A model of unloaded human intervertebral disk based on NMR relaxation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
NMR relaxation rates were related to the composition of the nucleus pulposus from 11 and anulus fibrosus from six human intervertebral disks. Tissue water was proportional to glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and residue, the noncollagen, non-GAG portion of the dry weight (R2 = 0.74). The solid signal fraction depended on collagen and residue protons (R2 = 0.89). 1/T1 was proportional to collagen and residue (R2 = 0.97). T2 showed 2-4 components labeled A, B, C, and D, with means +/- standard deviations of 3.1 +/- 1.6, 17.5 +/- 9.5, 64 +/- 22, and 347 +/- 162 msec. Signal fractions of A and B depended on the collagen-associated water protons (R2 = 0.94 and 0.85), C on residue-associated water protons (R2 = 0.82), and D on GAG-associated water protons (R2 = 0.74). The data led to a model of disk architecture in which the collagen and residue were largely solid, forming distinct water compartments; the remaining water was present in a proteoglycan gel.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
