Firstly, I’m grateful to almighty Allah for providing the strength and energy to start such a project and finally finish it successfully.
I’m really very grateful and take the honor to express my special thanks to my supervisor DR. Yousuf M. Islam, PhD for all sorts of supportive suggestions and opinions. Without his support, co-operation and resources it would be a day dream to complete my research in this due time.
