa causes dollar spot disease, the predominate disease on highly-maintained turfgrass. Currently, there are major gaps in our understanding of the molecular interactions between S. homoeocarpa and creeping bentgrass. In this study, 454 sequencing technology was used in the de novo assembly of S. homoeocarpa and creeping bentgrass transcriptomes. Transcript sequence data obt...
