Dear colleagues:

Please have a look below. It would be very important to have articles from Continental Europe and Asia (we already have good proposals from the US, UK, Latin America and South Africa). Do you have any suggestions? Please circulate it as much as possible and do consider to write something.

Best,
Paulo
