Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper reports the results from work done to optimize a novel manual tree falling method that uses uncut strips of wood on the backcut side of the tree to restrain the tree while the faller is at the base, and then uses a remotely operated hydraulic flange spreader to initiate falling. This paper found the optimal target length of the uncut strips was 7.5 cm, one uncut strip was just as effective as two, and that one uncut strip was much simpler for the faller to cut.

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.
