Thesis
Philosophiae Doctor Scientiarum
Farid Dahdouh-GuebaS
Acknowledgements
The
realisation of a research enterprise such as a Doctorate of Philosophy is
never solely the result of hard work, but is aided by many discussions and
good teamwork with scientists and local
people. In this
case more than 100 persons were involved on different levels. In the
written thesis I have subdivided my acknowledgements in different categories
for the PhD Thesis and the Annex Thesis with some extra words, particularly
for my promoter, my parents and my own family, but underneath I ranked all the
contributions in alphabetic order of the first name :
