Abstract
Clayey soil found in coal mines in Appalachian Ohio is typically used for constructing Recompacted Soil Liners (RSL) in landfills. The suitability of mined clay for RSL in Ohio is first decided by its clay content. Even though the standard sampling and processing techniques should not produce different grain-size distributions, mined clay from Appalachian Ohio is an exception. This discrepancy poses a challenge to the geotechnical engineers who work on prequalification process of RSL material. This paper describes a laboratory investigation conducted on mined clay from Appalachian Ohio to determine how and why the standard sampling and/or processing methods affect the grain-size distributions. About a 10 percent decrease in the clay content was consistently observed in the samples obtained from clayey soil stockpiles, compared to those collected during reverse circulation drilling. It was discovered that the fragments of shale in underclay was responsible for the discrepancy.

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 it
