Acknowledgements
As I look back on my academic career, there are many people who have spurred me on togive my best. It is these people to whom I owe an outstanding debt of gratitude.First and foremost, I have to give all glory, honor, and praise to my God and Savior,Jesus Christ, from whom all blessings flow. Indeed, my strength and inspiration comesfrom God alone. Also, I thank God for bringing people into my life who have been aconstant source of encouragement. Of these people, I am most grateful to my parentswho have never stopped loving me from my diaper days to my dissertation days. Theirsupport is something that I will never be able to repay. Amy Wong (soon to be Mrs. SamHan), who has been by my side through thick and thin for the past six years, has been atrue woman of noble character. In her support and encouragement, she ranks right upthere with my parents.As my advisor, mentor, and colleague, Professor Christopher Sotak has been an integralpart of shaping my life as a scientist. In the area of academics, honor, and diligence, Ihave met no equal. Never once has he expected anything less than my best efforts.Truly, he is a man of integrity and I have learned much from his wellspring of wisdom.Dr. Robert Peura, my department head, has been a true example to me in the areas of diplomacy. I covet his skills and have many times been the beneficiary of these skills.Dr. Peter Grigg has not only taught me some of the fundamental thought processes
