Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Leachate was generated when precipitation percolated through a pile of woodwaste, including trimmings, off-specification wood chips, shredded bark and roots, and sawdust from several cedar processing mills. The “young” woodwaste leachate produced in the pile's placement period was amber, acidic (pH 3.4–3.7), nutrient-poor (inorganic nitrogen 1.4–3.2 mg L-1, orthophosphate 3.3–4.3 mg P L-1), of very high oxygen demand (chemical oxygen demand 12,559–14,254 mg L-1, tannin and lignin 3066–5150 mg L-1 as tannic acid, volatile fatty acids 1564–2132 mg L-1), and very toxic to aquatic life (96-h median lethal concentration of 0.74% leachate). The leachate at 1.5 years old in the closure period had lower oxygen demand and higher ammonia, and became less acidic and darker. The leachate had a 5-day biochemical oxygen demand to chemical oxygen demand ratio of 0.33 in the placement period and 0.14 in the late closure period. Volatile fatty acids accounted for 6 to 34% chemical oxygen demand, varying as the pile developed and with woodwaste age. Tannin and lignin accounted for 33 to 45% chemical oxygen demand. More than 98% contaminants were in dissolved form. The monthly variation of leachate quality was likely a result of both temperature and precipitation. pH was significantly correlated to chemical oxygen demand, tannin and lignin, and volatile fatty acids.

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.
