Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The study focuses on a large gravel pit located adjacent to the Santa Cruz River between the confluences with the Rillito and Canada del Oro rivers in Tucson, Arizona. These gravel pits are large with depths on the order of 100 feet and are immediately adjacent to the surrounding streams. The berms along the pits are not protected and would be subject to erosion due to the flows in the rivers. Different failure scenarios were considered and the locations of possible pitwall failures were identified. The various factors influencing the headcut distance were identified and the methodology previously developed for headcut analysis of in-stream gravel pits were modified to account for the near channel pit. While the width of the pit is one of the major significant factors for the in-stream pits, the use of the pit width vs the channel width can lead to widely varying answers. Another important factor is the time of failure with respect to the flow hydrograph of the event. Methodology and results of the analysis will be presented.

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.
