First and foremost, my committee chairperson and advisor Dr. Mary Pohl made the most significant contribution. Dr. Pohl was the inspiration for this project, and without her infinite patience and guidance I could not have completed it. A debt of gratitude is owed to my dissertation committee: Dr. Lynne Schepartz, Dr. Glen Doran, and Dr. Robinson Herrera for volunteering to donate their time and expertise to this project.
