% \begin{abstract}
% Load the \pkg{uiucthesis} class for use with \LaTeX2e
% to produce a document that conforms
% to the format described in
% \emph{Handbook for Graduate Students Preparing to Deposit}\cite{Handbook}.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{The User Interface}
%
% This section describes how to use the \pkg{uiucthesis} class to
% produce a thesis satisfying the format requirements of the
% Grad College at UIUC.
% I assume that you are familiar with \LaTeX, and highly
% recommend that anyone attempting to use \LaTeX\ to produce a
% thesis have access to a copy of the \LaTeX\ book\cite{Lamport}.
%
% \subsection{Using \pkg{uiucthesis}}
%
% To write a thesis, you load the UIUC thesis definitions
% by loading the \pkg{uiucthesis} class at the beginning of
% your \LaTeX\ document with the |\documentclass| command.
% For example,
% \begin{quote} \hrule \begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[draftthesis,fullpage]{uiucthesis}
% \end{verbatim} \hrule \end{quote}
% \iffalse
%<example>
% \fi
%
% \DescribeMacro{[draftthesis]}
% \DescribeMacro{[fancy]}
% \DescribeMacro{[fullpage]}
% The \pkg{uiucthesis} class provides a number of options.
% The |[draftthesis]| option causes each page to have a header
% proclaiming the document to be a draft copy, along with the
% current time and date.
% It also omits the copyright page and prints out any marginal notes
% added with the |\note| macro.
% The |[fancy]| style option produces slightly fancier chapter headings.
% The |[fullpage]| style option makes the margins as small as the
% format requirements allow and uses double-spacing for the text.
% Because wide text columns are generally
% considered harder on the reader
% this is not the default, but is provided as an option because people
% seem to want it.
% The |[fancy]| and |[fullpage]| options are incompatible---choose
% one or the other.
%
% \DescribeMacro{[proquest]}
% The |[proquest]| option is meant to be used when you are ready to deposit your thesis.
% For doctorates, the Grad College requires the submission of a specially
% formatted abstract for the ProQuest publication service. To produce this
% abstract, include the |[proquest]| option and reprocess your file. Everything
% in your \LaTeX\ document will be ignored except the contents of the \env{abstract}
% environment, which are printed out in the format required. Once the option is
% removed from the |\documentclass| command, you can reprocess your thesis as
% normal (the auxiliary files should be intact). To use this option, the name
% of your thesis advisor needs to be specified with the |\advisor| command (see
% below).
%
% \DescribeMacro{[edeposit]}
% Use the |[edeposit]| option if you are depositing your thesis electronically. The title page
% is different and the page numbering is slightly different since the committee
% approval form is not included with your thesis.  If this option is used, you
% must specify your committee members with the |\committee| command (see below).
%
% \DescribeMacro{[offcenter]}
% The |[offcenter]| option adds 1/2 inch to the left margin of all pages.
% This can be done to allow some extra space there for binding purposes, or
% if you use the |[fancy]| option, to allow for more space for the chapter
% numbers at the left side of the page.
% In past versions of \pkg{uiucthesis}, the |[fancy]| option did this by default.
% This version uses symmetric margins by default, even with the
% |[fancy]| option. If you have a lot of chapters (i.e., more than 9), your chapter
% numbers may spill into
% the 1 inch margin required by the Grad College without using this option.
% This option should not be used with the |[fullpage]| option.
%
% \DescribeMacro{[centerchapter]}
% Normally, the chapter headings are all left-justified on the opening page of
% each chapter. These headings can all be centered by using the |[centerchapter]|
% option for the class. This option is not recommended for use with the |[fancy]|
% option.
%
% \subsection{The Title Page}
%
% The |\maketitle| command is redefined so that it creates a
% title page with the correct format for a thesis at UIUC.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\phdthesis}
% \DescribeMacro{\otherdoctorate}
% \DescribeMacro{\msthesis}
% \DescribeMacro{\othermasters}
% \DescribeMacro{\department}
% \DescribeMacro{\college}
% Use the |\phdthesis| or |\msthesis| to set the correct thesis type.
% If your thesis isn't for a ``Ph.D.'' or ``M.S.'', you can specify
% your degree with either\\
% |\otherdoctorate{|\meta{degree name}|}{|\meta{abbreviation}|}| or\\
% |\othermasters{|\meta{degree name}|}{|\meta{abbreviation}|}|.\\
% For example, specifying |\phdthesis| is equivalent to giving the command\\
% |\otherdoctorate{Doctor of Philosophy}{Ph.D.}|.\\
% The default thesis type is |\phdthesis|. Set your department with\linebreak
% |\department{|\meta{department}|}|. This defines the field your degree
% will be in, so leave out ``Department of.''
% The default department is ``Computer Science''.
% Define your college with |\college{|\meta{college}|}|.
% The default is college is ``Graduate College'';
% you shouldn't need to change it.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\schools}
% Use |\schools{|\meta{school list}|}| to list the previous degrees
% you have received and the schools that you received them from.
% Separate multiple degrees with |\\|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\degreeyear}
% Use |\degreeyear{|\meta{year}|}| to define the year in which
% you will receive your degree.  The default is the current year.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\advisor}
% \DescribeMacro{\adviser}
% Use |\advisor{|\meta{advisor name}|}| or |\adviser{|\meta{advisor name}|}|
% to specify the name of your
% advisor. This is needed to produce the ProQuest abstract
% (see the |[proquest]| option above). You only need to submit a
% ProQuest abstract if you are a doctoral candidate.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\committee}
% Use |\committee{|\meta{committee members}|}| to specify the members
% of your committee and their titles as you want them to appear on the
% title page. Separate members with |\\|. This is only needed for
% electronically deposited theses.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\volume}
% The |\volume| macro provides nominal support for very long theses that must
% be broken up into multiple volumes. Use |\volume{|\meta{number}|}|
% to specify the volume number (a single arabic numeral). All this macro
% does is place the word VOLUME with the number you specify on the title
% page. You have to take care of what appears in each volume. The easiest
% way to do this is to create two separate source files, one for each
% volume.
%
% Here's how to produce an example similar to that in \cite{Handbook}.

% \iffalse

% \fi
%
% \subsection{Front Matter}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\frontmatter}
% Typically, a thesis might have an Abstract, a Dedication, some
% Acknowledgments, and a Preface before the Table of Contents.
% Use the |\frontmatter| command to start this preliminary section
% of the thesis.
% The |\frontmatter| command sets the page number of the next page
% to roman numeral iii (or ii if the |[edeposit]| option is used).
% (The title page is page i, and the certificate
% of committee approval, the ``red-bordered form,'' is page ii.)
%
% \DescribeEnv{abstract}
% The abstract should appear in the \env{abstract} environment. Normally,
% this just produces another chapter with |\chapter*{\abstractname}|,
% where |\abstractname| is ``Abstract'' (see User Customization below),
% but if the |[proquest]| option
% is specified, then the contents of this environment are used
% for the ProQuest abstract.
%
% \DescribeEnv{dedication}
% A dedication page can be printed with the \env{dedication} environment.
% This produces a separate page with the dedication centered horizontally
% and vertically, with the text in italics.
%
% After this front matter comes the Table of Contents,
% List of Tables, List of Figures, etc.  Use the standard \LaTeX\
% commands |\tableofcontents|, |\listoftables|, |\listoffigures|, etc.,
% to generate them.
% In the \pkg{uiucthesis} format these lists are all single spaced.
%
% \DescribeEnv{symbollist}
% \DescribeEnv{symbollist*}
% Optionally, these tables can be followed by a List of Abbreviations and/or
% List of Symbols. Introduce these with the |\chapter| command. To aid in
% making these lists, the \env{symbollist} and \env{symbollist*} environments are
% defined in \pkg{uiucthesis}. These environments produce a two-column list
% as illustrated below. By default the left column is 1 inch wide but can
% be specified with an optional argument. In the starred environment, the left
% column is left-justified, otherwise it is centered. See the example below.
%
% Here's an example of what the front matter of a typical
% thesis looks like.  First comes the Abstract and the Dedication, both of
% which are optional.
% \begin{quote} \hrule \begin{verbatim}
\frontmatter

%% Create an abstract that can also be used for the ProQuest abstract.
%% Note that ProQuest truncates their abstracts at 350 words.
\begin{abstract}
This is a comprehensive study of caffeine consumption by graduate
students at the University of Illinois who are in the very final
stages of completing their doctoral degrees. A study group of six
hundred doctoral students\ldots.
\end{abstract}

%% Create a dedication in italics with no heading, centered vertically
%% on the page.
\begin{dedication}
To Father and Mother.
\end{dedication}

%% Create an Acknowledgements page, many departments require you to
%% include funding support in this.
\chapter*{Acknowledgments}

This project would not have been possible without the support of
many people. Many thanks to my adviser, Lawrence T. Strongarm, who
read my numerous revisions and helped make some sense of the
confusion. Also thanks to my committee members, Reginald Bottoms,
Karin Vegas, and Cindy Willy, who offered guidance and support.
Thanks to the University of Illinois Graduate College for awarding
me a Dissertation Completion Fellowship, providing me with the
financial means to complete this project. And finally, thanks to
my husband, parents, and numerous friends who endured this long
process with me, always offering support and love.

%% The thesis format requires the Table of Contents to come
%% before any other major sections, all of these sections after
%% the Table of Contents must be listed therein (i.e., use \chapter,
%% not \chapter*).  Common sections to have between the Table of
%% Contents and the main text are:
%%
%% List of Tables
%% List of Figures
%% List Symbols and/or Abbreviations
%% etc.

\tableofcontents
\listoftables
\listoffigures
% \iffalse
%<example>
% \fi
% \end{verbatim} \hrule \end{quote}
%
% If you want a List of Symbols or Abbreviations, you can do so as follows:
% \begin{quote} \hrule \begin{verbatim}
%% Create a List of Abbreviations. The left column
%% is 1 inch wide and left-justified
\chapter{List of Abbreviations}

\begin{symbollist*}
\item[CA] Caffeine Addict.
\item[CD] Coffee Drinker.
\end{symbollist*}

%% Create a List of Symbols. The left column
%% is 0.7 inch wide and centered
\chapter{List of Symbols}

\begin{symbollist}[0.7in]
\item[$\tau$] Time taken to drink one cup of coffee.
\item[$\mu$g] Micrograms (of caffeine, generally).
\end{symbollist}
% \end{verbatim} \hrule \end{quote}
% \iffalse

% \fi
%
% \subsection{Main Matter}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\mainmatter}
% Begin the main body of your thesis with the |\mainmatter| command.
% It resets the page number to arabic numeral 1.
% You can now use any of the commands defined by the
% the book document class to write your thesis.
%
% In the following example, each of the chapters
% has been broken out into separate files that are inserted into
% this main file with the |\include| command.  This allows the
% thesis to be proofed quickly while it is being revised with
% the |\includeonly| command.  To provide an example of what the
% chapter headings look like, one chapter has been explicitly
% coded. (Try recompiling the example file with the |[fancy]|
% option instead of |[fullpage]| to see the effect.)
%
% \begin{quote} \hrule \begin{verbatim}
\mainmatter

\include{1-introduction}
\include{2-related}
\include{3-model}
\include{4-predictions}

\chapter{Conclusions}

We conclude that graduate students like coffee.
% \iffalse
%<example>
% \fi
% \end{verbatim} \hrule \end{quote}
%
% \subsection{Reference Matter}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\appendix}
% To switch from the body of your thesis to the reference material
% at the end, you should use the standard \LaTeX\ |\appendix| command.
% In \pkg{uiucthesis}, there is also a starred version of this command
% that eliminates the lettering of the appendices (use if you have
% a single appendix). Note that if you use |\appendix*| along with
% the |[fancy]| option, you may want to put ``Appendix:'' at
% the beginning of the chapter title.
%
%
% \begin{quote} \hrule \begin{verbatim}
\appendix*

\include{Appendix.tex}
% \end{verbatim} \hrule \end{quote}
% \iffalse
%<example>
% \fi
%
% \subsection{Back Matter}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\backmatter}
% The last few chapters in your thesis should not have chapter
% numbers, but should be listed in the Table of Contents.
% These chapters include the Bibliography, the Index,
% and the Vita.  \LaTeX's |\backmatter| command accomplishes this.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibliography}
% Use the standard \LaTeX\ bibliography commands to
% create your bibliography. Most people will use Bib\TeX\ to do this.
% (See \cite{Lamport}). For those in the sciences, you may want to
% check out the \pkg{cite} package (it's pretty standard), which
% will produce numerical citations that are sorted and compressed.
% You can also use the \pkg{natbib} package. Both of these packages
% can do either bracketed citations or superscript citations.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\vita}
% The |\vita| command begins a new chapter for your vita.
% In fact, it does exactly the same thing as |\chapter{\vitaname}|,
% where |\vitaname| is ``Vita.''
%
% \begin{quote} \hrule \begin{verbatim}
\backmatter

\bibliography{thesisbib}

\chapter{Vita}

Juan Valdez was born\ldots.

%
% \section{User Customization}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\draftheader}
% If you don't like the header that the the |[draftthesis]| option
% creates, you can redefine the |\draftheader| command so that it
% produces whatever text you want.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\thesisspacing}
% The \pkg{uiucthesis} class loads \pkg{setspace} for the
% line spacing commands.  See the documentation in that package
% for more information on the commands it provides.
% By default, \pkg{uiucthesis} uses one and a half line spacing,
% or double spacing if the |[fullpage]| option is specified.
% If you're unhappy with that, you can override it by redefining the
% |\thesisspacing| command.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\nocopyrightpage}
% Unless the |[draftthesis]| option is used, a page with the copyright notice
% is printed before the title page. If you don't want this page to
% appear, even in the final version, put the |\nocopyrightpage| macro
% somewhere in the preamble.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\toclabels}
% Some departments require the Table of Contents, List of Tables and
% List of Figures to have a ``Page'' heading over the page numbers
% on the first page. This can be accomplished by putting the |\toclabels|
% command somewhere before the |\tableofcontents| command. (NOTE: if you put
% the |\tableofcontents| command in a separate file that you |\include| in
% the main file, the |\toclabels| command must also be in that file.)
%
% \DescribeMacro{\chaptertitlefont}
% \DescribeMacro{\sectiontitlefont}
% \DescribeMacro{\subsectiontitlefont}
% \DescribeMacro{\subsubsectiontitlefont}
% These macros contain the font declarations for the corresponding sectioning
% levels and can be redefined to suit your aesthetic desires. Use
% |\renewcommand| to do this in the preamble.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\chapternumberfont}
% The |\chapternumberfont| macro is really most applicable when the |[fancy]| option is used. It
% specifies the font declaration used for the chapter number set in the left
% margin next to the title. Otherwise it specifies the font used to print
% the words ``Chapter \#'' at the top of each chapter's opening page. Use
% |\renewcommand| to redefine this macro in the preamble.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\chaptertitleheight}
% |\chaptertitleheight| is the amount of space allotted for the chapter title at the top
% of the page. You can redefine it using |\setlength| in the preamble.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibname}
% |\bibname| is a standard \LaTeX\ macro that contains the title of the reference
% section at the end of your thesis; ``References'' by default. Use
% |\renewcommand| to redefine it in the preamble.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\vitaname}
% Like |\bibname| but it contains the name used for your vita at the very end.
% The Grad College allows ``Vita'', ``Author's Biography'', or ``Curriculum Vitae'',
% each of which is slightly different in format.  See \cite{Handbook}.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\abstractname}
% Like above, but for the abstract. By default, ``Abstract''.
%
% \DescribeMacro{other "name"s}
% Similarly, the titles for the Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables
% are stored in the macros |\contentsname|, |\listfigurename|, and |\listtablename|,
% respectively. Their default values are the names in the previous sentence. There are
% also the macros |\chaptername|, |\appendixname|, |\indexname|, |\partname|,
% |\tablename|, and |\figurename| that contain the appellations for chapter and appendix
% headings (not applicable with the |[fancy]| option), the index, parts, tables, and figures.
% Their default values are Chapter, Appendix, Index, Part, Table, and Figure, respectively.
% All of these macros can
% be redefined in the preamble with |\renewcommand|.  These macros are all part of
% the standard \LaTeX\ formalism, they are just included here for the reader's convenience.
% For example, some departments require chapter headings to be in all caps, which can
% be done by changing the |\chaptername| macro to be CHAPTER.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\note}
% This command inserts a marginal note just like |\marginpar| with two distinctions:
% First, the note is single-spaced in a smaller type for compactness.
% Second, it is only printed when
% the |[draftthesis]| option is used. Since marginal notes are not allowed in the final
% draft, the |\note| command is recommended over the |\marginpar| command.
%
% \section{Backwards Compatibility}
%
% Compatibility with previous versions of \pkg{uiucthesis} are supported. Previously it
% was implemented as a package rather than a class, in which case you opened the document
% with:
% \begin{quote} \hrule \begin{verbatim}

% To provide backwards-compatibility, a style file is provided that has the same functionality
% of the class file described herein. Similarly, (really) old versions of \pkg{uiucthesis}
% used the \env{preliminary} and \env{thesis} environments, which are now deprecated

%
% \section{Other Issues}
%
% \subsection{Paper Size and PDF Files}
%
% The default paper size for most \LaTeX\ distributions is A4, which is slightly different
% the 8.5 x 11 size for letter paper in the U.S\@. The Graduate College requires theses
% to be letter paper size.  In addition, many departments want soft copies of the thesis
% in PDF format. Unfortunately, the program used to convert the dvi file to PDF format
% (|dvipdfm| on my computer, which is a Windows machine with Mik\TeX installed on it)
% often produces PDF files in A4 format, even if |letterpaper|
% is specifically specified in the your \TeX source file. If you're having this problem,
% either run the PDF conversion utility from the command line with the right flag ---
% for example, |dvipdfm -p letter| on my computer --- or change the default paper size in
% the config file for your PDF conversion utility, which will then fix this problem
% permanently.  On my computer, this can be done by going to the |dvipdfm\config|
% subdirectory off of the main \TeX installation directory (usually |C:\texmf|). In this
% directory is a file called |config| that has a line for the default paper size.
%
% \subsection{Reference Lists at the Chapter Level}
%
% The \pkg{cite} package includes a style file \pkg{chapterbib.sty} that can be used
% to do a list of references for each chapter instead of just one big list at the
% end of the thesis.  I've not used this style before so you're on your own if you
% want to do this, but I think it is rather straightforward\ldots.

%
% \begin{macro}{\l@chapter}
%    This code is a modified version of the code in the 1996/05/26 release
%    of classes.dtx that produces leader dots between the chapter
%    name and the page number.
%
%    This macro formats the entries in the table of contents for
%    chapters. It is very similar to |\l@part|
%
%    First we make sure that if a pagebreak should occur, it occurs
%    \emph{before} this entry. Also a little whitespace is added and a
%    group begun to keep changes local.
%    \begin{macrocode}

    \vskip 1.0em \@plus 0.2em \@minus 0.2em
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The macro |\numberline| requires that the width of the box that
%    holds the part number is stored in \LaTeX's scratch register
%    |\@tempdima|. Therefore we put it there. We begin a group, and
%    change some of the paragraph parameters.  These are different
%    from the defaults for the standard report or book class.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \setlength\@tempdima{1.5em}

      \leftskip \z@ \rightskip \@tocrmarg \parfillskip -\rightskip
      \parindent \z@
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then we leave vertical mode and switch to a bold font.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \leavevmode \bfseries
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Because we do not use |\numberline| here, we have do some fine
%    tuning `by hand', before we can set the entry. We discourage but
%    not disallow a pagebreak immediately after a chapter entry.
%    We use leaders between the chapter title and the page number,
%    unlike the standard report or book class.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \advance\leftskip\@tempdima

% of the chapter title.  If $a$ is the height of the chapter number and $b$ is

% box of height $b+(a-b)/2=(a+b)/2$ then it aligns correctly.
%
% We arrange for this value to be computed at the beginning of the document
% in case the user loads a style file that changed the default fonts.
%
% In addition, we want the chapter titles to have the same vertical placement
% on the page, regardless whether the chapter is numbered or not. We compute
% the distance we have to skip for chapters without numbers to accomplish this
% and store it in |\thesis@chapskip|.

% is redefined so that the unstarred version is used instead. In addition,
% the environment is also single-spaced for aesthetics. These modifications are done

% \subsection{Page Layout}
%
% First we set the vertical layout.
% Adjust the height of the text column so that it takes up the full
% height of an 8.5 by 11 inch page.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\topmargin=0pt
\advance \topmargin by -\headheight
\advance \topmargin by -\headsep
\textheight 8.9in
%    \end{macrocode}
% Next, set the horizontal layout.
%
% The standard for technical papers seems to be to use
% extremely wide columns of text, and then to increase the spacing between
% lines to compensate for the long lines.
% Unfortunately, because so many papers are typeset this way,
% the format has become self-propagating.
%
% The |[fullpage]| option sets one-inch margins.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\if@fullpage
  \setlength{\textwidth}{\paperwidth}
  \addtolength{\textwidth}{-2in}
  \@settopoint\textwidth
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% In the old version of \pkg{uiucthesis}, the ``fancy'' thesis style used
% an asymmetric page layout,
% shifting the text column slightly over to the right to leave
% room for the chapter number to the left of the chapter title. This layout
% is still used if the |[offcenter]| option is given, otherwise symmetric
% margins are used.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\setlength{\@tempdima}{\paperwidth}
\addtolength{\@tempdima}{-\textwidth}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{.5\@tempdima}
\addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-1in}
\if@thesisoffcenter
  \addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{0.5in}
  \reversemarginpar
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% Set |\marginparwidth|, leaving 24pt for the right margin.
% Note that you're not allowed to actually use a marginal paragraph
% this close to the edge in the final version of a thesis, but it is still
% handy for leaving notes to yourself in the draft (with the |\note|
% command, see below).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\setlength{\marginparwidth}{\oddsidemargin}
\addtolength{\marginparwidth}{1in}
\addtolength{\marginparwidth}{-\marginparsep}
\addtolength{\marginparwidth}{-24pt}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Use the same margins for even and odd pages. Use the \LaTeX macro
% |\@settopoint| to truncate arithmetic errors.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@settopoint\oddsidemargin
\@settopoint\marginparwidth
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{\oddsidemargin}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Making Notes}
%
% \begin{macro}{\note}
% You can leave yourself marginal notes using the |\note{|\meta{text}|}|
% macro. If the final draft is being printed (i.e., no |[draftthesis]| option)
% then these notes are not printed.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\if@thesisdraft
    \newcommand{\note}[1]{\marginpar{\def\baselinestretch{1}\small\raggedright #1}}
\else
    \newcommand{\note}[1]{}

% \subsection{Page Numbering}
%
% Page numbers must be in one of three places, and must appear in the

% To accommodate the draft heading, we redefine the plain page style.
