Abstract
Ultrasonic pulse velocity method is widely used to evaluate the quality of concrete. However, it has never been used to evaluate properties of oil sand tailings, which have poor consolidation properties, leading to continuous accumulation of tailings ponds, affecting the process of reclamation. The objective of this paper is to assess whether the UPV method can be an on-site measurement application in the oil sand tailings to make a rapid evaluation of tailings' properties over time. Equipment is calibrated, verified, and used to capture P-waves and S-waves when the waves interact with the column filled with flocculated fluid fine tailings. To increase reliability of the UPV test, special "holders" were designed to improve stabilization of transducers. Inferred wave velocities and changes in wave attenuation determined from p-wave data showed correlations with expected changes in density in the column; data using s-wave or p-wave-s-wave combinations did not show useful trends.

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
