ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the guidance and the help of several individuals who in one way or another contributed and extended their valuable assistance in the preparation and completion of this study. I especially want to thank my professor, Dr. Huanjing Wang for her guidance during my thesis. Her perpetual energy and enthusiasm motivated me to put in my best effort. In addition, she was always accessible and willing to help me with all the queries and difficulties I faced. It would not have been possible to write this thesis if Dr. Guangming Xing hadn’t kindled an interest in me to start my thesis. My utmost gratitude goes to him whose sincerity and encouragement has been my driving force. My thesis found a strong foundation and gained strength from the lectures and seminars given by Dr. Qi Li. He gave in valuable inputs for my thesis and guided me. His
