% This is a template for dissertations and theses in the UCI format.
%
% All fonts, including those for sub- and superscripts, must be 10
% points or larger. Recommended sizes are 14-point for chapter
% headings, 12-point for the main body of text and figure/table
% titles, and 10-point for footnotes, sub- and super-scripts, and text
% in figures and tables.
%
% Notes: Add short title to figures, sections, via square brackets,
% e.g. \section[short]{long}.
%
% This block below must appear before \documentclass.
% It enables LaTeX’s PDF tagging support and sets accessibility-related PDF metadata.
\DocumentMetadata{
tagging=on,
% tagging can be set to 'off' for use when drafting, but must be set to 'on' to turn on tagged PDF output
% tagging must be on for submitting to the library
tagging-setup={
math/setup={mathml-SE,mathml-AF}
}, % math tagging setup
pdfstandard=ua-2, % declares PDF/UA-2 as the target accessibility standard
lang=en-US % sets the document language for PDF readers
}

% Some other useful packages
%% caption and subcaption packages are not supported in tagging project yet, as of July 7, 2026. These packages do not impact accessibility, but it creates errors in Overleaf.
%\usepackage{caption}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{tabularx} % compatible
\usepackage{parskip} %% <-- added % compatible
% If you are unable to embed fonts such as 'Zapf Dingbats' or 'Symbol', try using raster images (.jpg or .png) instead of vector images (.pdf or .eps).

% Note: algorithms package has not been tested with tagging, but it is currently incompatible with the tagging project as of July 7, 2026. algorithmic package is compatible.
% Uncomment the following line to use the algorithm package,
% which provides an algorithm environment similar to figure and table
% ("\begin{algorithm}...\end{algorithm}"). A list of algorithms will
% automatically be added in the preliminary pages. Note that you
% probably want a package for the actual code to go with this (e.g.,
% algorithmic).
%\usepackage{algorithm}
% Uncomment the following to avoid "widowing", where page breaks cause
% single lines of paragraphs to float onto the next page (this is not
% a UCI requirement but more of an aesthetic choice).
%\widowpenalty=10000
%\clubpenalty=10000
% Modify or extend these at will.

% Add PDF document info fields
\hypersetup{

}
% Uncomment the following to have numbered subsubsections (by default numbering goes only to subsections (3.1.1)).
%\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4} % makes it go to the paragraph heading, like 3.1.1.1.1
%\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3} % makes it number up to the subsubsection 3.1.1.1
% Set this to only select a subset of the includes directives below.
% Very handy to speed up compilation if you're working on a certain
% part of your thesis. It conserves page numbers, references, etc.
% even for non-included files.

\begin{document}
% Preliminary pages are always loaded (TOC, CV, etc.)
\preliminarypages
% NOTE: All text is double spaced. All text and hyperlinks must be the same font, same font size (10-12pt), and in black colored text. All text must be the same justification, like left justified or fully justified. All text, figures/tables, captions, and equations must fit within the 1-inch margins.
% After your Abstract, the page numbers reset at 1, 2, 3.
% Include the different components of your thesis, in separate files.
% Using \include allows you to set \includeonly above.
\include{Chapter1}
\include{Chapter2}
% ... and so on
% This command ensures the bibliography line of the Table of Contents shows the correct page number.
\clearpage
% Choose what to call the bibliography section: "Bibliography" or "References".
% Default is "Bibliography".
\bibliographyname{Bibliography}
% Single space each entry.
\begin{spacing}{1}
% References should be formatted in style most common in discipline
%Work with your faculty advisor to determine your citation style (Chicago, APA, MLA.) – any style is accepted, just be consistent.
% abbrv is a suggestion.
% ACM-Reference-Format is an option for scholars who publish in ACM venues; that reference-format file is available separately (not bundled with this template). Other venues may use other formats.
\bibliographystyle{abbrv}
\bibliography{references}
\end{spacing}
% You may have one all-encompassing Reference section at the end of your paper, or individual Reference sections at the end of each chapter. Choose one.
% If any chapter of your dissertation is a reproduction of a previously published article, that article must be included in the Reference section.
% The Thesis Manual says not to include appendix figures and tables in the List of Figures and Tables, respectively, so these commands from the caption package turn it off from this point onwards. If needed, it can be re-enabled later (using list=yes argument).
%\captionsetup[figure]{list=no}
%\captionsetup[table]{list=no}
%% Overleaf tagging note: putting these here causes an issue with how the captions interact with the LOF/LOT contents pages. causes warnings
% The warnings come from the caption package's \addcontentsline{lof/lot} call interacting with tagpdf 0.99q
% If you have an appendix, it should come after the references.
