All of us want to thank B´ ela Erd´ elyi, Gabi Weizman, Pavel Snopok and
He Zhang for thoughtful comments about the material. We also are thankful
to many authors, national laboratories and publishers allowing us to reproduce published figures. The details are described in the corresponding figure

Last but not least, we are very grateful to the entire staff of Taylor &
Francis for their continuous support, in particular to Francesca McGowan for
her great interest and productive comments.
