All praises are due to Allah S.W.T. for bestowing me with health and opportunity to gain this treasure of knowledge and experience to complete this thesis project. The road to the accomplishment of this project has been a challenging and time consuming. The lessons learned and experiences gained during the entire process have been invaluable. There are a number of people who have been instrumental in the completion of my graduate work and I would like to formally thank all those people and express my gratitude for the contributions they have offered. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to my supervisors, Prof. Dr. Zainuddin Abdul Manan and Dr Haslenda Hashim for their guidance, advices and motivation. Without their continued support and interest, this thesis would not have been the same as presented here. In addition, I would like to thank National Science Fellowship (NSF) for providing me with financial support throughout this work. Finally, I want to express my appreciation and love to my parent, Ariffin Kashinath bin Abdullah and Rosni binti Abu Samah, my beloved husband, Mohd Mu’adz bin Md Eswan and my family members, who have been my constant sources of inspiration and encourage me throughout the completion of the project.
