Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A novel electrochemical method for the recognition of different species of microorganisms has been developed. It consists of sampled DC voltammetry applied directly to microbial cultures or to the supernatants of these cultures obtained following centrifugation. Pt, Au, and glassy carbon working electrode materials were examined. Complete and replicated voltammograms obtained at gold working electrodes were processed by factor analysis to generate the scores plots that were used for pattern recognition of the different species. Three Gram-negative bacteria (E. aerogenes, P. vulgaris and E. coli), two Gram-positive bacteria (B. cereus and S. aureus) and one fungus (S. cerevisiae) were tested. The chemometric methods employed for data analysis produced clear groupings of replicate voltammograms for these organisms, allowing species identification.

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.
