Dear Kamalesh, please post this to the mailing list instead of
sending it directly to me. Once you post it to the list, I am fairly
likely to respond for membrane questions. When you post to the list,
though, you also have the chance of getting input from somebody else, and
also some form of quality control in that other people read the answers
and may suggest corrections if needed.

Chris.
