In this issue, we take a review lantern and shed some light on some of this field’s aspects. Clearly, we do not cover everything. We will often see shadows and not the full image. Ultimately, we hope to encourage further exploring of the field.<br>
<br>
<span>The Lantern issue is published in two parts:<strong> <a href="http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=c9eb9e7b05&e=1410976b30" style="color:#333;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;font-style:normal;text-transform:underline" target="_blank">Part 1</a> </strong>was published on Q1/2014.<br>
