Abstract:This thesis is dedicated to my family and everybody who cared about my development, without them I wouldn't be here today. Thank you for your love, guidance, and support that you have always given me, helping me to succeed and instilling in me the confidence that I am capable of doing anything I put my mind to. Thank you both for always being there! iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .
