Acknowledgments

I would like to address special thanks to the people below for their help and support during the preparation of this book. First, I am thankful to my wife, Betül and my three children for their patience and continuous support while writing this book. I am very grateful to Dr. Hao Ling, Emeritus Professor in Engineering of the University of Texas at Austin for being a valuable source of knowledge, ideas, and also inspiration throughout my academic carreer. He has been a great advisor since I met him, and his guidance on scientific research is priceless to me.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to my former graduate students; Dr. Şevket Demirci, Dr. Enes Yiğit, Dr. Betül Yılmaz, Dr. Deniz Üstün, Özkan Kırık, and Dr. Hakan Işıker who have helped carrying out some of the research presented in this book. I would also like to thank my graduate student Rasheed Khankan for his help in preparing references.

Last but not least, I would like to convey my special thanks to Dr. Kai Chang for inviting me to write the first and then second edition of the book. Without his kind offer, this book project would not have been possible.
