Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

SYNOPSIS Following several highly publicised events that resulted in loss of life at dams, the Canadian Dam Association, in 1995, embarked on an ambitious effort to develop a set of guidelines to assist dam owners and operators in understanding the principles of dam safety and the process and management of these principles to protect the public, not only from a dam failure, but from injury and/or death due to the public’s close proximity to these facilities. This paper will focus on the implementation of a public safety program at several of BC Hydro’s dams in western Canada in 2013 and efforts undertaken to minimize risk to the public of hazards upstream and in the tailrace and spillway areas of a dam. Working together with BC Hydro, Revelstoke Design Services Limited conducted detailed site assessments followed by recommendations for the installation of public safety control measures in critically hazardous areas.

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.
