To my family, friends and colleagues whose prayers and words of encouragement and kindness were motivation to me to continue when I thought all hope was loss. Your unwavering support was a tremendous help for me, I am forever grateful. Thanks to Professors Carla Ventura and Lucila Nascimento, you were 'like mother hens covering her chicks when they need protection, comfort, shelter and most of all love'. For what you have done I can never be ungrateful, thank you. Above all, to Almighty God, for the spiritual enlightenment, the wisdom and constant flow of ideas, which help a great deal for lighting, up the lamp of courage and patience to the success of this research.
