SR Articles

A user note: I have tried to present the articles with a helpful précis. Historical and modelling aspects often overlap and search engines in a website can be limited: "Enter search string", for example, will only find the top hit per page. Running Firefox helps because keying CTR+F (and a precise word or phrase) will highlight all the hits on that page.
