Abstract

This dissertation is dedicated to my beloved grandmother Tianying Dai and my parents, Zaolin Xu and Yimei Chen, whose affection, love, encouragement and prays of day and night make me able to get such success and honor. This dissertation is also in memory of my grandfather. The absence during the last moments of his life is my biggest regret in my PhD career.
