Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The pecten oculi of the diurnally active pigeon (Columba livia) has been examined by light and electron microscopy. In this species the pecten is of the pleated type. It is situated over the optic nerve head and extends out into the vitreous. Fifteen to 17 accordion folds are joined apically by a heavily pigmented ridge of tissue which holds the pecten in a fan-like shape, widest at the base. The entire pecten is enclosed by a fine basal lamina. Within each fold are numerous capillaries, larger blood vessels and melanocytes. The capillaries are surrounded by thick fibrillar basal laminae which often contain pericytes. These capillaries display numerous microfolds on both the luminal and abluminal borders. The endothelial cell body is extremely thin with most organelles present in a paranuclear location. The melanocytes which are more plentiful in the bridge region form an incomplete sheath around the capillaries and other blood vessels. The morphology of the pecten in the pigeon is indicative of a heavy involvement in the transport of materials.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
