Abstract
Voles, shrews and aquatic plants from the Thunder Bay Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) and hatchery–reared ducks, released and recaptured four and 10 weeks after release, were analysed for heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Metal concentrations in duck livers were comparable to our control site values and other reported studies. Metal concentrations in voles and shrews were similar to our control site values or other reported studies. Bioaccumulation of priority PCB congeners was observed in waterfowl muscle samples. Extrapolating our data to other Canadian CDFs in the Great Lakes, waterfowl at the Hamilton Harbour CDF would accumulate PCBs to concentrations greater than the USFDA poultry consumption guideline. Shrews bioaccumulated PCBs to concentrations 10 times higher than voles presumably due the dietary differences between the two species. PCBs concentrations in voles from the Thunder Bay CDF were approximately twice the control site concentrations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
