Papers are listed in reverse order,
starting with the most recent. Numbers refer to the number of the
paper in the NGRREC contribution series. Numbers do not necessarily
correspond to chronological order of publication, because the time
between acceptance of the manuscript (when the number is assigned) and
printing of the journal (or availability on the web site) varies
greatly among journals.
