Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The results of a survey sent to all U.S. and Canadian dental schools clearly indicate that several substantial changes have occurred in infection control and exposure control in the past fifteen to twenty years. Predominant among these are that the responsibility for instrument preparation and sterilization in most schools has passed from the student to trained staff, the routine practice of universal precautions has eliminated the need to treat patients known to carry bloodborne diseases in a special area, and pre-admission and enrollment vaccination and health screening requirements have changed significantly. Other important changes result from the fact that the majority of U.S. schools responding to the survey are now, to a great extent, in compliance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard or equivalent requirements.

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.
