Basic research, also called pure research, fundamental research, basic science, or pure science, is a type of scientific research with the aim of improving scientific theories for better understanding and prediction of natural or other phenomena. In contrast, applied research uses scientific theories to develop technology or techniques, which can be used to intervene and alter natural or other phenomena. Though often driven simply by curiosity, basic research often fuels the technological innovations of applied science. The two aims are often practiced simultaneously in coordinated research and development. In addition to innovations, basic research serves to provide insights and public sup…

Character Chatbot - A Conversational AI Chatbot which can alter its Character according to User Specifications. A chatbot is a type of AI software, developed for the purpose of simulating a conversation with the user. They converse in natural language via messaging applications, websites, or any other form of communication platform. Some chatbots use extensive word-classification processes, Natural Language processors, and sophisticated AI, while others simply scan for general keywords and generate responses using common phrases obtained from an associated library or database. In our project, we have developed a model where the user can create a chatbot specific to a character. The user wil…

Natural science or empirical science is a branch of science concerned with the description, understanding, and prediction of natural phenomena, based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. Mechanisms such as peer review and reproducibility of findings are used to try to ensure the validity of scientific advances. Natural science can be divided into two main branches: life science and physical science. Life science is alternatively known as biology. Physical science is subdivided into physics, astronomy, Earth science, and chemistry. These branches of natural science may be further divided into more specialized branches, also known as fields. As empirical sciences, natur…

Physics is a branch of science in which the primary objects of study are matter and energy. These topics were discussed across many cultures in ancient times by philosophers, but they had no means to distinguish causes of natural phenomena from superstitions. The Scientific Revolution of the 17th century, especially the discovery of the law of gravity, began a process of knowledge accumulation and specialization that gave rise to the field of physics. Mathematical advances of the 18th century gave rise to classical mechanics, and the increased use of the experimental method led to a new understanding of thermodynamics. In the 19th century, the basic laws of electromagnetism and statistical…

Dimensions of artificial intelligence anxiety among employees in the age of innovation: a systematic review.. Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) anxiety has emerged as a significant phenomenon accompanying the digital transformation and increasing adoption of AI in workplace settings. This study aims to identify and synthesize the different dimensions of AI anxiety discussed in prior research. Methods This systematic literature review combines the Scientific Procedures and Rationales for Systematic Literature Reviews (SPAR-4-SLR) guidelines with the Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology (TCCM) analytical framework. The review addresses the 3W1H research questions (What, Where, W…

Determination of benzoylurea pesticides in fish by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry and assessment of their embryotoxicity in zebrafish.. Benzoylureas are an important class of insecticides widely used in agriculture and aquaculture owing to their high efficacy and specific mode of action in pest control. Due to their environmental persistence and potential ecological toxicity, benzoylureas have raised growing scientific and public concern. In this study, a reliable and sensitive method was developed and validated for determination of 8 benzoylurea insecticides in fish. The fish samples underwent ultrasonic-assisted extraction with acetonitrile/methanol, followed by p…

Grounded theory is a systematic methodology that has been largely applied to qualitative research conducted by social scientists. The methodology involves the construction of hypotheses and theories through the analysis of data and inductive reasoning. The methodology contrasts with the hypothetico-deductive model used in traditional scientific research. A study based on grounded theory is likely to begin with a question, or even just with the collection of qualitative data. As researchers review the data collected, ideas or concepts become apparent to the researchers. These ideas/concepts are said to "emerge" from the data. The researchers tag those ideas/concepts with codes that succinctl…

Scientific racism, sometimes termed biological racism, is the pseudoscientific belief that the human species is divided into biologically distinct taxa called "races", and that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racial discrimination, racial inferiority, or racial superiority. Modern scientific consensus rejects this view as being irreconcilable with genetic research. Scientific racism misapplies, misconstrues, or distorts physical anthropology, craniometry, evolutionary biology, and other disciplines or pseudo-disciplines through proposing typologies to classify human populations into physically discrete human races, some of which are asserted to be superior or inferior to oth…

Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable explanations about nature and society. It is driven by the scientific method: an empirical cycle that typically involves making observations, producing hypotheses, testing them with evidence, and drawing conclusions. Science encompasses this process and the body of knowledge it produces, which the scientific community continuously challenges, validates, and organises. Modern science is typically divided into two major branches: the natural sciences, which study the physical world, and the social sciences, which study individuals and societies. While referred to as the formal sciences, logic, mathe…
