\chapter{INTRODUCTION}
\label{chap:intro}
This document provides a simple template of how the provided
\verb+cetlyproj.cls+ \LaTeX\ class is to be used. Also provided are
several useful tips to do various things that might be of use when you
write your report/thesis.\par
\section{Instructions}
\begin{itemize}
\item Install TexLive, MiKTeX or MacTex:
\item General installation \href{http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html}{instructions}
\item Ubuntu: \verb+sudo apt-get install texlive-full+
\item Edit report.tex file using any text editor.
\item TeXStudio preferred: \href{http://www.texstudio.org/}{Download here}
\item Install on Ubuntu: \verb+sudo apt-get install texstudio+
\item You can use any other \LaTeX installation of your choice, but \verb+TexLive Full+ install will guarantee that all required packages are installed.
\item In case you are having trouble using \LaTeX on your machine, simply create an account at \href{https://www.sharelatex.com/}{ShareLaTeX} and create a new project and upload a zip of this project.
\end{itemize}
\section{Package Options}
Use this template as a basic template to format your report/thesis. The
\verb+cetlyproj+ class can be used by simply using something like this:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[BTech]{cetlyproj}
\end{verbatim}
To change the title page for different degrees just change the option
from \verb+PhD+ to one of \verb+MTech+ or \verb+BTech+. The title page formatting really depends on how large or small your thesis title is. Consequently it might require some hand tuning. Edit your version of \verb+cetlyproj.cls+ suitably to do this.I recommend that this be done once your title is final.
Once again the title page may require some small amount of fine
tuning. This is again easily done by editing the class file.
This sample file uses the \verb+hyperref+ package that makes all
labels and references clickable in PDF files. These are very useful when reading the document online and do not affect the output when the files are printed.
\section{Example Figures and tables}
Fig.~\ref{fig:logos} shows a simple figure for illustration along with
a long caption. The formatting of the caption text is automatically
single spaced and indented. Table~\ref{tab:example} shows a sample
table with the caption placed correctly. The caption for this should
always be placed before the table as shown in the example.
\begin{figure}[htpb]
\begin{center}
\resizebox{50mm}{!} {\includegraphics *{cetly.eps}}
\resizebox{50mm}{!} {\includegraphics *{cetly.eps}}
\caption {Two CoET logos in a row. This is also an
illustration of a very long figure caption that wraps around two
two lines. Notice that the caption is single-spaced.}
\label{fig:logos}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\caption{A sample table with a table caption placed
appropriately. This caption is also very long and is
single-spaced. Also notice how the text is aligned.}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}[c]{|c|l|} \hline
$x$ & $x^2$ \\ \hline
1 & 1 \\
2 & 4 \\
3 & 9 \\
4 & 16 \\
5 & 25 \\
6 & 36 \\
7 & 49 \\
8 & 64 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:example}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\section{Bibliography with BIB\TeX}
It is strongly recommend that you use BIB\TeX\ to automatically generate
your bibliography. It makes managing your references much easier. It
is an excellent way to organize your references and reuse them. You
can use one set of entries for your references and cite them in your
thesis, papers and reports. If you haven't used it anytime before
please invest some time learning how to use it.
A simple example BIB\TeX\ file along in this directory called \verb+refs.bib+. The \verb+cetlyproj.cls+ class package which
is used in this thesis uses the \verb+natbib+ package to format the references along with a customized bibliography style provided as the \verb+apjktu.bst+ file in the directory containing \verb+report.tex+. Documentation for the \verb+natbib+ package should be available in your distribution of \LaTeX. Basically, to cite the author along with the author name and year use \verb+\cite{key}+ where \verb+key+ is the citation key for your bibliography entry. You can also use \verb+\citet{key}+ to get the same effect. To make the citation without the author name in the main text but inside the parenthesis use \verb+\citep{key}+. The following paragraph shows how citations can be used in text effectively.
More information on BIB\TeX\ is available in the book by
\cite{lamport:86}. There are many references~\citep{lamport:86,latexcompanion} that explain how to use
BIB\TeX. Read the \verb+natbib+ package documentation for more
details on how to cite things differently.
Here are other references for example.\citet{einstein:905} shows another example to cite an article.\citet{latexcompanion} illustrates a book with multiple authors. Python~\citep{py:python} is a programming language and is
cited here to show how to cite something that is best identified with a URL. Few more examples for citation are provided in following paragraph.
Two models/mechanisms explaining the effect of ultrasonic vibration on grain refinement have been proposed by \cite{eskin:1998}: cavitation-enhanced heterogeneous nucleation and dendrite fragmentation. The efficiency of the grain refiner strongly depends on the Al alloy composition, namely the Si content, which determines the most suitable Ti/B ratio in the master alloy and the minimum Titanium concentration in the melt, as reported by \cite{sritharan:1997}, which is often difficult to control. Ultrasonic vibration can also be used to refine hypereutectic Al-Si alloys, as demonstrated by \cite{feng:2008}, who obtained equiaxed $\alpha$-Al crystals of around 40mm and homogeneously distributed primary Si phase with average size of 180 mm in AlSi23 alloy.
\section{Other useful \LaTeX\ packages}
The following packages might be useful when writing your thesis.
\begin{itemize}
\item It is very useful to include line numbers in your document.
That way, it is very easy for people to suggest corrections to your
text. I recommend the use of the \texttt{lineno} package for this
purpose. This is not a standard package but can be obtained on the
internet. The directory containing this file should contain a
lineno directory that includes the package along with documentation
for it.
\item The \texttt{listings} package should be available with your
distribution of \LaTeX. This package is very useful when one needs
to list source code or pseudo-code.
\item For special figure captions the \texttt{ccaption} package may be
useful. This is specially useful if one has a figure that spans
more than two pages and you need to use the same figure number.
\item The notation page can be entered manually or automatically
generated using the \texttt{nomencl} package.
\end{itemize}
More details on how to use these specific packages are available along
with the documentation of the respective packages.
