Instructions to produce the PDF

The thesis was written with Emacs org-mode. To obtain the Thesis manuscript named thesis.pdf, one must run M-x org-latex-export-to-pdf or similar within an Emacs session. The commands first exports the .org files into LaTeX, and then launches a standard pdflatex command, or similar, to generate a PDF. For more information, run C-h f org-latex-export-to-pdf within an Emacs session.

Due to issues with the integration of the official scripts for the cover and back with the mimosis class, those pages are produced separately and merged after the Thesis has been generated, using bash scripts/merge_pdfs.sh, which creates a file named thesis_final.pdf. The thesis.pdf file does have a cover and a back, but they do not exhibit the correct format.

Notes

• The bibliographic file unsrt.bst was modified following the approach detailed here, and named thesis_custom.bst. The modification limits the number of displayed authors to 4. In the end the mentioned file was not used, but was kept for reference.
