Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 2002, as mosquitoes carried West Nile virus across the United States, infecting 4200 people, 23 confirmed cases of transfusion-transmitted infection and 7 related deaths were reported.1 This was a dramatic demonstration that an emerging agent can threaten the safety of the blood supply. Because the virus's incubation period is usually 3 to 15 days and transmission by transfusion stood out against the background of a mosquito-borne epidemic, these transmissions were recognized quickly, nucleic acid–amplification technology was adapted for the detection of the virus, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada mandated the screening of donated blood . . .

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.
