    Artificial Intelligence is the ground-breaking modern technology in the market and ChatGPT is one of the best implementations of artificial intelligence, which became available to general public. This study aims to examine the influence of ChatGPT on the academic performance of Indian international students in American higher education. Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of everyone’s life, especially students who adapt quickly. ChatGPT is convenient and easy to use and provides convenient and comprised answers depending on their question. This study will be conducted on students of the age group 18 to 24 years, who have used or explored ChatGPT. For this study a total of 10 participants will be taken and interviewed, out of which five are graduate students and five are undergraduate students from Pittsburg State University. This study considers the cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds of Indian international students, which play an important role in shaping their academic experiences in the United States. The results of the study are based on the reviews and experiences of the students, which will be compared and analyzed to draw conclusions. This study will provide knowledge on Indian international students on how usage of ChatGPT will change their learning methods in a positive and negative way. This study can help schools and technology developers improve their support towards these students, making their time studying abroad easier and more comfortable

    Acid-Doped Biopolymer Nanocoating as Flame-Retardant for Polyurethane Foam

    Get PDF
    Soft furnishing fires contribute to 29% of fire causalities and $8.7 billion in direct property damage annually in the United States. Polyurethane foam (PUF), a common component in soft furnishings known for its comfort and flexibility, can emit toxic gases and propagate fires due to melt dripping when ignited. Various acid salts were added to a layer-by-layer assembled nanocoating, consisting of chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose, to improve PUF flame retardancy and to understand the influence of salt-doping on flammability. The 20-bilayer phosphoric acid-doped coating exhibits a self-extinguishing behavior, with a 67% reduction in peak heat release rate while maintaining the structural integrity of the foam. By depositing this completely environmentally sourced coating on PUF, the inherent danger of soft furnishing fires can be significantly reduced in a nontoxic manner

    Patient data is a critical concern in U.S. healthcare, and this research delves into how anomaly detection (Machine Learning) contributes to safeguarding patient information. Many studies have highlighted the growing cyber threats to healthcare data. However, those studies have certain limitations when they are closely examined. Recognizing these gaps, this research aims to explore the effectiveness of anomaly detection in enhancing cybersecurity measures for patient data. The study employs advanced machine-learning techniques, preferably anomaly detection, to predict and prevent cyber-attacks. The research introduces methods that address the shortcomings of prior studies and offer a better understanding of the role of anomaly detection in ensuring the safety of patient data. The findings of the study reveal that anomaly detection significantly enhances the healthcare industry\u27s ability to identify and mitigate cyber threats and provide better defense against potential security breaches. These results have helped in improving cyber security practices within the health sector in the U.S. This study underscores the significance of integrating anomaly detection into cybersecurity strategies, ultimately contributing to the efforts to protect patient data in health centers

    Amorphous Phosphorus-Incorporated Cobalt Molybdenum Sulphide on Carbon Cloth: An Efficient and Stable Electrocatalyst for Enhanced Overall Water Splitting Over Entire pH Values

    Get PDF
    ­­­Developing cost-effective, efficient, and highly durable catalysts to replace expensive noble metal electrodes in electrocatalytic water-splitting applications is crucial. A particularly intriguing and challenging strategy in this regard involves the deliberate design of nanocomposites comprising multiple components with distinct functionalities. Here, we present the synthesis of a robustly catalytic and exceptionally durable electrocatalyst, phosphorus-incorporated cobalt molybdenum sulphide (P-CoMoS), grown on carbon cloth (CC). This hybrid material demonstrates remarkable activity for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions across a wide pH range (1−14), while maintaining extremely high stability (approximately 90% retention of the initial current density) after 24 hours of electrolysis. Notably, when utilized as both cathode and anode for overall water splitting, P-CoMoS/CC achieves a remarkably low cell voltage of 1.54 V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2, with the hybrid material exhibiting long-term stability (89.8% activity retention after 100 hours). The exceptional performance in overall water splitting, compared to electrolysers employing noble-metal-based catalysts such as Pt/C and RuO2, positions P-CoMoS as one of the most efficient earth-abundant catalysts for water splitting. The incorporation of phosphorus has been demonstrated to be crucial for enhancing the charge-transfer properties and catalytic durability of the P-CoMoS/CC catalyst

    Facile Approach for the Synthesis of Performance-Advantaged Degradable Bio-Based Thermoset via Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization from Epoxidized Soybean Oil

    Get PDF
    In order to address environmental concerns regarding polymer pollution, the development of polymeric materials that are generated from sustainable sources continues to be the primary focus of attention. Through the utilization of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), the objective of this research is to create a thermoset that is derived from biomaterials and is capable of biodegradation. Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) will serve as the starting point for the procedure. Following the first transformation of ESO into norbornene-functionalized ESO, the thermoset is subsequently generated through the utilization of ROMP, which is a rapid polymerization technique. Because of its outstanding thermal and mechanical qualities, this thermoset, which is produced from ESO, is suitable for use in the production of composites by virtue of its suitability. Additionally, when it is subjected to aqueous NaOH or KOH, it is capable of totally disintegrating into oligomers and molecules of a very small size after being broken down. In addition, the functionalized ESO has the capability of being copolymerized with norbornene, which may lead to the formation of copolymers that are partially degradable. A viable approach to the creation of thermosets that are biodegradable from vegetable oils for a variety of applications is provided by this technique. As a result, this technique contributes to the development of environmentally friendly practices
