Abstract
Applying an electrical field for 10 min to mechanically dewatered biosolids increased dryness to 35 to 45% and reduced Escherichia coli levels to/close to detection limits. Possible reasons for the regrowth of bacterial pathogens impacted by electro-osmotic dewatering are biosolids dryness, low pH and the generation of bacterial oxidants on the anode due to high temperatures. Testing for this with aerobic and anaerobic incubations resulted in more than four logs of E. coli regrowth in 2011, when biosolids harboured higher initial counts; whereas regrowth was not observed in 2012, when biosolids had lower E. coli counts. In 2011 experiments, however, addition of a nitrate salt prior to anaerobic incubations reduced regrowth by 1.4 logs. This indicates that other NO3−-respiring organisms could be competing with E. coli and diverting electrons away from the E. coli population. These results suggest that electro-osmotic dewatering and nitrate can play a role in controlling E. coli regrowth.

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
