As the Chinese says goes, “One should always appreciate the origin of the river when
drink its water. It is my great pleasure to thank the people who made this thesis
possible.
Dr. David Moore, I could not have wished a better mentor. I feel very difficult to
overstate my gratitude to all his efforts throughout my graduate school period. With his
passion, intelligence and inspiration in science, he provided with me excellent
guidiance, support and encouragement. I also thank David for appreciating my research
strengths and patiently encouraging me to improve in my weaker areas. On the
personal side, David sets an good example of a successful scientist but not being intense
and rigorous. His nice personality makes the lab research fun and rewarding.
I wish to express my warm and sincere thanks to my thesis committee for their
guidiance and suggestions. Their ideas and concepts have had a remarkable influence
on my projects. In particular, I would like to thank
