ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I wish to express my deepest thanks to all those who
aided in my preparation of this thesis. First and foremost, I want to
thank Dr. Spencer Tucker for all of his valuable input during the writing
process. I could not have chosen a more helpful person to be my major
professor. I would also like to thank Drs. Stevens and Shearer for taking
part in my thesis committee and making themselves available when I needed their
assistance.
I am mostly grateful to my parents, Anthony and Donna
Macina for everything they have done for me. Their patience and encouragement
were my most valuable assets as a graduate student. I know they share my
relief at completion of this project.
