PostscriptThis book is based on my Ph.D dissertation. Organizing my ideas into this book would be impossible without the help of many people. I would like to thank all of theolerance,and support,because I have benefited a lot from them all.
First and foremost,my deepest gratitude goes to Professor Yu Jianhua,supervisor of my Ph.D. studies,for his insightful suggestions for the choice of my topic, his patient hearing of my fractured thoughts, his expert questioning of al reading of my first draft and his enlightening urging for able title.
