Abstract
In the Port of Santa Bárbara de Samana, chemical residues, organic matter and heavy metals from domestic activities are deposited together in the waters and sediments. The analysis of the sediments by X-ray fluorescence of four extracted and sectioned cores showed that concentrations of trace metals such as Nickel, Chromium, Lead and Mercury were present at various depths, exceeding Limits of Toxicity (PEL) for marine sediments according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME). Cadmium presented values above the toxicity threshold (TEL) in its minimum values and in its maximum values they exceeded the PEL value. While the Zinc and Copper values were low in all sections and lower than TEL. The analysis of the loss by ignition and the dating with lead 210 due to excess of the C4 core, showed a sudden change in the organic matter content and sedimentation rate. The superficial sediments show that unlike the deeper ones, the heavy metal content is lower, as well as that they do not represent a risk to the ecosystem by not exceeding toxicity levels.

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
