Hi Jeff, today we submitted a scientific project proposal to the Spanish ministry of science, and part of the project involves SDR-s and CLA-s (I will be glad to explain the project whenever possible). It has been hard to find relevant peer reviewed papers to support some of the claims. Although an updated white paper would be great, I think that a peer reviewed paper is necessary to use as reference in any grant proposal. thanks! Gari
