Sure Sir, thanks Sir for reply. I need comprehensive comments on this topic. I am preparing myself for thesis defense, I need the help in this regard. I want to prepare something which is easy to understand for everyone because in the defense committee there are many doctors of other fields other than plasma.
Anyhow thanks, it is a better forum for sharing and discussing different issues.
