APD: Aesthetics, Patterns & Design.
We live in a World, where most are obsessed, and with what they do call Basic Research. In all, the seeking out Knowledge, and for the very purpose too, of simply merely accumulating it all {meaning in all again, having a known storage of Knowledge, and for no true known aim or purpose either}. In many a way, Knowledge accumulatd, and for the very purpose too perhaps, and of hopefully selling it all, and to the highest bidder too actually {and as with the case even, or hope too, and of making Money and as based around Data Warehousing, or even Data Mining too that is}.
Many a place today, deemed a Powerhouse of a kind and such as India or China too, do engage vigorously in all, and in Basic Research actually {and not Applied Research either and as many are won't to believe in that is}.In many a way though, even with lots of Knowledge accumulated and via Basic Research too, one still has to very much know, just how to apply it all (Applied Research), and to just about anything too. In all, Applied Research, is where Aesthetics, Patterns & Design, do duly meet with Basic Research, and in order to gain, what they do term Applied Intelligence in all {meaning in all again, certain forms of knowledge in all and as often termed the Initial (and as in Initial Data for instance), does meet with Applied Knowledge in all again and in the form of Aesthetics, Patterns & Design too, and with the output in all, being Artificial Intelligence that is}.
When it does come to Asia, one still very much does find that it is Japan, that is still very much a leader, and in what they do term APD (Aesthetics, Patterns & Design), and with China and India on the otherhand, heavily concentrating only, and on Basic Research too (with India though choosing to enter into AI - Applied Intelligence, in one way or another that is}. In all, the rankings in Asia and as with regards to APD & AI are:
1. Japan
2. South Korea
3. India
4. Hong Kong
5. China, Taiwan
