description: Given the increased recognition of the importance of spatial aggregation of infected individuals on disease spread, we used a field experiment to examine spore dispersal and disease transmission at increasing distances from an inoculum source in a well-studied system, the herbaceous plant Silene alba, infected by the anther-smut fungus Ustilago violacea. Two different life stages (vegetative and floral) were examined. We measured spore deposition on flowers and, as an analog of dispersal to vegetative plants, in small vials on the ground. Spore and disease gradients (number of spores or proportion of plants infected as a function of distance) were best fit with the classic power law, Y = aD-b. The slope parameter, b, was similar for spore dispersal gradients of vegetative (b = -2.38) and flowering plants (b = -1.91). However, at every distance measured, the proportion of flowers with spores was higher than the proportion of ground vials with spores, indicating overall higher relative spore dispersal to flowering plants. We also determined that disease gradients for flowering plants were more shallow (b-0.07) than spore dispersal gradients, and vegetative infection was more spatially restricted than floral infection (no infection beyond 3.2 m for vegetative plants while floral infection was detected up to 11.2 m). The relationship between spore dispersal and disease incidence was linear for vegetative plants and curvilinear for flowering plants, with limiting returns on disease after a low threshold number of spores deposited. Overall, our study suggests that the limited dispersal of spores is likely to be important in the aggregation of diseased plants in nature ; such aggregation of inoculum in turn can increase or decrease disease spread depending on how much inoculum is needed to cause infection.

Simulation of gating currents of the Shaker K channel using a Brownian model of the voltage sensor

description: The physical mechanism underlying the voltage-dependent gating of K channels is usually addressed theoretically using molecular dynamics simulations.However, besides being computationally very expensive, this approach is presently unable to fully predict the behavior of fundamental variables of channel gating, such as the macroscopic gating current.To fill this gap here we propose a voltage gating model that treats the S4 segment as a Brownian particle moving through a gating channel pore and adjacent internal and external vestibules.In our model charges on the S4 segment are screened by charged residues localized on the other segments of the channel protein, and by ions present in the vestibules, whose dynamics is assessed using a flux conservation equation. The electrostatic voltage spatial profile is consistently assessed by applying the Poisson equation to all the charges present in the system. The treatment of the S4 segment as a Brownian particle allows to alternatively describe the dynamics of a single S4 segment, using the Langevin stochastic differential equation, or the behavior of a population of S4 segments, useful to assess the macroscopic gating current, using the Fokker-Planck equation. The proposed model confirms the gating charge transfer hypothesis, with the movement of the S4 segment among 5 different stable positions where the gating charges differently interact with the negatively charged residues on the channel protein. This behavior results in macroscopic gating currents displaying properties quite similar to those experimentally found, including a very fast component followed by a slower one with an evident rising phase at high depolarizing voltages.

description: Neutron star observations, including direct mass and radius measurements as well as the analysis of gravitational wave signals emitted by stellar mergers, provide valuable and unique insights into the properties of strongly interacting matter at high densities. In this proceedings contribution, I review recent efforts to systematically constrain the equation of state (EoS) of dense nuclear and quark matter using a combination of ab initio particle and nuclear physics calculations and astrophysical data. In particular, I discuss the constraints that the gravitational wave observation GW170817 has placed on the EoS, and comment on the future prospects of improving the accuracy, to which this quantity is known.

description: Silence is versatile and it holds an immense power and a great source of strength. Understanding of silence is a heterogeneous phenomenon having many varieties. The movement of universe and the heart beat are a kind of perfect Rhythm of nature which is an universal time of perspective. The gap in between this heart beat (lup- tup) is silence which is a part of rhythm and it is a measured time. Music is a science of sound where silence is represented by rest markings that denote moments in which nothing is sung or played. In spirituality it is stillness both mind level and body level. Silence in communication happens when you do not use words. Rest or Silence is an inseparable part of any poem or musical composition. Music contains melody, harmony, timbre, pitch, silence and form of structure as its elements. Pauses or silences are already constructed and rendered as musical composition. The added dimension of pause enhances the music which are an integral component of many musical forms. Rhythmology is a science of sound with respect to sound beats or tala. Rhythm is measured in duration of the sound and silence. This kãrvai is a amalgamated form of markings like colon,semicolon, dots, sollukattu can produce wonderful rhythmic patterns which are expressed in dance in the form of Jathis and rhythmic phrases like mohras, furans and thirmanam in percussion instruments.

MUTUALISM AND CORAL PERSISTENCE: THE ROLE OF HERBIVORE RESISTANCE TO ALGAL CHEMICAL DEFENSE

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Because seaweeds uncontrolled by herbivores can overgrow and kill corals, competition can exclude corals from temperate latitudes where herbivores generally fail to control seaweed biomass. In this study, we show that the coral Oculina arbuscula persists on reefs in temperate North Carolina where seaweeds are common by harboring the omnivorous crab Mithrax forceps, which removes seaweeds and invertebrates growing on or near the coral. In the field, corals from which crabs are experimentally removed develop a dense cover of epibionts, exhibiting reduced growth and increased mortality relative to corals with crabs, which remain epibiont-free. This crab is unusual in that it readily consumes all local seaweeds in laboratory choice assays and is not deterred by chemical defenses that suppress feeding by local fishes, sea urchins, and other crabs. This allows Mithrax to defend corals from overgrowth by chemically noxious seaweeds like Dictyota and Sargassum that are avoided by most local herbivores. However, further field manipulations under reduced light conditions demonstrate that the outcome of the crab-coral interaction is context-dependent: crabs only benefit corals in well-lit areas where seaweeds are abundant. Field observations and tethering experiments show that, by living in association with Oculina, Mithrax gains a refuge from predation. Additionally, crabs grow faster when associated with live corals than with structurally equivalent dead corals, apparently because they are able to consume lipid-rich coral mucus. This mucus provides a dietary supplement that may help corals attract and retain low-mobility symbionts such as Mithrax, securing for the coral long-term and predictable protection against competitors. Structurally complex but competitively inferior organisms, like some corals and coralline algae, provide the biogenic habitat complexity upon which many other species depend. Because these sessile organisms may be dependent on symbionts to remove superior competitors, mutualisms can play an important, but currently underappreciated, role in structuring marine communities where biotic interactions are intense. In this study, the mutualism between Oculina and Mithrax promotes the persistence of both species in habitats from which they might otherwise be excluded by competition and predation.
REDUCING PREDATION THROUGH CHEMICALLY MEDIATED CAMOUFLAGE: INDIRECT EFFECTS OF PLANT DEFENSES ON HERBIVORES

description: Herbivores often specialize on particular hosts that provide both food and shelter from natural enemies. It is thus often unclear whether a plant's value as a food or its value as a safe shelter has played a larger role in selecting for specialization. Decorator crabs offer a novel opportunity to investigate the relative effects of diet vs. natural enemies in selecting for specialization because these crabs place plant shelter on their backs as camouflage but need not use these plants as food, thus decoupling the plant's value as a food from its value as a shelter. In this study, we show that juveniles of the decorator crab Libinia dubia selectively decorate with the chemically defended brown alga Dictyota menstrualis but treat this plant as a low-preference food. Common omnivorous fishes that are potential predators of Libinia avoid consuming Dictyota due to the alga's potent chemical defenses. In the field, juvenile crabs decorated with Dictyota experience significantly less predation than crabs decorated with an alga that is not chemically noxious to local fishes, and the Dictyota metabolite that most strongly deters feeding by fishes is the specific metabolite that determines decoration choice by this crab. Thus, by behaviorally sequestering defenses from this chemically noxious plant, these small crabs reduce their susceptibility to predation. In the presence of predators, juvenile crabs reduce their rate of feeding, but not of decorating, suggesting that antipredator behavior such as decorating takes precedence over feeding. In addition, only juvenile crabs that are of a size that can be consumed by local fishes decorate at all. Adult crabs that have carapace widths exceeding the gape size of co-occurring fishes do not decorate in either the field or the laboratory. Apparently predation, rather than diet selection, drives decoration specialization in Libinia, highlighting how indirect effects of plant secondary chemistry can impact herbivore behavior, ecology, and evolution.
Non-collinearity and spin frustration in the itinerant kagome ferromagnet Fe3Sn2

description: Frustrated itinerant ferromagnets, with non-collinear static spin structures, are an exciting class of material as their spin chirality can introduce a Berry phase in the electronic scattering and lead to exotic electronic phenomena such as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE). This study presents a reexamination of the magnetic properties of Fe$_3$Sn$_2$, a metallic ferromagnet, based on the 2-dimensional kagome bilayer structure. Previously thought of as a conventional ferromagnet, we show using a combination of SQUID measurements, symmetry analysis and powder neutron diffraction, that Fe$_3$Sn$_2$ is a frustrated ferromagnet with a temperature-dependent non-collinear spin structure. The complexity of the magnetic interactions is further evidenced by a re-entrant spin glass transition ($T_f\simeq80$\,K) at temperatures far below the main ferromagnetic transition ($T\mathrm{_C}$ = 640\,K). Fe$_3$Sn$_2$ therefore provides a rare example of a frustrated itinerant ferromagnet. Further, as well as being of great fundamental interest our studies highlight the potential of Fe$_3$Sn$_2$ for practical application in spintronics technology, as the AHE arising from the ferromagnetism in this material is expected to be enhanced by the coupling between the conduction electrons and the non-trivial magnetic structure over an exceptionally wide temperature range.

CAN QUANTITY REPLACE QUALITY? FOOD CHOICE, COMPENSATORY FEEDING, AND FITNESS OF MARINE MESOGRAZERS
Creators: name: Hay, Mark E.
name: Cruz-Rivera, Edwin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: Relationships among food choice, compensatory feeding, and the consequences for consumer fitness rarely have been quantified. We created foods of varying nutritional quality and evaluated the consequences of compensatory feeding for three sympatric species of amphipods by analyzing food choices, feeding rates, and long-term effects on fitness. Nutritional quality was manipulated by creating low-quality diets from algae (low in protein, nitrogen, and total organic carbon), high-quality diets from commercial fish food (high in protein, nitrogen, and total organic carbon), and intermediate-quality diets from mixtures of those two foods. When high- and low-quality diets were simultaneously offered, the more mobile, non-tube-building amphipods, Gammarus mucronatus and Elasmopus levis, both fed preferentially on the high-quality diet. The more sedentary, tube-building amphipod Ampithoe longimana did not discriminate between these foods. When confined to a single food type, all three species exhibited compensatory feeding on the low-quality diet. Despite compensatory feeding, when Elasmopus levis were cultured on the low-quality food, they experienced reduced survivorship, growth, and fecundity during two successive ovulations, compared to individuals feeding on more nutrient-rich foods. Low-nutrient foods caused similar declines in growth and female gonad size for Gammarus mucronatus. In contrast, the survivorship, growth, and fecundity of Ampithoe longimana was not affected by any of the diets tested. Thus, compensatory feeding allowed the more sedentary species, Ampithoe longimana, to completely circumvent the effects of low nutritional quality, but the same behavior was ineffective for both of the more mobile species, Gammarus mucronatus and Elasmopus levis. The ability of A. longimana to achieve equal fitness by substituting food quantity for food quality may allow this sedentary species to form longer associations with individual host plants, minimize movement among hosts, and thus lower its risk of being detected by predators.

description: Consider a discrete-time linear time-invariant descriptor system $Ex(k+1)=Ax(k)$ for $k \in \mathbb Z_{+}$. In this paper, we tackle for the first time the problem of stabilizing such systems by computing a nearby regular index one stable system $\hat E x(k+1)= \hat A x(k)$ with $\text{rank}(\hat E)=r$. We reformulate this highly nonconvex problem into an equivalent optimization problem with a relatively simple feasible set onto which it is easy to project. This allows us to employ a block coordinate descent method to obtain a nearby regular index one stable system. We illustrate the effectiveness of the algorithm on several examples.

GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION AMONG HERBIVORE POPULATIONS IN TOLERANCE FOR A CHEMICALLY RICH SEAWEED
Creators: name: Hay, Mark E.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Previous investigations have shown that the sedentary amphipod Ampithoe longimana escapes consumers by selectively living on and eating chemically defended seaweeds in the genus Dictyota. However, A. longimana and Dictyota overlap only in the southern portion of the amphipod's range; Dictyota is not available to amphipods from more northerly regions. We used this disjunction in distribution to test the hypothesis that A. longimana populations co-occurring with Dictyota would have greater tolerance for the seaweed's chemical defenses and would display higher feeding preference for, and fitness on, the seaweed than would more northerly populations. We also evaluated the genetic vs. phenotypic basis of these patterns and attempted to detect trade-offs between tolerance for Dictyota and ability to use other plants as foods. Such geographic studies of herbivory have been conducted using terrestrial insects, but few studies have focused on other herbivores, and this is especially true for marine systems. In multiple-choice feeding assays with both field-collected and laboratory-reared adults, a North Carolina population of A. longimana sympatric with Dictyota more readily fed on Dictyota and was more resistant to Dictyota's deterrent chemistry than was a Connecticut population from outside of Dictyota's geographic range. When raised on Dictyota menstrualis and D. ciliolata, A. longimana juveniles from North Carolina grew faster, matured faster, and produced more reproductive females than did Connecticut juveniles. The differential tolerance for Dictyota has a genetic basis, as it was maintained through two generations grown to maturity in a common environment. When several northern and southern populations were assayed, they displayed similar regional differences in feeding preferences. Though southern juveniles had higher fitness on Dictyota than northern juveniles, southern juveniles performed as well as northern juveniles when raised on seven other seaweeds, including seaweeds (e.g., Fucus vesiculosus and Sargassum filipendula) that produce secondary metabolites in a different class from those found in Dictyota. Thus, tolerating Dictyota did not incur detectable performance trade-offs when juveniles were confined to feeding on alternative seaweeds. Our results suggest that the evolution of host preferences may depend more on the host value as a refuge from enemies than on minimizing the costs of tolerating plant secondary metabolites.

description: We report the first quantum key distribution (QKD) systems capable of delivering sustainable, real-time secure keys continuously at rates exceeding 10 Mb/s. To achieve such rates, we developed high speed post-processing modules, achieving maximum data throughputs of 60 MC/s, 55 Mb/s, and 108 Mb/s for standalone operation of sifting, error correction and privacy amplification modules, respectively. The photonic layer of the QKD systems features high-speed single photon detectors based on self-differencing InGaAs avalanche photodiodes, phase encoding using asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and active stabilization of the interferometer phase and photon polarisation. An efficient variant of the decoy-state BB84 protocol is implemented for security analysis, with a large dataset size of $10^8$ bits selected to mitigate finite-size effects. Over a 2 dB channel, a record secure key rate of 13.72 Mb/s has been achieved averaged over 4.4 days of operation. We confirm the robustness and long-term stability on a second QKD system continuously running for 1 month without any user intervention.

description: We consider the scalar form factor in the weak current matrix element , P =π,η,η'. It obtains the contributions from the scalar meson resonance K^*_0(1430) and from the scalar projection of the vector meson K^*(892) resonance. We analyze decay amplitudes of the Cabibbo suppressed decays D->K P, P =π,η,η' using the factorization approach. The form factors of the relevant matrix elements are described by assuming the dominance of nearby resonances. The annihilation contribution in these decays arises from the matrix element . All the required parameters are experimentally known except the scalar meson K^*_0(1430) decay constant. We fit the decay amplitudes and we find that final state interaction improves the agreement with the experimental data. Then we extract bounds on scalar form factor parameters and compare them with the experimental data obtained in the analyses of K->πeν_e and K->πμν_μ. The same scalar form factor is present in the τ-> K P ν_τdecay, with P =π,η,η'. Using the obtained bounds we investigate the significance of the scalar meson form factor in the τ-> K P ν_τ, P = π, η, η' decay rates and spectra. We find that the K^*_0(1430) scalar meson dominates in the τ-> K η'ν_τdecay spectrum.

description: We present progress report of a CP-PACS calculation of quenched QCD spectrum with the Wilson quark action. Light hadron masses and meson decay constants are obtained at $β=$5.9, 6.1, and 6.25 on lattices with a physical extent of 3 fm, and for the range of quark mass corresponding to $m_π/m_ρ\approx 0.75$ $-$ 0.4. Nucleon mass at each $β$ appears to be a convex function of quark mass, and consequently the value at the physical quark mass is much smaller than previously thought. Hadron masses extrapolated to the continuum limit exhibits a significant deviation from experimental values: with $K$ meson mass to fix strange quark mass, strange meson and baryon masses are systematically lower. Light quark masses determined from the axial Ward identity are shown to agree with those from perturbation theory in the continuum limit. Decay constants of mesons are also discussed.

description: Texture specific quark mass matrices which are hermitian and hierarchical are examined in detail . In the case of texture 6 zeros matrices, out of sixteen possibilities examined by us, none is able to fit the low energy data (LED), for example, $V_{us} = 0.2196 \pm 0.0023$, $V_{cb} = 0.0395 \pm 0.0017$, $\frac{V_{ub}}{V_{cb}} = 0.08 \pm 0.02$, $V_{td}$ lies in the range $0.004 - 0.013$ (PDG). Similarly none of the 32 texture 5 zeros mass matrices considered is able to reproduce LED. In particular, the latest data from LEP regarding $|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}|(=0.093\pm0.016)$ rules out all of them. In the texture 4 zeros case, we find that there is a unique texture structure for $U$ and $D$ mass matrices which is able to fit the data.

description: We show that the time-dependence of electromagnetic field in a parametrically modulated cavity can be effectively analyzed using a $Floquet$ $map$. The map relates the field states separated by one period of the drive; iterative application of the map allows to determine field configuration after arbitrary number of drive periods. For resonant and near-resonant drives, the map has stable and unstable fixed points, which are the loci of infinite energy concentration in the long time limit. The Floquet map method can be applied both to classical and quantum massless field problems, including the dynamical Casimir effect. The stroboscopic time evolution implemented by the map can be interpreted in terms of the wave propagation in a curved space, with the fixed points of the map corresponding to the black hole and white hole horizons. More practically, the map can be used to design protocols for signal compression/decompression, cooling, and sensing.

description: Spin-polarization is known to lead to important {\it magnetic} and {\it optical} effects in open-shell atoms and elemental solids, but has rarely been implicated in controlling {\it structural} selectivity in compounds and alloys. Here we show that spin-polarized electronic structure calculations are crucial for predicting the correct $T=0$ crystal structures for Pd$_3X$ and Pt$_3X$ compounds. Spin-polarization leads to (i) stabilization of the $L1_2$ structure over the $DO_{22}$ structure in Pt$_3$Cr, Pd$_3$Cr, and Pd$_3$Mn, (ii) to the stabilization of the $DO_{22}$ structure over the $L1_2$ structure in Pd$_3$Co and to (iii) ordering (rather than phase-separation) in Pt$_3$Co and Pd$_3$Cr. The results are analyzed in terms of first-principles local spin density calculations.

description: Although peer code review is widely adopted in both commercial and open source development, existing studies suggest that such code reviews often contain a significant amount of non-useful review comments. Unfortunately, to date, no tools or techniques exist that can provide automatic support in improving those non-useful comments. In this paper, we first report a comparative study between useful and non-useful review comments where we contrast between them using their textual characteristics, and reviewers' experience. Then, based on the findings from the study, we develop RevHelper, a prediction model that can help the developers improve their code review comments through automatic prediction of their usefulness during review submission. Comparative study using 1,116 review comments suggested that useful comments share more vocabulary with the changed code, contain salient items like relevant code elements, and their reviewers are generally more experienced. Experiments using 1,482 review comments report that our model can predict comment usefulness with 66\% prediction accuracy which is promising. Comparison with three variants of a baseline model using a case study validates our empirical findings and demonstrates the potential of our model.

Asymptotic Likelihood-Based Prediction Functions

name: Cooley, Thomas F.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: This paper develops asymptotic prediction functions that approximate the shape of the density of future observations and correct for parameter uncertainty. The functions are based on extensions to a definition of predictive likelihood originally suggested by S. L. Lauritzen (1974) and D. Hinkley (1979). The prediction function is shown to possess efficiency properties based on the Kullback-Leibler measure of information loss. Examples of the application of the prediction function and the derivation of relative efficiency are shown for linear-normal models, nonnormal models, and ARCH models.

Matching the Gold Standard: Comparing Experimental and Nonexperimental Evaluation Techniques for a Geographically Targeted Program

description: Abstract We compare nonexperimental impact estimates based on matching methods with those from a randomized evaluation to determine whether the nonexperimental approach can “match” the so‐called gold standard. The social experiment we use was carried out to evaluate a geographically targeted conditional cash transfer antipoverty program in Nicaragua. The outcomes we assess include several components of household expenditure and a variety of children’s health outcomes, including breast‐feeding, vaccinations, and morbidity. We find that using each of the following improves performance of matching for these outcomes: (1) geographically proximate comparison samples, (2) stringent common support requirements, and (3) both geographic‐ and household‐level matching variables. Even for a geographically targeted program, in which the selection is at the geographic, rather than at the individual or household level, and in which it is not possible to find comparison individuals or households in the program locales, matching can perform reasonably well. The results also suggest that the techniques may be more promising for evaluating the more easily measured individual‐level binary outcomes than for outcomes that are more difficult to measure, such as expenditure.

description: [transcription] A Carcassonne 15 septembre 1777.
Monsieur,

à travers ce que vous avez cru devoir me dire de poli et d'obligeant sur le manuscrit que j'ai eu l'honneur de vous adresser au commencement du carême, j'entrevois que mes recherches sur Atticus ont eu fort peu de succès dans votre Académie. c'est un revers qui mortifie un peu mon amour-propre mais dont je me consolerais en faisant mieux une autrefois pour mériter, s'il m'est possible, les suffrages d'une compagnie aussi éclairée que respectable.

Je vous avais laissé maître de supprimer à la lecture tout ce que vous jugerez à propos et je souscris aux bonnes raisons qui vous engagent à ne point lire le morceau de la philosophie d'Atticus. Mais vous me permettrez de vous observer, sur ce que vous dites qu'épicure donnait par l'exclusion à la volupté des sens qu'on ne peut citer aucun trait de la vie d'Atticus qui montre qu'il ait professé ni pratiqué ce principe de la doctrine d'Epicure.

Vous avez rendu, Monsieur, un nouveau service aux gens de lettres et surtout à ceux du Languedoc en mettant en ordre la bibliothèque de feu M. le marquis d'Aubais. J'aurais bien désiré de savoir si ses héritiers la conservent ou s'ils sont résolus à la vendre. Y-a-t-il entre eux quelque homme de lettres à qui ce cabinet peut convenir ? Il serait triste qu'une collection qui est unique dans notre province fut dispersée et éparpillée.

J'espère que ma réponse vous trouvera encore à Nîmes. Si par événement vous [fol. 300 r] la recevez à Agde, je vous prie d'offrir l'hommage de mes respects au savant prélat qui m'honorait autrefois de ses bontés. J'ose vous prier aussi de m'avertir du temps où vous serez à Béziers. Je souhaiterais ardemment que vos arrangements vous permissent de pousser jusqu'ici; mais si c'est trop exiger de votre complaisance malgré les opérations de ma recette qui m'occupent beaucoup. Je ferai en sorte d'aller passer 24 heures à Béziers pour vous réitérer de vive voix, après quatre ans d'intervalle, l'amitié respectueuse et sincère avec laquelle j'aurai l'honneur d'être toujours,

Monsieur,

Votre très humble et très

obéissant serviteur

Roudil de Berriac

Il y a près d'un mois que j'ai perdu mon frère des suites d'une maladie de poitrine qui a été très longue et très douloureuse. Il reste aujourd'hui sur les quatre frères, moi, qui dans l'ordre naturel devait précéder tous les autres.

Spin-orbit interactions and chiroptical effects engaging orbital angular momentum of twisted light in chiral and achiral media

description: There is recurrent interest in the orbital angular momentum (OAM) conveyed by optical vortices, which are structured beams with a helically twisted wavefront. Particular significance is attached to the issue of how, in its interactions with matter, light conveying OAM might prove sensitive to the relative handedness and degree of twist in the associated optical wavefront. As a result of recent experimental and theoretical studies, the supposition that beams with OAM might enable discrimination between oppositely handed forms of matter has become a renewed focus of attention. Some of the tantalizing conclusions that are beginning to emerge from this research have, however, not yet established a definitive basis for a supporting mechanism. To resolve this problem requires the development of theory to support a faithful representation, and a thorough understanding, of the fundamental molecule-photon physics at play in such optical processes, even for processes as basic as absorption. The present analysis establishes mechanisms at play that entail a novel manifestation of optical spin-orbit interactions (SOI), engaging transition electric quadrupole moments. Moreover, powerful symmetry principles prove to render distinctively different criteria governing the exhibition of 2D and 3D chirality. The new results elucidate the operation of such effects, identifying their responsibility for discriminatory optical interactions of various forms in both chiral and achiral media.
