We would like to dedicate this second edition of Oasis to the memory of Piergiorgio Maoloni who passed away recently. In addition to being responsible for the graphics, he took part in the genesis of the review and made most valuable suggestions. The editor, the publisher and all of the staff of Oasis remember Maoloni as a sincere friend and an authoritative colleague.
