Hello Mohammad,

I’m currently working on updating the template and it will be available for download after the Lunch n’ Learn session on Friday, 2012/02/24. Until then, please continue to typeset your work in Chapter1.tex, Chapter2.tex and so on – the new template will pick them up and generate the PDF with necessary requirements.

Hi Jay Jin,

Can you advise me how to get bibliography at the end of every chapter. I can have the bibliography at the end of the thesis.

Thanks,

Ghous

‘Put in appropriate references in My[Thesis/Dissertation].bib and pick an appropriate bibliography style in Bibliography.tex’.

How to pick an appropriate bibliography? the following information can be found in the Bibliography.tex file

\cleartooddpage[\thispagestyle{empty}]
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{jpc}
\bibliography{MyThesis}

I had errors using the template with a Windows Vista, Miktex and Jabref combination. Commenting out the \usepackage{psfrag} and \usepackage{pst-plot} seemed to solve most of the problems. Thanks to Gowtham for all the help.

Looks like a typographical error of some kind – the error message should indicate the approximate line number where this is happening as well.

You can download the listings.sty from here:

http://web.mit.edu/texsrc/source/latex/listings/listings.sty

You can leave it in the same working folder.

This file requires `listings.sty’ version 1.4.
*** You have a serious problem, so I’m exiting ..

While running MTUMSThesis for Linux in Mac “TeXshop” getting above error . Kindly provide some help regarding this(where to get this?). The `listings.sty’ should go in Library>texmf>tex>latex OR it should be in the same main working folder.

another error :

(./latexsym.sty) (./listings.sty
(/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/lstmisc.sty

It is cool to definitely see a webpost where the writer understands amazingly well about the subject.

I have been getting this “natbib package warning” ever since I moved to new linux machine when I compile my thesis. The effect is that the references do not show up in my document.

Do you have any ideas to help me out?

Hi, thanks for your efforts.
I guess you prepared everything in latex, including graphs also (pstricks). I wanted the visitors be aware of latex frontends which makes life much more easier. Such as Lyx.

Have a good one.

What is the format of your graphics [figures, graphs], etc.? Are they all JPG, GIF, PNG, PS/EPS or a mixture of these formats ??

I am rather clueless for this error but if I had to point my finger at something, I would do so at your installation of linux &/or latex. I usually do a full installation [all the thousands of packages, including the ones that I have never heard of &/or will never have any use for] of linux & latex – just to avoid any kind of inter-dependency related errors.

Hi
I am working on my dissertation using this package on fedora 11 with texlive 2009 installed. I follow a process of dvi–>ps–>pdf. When I open the pdf file, I found math symbols were not displayed well. In Fedora, Acrobat reader complained that
it can not find the font ‘Symbol’. However if I open the pdf file in Windows, everything is ok. By the way, acrobat reader did not complain when I wrote paper with maths using other package. Could you please help on this?

Well composed thesis papers just about this post made by thesis service or dissertation writing would be a right point to the academic success.

By: Eugene

Eugene — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:17:29 +0000

Absolutely agree with you. Anyway, you did a great job on this package. Font issues are really minors. Have a good holiday.

By: Gowtham

Gowtham — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:15:54 +0000

My first guess would be to check the ordering of packages- hyperref is usually ‘the’ last package to load; except in this template, it’s the penultimate one.

And, you using Makefile by any chance? If not, are you running LaTeX at least a couple times before trying to convert to PDF?

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:24:05 +0000

When I try to make a pdf, I keep getting the following error:

Package hyperref Warning: Rerun to get /PageLabels entry.

(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfss/t1phv.fd)
! Undefined control sequence.
… \uppercase \expandafter {\@program
} \fi
l.62 \titlepage

Any ideas?

I use plain Vi(m) – the template file(s) was/were designed to meet [almost] everyone’s requirements. There is already enough variation of Operating Systems, LaTeX editors & fonts available on the system to cause confusion and as such, I probably cannot add one more degree of freedom/restriction.

If you can get it to work with Vim-LaTeX, all is well and good.

I delete the Make file from the folder and now it works. Yet I got warning:
Chapter2.tex:
Font shape `U/lasy/m/n’ in size not available
