In the first part of this dissertation, we study two different aspects of string phenomenology. First we discuss the complementary signals of low mass superstrings at the proposed electron-positron facilities (ILC and CLIC), in e+e- and {\gamma} {\gamma} collisions. We examine all relevant four-particle amplitudes evaluated at the center of mass energies near the mass of lightest Regge excitations and extract the corresponding pole terms. Secondly, we consider string realizations of the Randall-Sundrum effective theory and explore the search for the lowest massive Regge excitation of the gluon and of the extra (color singlet) gauge boson inherent of D-brane constructions. We also study the ratio of dijet mass spectra at small and large scattering angles. We show that with the first fb-1 such a ratio can probe lowest-lying Regge states for masses ~3.0 TeV. Finally, we propose that the 3.2$\sigma$ excess at about $140 {\rm GeV}$ in the dijet mass spectrum of $W$ + jets reproted by the CDF Collaboration originates in the decay of a leptophobic $Z'$ that can be related to the U(1) symmetries inherent of D-brane models. In the remaining parts of this dissertation, we discuss several points that may help to clarify some questions that remain about the anomaly puzzle in N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and we investigate the issue that the Dirac Hamiltonian of a spin-1/2 particle in a curved background appears to be non-hermitian.
