Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The identification of BSE in North American cattle has dramatically affected the beef industry, from the feed manufacturers to producers to processors. Investigation of the two cases of BSE confirmed in 2003 have provided important clues as to the North American situation. Actions taken by both Canada and the US over the past 15 years provided a strong foundation on which to build additional measures to protect animal and public health. Public confidence in the food system and in the safety of beef remains high. Nevertheless, trade in beef and beef products has been affected strongly, as many of the major export markets have taken a precautionary approach. Following is a summary of the BSE investigation results in North America and the subsequent regulatory actions taken by Canada and the US to protect animal and public health. Relevant international trends affecting both the regulation of BSE and the trade in cattle and cattle products will be reviewed.

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.
