Sometimes, if you have very long symbols/abbreviations, you may need to make \texttt{\bs{}losahang} bigger than its default value of 2cm. In this example, thanks to the very long `neuromorphic engineering' ``symbol'', I extended \texttt{\bs{}losahang} to 5cm using the command: \texttt{\bs{}setlength\{\bs{}losahang\}\{5cm\}}. That is why this ``list of symbols'' facility should be limited to \textbf{symbols} and \textbf{abbreviations}, which are short; use \programname{gatech-thesis-gloss} for true glossaries. The Graduate Office does not mention glossaries, but does mention the List of Symbols or Abbreviations. However, this is not to imply that you may not create a glossary if you wish; the \emph{old} OGS style manual did mention a glossary or `List of Nomenclature' along with the List of Symbols or Abbreviations.} } @gd{morphgrow, word = {\oplus}, definition = {morphological growth operator} } @gd{PE, word = {PE}, definition = {processing element} } @gd{neuroeng, word = {neuromorphic engineering}, definition = {reverse engineering the information representation used by neurobiology, and developing artificial systems that employ these representations in their operation.
