We make remarks on Ristroph and Zhang's [{\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} 101, 194502 (2008)] paper.
The aim of this communication is to correct inaccurate statements presented in a Commentary on the paper titled: "Radiation forces and torque on a rigid elliptical cylinder in acoustical plane progressive and (quasi)standing waves with…
A significant mathematical error is identified and corrected in a recent highly-cited paper on oscillatory flows of second-grade fluids [Fetecau & Fetecau (2005). Int. J. Eng. Sci., 43, 781--789]. The corrected solutions are shown to agree…
We make a few comments on some misleading statements in the above paper.
In the paper [Hong-Shi Zong, Wei-Min Sun, Phys. Lett. B 640 (2006) 196], the authors claim that our proof of the inconsistency of the ladder approximation to QCD [Phys. Lett. B 611 (2005) 129] was incorrect. However, their claim is based on…
A comment to the paper by S. Chen, H. B\"uttner, and J. Voit, [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 087205 (2001)].
Recent objections (Phys.Lett. B 637, 156) to the published Zeplin I limit (Astropart. Phys 23, 444) are shown to arise from misunderstandings of the calibration data and procedure, and a misreading of the data in one of the referenced…
The flapping flag instability occurs when a flexible cantilevered plate is immersed in a uniform airflow. To this day, the nonlinear aspects of this aeroelastic instability are largely unknown. In particular, experiments in the literature…
In a recent Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. vol 96, 066001 (2006), ref [1]), Choi and Kim reported slip lengths of a few tens of microns for water on nanoengineered superhydrophobic surfaces, on the basis of rheometry (cone-and-plate)…
In a recent Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4200 (1998)) Park and Jain presented results of gap calculations for polarized states at \nu=1/3, 2/5, 3/7 and 4/9. They computed the effects on the gaps due the finite width of the interfacial wave…
We examine a series of articles on honeybee odometry and navigation published between 1996 and 2010, and find inconsistencies in results, duplicated figures, indications of data manipulation, and incorrect calculations. This suggests that…

It is shown that the work by Farago and Gradzielski [J. Chem. Phys. 114, 10105 (2001)] is based on incorrect expressions for the scattering functions, contains a number of other serious defects, and should be revised.
Imperfect photometric calibration of galaxy surveys due to either astrophysical or instrumental effects leads to biases in measuring galaxy clustering and in the resulting cosmological parameter measurements. More interestingly (and…

We clarify the basic faults in Fang, A.; Mi, Y. Drainage of a Thin Liquid Film between Hydrophobic Spheres: Boundary Curvature Effects. Langmuir 2014, 30, 83-89, which led to unphysical conclusions.
In a recent Comment, Decca et al. [Phys. Rev. A 79, 026101 (2009); arXiv:0809.3576] discussed the origin of the anomalies recently reported by us in Phys. Rev. A 78, 036102(R) (2008); arXiv:0812.0028 . Here we restate our view, corroborated…
We argue that it is not possible to infer from the results of Partridge et al. (Reports, 27 January 2006, p. 503) which of their data was taken in the superfluid or normal regime, and which of their clouds are phase-separated and which are…
We show that the criticism of our paper [Phys. Rev. B 65, 125109 (2002)] by Wang, Millis, and Das Sarma [cond-mat/0206203] is based on a trivial mathematical mistake they have committed.
The experimental findings reported in our original paper [1] (arXiv:1211.2913) have been criticized in ref.[2] (arXiv:1606.00710). We believe that the arguments brought in ref. [2] are not correct and we show evidence for this.
