Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Fecal coliform (FC) and Escherichia coli (EC) concentrations in the Oldman River and its tributaries, and in irrigation canals in southern Alberta, Canada, were monitored during 1998, 1999 and 2000. High FC and EC counts were found in drainages from agricultural lands in all years and in the Oldman River downstream of the City of Lethbridge wastewater treatment plant (WTP) during 1998. A significant decrease in the FC and EC concentrations downstream from the Lethbridge WTP was observed in 1999, after an upgrade to the WTP, which included a UV disinfection system. Spikes in FC and EC concentrations were observed in surface waters following heavy rainfall events. It is possible that a decrease in precipitation was responsible for decreases in the FC and EC concentrations observed in the Oldman River over the three years of the study. The increase in FC and EC counts in the tributaries and irrigation canals during this same period presumably reflects greater waste inputs from agricultural lands.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
