Recovery of postural equilibrium control following spaceflight.

abstract：:This paper reviews a series of my heat transfer studies of on the so-called "self-rewetting" fluids, in which the Marangoni effect due to concentration gradient and the thermocapillary flow cooperatively result in a strong liquid inflow at the nucleation sites in the course of boiling. First of all, the background of ...
