I dedicate this dissertation to my beloved wife Dania, my children: Elias,
Yasser and Mehdi. My family, your unwavering support, encouragement, and
constant love throughout this Ph.D. study was incredible. My wife and children have
supported me with prayers, encouraging words that gave me strength to make this dream
a reality. I am truly thankful to my God for having you in my life. I love you.
This dissertation has also been dedicated to my parents. From an early age, they
instilled in me a desire to learn, and made sacrifices so as to I have access to a high-
quality education. Without their support and guidance, I would not be where I am today.
Dear Mom and Dad, I can not thank you enough for all the support and love you have
given me. I know you would have been very proud of me. Thank you so much for your
love.
I dedicate this work as well to my brothers, sisters, and their families, whose support
and encouragement helped me to follow through and not give up.
I would like to extend my dedication to my friends who supported me.
