Your preamble has several sins; but that's not the problem. If you type
\fbox{\includegraphics[scale=0.150,angle=0]{imagefilename.eps}}
TeX will add a frame and you'll realize that the figure has wide blank space around the main part:
How can you do? Add the trim
option; I tried
\includegraphics[scale=0.150,trim=300 450 300 500,clip]{imagefilename.eps}
and the result is
(still with \fbox
to show better the image, remove it when you're satisfied). The four parameters are the length (in PostScript points) to trim from the four sides in the order “left bottom right top”.
Here's a polished version of your document with some comments.

\end{document}
The packages times
and epsfig
are obsolete; the second one should never be used, to substitute the first one load mathptmx
or, better
\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
The option dvips
should never be passed to graphicx
.
For changing the font of captions, use the caption
package. Don't put figure
inside a center
environment and don't use center
inside, but the simple declaration \centering
.
Perhaps something like this, I include teh figure both as a single column figure and as a double column figure spreading across the next page.
I also removed all formatting commands from inside section heads, and removed the "manual" section numbering.
