Topology of thermogenic tissues of<i>Alocasia macrorrhizos</i>(Araceae) inflorescences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Thermogenesis and heat generating tissues in inflorescences of the giant taro ( Alocasia macrorrhizos (L.) G. Don) were studied from December 2005 to February 2006, on the Island of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. Temperatures were recorded in the ambient air, in the peduncle tissue, and on 12 positions within spadices during periods of maximum thermogenic activity, in the early morning hours of the female and male phases. The study showed that there were three thermogenic tissues: the sterile appendix, the fertile male part, and the differentiated sterile area below the fertile male part. During the female phase, heat was generated by the sterile appendix and the differentiated sterile area below the fertile male part, the smallest region of the spadix (mean ± SD = 0.86 ± 0.24 cm, 3.17% of the spadix length), and most probably by the fertile male part. Within the spadix, average temperatures gradually increased from the base of the female part and reached the first peak at the midpoint of the differentiated sterile area below the fertile male part (36.11 ± 1.54 °C). After that, they gradually decreased towards the midpoint of the fertile male part and increased again, reaching a second (main) peak at 1/4 of the sterile appendix height (44.83 ± 1.87 °C). From 1/4 to 1/2 of the appendix height they remained at more or less the same level, and then they decreased towards the tip of the spadix. During the male phase, heat was generated only within the fertile male part.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
