First and foremost, I wish to thank my principal mentor, PD Dr. H. Koller, for giving me the opportunity to undertake this project. His advice and guidance over the last three and half years have been highly appreciated. I would like to thank him for sending me overseas and within Germany on a number of occasions to present my work at conferences and to collaborate with other scientists, where I gained a great deal of valuable experience.
