The concepts in the basic natural sciences had advanced over the past couple of centuries giving rise to a multitude of applications. Starting from the basics of Mathematics to applications in Biology through the use of rudiments in Chemistry and Physics has become a driving force for the subsequent development of novel technologies. Therefore, in this track we would like to invite the investigators working at the intersection of basic and applied sciences to submit their paper(s) to be presented at this centenary conference.
