Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Institut Rambla Prim, in collaboration with the Institut-Escola del Treball of Barcelona, conducted a study on marine microplastics present in the seawater along the coast of Tarragona (Balearic Sea, Western Mediterranean), specifically in the towns of l'Ampolla and Altafulla, as well as in the sand of Altafulla beach. The study involved collecting water samples using the passive filtering prototype SB-Buoy, analyzing them in the laboratory, and manually sieving the beach sand, as a citizen science project conducted by students and teachers from professional degrees. The concentrations observed varied considerably depending on the sampling locations and periods. Significant preliminary results should be highlighted: tiny microplastics dominate the samples from seawater (Ø < 3 mm), and plastic pellets in the sand accounted for 52% of the anthropogenic waste by weight in the sampling area.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
