Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The K‐shell X‐ray fluorescence technique that was developed for measurement of lead in bone in living human subjects was applied to measurement of lead in archived human bone samples. The skull from a person who had suffered from Paget's disease was found to have lead concentrations of 97.5±3.6–532.2±3.2 µg Pb/g bone mineral. A femur sample from a different person, who had also suffered from Paget's disease, had a lead concentration of 18–43.5 with uncertainties between 1.6 and 2.0 µg Pb/g bone mineral. The skull lead concentrations were highly raised compared with findings from in vivo bone Pb measurements, whereas the femur lead concentrations were somewhat raised. In the past, the hypothesis has been put forward that lead can be involved in the etiology of Paget's disease; however, other reports in the literature have not supported that hypothesis. The current findings, while intriguing, are too few to be in any way conclusive but merit further study. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

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.
