*** Notes:

Thanks to my Family and thanks to my own Family for supporting me!

Undoubtedly, this version represents the evolution of previous versions
of the project, which means that it does not end here. Dragora never
received financial support from a University, Foundation, Government
or Enterprise. For this reason, any donation is appreciated.
