Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study sought to verify reports of increasing proportions of males being born during times of war. We analyzed the sex ratio of over 12,000 births occurring between 1940 and 1980, over 9000 of which occurred specifically in the United States, with the remainder taking place primarily in Canada. Our findings confirmed that, for both the United States and elsewhere, significantly greater proportions of males were born during times of war than during years of relative peace.

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.
