There may not be time to fix this, but I wanted to mention it for future reference.
When plotting a graph with multiple lines, use different symbols, not just different line styles with the same symbol as in the graph below (Fig. 2-1 from your thesis). Differentiating based on the line style alone is difficulty.
(Better yet, use different colors in addition to different symbols. The color should be in addition to the different symbols, in case you encounter a color-blind reader and/or a black-and-white printer.)
Better yet, put the labels directly on the curves rather than using a separate legend. (See e.g. the wonderful book Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Tufte on why legends are bad; basically, they add an unnecessary extra level of indirection.) Unfortunately there is no good plotting software for this, so you have to label the curves manually. In consequence, I only do it for publications.
