Correlation of Mechanical and Hydration Properties of Soft Phytoglycogen Nanoparticles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Phytoglycogen nanoparticles are highly branched polymers of anhydroglucose units (AGUs) produced as soft, compact nanoparticles by sweet corn. By combining results of dialysis, ellipsometry and gravimetric analysis experiments, we constructed a master plot of the osmotic pressure Π -concentration C data for phytoglycogen nanoparticles that spans the complete range ∼ 0% w/w C ∼ 100 % w/w. The distinctive shape of the Π C curve for phytoglycogen differs significantly from that of dextran, a lightly branched polysaccharide also made up of AGUs but not in the form of particles, especially near concentrations corresponding to contact between the nanoparticles. By calculating the dependence of the osmotic pressure on the volume per particle, we determined the increase in the bulk modulus of the particles with decreasing particle volume due to removal of water from the particles upon compression. This approach allowed us to quantify the strong correlation between the mechanical and hydration properties of phytoglycogen nanoparticles.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
