With Bismillah and Alhamdulillah, I started to write this Acknowledgment. In the name of Allah and all praise is due to Allah. SWT this thesis will not be completed without His power and will (Qudrah and Iradah). The Lord of the universe who has given mercy and blessings to this world. Peace and salutation be upon the prophet Muhammad SAW, together with his family and companions who have brought the enlightenment into human life.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisors, Dr. H.
