Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A new radiochemical separation method has been developed for rapid analysis of (226)Ra in urine samples. In this method, radium is separated from urine matrix using cation and anion exchange column chromatography. A (224)Ra tracer is added, together with its parent in the (228)Th standard, for chemical recovery correction. After separation, the sample is precipitated with hydrous titanium oxide and then prepared for counting by creating a thin-layer counting source using BaSO(4) micro-precipitation. The radium isotopes are then counted by alpha spectrometry. Replicate spike and blank samples were analysed for validation of the procedure. The detection limit was determined to be 0.22 Bq l(-1) with 4 h of counting for 20 ml of urine sample. Using this method, the results can be reported within an 8 h turn-around time. This method is suitable for quick dose assessment of (226)Ra exposure following a radiation emergency.

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.
