Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

optimizations achieved velocity profile uniformity with coefficients of variance of 0.89% and 0.86% for the spine- and leaf-inspired designs, respectively. However, simulations revealed that velocity uniformity alone is insufficient for accurate molecular capture prediction without consistent reaction site channel dimensions. The bio-inspired designs demonstrated superior performance, stabilizing-coefficient of variance below 20%-in DNA capture within 10 minutes, compared to 68 minutes for a simple branched design. This work underscores the potential of bio-inspired microfluidics to enable scalable, uniform, and high-performance systems for multi-analyte detection.

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.

Not 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.
