INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master UMl filt the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of coMm printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction in the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed a note will indicate the deletion Oversize materials (e.g, maps, drawings, charts)are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6 x 9 black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or lustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMi directly to order.

Acknowledgements First, i would like to thank my thesis advisor Professor Doug williams for his patience, invaluable guidance, stimulating discussions, and helpful suggestions throughout this I would also like to thank the other members of my thesis committee, Professors Mary Ingram, Ye(Geoffrey) Li, James McClellan, and Tom Morley for their time and valuable comments and suggestions I am fortunate to have worked for a number of very supportive managers: Jaime Borras. Ed Clark, Bill O Connor, Walt Davis, and Barry Herold. It is my pleasure to express my sincere gratitude to them for their encouragement and support Most importantly, I would like to thank my wife for her love, support, and sacrifices. Without her constant encouragement, it would have been impossible to complete this journey
