Jekel and Dr. M. Ernst for providing me the opportunity to conduct my research under their guidance in different projects. Several years ago as I began to work on the Technical University of Berlin, the dissertation was so remote to me that I doubted if I could finish it. Thanks to their suggestive advices, to their patient corrections of my papers and presentations, and also to their inspirations, I could make some progress in my work and enjoy the research as well. Thank you so much, Herr Jekel and Mathias.
