Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A process employing extrusion was used to produce multicore microcapsules composed of multiple beads. The inner beads were made from κ-carrageenan (κ-c), a thermo-responsive linear sulphated polymer whose gelling temperature ranges at 40-60 °C, depending on the concentration of κ-c polymer and the amount of potassium chloride used for gelation. The resulting beads were then enveloped by chitosan through gelation with sodium triphosphate. The pesticide ammonium glufosinate was encapsulated in the κ-c/chitosan multicore microcapsules for demonstration of controlled release of the encapsulant. It was found that in response to an external stimulus, such as elevated temperature or solar simulation, the microcapsules exhibit the gradual release of encapsulated pesticide molecules from multicore microcapsules, compared with beads only. This process of making multicore microcapsules can be extended to other polymer pairs based on applications. This work is relevant to agriculture, where the controlled-release of the pesticides or fertilizers could be triggered by the sun and/or temperature changes, thus extending the residual period of the chemicals as well as decreasing the extent of pollution by leaching of abundant chemicals.

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.
