So here it is, the thesis post. I wanted to preface this post with a deep and sincere thank you to everyone who helped make this thesis possible. I would not have been able to finish my DMA without their unending support.

I am posting the chapters separately so as to try and be slightly more user friendly. The title of the chapters are pretty self explanatory, however if you have an issue please do not hesitate to ask me!
