I am extremely grateful to Mrs. Ranjana Sekhar for making my stay homely during the course of my work. Gratefully I would like to thank my younger sister Tuin and younger brother Tulia for their unlimited love, affection, encouragements, assistance and support at every stage of my life. I do not find proper words to express my sense of indebtedness to my wife Manasmita, whose unlimited love, affection, encouragements, and support have become a special inspiration to me during my Ph. D life. I also thank my brother in-law Munu for his love, affection and support. Finally, I wish to express my deep sense of gratitude to my parents and late grand parents for their immense patience, love, affection, encouragements and support. I am indebted to them for giving me the freedom to choose my career and for constantly providing me the moral and emotional support at every stage of my life. It is only because of their kind blessings that I could complete this work. Date: 22.05.2009 (Manas Kumar Dalai) vi
