In order to make FTP-ing and printing the dissertation easier, it has been divided in subparts. The structure is very straightforward.

front.ps.Z contains the title page, table of contents and so on and the short introduction.
chap1.ps.Z through chap7.ps.Z contain chapters 1 through 7.
concl.ps.Z contains the conclusion, the appendix and the bibliography.
