Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A new portable recycling plant can extend the potential uses of expanded asphalt by creating a more consistent base mix that a paver can lay instead of having to be placed by a motor grader. The new process and machinery debuted in Ontario last summer. By being able to lay expanded asphalt with a paver, construction can extend longer into the cold weather season. Traditional emulsion-based stabilization mixtures cure through evaporation, which rules out their use when the temperature drops below 60 degrees F. By contrast expanded asphalt cures on compaction. In Ontario that adds another two months to the construction season. The machine developed for the process allows precise control in sizing and placing material, which produce smoother mats, more consistent finish and reduces the amount of handling needed. Other elements of the new process are also described, with contact info for the manufacturer.

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.
