II. Give examples of Basics and Applied Research problems. (2pts each number)
A. Basic Research Problem
1. How rusts are formed?
(Rust is the conventional term for iron oxide; the most well-known type of rust is
the reddish coating that develops flakes on iron and steel (Fe2O3), but rust also
appears in yellow, brown, orange, and even green. Its formation is critical,
particularly in engineering.)

2. What are the components making up human DNA?

(The history of the human race has been filled with curiosity and discovery about
our abilities and limitations. As egotistical creatures with a seemingly unstoppable
desire for new accomplishments, we attempt feats with emotion and tenacity.
Enormous sums of money were spent on sending people into space and the race
to land on the moon.
 3. What are the causative factors of cancer?
(While it is impossible to determine why one person develops cancer and another
does not, research has indicated that certain risk factors may enhance a person's
chances of having cancer.)

B. Applied Research Problem

1. A study on preventing corrosion using an ultra-thin coating.
(A variety of two-dimensional materials with promising properties for optical,
electronic, or optoelectronic applications have been hampered by the fact that they
quickly degrade when exposed to oxygen and water vapor; the protective coatings
developed thus far have proven to be expensive and toxic, and cannot be
removed; thus, the use to prevent corrosion.)

2. A study on the treatment of smallpox.

(Smallpox patients are normally treated with supportive care; vaccination with
replication-competent smallpox vaccines can prevent or lower the severity of the
disease if administered within 2 to 3 days after initial exposure, and they may
reduce symptoms if given within the first week of exposure.)

3. A study to improve the communication skills of introverts.

(Some people have mastered the art of communicating. They can communicate
freely and have meaningful discussions regardless of the situation or location.
Even if the other person is tough, prickly, or simply refuses to participate, they may
smooth things up. In a nutshell, they make it appear so simple. As a result, it is
critical for introverts.)
