This work is dedicated with gratitude to my two mentors‐ Dr. R.O.B. Wijesekera (Ceylon Institute for Scientific Research, Colombo, Sri Lanka) and Professor Jim Harwood (University of Akron, Akron, OH, USA), both exceptionally talented teachers as well as accomplished researchers, under whose able guidance I was fortunate enough to receive my own training in scientific research.
