Translational research is broader than the traditional term “applied research.” Applied research is any research that may possibly be useful for enhancing health or well-being. It does not necessarily have to have any effort connected with it to take the research to a practical level.
Do you know that there is a difference between both relevant terminology? Researchers use them interchangeably but they are actually different. kindly share your idea?

Fill the Survey, to analyze the Impacts of COVID-19 on the Present and Future of Transportation.
Covid-19 has been affecting the growth of the transportation system, whether it is by road, sea or air. It has also affected the economic condition of the transportation sector. It is affected-due to the various challenges which had come into existence during Covid-19 pandemic. The effect caused by the influencing factors of Covid-19 is also affecting the future of these transportation companies. The demand for public and other transportation had become low due to the varying lockdown phases in different states and countries. In this way, the transportation sectors being affected due to the obstacles brought by Covid-19 pandemic.
I would like to know that, what are the innovative strategies used for overcoming effects of the pandemic on transportation?
Coronavirus outbreak has forced nations under lockdowns restricting or putting a halt on transportation, agricultural as well as industrial activities across the globe. These measures are taken to contain the pandemic and save lives.
1) What do you think the current lockdowns will help the mother nature to restore?
2) if we would like to conduct research what do you think, can we analyze the situation while using the Remote Sensing or GIS, do you have any suggestion, what else needs to be adopted which give us an overview of the Environment to measure that how much it's Recovered.
Do you the Difference between Inductive and Deductive Approach, how its approach varies in the filed of Research & development.
