Abstract
Asphalt pavements release their absorbed heat, exacerbating an urban issue called urban heat island (UHI). In this study, the base course and the interface of the asphalt mixture and the base course were modified with steel slag aggregates (33, 66, and 100%) and a conductive prime coat (40% steel slag powder) to mitigate this issue. The heat transfer rates of developed specimens were then investigated using a solar simulation setup. The thermal properties of these specimens were also measured using a C-Therm device, developing a numerical model using ANSYS Fluent software and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) algorithms. The base courses containing 66% steel slag aggregates and the conductive prime coat showed the best performance. These structures decreased the pavement surface temperature by 13% and nighttime outgoing heat by 38% and 33%, respectively. The air temperature near the surface of these pavement structures was also reduced by 14%.

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 it
