Abstract
Joseph M. Muchowski, 85, died Oct. 2, 2022, in Temecula, California. “Joe simultaneously had careers in academia and industry. He spent 25 years directing research at Syntex in Mexico City and Palo Alto, California. His expertise in heterocyclic chemistry led to the nonopioid analgesic Toradol. Syntex chemists and postdocs enjoyed his enthusiasm for basic research and his wry sense of humor, as did students at two universities in Mexico City. His work resulted in 60 US patents and 150 publications. His outside interests included travel, tennis, golf, gardening, fishing, and fine wines. On the tennis court, Syntex consultant Gilbert Stork joked that he would only play if Joe played left-handed.”—Robin Clark, colleague Most recent title: Resident consultant, Roche Bioscience Education: BSc, chemistry, University of Saskatchewan, 1958; MSc, chemistry, University of Saskatchewan, 1959; PhD, chemistry, University of Ottawa, 1962 Survivors: Wife, Judy; daughters, Karen and Diana; son, Paul; eight grandchildren To

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.
