Microgravity Transport Processes in Fluid, Thermal, Materials and Biological Sciences Conference

这次会议将于2001年9月30日至10月5日在加拿大班夫举行，目的是为与微重力研究相关的新兴技术提供一个跨学科的论坛。这项工作将致力于将流体、热学、生物和材料科学的科学家聚集在一起，并就这些学科中与运输过程有关的研究交流技术信息。特别是，重点将是补充这些不同领域的技术专长，并探索跨学科工作的途径。这些不同学科的研究越来越多地涉及跨学科，这就需要分享专门知识，拟议中的会议将提供一个论坛，将重点放在新的领域，专家们将能够在这些领域融合他们的科学思想，处理各种悬而未决的科学问题。这笔资金将帮助支持美国参与者的旅行，这些参与者包括本科生和研究生、博士后研究员和研究资金有限的非终身教职员工。

The purpose of the conference, to be held in Banff, Canada, September 30 through October 5, 2001, is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for emerging technologies related to microgravity research. The effort will be directed towards bringing together scientists from the fluid, thermal, biological and materials sciences and exchange technical information on research related to transport processes in these disciplines. In particular, the focus will be on complementing the technical expertise across these various areas, and exploring the avenues for interdisciplinary work. The growing interdisciplinary aspects of research in these different disciplines necessitates the sharing of expertise, and the proposed conference will provide the forum for focusing on new areas where experts will be able to blend their scientific ideas to deal with various unsolved scientific problems. The funds will help support travel for U.S. participants consisting of undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and non-tenured faculty with limited research funding.
