Acknowledgements I have experienced some substantial ups and downs during my work on this thesis, and I would not have been able to finish my work without the help of a number of individuals. First, I want to thank my advisor, David C. Mauk, for all the advice and detailed feedback. Your guidance was especially important to me when I discovered how the original thesis proposal was not feasible and needed to turn my back on six-months of research. The firm recommendations I received proved essential to the development of this thesis. I also want to thank my closest friends. After countless travel plans, dinners, and football matches that have been cancelled due to me working on this thesis, I am surprised you people are still around. Most of all, I would like to thank my truly wonderful fiancé, Nicoline. During a time when I could not see myself continuing with this work, your encouragement alone made me complete what I had started. Without your enthusiastic love and support this thesis would never have seen the light of day. Thank you. ! V! VI! !
