Non-Invasive Transcutaneous Characterisation of Blood Carbon Dioxide Content - PhD Thesis Manuscript

This repository contains all the resources and LaTeX files needed to compile my PhD thesis, which is about the non-invasive transcutaneous characterisation of blood carbon dioxide content.

How to Compile

Dependencies

To be able to compile this manuscript, you will need:

• a working LuaLaTeX compilation toolchain, with lualatex and biber available from the command line. Compilation was tested on MacOS using TeX Live 2023 (TeX Live may be downloaded here). It is strongly recommended to use a complete TeX Live or MiK TeX distribution. In case of partial LaTeX installation, you must satisfy the dependencies listed in the dependencies.dep file. Of note, the versions indicated in this file are indicative only (they correspond to my installation and do not constitute strict requirements). The only mandatory version dependency is that of having PGFPlot 1.18 or higher.
• Ghostscript, which can be installed on Linux via apt-get install ghostscript and on macOS via brew install ghostscript.
• bash, which should already be included with your OS.

Compilation

Simply run the compile_thesis.sh script located at this project's root, you may use the options -f to compile the manuscript's figures, and -m to compile the manuscript itself (figures must be compiled first!). The resulting manuscript can then be found at out/thesis.pdf.
