In basic science, it is a key element in the maturing of ecology, including the grasp of ecosystem functioning and of evolutionary biology.
During the translation of basic science, it is still inevitable that some of the treatments do not work, or after a variable period of time under treatment, refractory mechanisms arise and tumor relapse occurs [1], [15].
By contrast in basic science it is very unusual for the results of a single experiment to be published in isolation.
Although a manuscript may be the basic monetary unit of science, it is the equivalent of a charitable donation from a business perspective if one's intellectual property does not have patent protection.
In this article, we are extending the discussion over background assumptions from the basic sciences, where it is well established, to the scientific and regulatory debate over genetically modified (GM) plants.
Metal/organic interface is a focus of both device engineering and basic science, since it is a key factor in nearly all important aspects of device performances, including operation voltages, degradation, and efficiency.
Computational biology contributes to a variety of areas related to life sciences and, due to the growing impact of translational medicine - the scientific approach to medicine in tight relation with basic science -, it is becoming an important player in clinical-related areas.
Although clinicians may find it a challenge to get excited about basic science study, it is clear that further insight into disease pathogenesis underlies the consequent development of novel therapeutics.
Although we have inferred perceived clinical relevance, as measured by our survey, to have causal influence over knowledge retention of basic science items, it is conceivable that in some instances, the direction of causality may in fact be reversed.
