Template for Thesis/Dissertation for the UVA GSAS
% File: UVA_ETD_template.tex
% Created: Wed Oct 20 12:58 PM 2021 EDT
% Last Change: Wednesday, October 20, 2021
% Author: Ricky Patterson, UVA
% Based on VTthesis_template.tex by Alan Lattimer VT
% and modifications by Carrie Cross, Robert Browder, and LianTze Lim.
%
% This template is designed to operate with XeLaTeX.
%
% Formatted to (almost*) meet UVA print requirements (even though this is not
% necessary for LIBRA ETD upload, it is necessary for a print copy
% from UVA PCS if you want one, and it does help it look better as an ETD):
% https://graduate.as.virginia.edu/sites/graduate.as.virginia.edu/files/thesisPhysicalStandards.pdf
%
% *One exception from PCS print requirements - this template assumes you are
% producing a double sided document. Since the print copy is no longer being
% produced for archival purposes, printing double-sided seems acceptable/desirable.
% This means page numbers are at the top outside corner of a page, and the 1.5 inch
% margin is on the inside margin of the page. It works as a normal (double-sided) book.
%
% Title Page meets GSAS ETD requirements:
% https://graduate.as.virginia.edu/thesis-submission-and-graduation
% (actual template is here:
% https://graduate.as.virginia.edu/sites/graduate.as.virginia.edu/files/thesisTitlePageTemplate-2017.pdf)
%
%Further instructions for using this template are embedded in the document. Additionally, there are comments at the end of the file that give suggestions on writing your thesis.
%
%In addition to the standard formatting options, the following options are defined for the UVAthesis class: doublespace, draft.
% nopageskip - Removes arbitrary blank pages.
\documentclass[doublespace,nopageskip]{UVAthesis}
% Using the following header instead will create a draft copy of your thesis
%\documentclass[doublespace,draft]{UVAthesis}
% The lipsum package is just included to put dummy "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" text in the document in order to demonstrate page headers and table of contents behavior. You should remove it once you begin writing your actual thesis or dissertation.

This document is an example of \texttt{biblatex} package use in bibliography
management. Three items are cited: \textit{The \LaTeX\ Companion} book \autocite{latexcompanion}, the Einstein journal paper \parencite{einstein}, and
Donald Knuth's website \parencite{knuthwebsite}. The \LaTeX\ related items are by
\textcite{latexcompanion,knuthwebsite}.
% Uncomment the following lines to include your bibliography:
\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]
% This formats the chapter name to appendix to properly define the headers:
\appendix
% Add your appendices here. You must leave the appendices enclosed in the appendices environment in order for the table of contents to be correct.
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{The Title of the First Appendix}
\label{app:appendixA}
\lipsum[3]
\section{Section 1 of Appendix A} \label{app:appendixA_1}
\lipsum[4]

%****************************************************************************
% Below are some general suggestions for writing your dissertation:
%
% 1. Label everything with a meaningful prefix so that you
% can refer back to sections, tables, figures, equations, etc.
% Usage \label{<prefix>:<label_name>} where some suggested
% prefixes are:
% ch: Chapter
% se: Section
% ss: Subsection
% sss: Sub-subsection
% app: Appendix
% ase: Appendix section
% tab: Tables
% fig: Figures
% sfig: Sub-figures
% eq: Equations
%
% 2. The UVAthesis class provides for natbib citations. You should upload
% one or more *.bib bibtex files. Suppose you have two bib files: some_refs.bib and
% other_refs.bib. Then your bibliography line to include them
% will be:
% \bibliography{some_refs, other_refs}
% where multiple files are separated by commas. In the body of
% your work, you can cite your references using natbib citations.
% Examples:
% Citation Output
% -------------------------------------------------------
% \cite{doe_title_2016} [18]
% \citet{doe_title_2016} Doe et al. [18]
% \citet*{doe_title_2016} Doe, Jones, and Smith [18]
%
% For a complete list of options, see

%
% 3. Here is a sample table. Notice that the caption is centered at the top. Also
% notice that we use booktabs formatting. You should not use vertical lines
% in your tables.
%
% \begin{table}[htb]
% \centering
% \caption{Approximate computation times in hh:mm:ss for full order versus reduced order models.}
% \begin{tabular}{ccc}
% \toprule

% \cmidrule(r){2-3}
% $\overline{U}_{in}$ m/s & Full Model & ROM \\
% \midrule
% 0.90 & 2:00:00 & 2:08:00\\
