Abstract
Herbert Morawetz, 102, died on Oct. 29, 2017, in New York City. “A man of broad intellectual interests, Herbert spent his professional career as an influential professor of polymer chemistry at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now the NYU Tandon School of Engineering). He was born in 1915 in Prague. His training to work in the family textile business was disrupted by the German invasion in 1938. He fled Czechoslovakia in 1939, settling with his family in Toronto. He joined the faculty of Brooklyn Poly in 1951, becoming director of the Polymer Research Institute in 1971. He used fluorescence spectroscopy to study local conformational transitions and polymer compatibility. He wrote two books, ‘Macromolecules in Solution’ and ‘Polymers: The Origins and Growth of a Science,’ and received the ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry in 1986. Following retirement, he served as associate editor for the ACS journal Macromolecules for 15 years. Contributions

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
