Abstract
To probe how the aerosol substrate influences heterogeneous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) oxidation, we investigated the reaction of surface-bound anthracene with gas-phase ozone on phenylsiloxane oil and azelaic acid aerosols under dry conditions in an aerosol flow tube with offline analysis of anthracene. The reaction exhibited pseudo-first-order kinetics for anthracene loss, and the pseudo-first-order rate coefficients displayed a Langmuir-Hinshelwood dependence on the gas-phase ozone concentration on both aerosol substrates. The following parameters were found: for the reaction on phenylsiloxane oil aerosols, K(O3) = (1.0 +/- 0.4) x 10(-13) cm(3) and k(I)(max) = (0.010 +/- 0.003) s(-1); for the reaction on azelaic acid aerosols, K(O3) = (2.2 +/- 0.9) x 10(-15) cm(3) and k(I)(max) = (0.057 +/- 0.009) s(-1), where K(O3) is a parameter that describes the partitioning of ozone to the surface and k(I)(max) is the maximum pseudo-first-order rate coefficient at high ozone concentrations. The K(O3) value for the reaction of surface-bound anthracene and ozone on azelaic acid aerosols is similar to the K(O3) value that we obtained in our previous study for the reaction of surface-bound benzo[a]pyrene and ozone on the same substrate. This finding supports our earlier hypothesis that the substrate influences the partitioning of ozone to the surface irrespective of the organic species (i.e., PAH) adsorbed to it. Preliminary ab initio calculations were performed to investigate whether there is a relationship between the relative binding energies of the ozone-substrate complex and the K(O3) values for the different substrates studied. A comparison between kinetic results obtained on aerosol substrates and thin films is presented.

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 it
