Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

By using brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality test-guided fractionation, a single bioactive compound (LC(50)=26 ppm) was isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of the dried aerial parts of Impatiens balsamina L. and subsequently identified as 2-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (MNQ). The structure of MNQ was confirmed by UV, FT-IR, MS, and 1-and 2-D NMR spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of MNQ was evaluated using 12 bacterial and eight fungal strains. Five gram-positive and two gram-negative bacteria as well as all eight fungi (including multi-drug resistant strains) tested were highly sensitive to MNQ. A tea prepared according to traditional methods was found to contain sufficient MNQ to account for its antimicrobial properties.

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.

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.
