Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This book is about the uses of diatoms (Class Bacillariophyceae), a group of microscopic algae abundant in almost all aquatic habitats. There is no accurate count of the number of diatom species; however, estimates on the order of 104 are often given (Guillard & Kilham, 1977), although Mann & Droop (1996) point out that this number would be raised to at least 105 by application of modern species concepts. Diatoms are characterized by a number of features, but are most easily recognized by their siliceous (opaline) cell walls, composed of two valves, that, together with the girdle bands, form a frustule (Figure 1.1). The size, shape, and sculpturing of diatom cell walls are taxonomically diagnostic. Moreover, because of their siliceous composition, they are often very well preserved in fossil deposits and have a number of industrial uses.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
