© FITRI BUDIYANTO 2017 iii Dedication To my beloved family iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the name of Allah, the most gracious, most compassionate, most merciful and all the praises and thanks be to Allah that has given me the opportunity and capability to finish my study in KFUPM. I am deeply indebted and most sincere appreciation goes to my advisor, Dr. Assad Al- Thukair, for knowledge, patience, encouragements, and guidance he has shown me over the past few years that I have been with this department, be it scientifically, personally, or academically. I would like to thank my thesis committee members for their support and sharing their knowledge over the years: Dr. Alexis Nzila and Dr. Musa Mohammed Musa. My thanks also are addressed to my wonderful family: my parents, for their endless pray, love and support; my brother and sisters, for keeping my spirit and encouragement during my master journey; and lastly — to my wife for your endless love, support and encouragement has been most influential and inspiring. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..............................................................................................
