Acknowledgement
Success of any work would not be completed unless we mention the names of
the people who contributed in the work directly or indirectly. While I cannot
even begin to thank all those who have unknowingly helped me throughout my
studies, I would like to express my deep felt gratitude to some people who have
helped me with useful suggestions and guidance.
First of all, I would like to express my deep felt gratitude for my adviser, Dr.
Vishwanath Hegadekatte, without whose advises, encouragement and patience,
this work would not have been possible, even to think of. The suggestions, tips
and advises given by Vishwanath were immensly helpful for my thesis. I would like
to thank Professor Oliver Kraft, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK), for giving
me this opportunity to work on my master thesis in an international research
atmosphere. I would like to express my deep felt gratitude for Professor Norbert
Huber for his advises and support during the course of this work. I would also
like to thank Yixiang Gan, at IMF II, FZK, for his useful tips and suggestions.
I would like to express my deep felt gratitude for Swedish Government, Dr Lennart
Edsberg and Dr Katarina Gustavsson, for keeping faith in me and giving me
an opportunity to study at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). I am greatly
indebted for the scholarship awarded by STINT for my studies at KTH. I would
like to express my sincere thanks to Professor Sören Andersson for accepting me
as his student and guiding me, from Sweden, during my master thesis, amidst
his busy schedule. I would also like to thank DAAD and IAESTE for helping
me in getting my visa for my thesis at FZK, Germany. Especially, I am greatly
indebted to the cooperation that I received from Barhammar Corolla, Jasmine
Agassi, Gerd Aye and Maike Weisskopf.
