Bifurcation originally meant "splitting into two parts. " Namely, a system under- goes a bifurcation when there is a qualitative change in the behavior of the sys- tem. Bifurcation in the context of dynamical systems, where the time evolution of systems are involved, has been the subject of research for many scientists and engineers for the past hundred years simply because bifurcations are interesting. A very good way of understanding bifurcations would be to see them first and study theories second. Another way would be to first comprehend the basic concepts and theories and then see what...

This book overviews cutting-edge research on thermocapillary convection driven by temperature dependence of surface tension. A notable feature of the book is that it is concerned with a series of experiments performed under microgravity in the Japanese experimental module Kibo aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Also described are related topics such as onboard experimental apparatus, executing procedures, international collaborations, preceding terrestrial studies, and their many outcomes. Further, it presents insights into applications of capillarity to microelectromechanical...
