Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in cattle which can be either classical BSE (C-BSE) or atypical BSE (including H-BSE and L-BSE). Here, we report the results of our analyses of an H-BSE case found in Canada in 2021, indicating restriction of the pathological agent (PrPSc) mainly to the central nervous system with no or occasional weak involvement of peripheral tissues. Importantly, a non-synonymous mutation at codon 211 of the PRNP gene was detected and confirmed to be present as a germline mutation. This is the first case of BSE in Canada with a predisposing E211K mutation.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
