Abstract
Members of the genus Salix, more commonly known as willows, are of great interest in the field of phytoremediation. Their ability to rapidly accumulate biomass, grow in disturbed conditions, aggressively seek water and development of extensive root systems are well documented – all highly desirable traits for phytoremediation, yet the remediation capabilities of most species remains unknown. The present study seeks to determine the ability of Salix discolor to remediate lead and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) – two of the most common pollutants in urban and industrial areas and which are often found in states of co-contamination. The ability of S. discolor to remove these contaminants from aqueous media was tested using a hydroponic experiment. The treatments consisted of an uncontaminated control, lead or PAH contamination and lead and PAH co-contamination. The concentration of the media was monitored weekly, and at the conclusion of the experiment the accumulation of the lead and PAHs in the roots, shoots and leaves of the plants will be analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry and gas chromatography – mass spectrometry, respectively. Additionally, biomass accumulation will be recorded to determine the effects of contamination on the growth of the plants. Results are pending until the experiment has concluded. *Indicates faculty mentor.

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
