aboutThe title or abstract carries a Canadian signal from the geographic lexicon.
no affNo Canadian affiliation: this work is invisible to an affiliation-only frame.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame, the usual design, would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide This study was conducted to examine the impacts of pre-harvest field sprouting (PHS) on wheat end-use functionality of bread wheat Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and durum wheat Canada Western Amber Durum (CWAD). PHS affected CWRS and CWAD differently in milling performance, dough rheological properties, and final product quality. With decreasing Falling Number (FN), key quality attributes of CWAD remained mostly unchanged but CWRS quality progressively decreased, especially when FN dropped below 200 s. Both CWRS and CWAD showed signs of in situ starch hydrolysis in field-sprouted kernels with more damage apparent in CWRS as greater maltose levels were found in flour than in semolina. Analysis of gluten fractions in flour or semolina indicated that protein composition was not affected by PHS. Unlike pasta-making, which involves low water-absorption, short mixing time, and high-temperature drying, the combination of high water absorption, lower temperature, and long fermentation times magnify the detrimental effects of excessive α-amylase on the bread-making performance of CWRS.

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.
