This is (at least) your second post which does not follow the Science Buddies guidelines for "interview" requests here: viewtopic.php?f=82&t=12052. Please read those guidelines and follow them if you wish to post interview questions.

Many of these questions are research questions. Experts in the Ask an Expert forums are not able to answer "interviews" of this sort.
