ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />

I would like to express my gratitude to all those who gave me the possibility to<br />

complete this thesis. I am deeply indebted to my supervising professor, Dr. Seiichi<br />

Nomura for his guidance, patience and motivation. I sincerely thank him for his help<br />

not only in completing my thesis but also for his invaluable suggestions and<br />

encouragement.<br />

I sincerely thank committee members Dr. Wen Chan and Dr. Dereje Agonafer<br />

for serving on my committee. They have been a continuous source of inspiration<br />

throughout my study at The University of Texas at Arlington.<br />

I would like to end by saying that this thesis came to a successful end due to the<br />

support and blessings from my family. Last but not the least I thank Sameer Chandragiri<br />

and all my other friends for their help and encouragement.<br />
