Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cleaning indoor air can significantly reduce the spread of airborne diseases in public spaces, and is recommended under American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Standard 241. We publish a public domain design for a hyper-efficient, near-silent, sturdy, repairable, easy to maintain, inexpensive and attractive portable air cleaner we name the DeisBox [deɪ-ɪs-bɒks] that can be mass produced and deployed by institutions managing shared indoor spaces like schools, offices and venues. Its efficiency is approximately twice or more that of comparable commercial units and it uses nonproprietary filters. We urge institutions to invest in the development and deployment of these air cleaners as low-hanging fruit with high modeled economic benefits in the prevention of disease and pursuit of public health.

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.
