Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With ninety-five million inhabitants, Mexico became the United States' second largest trading partner, following only Canada. 1 Nearly $250 billion in trade moves across the border annually, a 191% increase in the decade following the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 2 In NAFTA's first decade, truck traffic across the U.S.-Mexico border increased approximately 400%.3By 2000, trucks were responsible for transporting an estimated 75% of the goods moved between the two nations.4 Five million trucks cross the U.S.-Mexican border each year.5 A number of legal and regulatory barriers limit operations by Mexican bus and trucking companies within the United States.With the exception of cross-border transportation of passengers in charter and tour bus service, operations have historically been limited to the commercial zones (defined as a zones extending from three to twenty miles of a community's limits, depending upon population) of U.S.

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.
