From page 10...
... The scientific disciplines contained within the PART I microgravity program, and which are covered in this report, include fluid CHAPTER 1 mechanics and transport phenomena, combustion, biological sciences and CHAPTER 2 biotechnology, materials science, and microgravity physics. This represents an PART II enormously broad spectrum of science, and a determination of the relative CHAPTER 3 amount of support that is justified for individual disciplines and subdisciplines is CHAPTER 4 difficult to make without a set of overriding criteria (such as the value to industry)
