The main message in this paper is that there are surprisingly many different Brownian bridges, some of them - familiar, some of them - less familiar. Many of these Brownian bridges are very close to Brownian motions. Somewhat loosely…

Skew bridges are common in highways and railway lines when non perpendicular crossings are encountered. The structural effect of skewness is an additional torsion on the bridge deck which may have a considerable effect, making its analysis…

We investigate a gas of wet granular particles, covered by a thin liquid film. The dynamic evolution is governed by two-particle interactions, which are mainly due to interfacial forces in contrast to dry granular gases. When two wet grains…
