Polymeric Coating Applied for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Corrosive Medium
Abstract: Mild steel is coated with a polymer layer of polybutadiene for protection. However, this coating does not effectively safeguard the metal in environments containing moisture, sulphur dioxide, or chloride. These pollutants interact with the polybutadiene-coated surface, creating a highly corrosive atmosphere. Moisture condenses on the coated metal surface and absorbs sulphur dioxide, forming sulphuric acid. This acid initiates both chemical and electrochemical reactions with the polymer-coated metal, accelerating the corrosion …

AI- based Prediction of Misinformation Virality Before Wide Dissemination using Attention-based Multi-modal
Abstract: Misinformation on social media has emerged as a critical global challenge, impacting public health, democratic institutions, and societal trust. While existing research has largely concentrated on detecting misinformation after it begins circulating, predicting its virality before wide dissemination remains an underexplored area, limited work addresses predicting its virality before wide dissemination. This paper presents a conceptual framework using attention-based multi-modal deep learning models to estimate the virality of misinformation posts …
