Thank you for all of your guidance and advice. This thesis and the work therein was indirectly supported by the grace of God, my family, friends and fellow grad students, and many cups of coffee, which I only started drinking in graduate school. I would like to specifically thank my lab mates Tristan, Sydney, Ben, Dennis, Darwin, and Ingrid for all of their help when I needed it. It was a pleasure working with all of you, and I couldn’t have asked for a better lab group. To the lunch table- thanks for brightening my days. To all of my friends in grad school, thank you for sharing these past two years with me and putting up with all of my shenanigans. I will miss each and every one of you. i i i iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES ..................................................................................................................................................... vii LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................................................................. viii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ................................................................................................................................... ix ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................................................... x CHAPTER 1.
