Ich versichere, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbständig und nur unter Verwendung der angegebenen Quellen und Hilfsmittel verfasst habe. Mainz, den 17. December 2004 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung:14. 02. 2005 To my family and to Sylvain Acknowledgments Three years for a Ph.D. appeared to me as a long period when I was at the beginning. As the first questions started to be answered, new ones, more complicated arose and the time went faster and faster. Suddenly, I found my self at the end of these three years. I had nice and fun times in Mainz, but I didn’t avoid the difficult ones, when I was full of questions and doubts. But during all the time I had people around me with whom I shared the happy moments and who supported me when the times were hard. Today, I would like to say THANK YOU to all of these people. First of all, I would like to thank my parents and family. Although they are very far from Mainz, they always supported me and gave me the courage and strength to never give up. I want to thank my advisors and collaborators: for the opportunity to work on the interesting projects, for the scientific background and financial support, for the enthusiasm, moral support and motivation.
