14. We also took into account standard finite frequency deviations in oscillatory flow, γ̇ always referring to the effective shear rate at the bottom surface.

20. A close inspection of the new constitutive relation reveals that our experimental results cannot be explained by simply introducing a modified, shear rate power law expression for the surface tension. Thus, at this point we were not able to make a working connection with results from Ref. [19] or from elsewhere in the literature.
