Abstract
The solution properties of wheat beta-glucan were investigated by light scattering and viscometric methods. The hydrodynamic radius (R(h)), weight average molecular weight (M(w)), radius of gyration (R(g)), and the second virial coefficient (A(2)) of wheat beta-glucan were determined by both dynamic and static light scattering methods, whereas the critical concentrations (c) of the solution were derived from [eta] via viscometric method. The structure sensitive parameters, rho (1.52-1.62), the conformation parameter nu (0.62), and the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada exponents alpha (0.78) confirmed the random coil conformation of wheat beta-glucan in 0.5 M NaOH solution. The characteristic ratio (4.97) was obtained by the random flight model, and the statistical segment length (8.83 nm) was derived from the wormlike cylinder model. It was found that the wormlike cylinder model could explain the chain stiffness better than the random flight model, which suggested an extended random coil conformation of wheat beta-glucan in 0.5 M NaOH solution. The study also revealed that the structure feature of wheat beta-glucan; that is, the higher trisaccharide-to-tetrasaccharide ratio contributed to the stiffer chain conformation compared with other cereal beta-glucans.

Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
