Victoria Phaff is facing many problems. Even though it's the new millennium, her concerns are of the age old variety. She is a twenty-three year old Hapa, newly graduated from college, and heart broken. To distract herself and get some distance from a string of failed relationships, she goes to Taiwan to see her great-grandmother, A-zou. While there she unexpectedly finds herself caught in between three generations of Taiwanese women as secrets long suppressed are revealed. As the stories of her great-grandmother, her grandmother, and her mother are unwound, the tenacity and hopes of these women are passed onto the next generation. Vicki draws strength from these tales to grasp happiness for herself.

The existence and qualitative properties of nontrivial solutions for some important nonlinear Schrӧdinger systems have been studied in this thesis. For a well-known system arising from nonlinear optics and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), in the subcritical case, qualitative properties of ground state solutions, including an optimal parameter range for the existence, the uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors, have been investigated and the results could firstly partially answer open questions raised by Ambrosetti, Colorado and Sirakov. In the critical case, a systematical research on ground state solutions, including the existence, the nonexistence, the uniqueness and the phase separation phe...
