- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Buruli ulcer (BU) is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection of subcutaneous tissue with Mycobacterium ulcerans. BU is commonly reported across rural regions of Central and West Africa but has been increasing dramatically in temperate southeast Australia around the major metropolitan city of Melbourne, with most disease transmission occurring in the summer months. Previous research has shown that Australian native possums are reservoirs of M. ulcerans and that they shed the bacteria in their fecal material (excreta). Field surveys show that locales where possums harbor M. ulcerans overlap with human cases of BU, raising the possibility of using possum excreta surveys to predict the risk of disease occurrence in humans. METHODS: We thus established a highly structured 12 month possum excreta surveillance program across an area of 350 km2 in the Mornington Peninsula area 70 km south of Melbourne, Australia. The primary objective of our study was to assess using statistical modeling if M. ulcerans surveillance of possum excreta provided useful information for predicting future human BU case locations. RESULTS: Over two sampling campaigns in summer and winter, we collected 2,282 possum excreta specimens of which 11% were PCR positive for M. ulcerans-specific DNA. Using the spatial scanning statistical tool SaTScan, we observed non-random, co-correlated clustering of both M. ulcerans positive possum excreta and human BU cases. We next trained a statistical model with the Mornington Peninsula excreta survey data to predict the future likelihood of human BU cases occurring in the region. By observing where human BU cases subsequently occurred, we show that the excreta model performance was superior to a null model trained using the previous year's human BU case incidence data (AUC 0.66 vs 0.55). We then used data unseen by the excreta-informed model from a new survey of 661 possum excreta specimens in Geelong, a geographically separate BU endemic area

- Abstract
Bats have been implicated as the reservoir hosts of filoviruses in Africa, with serological evidence of filoviruses in various bat species identified in other countries. Here, serum samples from 190 bats, comprising 12 different species, collected in Australia were evaluated for filovirus antibodies. An in-house indirect microsphere assay to detect antibodies that cross-react with Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus; EBOV) nucleoprotein (NP) followed by an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) were used to confirm immunoreactivity to EBOV and Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus; RESTV). We found 27 of 102 Yinpterochiroptera and 19 of 88 Yangochiroptera samples were positive to EBOV NP in the microsphere assay. Further testing of these NP positive samples by IFA revealed nine bat sera that showed binding to ebolavirus-infected cells. This is the first report of filovirus-reactive antibodies detected in Australian bat species and suggests that novel filoviruses may be circulating in Australian bats.

- Abstract
In recent years reported cases of Buruli ulcer, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, have increased substantially in Victoria, Australia, with the epidemic also expanding geographically. To develop an understanding of how M. ulcerans circulates in the environment and transmits to humans we analyzed environmental samples collected from 115 properties of recent Buruli ulcer cases and from 115 postcode-matched control properties, for the presence of M. ulcerans. Environmental factors associated with increased odds of M. ulcerans presence at a property included certain native plant species and native vegetation in general, more alkaline soil, lower altitude, the presence of common ringtail possums (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) and overhead powerlines. However, only overhead powerlines and the absence of the native plant Melaleuca lanceolata were associated with Buruli ulcer case properties. Samples positive for M. ulcerans were more likely to be found at case properties and were associated with detections of M. ulcerans in ringtail possum feces, supporting the hypothesis that M. ulcerans is zoonotic, with ringtail possums the strongest reservoir host candidate. However, the disparity in environmental risk factors associated with M. ulcerans positive properties versus case properties indicates the involvement of human behavior or the influence of other environmental factors in disease acquisition that requires further study.

PURPOSE As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating hospitals included patients from local emergence of SARS-CoV-2 until April 19, 2020. At the time of surgery, hospitals were defined as having a COVID-19–free surgical pathway (complete segregation of the operating theater, critical care, and inpatient ward areas) or no defined pathway (incomplete or no segregation, areas shared with patients with COVID-19). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, unexpected ventilation). RESULTS Of 9,171 patients from 447 hospitals in 55 countries, 2,481 were operated on in COVID-19–free surgical pathways. Patients who underwent surgery within COVID-19–free surgical pathways were younger with fewer comorbidities than those in hospitals with no defined pathway but with similar proportions of major surgery. After adjustment, pulmonary complication rates were lower with COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.2% v 4.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.86). This was consistent in sensitivity analyses for low-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1/2), propensity score–matched models, and patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 preoperative tests. The postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was also lower in COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.1% v 3.6%; aOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.76). CONCLUSION Within available resources, dedicated COVID-19–free surgical pathways should be established to provide safe elective cancer surgery during current and before future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks.

- Abstract
Background: Over 1000 horses are investigated annually for Hendra virus (HeV)-like illness, of which very few (<1%) test HeV positive. In Australia, in addition to HeV, other zoonotic viruses have affected horses including Australian bat lyssavirus, West Nile Virus (Kunjin), Murray Valley encephalitis virus and Ross River virus. In 1997, Menangle virus (MenPV), family Paramyxovirus, genus Rubulavirus, caused severe reproductive failure in pigs and influenza-like illness with rash in two piggery staff. MenPV has been isolated from Australian flying fox urine along with novel related rubulaviruses and HeV. We describe evidence of natural exposure to bat-borne rubulaviruses in Australian horses as well as seroconversion suggesting causality of severe respiratory illness. Methods and materials: Three-hundred-and-seventy-four horses were tested by a multiplex microsphere-based immunoassay (MIA) for IgG against MenPV nucleocapsid (N) protein and a subset also against Tioman virus (TioPV) N protein and MenPV hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein. Confirmatory testing comprised immunofluorescence assay (IFA) on Vero cells infected with MenPV and related rubulaviruses. Results: Median fluorescence intensities (MFI) against MenPV N and a prior prevalence estimate of 20% were used in a Bayesian latent class model to determine appropriate cut-offs for positive test classification. Assay sensitivity was estimated assuming a specificity of both 95% and 99%. MFI reflecting potentially significant IgG to MenPV N protein was demonstrated in 34% (94/274) of horses with high perceived flying fox exposure (29% in QLD and 32% in NSW) whereas horses without plausible exposure recorded insignificant MFI. IFA confirmed antibodies to three of five related flying fox rubulaviruses tested (MenPV, Yeppoon virus and Grove virus). Case presentations: Two young-adult geldings developed severe acute respiratory illness in 2016 featuring obtunded demeanour, tachypnoea, tachycardia, congested/ hy

- Abstract
The respiratory Influenza A Viruses (IAVs) and emerging zoonotic viruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pose a significant threat to human health. To accelerate our understanding of the host-pathogen response to respiratory viruses, the use of more complex in vitro systems such as normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cell culture models has gained prominence as an alternative to animal models. NHBE cells were differentiated under air-liquid interface (ALI) conditions to form an in vitro pseudostratified epithelium. The responses of well-differentiated (wd) NHBE cells were examined following infection with the 2009 pandemic Influenza A/H1N1pdm09 strain or following challenge with the dsRNA mimic, poly(I:C). At 30 h postinfection with H1N1pdm09, the integrity of the airway epithelium was severely impaired and apical junction complex damage was exhibited by the disassembly of zona occludens-1 (ZO-1) from the cell cytoskeleton. wdNHBE cells produced an innate immune response to IAV-infection with increased transcription of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and the antiviral viperin but reduced expression of the mucin-encoding MUC5B, which may impair mucociliary clearance. Poly(I:C) produced similar responses to IAV, with the exception of MUC5B expression which was more than 3-fold higher than for control cells. This study demonstrates that wdNHBE cells are an appropriate ex-vivo model system to investigate the pathogenesis of respiratory viruses.

The performance of a fiber-optic laser beam delivery system strongly depends on the fiber and the optics used to image the fiber face on the workpiece. We have compared off-the-shelf homogenous (BK7) and GRADIUM (axial-gradient) singlets to determine what improvement the GRADIUM offers in practice to the typical laser user. The realized benefit for this application, although significant, is much smaller than would be realized by a conventional imaging application. The figure of merit for laser-based materials processing is the 86% energy-enclosure radius, which is not directly supported by commercial ray-tracing software. Therefore empirical rules of thumb are presented to understand when GRADIUM (or any other well-corrected optics) will yield meaningful improvements to the beam delivery system. Key words: Axial-gradient lenses, GRADIUM, Nd:YAG, BK7, optical fibers, beam diagnostics.

- Abstract
Bats are known reservoirs of a wide variety of viruses that rarely result in overt clinical disease in the bat host. However, anthropogenic influences on the landscape and climate can change species assemblages and interactions, as well as undermine host-resilience. The cumulative result is a disturbance of bat–pathogen dynamics, which facilitate spillover events to sympatric species, and may threaten bat communities already facing synergistic stressors through ecological change. Therefore, characterisation of viral pathogens in bat communities provides important basal information to monitor and predict the emergence of diseases relevant to conservation and public health. This study used targeted molecular techniques, serological assays and next generation sequencing to characterise adenoviruses, coronaviruses and paramyxoviruses from 11 species of insectivorous bats within the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia. Phylogenetic analysis indicated complex ecological interactions including virus–host associations, cross-species infections, and multiple viral strains circulating concurrently within selected bat populations. Additionally, we describe the entire coding sequences for five alphacoronaviruses (representing four putative new species), and one novel adenovirus. Results indicate that viral burden (both prevalence and richness) is not homogeneous among species, with Chalinolobus gouldii identified as a key epidemiological element within the studied communities.

- Abstract
Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) is a known causative agent of neurological disease in bats, humans and horses. It has been isolated from four species of pteropid bats and a single microbat species (Saccolaimus flaviventris). To date, ABLV surveillance has primarily been passive, with active surveillance concentrating on eastern and northern Australian bat populations. As a result, there is scant regional ABLV information for large areas of the country. To better inform the local public health risks associated with human-bat interactions, this study describes the lyssavirus prevalence in microbat communities in the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia. We used targeted real-time PCR assays to detect viral RNA shedding in 839 oral swabs representing 12 species of microbats, which were sampled over two consecutive summers spanning 2016–2018. Additionally, we tested 649 serum samples via Luminex® assay for reactivity to lyssavirus antigens. Active lyssavirus infection was not detected in any of the samples. Lyssavirus antibodies were detected in 19 individuals across six species, with a crude prevalence of 2.9% (95% CI: 1.8–4.5%) over the two years. In addition, we present the first records of lyssavirus exposure in two Nyctophilus species, and Falsistrellus mackenziei.

We report the first experimental demonstration of cavity-induced resonances that occur without total internal reflection. We obtained these resonances by observing the fluorescence spectrum from the molecules enclosed within a small, lossy capillary of the type used for capillary zone electrophoresis. Even with weak reflections from the capillary inner walls, enough feedback exists to superimpose resonances on the otherwise smooth fluorescence spectrum. These resonances, commonly called morphology-dependent resonances or whispering-gallery modes, have typically been observed only in cavities in which total internal reflection is present.

We studied the angular distribution of fluorescence from a small, lossy capillary filled with a laser-dye solution. We found that the fluorescence is isotropic for the liquid core and that, far from the liquid-solid phase transition, this isotropy shows no temperature dependence. This result, an extension of studies with solid cylinders, is at variance with theoretical expectations for solids as well as with previous reports by other investigators but is explained by the motion of the molecules in the liquid. Therefore the optimal viewing angle for capillary zone electrophoresis experiments is near 90 [degrees] because the elastic scattering of the incident laser light is at or near a minimum for these small capillaries. This reduces contamination of the fluorescence signal as a result of stray laser light in the optical system. Key words: Capillary zone electrophoresis, fluorescence, capillary, cylinder, angular-spatial structure.

Differential Excitation Spectroscopy (DES) is a new pump-probe detection technique (patent-pending) which characterizes molecules based on a multi-dimensional parameterization of the rovibrational excited state structure, pump and probe interrogation frequencies, as well as the lifetimes of the excited states. Under appropriate conditions, significant modulation of the ground state can result. DES results provide a unique, simple mechanism to probe various molecules. In addition, the DES multi-dimensional parameterization provides an identification signature that is highly unique and has demonstrated high levels of immunity from interferents, providing significant practical value for highspecificity material identification. Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) is used as a simulant for G series nerve agents and thiodiglycol as a simulant for sulfur mustard (HD). Ab initio calculations were performed on DMMP for various rovibrational states up to J’ ≤ 3 and validated experimentally, demonstrating good agreement between theory and experiment and the very specific responses generated. Thiodiglycol was investigated empirically. Optimal detection parameters were determined and mixtures of the two materials were used to demonstrate the immunity of the DES technique to interference from other materials, even those whose IR spectra show significant overlap.

The authors address the mitigation of sub-surface crack propagation in railroad rails via laser surface modification. The goal is to reduce the shear forces from rail-wheel friction, which contribute significantly to the nucleation and propagation of cracks in the sub-surface region at rail gage corners. Microhardness scans and tensile tests were performed on samples from cross-sections of unused and heavily used rail heads. The results of these tests indicate that the severe cyclic plastic deformation that occurs at the gage corners, during service, significantly hardens the sub-surface region there, which leads to cracking. Laser glazing, the rapid melting and rapid solidification of a thin surface layer, was used to reduce the friction coefficient of rail steel. The advantages of this process are that specific regions of the rail surface can be targeted; the treatment does not wash away as the currently used liquid lubricants do; it is more environmentally sound than liquid lubricants; and it can be applied in service, during re-work or during rail fabrication. A number of laser treatments were conducted on AISI 1080 steel plates, similar to rail steel, from which friction samples were extracted. Static block-on-ring friction experiments performed on a variety of laser treated surfaces showed reductions in the friction coefficient by about 25% relative to untreated surfaces at loads corresponding to prototypic rail service loads. The authors laser-glazed two areas on the top surface of a 6-ft length of rail with multiple pass treatments, one with adjacent passes overlapping, and one with adjacent passes separated by 1 mm. Friction measurements were made after they were subjected to 20,000 run-in cycles. The laser treatments remained intact after these cycles. Reductions of friction coefficient of ca. 40%, relative to untreated surfaces, were observed, corresponding to a reduction in the calculated mixed mode crack propagation rate by ca. 79%.

Fiber‐optic beam delivery is commonly used in industrial laser systems. This article examines the conditions for the optimal propagation of high power beams through optical fibers. Beam quality effects by step and gradient index fibers of different lengths are considered. The differences between the diverging beam from a fiber and the beam at focus and on the fiber face are illustrated. Estimates are provided of the worst‐case beam quality to be expected from fibers. Guidelines are also provided for the selection of beam delivery components based on the limitations of the optical system and the tasks to be performed.

A complete, intact early Roman inkwell recovered in excavations at ancient Shiloh adds to the limited number of inkwells known from the period. The ceramic item is somewhat small and poorly made, but its apparently handmade, inverted trapezoidal shape is unique among extant early Roman inkwells from Judea and adds a relatively small site to the list of places where inkwells have appeared.

We report the first experimental demonstration of cavity-induced resonances that occur without total internal reflection. We obtained these resonances by observing the fluorescence spectrum from the molecules enclosed within a small, lossy capillary of the type used for capillary zone electrophoresis. Even with weak reflections from the capillary inner walls, enough feedback exists to superimpose resonances on the otherwise smooth fluorescence spectrum. These resonances, commonly called morphologydependent resonances or whispering-gallery modes, have typically been observed only in cavities in which total internal reflection is present.

We studied the angular distribution of fluorescence from a small, lossy capillary filled with a laser-dye solution. We found that the fluorescence is isotropic for the liquid core and that, far from the liquid–solid phase transition, this isotropy shows no temperature dependence. This result, an extension of studies with solid cylinders, is at variance with theoretical expectations for solids as well as with previous reports by other investigators but is explained by the motion of the molecules in the liquid. Therefore the optimal viewing angle for capillary zone electrophoresis experiments is near 90° because the elastic scattering of the incident laser light is at or near a minimum for these small capillaries. This reduces contamination of the fluorescence signal as a result of stray laser light in the optical system.

Bi-AGRIN cemented doublets, super corrected for zero axial color, spherical aberration and sphero-chromatism can show polychromatic performance in the range of 0.004 waves PV or better at the red and blue wavelengths for speeds up to F/2. These doublets are comprised of two elements of axial gradient index glass. The crown and flint elements are each designed with separate and distinct gradient glass lines, giving each element an axial gradient in refractive index and dispersion. This paper examines one design and its performance sensitivity to dispersion modeling via the Buchdahl and Sellmeier dispersion equations.

Last year we presented the first experimental measurements of the dispersion in GRADIUMTM glasses. These measurements provided a glimpse into the materials properties that had previously been approximated. Unfortunately, although these valuable measurements provided broad spectrum information about the material, these measurements did not provide the precision required for many white-light applications. Furthermore, it was clear last year that the modeling must be improved because of the need to accurately model the material over the natural transmission window of the glass. Therefore, LightPath has undertaken a program to provide improved experimental characterization of current and new GRADIUM materials as well as improved modeling. Experimental data will be available soon. We will therefore evaluate the accuracy and limits of dispersion modeling using the modified Sellmeier approach. We will also present some empirical guidelines for the number of coefficients required for high-precision, wide spectral band modeling.© (1998) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

LightPath has continued efforts to improve the range of uses for GRADIUMTM glass. New glass lines as well as new geometries have been demonstrated. LightPath continues to work with software vendors to improve ease-of-use. At the 1998 CLEO, a lab sample of a transverse gradient (a.k.a. `biaxial') was shown. New products are expected soon. Laboratory work has demonstrated the viability of other glass families. A GTi (GRADIUM Titania) family has been developed as well as a GSI (GRADIUM Spectrally Invariant) material, based on US Patent #5,689,374, also for use as an achromatic transverse gradient. The new GLaK glass line has one existing profile currently ready and will be publicly released this summer. Considerable efforts have also been made at improving the characterization of GRADIUM glasses, including more accurate profile measurements and investigations of appropriate techniques for modeling the dispersion. The improved accuracy is required for apochromatic systems. Finally, as a part of the ongoing process improvement effort, LightPath has formed a strategic partnership with Hikari glass. This relation ship will allow LightPath to have better control over the incoming glass supply and have a glass supply that is better suited for production of GRADIUM glasses. This change will alter the existing profiles; redefinitions will be available this summer.

Designing with axial-gradient materials can be a complicated task. The difficulties range from the speed of ray-tracing codesand the mechanics of specifying the material and appropriate variables to selecting the best gradient and orientation from aset of fixed profiles. We propose a simple methodology for designing with axial-gradient glasses in modem ray-trace codes.The first step is to determine locations where the gradient can be useful. This decision may be made by probing a design withaspheres or by analysis of the design to decide what needs to be corrected. The second step is to modify the design forappropriate base materials. GRADIT.JM® lenses act as correctors in the optical system and the first-order optical propertiesstill must be controlled in the normal manner. The third step is to design the optimal gradient for the application. While thedesigner will only have the option of designing the gradient for actual use in a very limited set of cases, understanding theshape of the ideal gradient will allow the designer to select the profile and orientation that most closely matches the ideal.Then the designer can work on best implementing the design and fine-tuning the design.Tolerancmg and preparation of the GRADITJM lens print require only a few additional steps and understanding of how thematerial is fabricated. For example, the maximum profile thickness is nominal and may not correspond to the physicaldimensions of a blank, such as when a blank is pre-thinned.Keywords: Gradient-index, optical design, tolerancing, lens manufacture

For many years optical designers have been intuitively aware of the value and potential that an inhomogeneous refractive index distribution can bring to the manufacture of precision optical instruments. Even so, designers have been cautious when considering lens designs with inhomogeneous glass, partly because of design difficulties, but mostly because of the need for controlled and reliable materials. In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility of graded index lenses by addressing the index control requirements that are needed for a diffraction limited lens. We chose for our analysis a rather stressing case: an F/1.5 plano-convex singlet. A general analytic expression for the index of refraction is developed for a perfect axial gradient lens (single color, on axis). Index errors were then added to the perfect index and the lens evaluated for wavefront quality. We found that index errors on the order of 1.6x10-3 rms produced aberrations of 0.04 waves rms, which is within the bounds of a diffraction limited lens. LightPath now routinely fabricates glass with much less index variation, making feasible the fabrication of repeatable diffraction limited lenses with inhomogeneous glass.

Precise optical design requires detailed knowledge of the refractive index. GRADIUM® glasses nirther complicate thesecalculations because the refractive index is a function of axial position within the lens blank. LightPath has used a 16-coefficient Buchdahl dispersion model to allow the computation of the appropriate profile as a function of wavelength. Theinitial coefficients published for the GSF glass family relied on published data for base glasses and were restricted to thevisible regime.'There are many opportunities for use of GRADIUM materials in the NIR. Because there was no experimental data availableto confirm the dispersion of these materials in this regime, experiments were conducted to measure the refractive indexprofiles of various GRADIUM glasses in the visible through the NW. With the availability of this information, GRADIIJMglasses can be applied to NW imaging, communications, or other applications requiring information about the refractiveindex profile at these wavelengths.From these experiments of refractive index versus axial position as a function of wavelength, a revised dispersion model ispresented for the GSF glass family. In addition, a new crown GRADIUM glass, which is under development, were alsotested.KEYWORDS: GRADIUM, axial gradient, gradient-index, dispersion, lens design, refractive index, materials properties

LightPath has been actively commercializing a family of axial-gradient glasses called the GSF glasses. These glasses have the same dispersion and refractive indices found in the conventional SF glasses. Therefore, in polychromatic design, it has only been possible to apply the extra degrees of freedom offered by GRADIUM® to negative elements by replacing a flint glass. This has shown that GRADIUM can significantly and positively affect polychromatic designs. For example, a seven element double Gauss lens was redesigned with GRADIUM, resulting in a six element design and a 27% improvement in rms spot size.1 Similarly, the Kodak Ektapro varifocal projection lens was redesigned reducing the element count from seven to five. Despite these impressive results, since most of the work done by any polychromatic system is done by positive elements— typically crowns, it is clear that the real potential of GRADIUM to polychromatic design could not be unleashed until GRADIUM crown materials were available. The GRADIUM GK glass family is one of several GRADIUM crown families under development. A number of examples will be presented to illustrate the advantages realized in optical design when GK glasses are used. Simple doublets as well as more complex multi-element systems will be discussed, some of which use both GK and GSF glasses and others which use only GK or GSF glasses.

Commercially available GRADIUM® glasses present lens designers with new freedoms to increase performance or reduce the lens count, weight, and cost of optical systems. These glasses possess an axial gradient through the entire glass thickness with large changes in refractive index (?n), dispersion (?v), or other properties. GRADIUM glass lenses containing large refractive index gradients are especially powerful for reducing aberrations in both monochromatic and chromatic lens systems. The purpose of this paper is to explain the general properties of GRADIUM glasses, how these glasses and lenses are manufactured, and the specifications and tolerances of the glasses and lenses. Using GRADIUM glass lenses is very straightforward; the lenses are fabricated with spherical surfaces and used like homogenous (single index) lenses. Comparisons between the theoretical design and actual lens performance for several commercial lenses are presented.

The performance of a fiber-optic laser beam delivery system strongly depends on the fiber and the optics used to image the fiber face on the workpiece. We have compared off-the-shelf homogenous (BK7) and GRADIUM (axial-gradient) singlets to determine what improvement the GRADIUM offers in practice to the typical laser user. The realized benefit for this application, although significant, is much smaller than would be realized by a conventional imaging application. The figure of merit for laser-based materials processing is the 86% energy-enclosure radius, which is not directly supported by commercial ray-tracing software. Therefore empirical rules of thumb are presented to understand when GRADIUM (or any other well-corrected optics) will yield meaningful improvements to the beam delivery system.
