Surveying for Civil engineering is a
particular type of surveying known as "land surveying", it is the
detailed study or inspection, as by gathering information through
observations, measurements in the field, questionnaires, or
research of legal instruments, and data analysis in the support of
planning, designing, and establishing of property boundaries.
Land surveying can include associated services such as mapping
and related data accumulation, construction layout surveys,
precision measurements of length, angle, elevation, area, and
volume, as well as horizontal and vertical control surveys, and
the analysis and utilization of land survey data. Surveyors use
various tools to do their work successfully and accurately, such
as total stations, robotic total stations, GPS receivers, prisms, 3D
scanners, radio communicators, handheld tablets, digital levels,
and surveying software.
Survey data can be directly entered into a GIS from digital
data collection systems on survey instruments. When data is
captured, the user should consider if the data should be captured
with either a relative accuracy or absolute accuracy, since this
could not only influence how information will be interpreted but
also the cost of data captured.
In this paper GIS maps were developed depending on the
field surveying data made for a two traverses. First one has ribs
less than 50m length and the other larger than 50m. Each
traverse is holding five times using five equipments and
instruments: Tape, Level, Digital level, Digital theodolite and
Laser tape. Also those maps were drawn by using both of ACAD
and ArcView softwares. Then a detail surveying map was
produced. The precision was computed for both traverses in each
method. Its value is range from 1/140 to 1/10000.
IJRET-V1I1P3 - Remotely Sensed Images in using Automatic Road Map CompilationISAR Publications
High Resolution satellite Imagery is an important source for road network extraction for
roads database creation, refinement and updating. Various sources of imagery are known for their
differences in spectral, spatial, radioactive and temporal characteristics and thus are suitable for
different purposes of vegetation mapping. A number of shape descriptors are computed to reduce
the misclassification between road and other spectrally similar objects. The detected road segments
are further refined using morphological operations to form final road network, which is then
evaluated for its completeness, correctness and quality. The proposed methodology has been tested
on updating on road extraction from remotely-sensed imagery.

MiPlEx - Online Task Planning for Exploration Tasks in Urban TerrainFlorian-Michael Adolf
This presentation shows an online multi-query path planner for exploration tasks planned onboard an unmanned helicopter. While the desirable properties of roadmaps can be exploited in offline path planning, the dynamic nature of exploration scenarios hinders to utilize conventional roadmap planners. Hence, the presented path planning approach utilizes a deterministically sampled roadmap which is dynamically indexed in real time. To address situations of partial terrain knowledge, the roadmap can be extended from its a priori dimensions towards locations of unknown terrain that are outside its original, a priori boundaries. The multi-query property of the planning system allows for combinatorial optimization such that a rapidly acting decisional autonomy is achievable during exploration flights. D*-Lite is used as dynamic heuristic path searcher in order to re-plan efficiently. Inspired by the original work on this path search algorithm, the roadmap graph is augmented with an exploration vertex which steers the exploration behavior of the vehicle. As a result, the presented roadmap guides an unmanned rotorcraft through a priori unknown urban terrain in real time.
Urine samples collected from hospitalized
male and female patients belonging to different age groups
suffering from urinary tract infections were used in the present
study. The samples were subjected to isolate the strains of E.coli.
The isolates were found to be capable of producing biofilm and
Extended Spectrum β –Lactamases (ESBLs) especially of CTX –
M - type. Both male and female affected individuals exhibited
high incidence of E.coli in the urine samples. The overall results
indicated that the biofilm producing E.coli strains with β –
lactamase activity had highest antibiotic resistance
Pruning cycle is one of the most important
operations in tea with a primary objective to replace the old set
of maintenance foliage by a fresh one, so that tea bushes
remain healthy and continue to provide succulent shoots to
manufacture quality tea. An investigation was initiated in
Experimental Farm, Darjeeling Tea Research and
Development Centre, Kurseong, Dist. Darjeeling at 1347 m
a.m.s.l on old chinary tea bushes to evaluate the suitability of
pruning cycles of varying durations and pruning skiffing
sequence on yield and crop distribution. Shoot extension rate,
active and banjhi shoot (shoots with restricted growth), net
photosynthetic rate, leaf water potential, leaf area distribution
and tea yield were measured. Active shoot density decreased
with age, with the corresponding increase in banjhi shoot
density. Net photosynthetic rate and leaf water potential were
highest during the first year and then decreased subsequently
in all pruning cycles. Leaf area index (LAI) increased up to 3rd
year in 4 and 5 year pruning cycles after pruning and reduced
thereafter. The maximum yield was observed in 5 year pruning
cycle in 3rd year after pruning and then reduced with pruning
age. The yield of all pruning cycle were lowest in first year
after pruning which may be attributed to small bushes with
few branches and lower LAI. The maximum yield was also
observed when pruned in December followed by November
which may be due to maximum accumulation of root starch in
December.

This research aimed at studying the main factors
affecting the sustainability of Donor funded projects, in Darfur,
with particular emphasis on the Area Development Scheme
(ADS) in Umm Kaddada Locality/ North Darfur State, as case
study. Different Methods were used to collect the related data.
These include the Participatory Rapid Appraisal (PRA),
observations and interviews with officials in the Central
Beneficiaries Organizations using stratified random sample of
seven village sanduq societies out of 51 societies. Descriptive and
analytical methods were used to analyze the data collected. The
results achieved revealed that despite the withdrawal of the
foreign assistance, the project existed and performed some
activities. Such results are attributed to the approach adopted by
the project which promotes the direct involvement of
beneficiaries in all project phases. Such results are also attributed
to the formation of the mechanism of project sustainability from
the previous government counterparts before the cession of the
foreign support, with continuous financial support from the State
Ministry of Finance. The results achieved also revealed that there
was a lack of progress in the implementation of some activities,
such as that of the central and grass-root beneficiaries’
organizations and the range and pasture. Such results were
attributed to the lack of alternative national support that can
cover the void left by the withdrawal of the external support, the
discontinuous of supervision for the central and grass-root
beneficiaries’ organizations, as well as the absence of effective
professional executive management for the central beneficiaries’
organization.
Present technologies of locking and monitoring the
cargo do not provide effective solution for the situation. A little
corruption among the employees can easily deceive whole
security system. Since the cargo contains materials of high value
and in high quantity, these containers are more prone to the
pilferage and hence to protect the material we need a sound
technique which minimizes the loss due to involvement of the
corrupt employees. The technical work undertaken here aims at
providing a sound mechanism to prevent pilferage in the cargo
containers by implying an electronic lock and having series of
basic security check like swapping the RFID card provided to the
customer, biometric sensor and by entering the password which
is sent at the time of delivery to the customer. Therefore it
minimizes the human interference security of the cargo
containers.
This paper proposes a cost effective method of tracking cargo
mobility using GPS. The system gives current vehicle location
whenever needed with reliable accuracy. The system uses GSM
and GPS Technology, helping in efficient monitoring of the
desired vehicles. The paper also discusses the proposed GPS
based vehicle Tracking System using GSM technology in which
the coordinates are forwarded to Central monitoring system. The
position of the vehicle can be traced on Google / Local maps. The
paper gives functional, Technical description and Software
implementation for the GPS and GSM based Vehicle Tracking
System.
The 21st century has brought with itself a new
revolution in the global realm – the information society, which
has changed the global macroeconomic landscape. The
importance of technology cannot be denied as it has changed the
way we live, the way we work, the way we make decisions and the
way we correspond with each other. Advancements in
Information Communication Technologies not only have the
capability to improve the technological arena, but they also have
the potential to bring about social and economic improvements.
Across the globe, countries have recognized Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) as an effective tool in
catalyzing the economic activity in efficient governance, and in
developing human resources. The role of ICT’s to promote
gender equality and parity in education can be achieved by
targeting their efforts not only towards education itself, but also
towards society’s cultural and institutional framework. For
example, in many countries, parents do not expect their
daughters to have careers outside the home. Consequently, girlchildren
are forced to leave school after completing only a basic
or elementary education. In addition, if the benefits of schooling
for boys far outweigh those for girls, economically disadvantaged
parents will typically choose to send only the boys to school. The
differences in the health, education and standards of behavior
between the men and women of India, all contribute to the
impairment of women’s ability to improve their economic
situation. The continued perception that women are not of value
hinders women’s ability to fully participate in the economy.
Majority of women in India are doing tasks that are not
recognized by Indian society as meaningful and work much
longer hours than men, but much of their work is nurturing, and
therefore not recognized as important. Even when women are
contributing in family income, culturally their work is thought of
as connected to their position as nurturer and therefore is not
recognized as productive. The inequalities that exist among
region, social class and gender prevent the growth of the Indian
economy from improving the lives of many Indian people.
Nowhere is inequality more evident than in the lives of Indian
women, and likewise, there is no sector more affected by the lack
of improvement in social issues. Hence, the use of ICTs to
improve gender equality in education and employment may
initiate a continuous cycle of positive reinforcing feedback effects
between gender equality in employment and economic
development, leading to further improvements in both
The best way to invest your surplus money and
take back the best rate of return among all financial investment
avenues is to invest in the Stock Market. And stock markets give
us the most common, the most successful way of Investment i.e.
Equity shares. We have a fixed Income bearing Securities. But
when it comes to analysis part, the equity shares become the most
difficult part. Equity shares have two great features and that of
Risk lunation inherent in it and the growth that market forces of
demand and supply provide it.
As an investor you should know that what your top priority
as an investor is. There are many ways of doing investment.
Every investment decision has two parts – Risk and Return. The
article is an attempt to improve your ability in the fields of
investments especially for equity shares or equity stock or which
represents the direct ownership securities. So try to know the
intrinsic value of the equity stock, not only mathematically but
try to measure how fundamentally strong the equities going to be
in which you will be investing.
The heat transfer and friction factor were
experimentally investigated in a louvered strip inserted tube in
turbulent flow region. A copper tube of (I.D=28mm, O.D=32mm)
and 900mm length was used. A louvered strip insert with
different geometrical configuration was inserted into the smooth
tube. A uniform heat flux condition was created by wrapping
heating tape of 2500 watt around the test section. Fibre glass
cloth was used as a thermal insulator which surrounds the
heating tape. Outer surface temperature of the tube were
measured at five different equally spaced points of test section by
k-typethermocouples. Two thermocouples were used to measure
the inlet and outlet temperature of water. The Reynolds numbers
were varied in the range of 2500 to 4000 with constant heat flux
of 24 kw/m2 for smooth tube and louvered strip inserted. Nusselt
number and friction factor obtained for louvered strip (with
forward backward arrangement) > Nusselt number and friction
factor for louvered strip (with semi-forward semi-backward
arrangement)> Nusselt number and friction factor for louvered
strip (with forward arrengement).
The batteries used in electric and hybrid vehicles
consists of several cells with voltages between 3.6V battery and
4.2 V in series or parallel combinations of configurations for
obtaining the necessary available voltages in the operation of a
hybrid electric vehicle. How malfunction of a single cell affects
the behavior of the entire battery pack, BMS main function is to
protect individual cells against over-discharge, overload or
overheating. This is done by correct balancing of the cells. In

In this paper we have to design and implement
surveillance system by use of smart sensors like ultrasonic
sensors and pyroelectric infrared sensors (PIR) to detect an
intruder in a home, ATM, Industries, Bank Locker room or a
storehouse. The PIR sensors are placed on the ceiling, and the
ultrasonic sensor module consists of a transmitter and a receiver
which are placed vertically on the wall. We are going to use the
camera to capture images of the people those are coming under
the surveillance area. And we are sending these images to
authorized and related personnel via e-mail to avoid the storage
cost. This system will also help to reduce the power consumption.
Diabetic retinopathy is the cause for
blindness in the human society. Early detection of it prevents
blindness. Image processing techniques can reduce the work of
ophthalmologists and the tools used to detect Diabetic
Retinopathy Patients. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is the
most advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy, and is classified by
the growth of new blood vessels. These blood vessels are
abnormal and fragile, and are susceptible to leaking blood and
fluid onto the retina, which can cause severe vision loss. First,
vessel-like patterns are segmented by using Ridge Strength
Measurement and Watershed lines. The second step is measuring
the vessel pattern obtained [5][10]. Many features that are
extracted from the blood vessels such as shape, position,
orientation, brightness, contrast and line density have been used
to quantitative patterns in retinal vasculature. Based on the seven
features extracted, the segment is classified as normal or
abnormal by using Support Vector Machine Classifier [6][8]. The
obtained accuracy may be sufficient to reduce the workload of an
ophthalmologist and to prioritize the patient grading queues.
Disinfectants play an important role in health careassociated
infection control by either minimizing or preventing
microorganism dissemination. This article to study the
morphological changes which may be related to the lose of
antibiotic resistance after disinfectant exposure using SEM.
Showed all isolates resistant to ampicillin, amoxicillin, cloxacillin,
cephalexin, tetracycline, doxycycline, rifampin, chloramphenicol,
trimethoprim cefotaxime and erythromycin, while one of burn
isolates was susceptible for gentamicin, chloramphenicol and
trimethoprim, and 15 of burn, 6 of wound, 5 of ear, and all urine
isolates were susceptible to gentamicin using Kirby-Bauer
method.
The MICs of four common in use disinfectants (Hexatane,
Dettol, Savlon and Povidone – Iodine) were determined for all
isolates. The results showed that the MICs of Hexatane ranged
from (64–512) µg/ml, Dettol (2048–16384) µg/ml,
Savlon (4096:40960)–(32768:327680) µg/ml and for Povidone –
Iodine MICs were (8192–32768) µg/ml. It has been found that
burn and urine isolates were more resistant to disinfectants than
wound and ear isolates. According to the effect of subMICs of
disinfectants at different exposure patterns on antibiotic
resistance, the results showed lose of resistance to tetracycline,
doxycycline, rifampin, chloramphenicol, cefotaxime and
trimethoprim in %72, %72, %68, %22, %28 and %36 of isolates,
respectively. The results of SEM micrograph showed normal
morphology and small sized bacteria with nub formation on some
of them when exposed to dettol, and shape changes in cells with
bulging in exposed to Povidone-iodine, while elongation and
deformation were recorded in some cells in exposed to
Savlon(chlorohexidine/ cetrimide) and Hexatane (chlorohexidine/
gluconate), respectively.

This project aims at using (PD-MCPWM) Phase
disposition multi carrier pulse width modulation technique to
reduce leakage current in a transformerless cascaded multilevel
inverter for PV systems. Advantages of transformerless PV
inverter topology is as follows, simple structure, low weight and
provides higher efficiency , but however this topology provides a
path for the leakage current to flow through the parasitic
capacitance formed between the PV module and the ground.
Modulation technique reduces leakage current with an added
advantage without adding any extra components.
At various levels of decomposition we can
analysed the supply chain problem. At the first level problem
of supply chain management which is consist of many sub
problems as product design, customer services, logistic
management and others. We can define all the problems as
general and in specific way. These problems come at various
vertical direction of problem decomposition and these are
related with one particular issue for example inventory
management. Other way general problems are horizontal; they
deal with problems which require solving multiple specific
problems for example, ensuring customer service problems
from sales area as well as logistics.
Bell pepper, also known as sweet pepper or a pepper
and capsicum, is a cultivar group of the species Capsicum
annuum. Cultivars of the plant produce fruits in different colors,
including red, yellow, orange, green, chocolate/brown,
vanilla/white, and purple. Bell peppers are sometimes grouped
with less pungent pepper varieties as "sweet peppers“. Bell
peppers are sensitive to an abundance of moisture and excessive
temperatures. The main aim of this project is to determine the
proximate principles of bell pepper. To perform sensory
evaluation of the bell pepper recipe in order to determine it
acceptability in terms of different sensory attributes. To make
oneself familiar with Research Methodology that is reference
work, experimental work, statistical analysis of experimental
data, interpretation of results obtained, writing of project work
and compilation of bibliography in proper order. To study the
biochemical and nutritional profile of bell pepper.The various
proximate principles and physiochemical properties of bell
pepper sample are recorded. To estimate various parameters in
an individual sample of bell pepper with two different colours.
The estimate various nutritional components of bell pepper are
recorded. To estimate their liking on the basis of the taste of two
bell pepper by conducting sensory evaluation. The significance of
the study section is that we get the chance to create a perspective
for looking at the problem. It points out how the study relates to
the larger issues and uses a persuasive rationale to justify the
reason for the study. The significance of the study makes the
purposes worth pursuing. In a project to identify and analyse the
phytochemical properties of bell pepper were evaluated.The bell
pepper selected fruit were greenish-reddish in color and firm
feeling.The study suggests that red and green bell pepper has
equal nutritive value and infact the red bell pepper has more
culinary uses and is more spicy and tastier than green bell
pepper. We have done proximate analysis and also antimicrobial
activity was done to check the minimal inhibitory concentration
and sensory evaluation have also done for the sample the results
obtained was Determination of various nutritive and
phytochemical properties of the fruit extracts have been
determined. These active fruit extract may be further subjected
to biological and pharmacological investigation and other
therapeutic compounds
The objective of this present work is to estimate
the deflection, stress and mode frequency induced in the leaf
spring of an army jeep design by the ordinance factory. The
emphasis in this project is on the application of computer aided
analysis using finite element concept.
The leaf spring, which we are analyzing, is a specially
designed leaf spring used in military jeeps. This spring is
intended to bare heavy jerks and vibrations reduced during
military operations. A model of such jeep has been shown in this
project report.
In analysis part the finite element of leaf spring is created
using solid tetrahedron elements, appropriate boundary
conditions are applied, material properties are given and loads
are applied as per its design, the resultant deformation, mode
frequencies and stresses obtained are reported and discussed
The main objective of this study is to
verification of stresses developed in cantilever beam. The
maximum stress is induced in the cantilever beam is at support
and failure of beam takes place at support .Hence in this work
evaluation of stresses in cantilever beam over a span is studied
using finite element method and strain gauge technique. The
stress and deflection analysis at different section is carried out.
The result of finite element method is verified with
experimental and analytical solution
Without water, humans cannot live. Since time began,
we have lived by the water and vast tracts of waterless land have
been abandoned as it is too difficult to inhabit. At any given
moment, the earth’s atmosphere contains 4,000 cubic miles of
water, which is just 0.000012% of the 344 million cubic miles of
water on earth. Nature maintains this ratio via evaporation and
condensation, irrespective of the activities of man.
There is a certain need for an alternative to solve the water
scarcity. Obtaining water from the atmosphere is nothing new -
since the beginning of time, nature’s continuous hydrologic cycle
of evaporation and condensation in the form of rain or snow has
been the sole source and means of regenerating wholesome water
for all forms of life on earth.
An effective method to generate water is by the separation of
moisture present in air by condensation. In this study, the water
present in air is condensed on the surface of a container and then
collected in an external jacket provided on the container.
Insulations are provided to optimize the inner temperature of the
container.
The method is although uncommon but has certain advantages
which make it a success. The process is economical and does not
require a lot of utilities. It also helps in further reducing the
carbon footprint.

Laser Scanning
Laser scanning is an emerging data acquisition technology that has remarkably broadened its
application field and has been a serious competitor to other surveying techniques. Due to rapid
technological development, the increased accuracy of global positioning systems and improving
demands to even more accurate digital surface models, airborne laser scanning showed
significant development in the 1990s.
Somewhat later terrestrial laser scanning became a reasonable alternative method in many kinds

Airborne laser scanning is an active remote sensing technology that is able to rapidly collect data
from huge areas. The resulted dataset can be the base of digital surface and elevation models.
Airborne laser scanning is often coupled with airborne imagery, therefore the point clouds and
images can be fused resulting enhanced quality 3D product.
The basic principle is as follows: the sensor emits a laser pulse through the terrain in a
predefined direction and receives the reflected laser beam. Knowing the speed of light, the
distance of the object can be calculated, see Figure 1.
Figure 1.: Time of flight laser range measurement [2]
Airborne LiDAR systems are composed by the following subsystems:
The components are shown in Figure 2
Figure 2.: Principle of airborne LiDAR [2]
2. Sensors, equipment
Sensors can be distinguished based on the scanning method, i.e. how the laser beam is directed
through the surface. The four most widely used sensor types are shown in Figure 4.2.3.
Figure .3: Scanning mechanisms [1]
As it is clearly seen in Figure 3, different kinds of mechanisms are applied by the different types
of sensors; each has its advantages and shortcomings, e.g. number of moving parts, type of
rotation etc. that lead to different kinds of error sources.
The capabilities (repetition rate, scan frequency, scan angle, point density) of the above scanners
are very similar; the main difference lies in the scanning pattern, as seen in Figure 4. The most
widely used oscillating mirror scanners produce the zigzag pattern. Spacing along the line
depends on the pulse rate and scanning frequency, while spacing along the flight direction
depends on the flying speed. To avoid too wide spacing of points along flight direction, LiDAR
flights are usually slower (e.g. at 60-80 m/sec) compared to that of photogrammetric flights
(even 120-160 m/sec). Careful planning of the measurement results in rather homogenous
density, however, due to technical and microelectronic reasons (regarding the operating
mechanism of the mirror, especially in case of oscillating mirrors), higher point density can be
observed at the edges of the scan swath. Previously, critics were addressed to the fixed optic
scanners, i.e. the parallel scan lines along the flight direction can miss sizeable objects, but
vendors successfully responded and modified the mechanis.

Recent joint surgery studies reveal increased
revisions and resurfacing of the metal on metal hip joints. Metal
on metal hip implants were developed more than thirty years ago
and their application has been refined because of availability of
advanced manufacturing techniques and partly by advancements
in material science and engineering. Development of composite
materials may provide greater durability to metal-on-metal hip
implants .This review article is a study of the latest literature of
metal-on-metal hip implants and its various modeling techniques.
Numbers of methods are used for convergence and numerical
solution to investigate the performance of metal-on-metal hip
implant for accurate stable solution. This paper presents analysis
done by various researchers on metal-on-metal hip implants for
wear, lubrication, fatigue, bio-tribo-corrosion, design, toxicity
and resurfacing. After in vivo and in vitro studies, it is found that
all these methods have limitations. There is a need of more
insight for lubrication analysis, geometry of bearings, materials
and input parameters. The information provided in this work is
intended as an aid in the assessment of metal-on-metal hip joints.
Background Hospital contributes significantly tangible and intangible resources on a concurred plan by the scheduling of surgery on the OT list. Postponement decreases efficiency by declining throughput leads to wastage of resources hence burden to the nation. Patients and their family face economic and emotional implication due to the postponement. Postponement rate being a quality indicator controls check mechanism could be developed from the results. Postponement of elective scheduled operations results in inefficient use of the operating room (OR) time on the day of surgery. Inconvenience to patients and families are also caused by postponements. Moreover, the day of surgery (DOS) postponement creates logistic and financial burden associated with extended hospital stay and repetitions of pre-operative preparations to an extent of repetition of investigations in some cases causing escalated costs, wastage of time and reduced income. Methodology A cross-sectional study was done in the operation theaters of a tertiary care hospital in which total ten operation theaters of General Surgery Data of scheduled, performed and postponed surgeries was collected from all the operation theater with effect from March 1st to September 30th, 2018. A questionnaire was developed to find out the reasons for the postponement for all hospital’s stakeholders (surgeons, Anesthetist, Nursing Officer) and they were further evaluated time series analysis of scheduling of Operation Theater for moving average technique. Results Total 958 surgeries were scheduled and 772 surgeries performed were and 186 surgeries were postponed with a postponement rate of 19.42% in the cardiac surgery department during the study period. Month-wise postponement Rate exponential smoothing of time series data shows the dynamic of operating suits. To test throughput Postponement rate was plotted the postponed surgeries and on regression analysis is in a perfect linear relationship.

In the present paper the experimental study of
Nanotechnology involves high cost for Lab set-up and the
experimentation processes were also slow. Attempt has also
been made to discuss the contributions towards the societal
change in the present convergence of Nano-systems and
information technologies. one cannot rely on experimental
nanotechnology alone. As such, the Computer- simulations and
modeling are one of the foundations of computational
nanotechnology. The computer modeling and simulations
were also referred as computational experimentations. The
accuracy of such Computational nano-technology based
experiment generally depends on the accuracy of the following
things: Intermolecular interaction, Numerical models and
Simulation schemes used. The essence of nanotechnology is
therefore size and control because of the diversity of
applications the plural term nanotechnology is preferred by
some nevertheless they all share the common feature of control

Solar cell absorber Kesterite- type Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films have been prepared by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD). UV–vis absorption spectra measurement indicated that the band gap of as-synthesized CZTS was about1.68 eV, which was near the optimum value for photovoltaic solar conversion in a single-band-gap device. The polycrystalline CZTS thin films with kieserite crystal structure have been obtained by XRD. The average of crystalline size of CZTS is 27 nm
Multilevel inverters play a crucial part in the
areas of high and medium voltage applications. Among the three
main multilevel inverters used, the capacitor clamped multilevel
inverter(CCMLI) has advantage with respect to voltage
redundancies. This work proposes a switching pattern to improve
the performance of chosen H-bridge type CCMLI over
conventional CCMLI. The PWM technique used in this work is
Phase Opposition Disposition PWM(PODPWM). The
performance of proposed H-bridge type CCMLI is verified
through MATLAB-Simulink based simulation. It has been
observed that the THD is low in chosen CCMLI compared to
conventional CCMLI.

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural
disasters in Nigeria. The impact of flooding on human activities
cannot be overemphasized. It can threaten human lives, their
property, environment and the economy. Different techniques
exist to manage and analyze the impact of flooding. Some of these
techniques have not been effective in management of flood
disaster. Remote sensing technique presents itself as an effective
and efficient means of managing flood disaster. In this study,
SPOT-10 image was used to perform land cover/ land use
classification of the study area. Advanced Space borne Thermal
Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) image of 2010 was
used to generate the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The image
focal statistics were generated using the Spatial Analyst/
Neighborhood/Focal Statistics Tool in ArcMap. The contour map
was produced using the Spatial Analyst/ Surface/ Contour Tools.
The DEM generated from the focal statistics was reclassified into
different risk levels based on variation of elevation values. The
depression in the DEM was filled and used to create the flow
direction map. The flow accumulation map was produced using
the flow direction data as input image. The stream network and
watershed were equally generated and the stream vectorized. The
reclassified DEM, stream network and vectorized land cover
classes were integrated and used to analyze the impact of flood on
the classes. The result shows that 27.86% of the area studied will
be affected at very high risk flood level, 35.63% at high risk,
17.90% at moderate risk, 10.72% at low risk, and 7.89% at no
risk flood level. Built up area class will be mostly affected at very
high risk flood level while farmland will be affected at high risk
flood level. Oshoro, Imhekpeme, and Weppa communities will be
affected at very high risk flood inundation while Ivighe, Uneme,
Igoide and Iviari communities will be at risk at high risk flood
inundation level. It is recommended among others that buildings
that fall within the “Very High Risk” area should be identified
and occupants possibly relocated to other areas such as the “No
Risk” area.

The success rate of real estate project is
decreasing as there is large scale of project and participation of
entities. It is necessary to study the risk factors involved in the
project. This paper focused on types of risks involved in the
project, risk factors, risk management tools & techniques.
Identification of risk of the project in terms of the total cost of the
project has been divided under Technical, Financial, Sociopolitical
and Statutory cost centers. Large real estate projects
have to tackle the following issues: land acquisition, skilledlabour
shortage, non-availability of skilled project managers, and
mechanization of the construction process to cater to the growing
demands. Non- availability of supporting infrastructure, political
issues like instability of the government leading to regulatory
issues, social issues, marketing forms an important part in these
projects as this is a onetime investment and the purchase cycle is
long , long development period makes the same project be at
different points in the real estate value cycle.

- Security is a concept similar to being cautious
or alert against any danger. Network security is the condition of
being protected against any danger or loss. Thus safety plays a
important role in bank transactions where disclosure of any data
results in big loss. We can define networking as the combination
of two or more computers for the purpose of resource sharing.
Resources here include files, database, emails etc. It is the
protection of these resources from unauthorized users that
brought the development of network security. It is a measure
incorporated to protect data during their transmission and also
to ensure the transmitted is protected and authentic.
Security of online bank transactions here has been
improved by increasing the number of bits while establishing the
SSL connection as well as in RSA asymmetric key encryption
along with SHA1 used for digital signature to authenticate the
user
Background: Septoplasty is a common surgical
procedure performed by otolaryngologists for the correction of
deviated nasal septum. This surgery may be associated with
numerous complications. To minimize these complications,
otolaryngologists frequently pack both nasal cavities with
different types of nasal packing. Despite all its advantages,
nasal packing is also associated with some disadvantages. To
avoid these issues, many surgeons use suturing techniques to
obviate the need for packing after surgery.
Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of trans-septal
suture technique in preventing complications and decreasing
morbidity after septoplasty in comparison with nasal packing.
Patients and methods: Prospective comparative study. This
study was conducted in the department of Otolaryngology -
Head and Neck Surgery, Rizgary Teaching Hospital - Erbil,
from the 6th of May 2014 to the 30th of November 2014.
A total of 60 patients aged 18-45 years, undergoing septoplasty,
were included in the study. Before surgery, patients were
randomly divided into two equal groups. Group (A) with transseptal
suture technique was compared with group (B) in which
nasal packing with Merocel was done. Postoperative morbidity
in terms of pain, bleeding, postnasal drip, sleep disturbance,
dysphagia, headache and epiphora along with postoperative
complications including septal hematoma, septal perforation,
crustation and synechiae formation were assessed over a follow
up period of four weeks.
Results: Out of 60 patients, 37 patients were males (61.7%)
and 23 patients were females (38.3%). Patients with nasal
packing had significantly more postoperative pain (P<0.05)><0.05). There was no significant difference between
the two groups with respect to nasal bleeding, septal
hematoma, septal perforation, crustation and synechiae
formation.
Conclusion: Septoplasty can be safely performed using transseptal
suturing technique without nasal packing.
The basic reason behind the need to
monitor water quality is to verify whether the examined
water quality is suitable for intended usage or not. This
study is conducted on Al -Shamiya al- sharqi drain in
Diwaniya city in Iraq to make valid assessment for the
level of parameters measured and to realize their effects
on irrigation. In order to assess the drainage water
quality for irrigation purposes with a high accuracy, the
Irrigation Water Quality Index (IWQI) will be examined
and upgraded (integrated with GIS) to make a
classification for drainage water. For this purpose, ten
samples of drainage water were taken from different ten
location of the stuay area. The collected samples were
analyzed chemically for different elements which affect
water quality for irrigation.These elements are :
Calcium(Ca+2), Sodium(Na+
), Magnesium(Mg+2),
Chloride( ), Potassium(K+
), Bicarbonate(HCO3),
Nitrate(NO3), Sulfate( , Phosphate( , Electrical
Conductivity(EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) and pH-values (PH). Sodium
Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and Sodium Content (Na%)
have been also calculated. Results suggest that, the use of
GIS and Water Quality Index (WQI) methods could
provide an extremely interesting as well as efficient tool
to water resource management. The results analysis of
(IWQI) maps confirms that: 52% of the drainage water
in study area falls within the "Low restriction" (LR) and
47%of study area has water with (Moderate
restriction)(MR),While 1% of drainage water in the
study area classified as (Sever restriction) (SR). So, the
drainage water should be used with the soil having high
permeability with some constraints imposed on types of
plant for specified tolerance of salts

Baylis-Hillman reaction has been achieved on
different organic motifs but with completion times of three to
six days. Micellar medium of CTAB in water along with the
organic base DABCO has been used to effect the BaylisHillman
reaction on a steroidal nucleus of Withaferin-A for the
first time with different aromatic aldehydes within a day to
synthesize a library of BH adducts (W1a –W14a) and (W1bW14b)
as a mixture of two isomers and W15 as a single
compound. The isomers were separated on column and the
major components were chosen for bio-evaluation. Cytotoxic
activity of the synthesized compounds was screened against a
panel of four cancer cell lines Lung A-549, Breast MCF-7,
Colon HCT-116 and Leukemia THP-1 along with 5-florouracil
and Mitomycin-C as references. All the compounds exhibited
promising activity against screened cell lines and were found to
possess enhaunced activity than parent compound. BH adducts
with aromatic systems having methoxy and nitro groups were
found to be more active.
This paper presents the details on the
experimental investigation carried out to get the desired fresh
properties of the SCC. Tests were performed on various mixtures

quantity of water and sand the mortar mix was prepared. Later
varying percentage of coarse aggregate was added to the mortar
to obtain the desired SCC.
Many people in Africa depend on water from
rivers and borehole, but purity of the drinking water from these
sources remains questionable. Mudzira River being the longest
River in a village called Vimtim located in Mubi North Local
government area in Adamawa State was studied in the months of
September to December, 2012 to ascertain the suitability of the
water for human consumption and other related uses. Five study
point: inlet (A, B), middle (C) and out let (D, E) were adopted for
monitoring the physico-chemical parameters using standard
procedures. The mean total temperature values were A (25.000C),
B (24.500C), C (25.500C), D (24.000C) and E (24.000C. Average P
H
values were A (8.00), B (7.87), C (8.20) D (8.37) and E (8.13). The
average conductivity values were A (73.90

), B
(73.11
1 cms
), D (74.00
1 cms
) and E (73. 80
1 cms
). The
average total dissolves solid value of each sample were A (17.10),
B (17.10), C (20.00) D (21.64) and E (21.60.). The average
turbidity value of sample were A (47.00), B (47.00), C (50.00) D
(53.00) and E (50.00). Average total hardness value are A
(20.00mg/l), B (20.00mg/L) C (24.00mg/L), D (20.00mg/L) and E
(20.00mg/L). The average chloride content were A (12mg/L), B
(16mg/L), C (12 mg/L) D (16mg/L) and E (16mg/L). The average
calcium content were A (0.3mg/L) B (0.4mg/L), C (0.3mg/L), D
(0.3mg/L) and E (0.2mg/L). The average content of magnesium
were A (12mg/L), B (16mg/L), C (16Mg/L), D (12mg/L), E
(12mg/L). The lead content of River Mudzira water was
negligible. The mean coliform count were A (4), B (3), C (6), D
(7), and E (4).The values of the parameters studied were within
the WHO/NAFDAC recommended standards, excepts for total
coliform levels. In conclusion Vimtim residents consuming
untreated water from River Mudzira are potentially exposed to
possible acute, sub chronic or even chronic water borne diseases
like typhoid fever, dysentery, diarrhea etc.

ERROR ESTIMATION IN DEVELOPING GIS MAPS
USING DIFFERENT INPUT METHODS OF LAND
SURVEYING

ABSTRACT- Surveying for Civil engineering is a
particular type of surveying known as "land surveying", it is the
detailed study or inspection, as by gathering information through
observations, measurements in the field, questionnaires, or
research of legal instruments, and data analysis in the support of
planning, designing, and establishing of property boundaries.
Land surveying can include associated services such as mapping
and related data accumulation, construction layout surveys,
precision measurements of length, angle, elevation, area, and
volume, as well as horizontal and vertical control surveys, and
the analysis and utilization of land survey data. Surveyors use
various tools to do their work successfully and accurately, such
as total stations, robotic total stations, GPS receivers, prisms, 3D
scanners, radio communicators, handheld tablets, digital levels,
and surveying software.
Survey data can be directly entered into a GIS from digital
data collection systems on survey instruments. When data is
captured, the user should consider if the data should be captured
with either a relative accuracy or absolute accuracy, since this
could not only influence how information will be interpreted but
also the cost of data captured.
In this paper GIS maps were developed depending on the
field surveying data made for a two traverses. First one has ribs
less than 50m length and the other larger than 50m. Each
traverse is holding five times using five equipments and
instruments: Tape, Level, Digital level, Digital theodolite and
Laser tape. Also those maps were drawn by using both of ACAD
and ArcView softwares. Then a detail surveying map was
produced. The precision was computed for both traverses in each
method. Its value is range from 1/140 to 1/10000.
Keywords: ACAD, GIS, Land Surveying, Mapping, and
Traversing.
I. INTRODUCTION
People have used maps for centuries to represent their
environment. Maps are used to show locations, distances,
directions and the size of areas. Maps also display geographic
relationships, differences, clusters and patterns. Maps are used
for navigation, exploration, illustration and communication in
public and private sectors. Nearly every area of scientific
enquiry uses maps in some form or another. Maps, in short,
are an indispensable tool for many aspects of professional and
academic work (Ibraheem 1997).
The rapid technological changes in surveying and
geographic information system (GIS), is mainly the result of
the recent explosion in information technology and is closely
correlated with the general development of science and
engineering. Looking back over the last few decades in
surveying works and GIS, can be distinguished great
development in several areas. The general development, in
particular electronics and computer technology , undoubtedly
has opened a new advances in GIS in the areas of
instrumentation, methodology, and integration, many fields in
surveying are now became applicable like the production of
digital maps. GIS has benefited greatly from developments in
various fields of computing. Better database software allows
the management of vast amounts of information that is
referenced to digital maps. Computer graphics techniques
provide the data models for storage, retrieval and display of
geographic objects. Advanced visualization techniques allow
us to create increasingly sophisticated representations of our
environment (Ibraheem et.al, 2012).
New information sources also shorten the time from
project planning to operational database. The most important
recent developments have been in navigation and remote
sensing. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has
revolutionized field data collection in areas ranging from
surveying to environmental monitoring and transportation
management. A new generation of commercial, high-
resolution satellites promises pictures of nearly any part of the
earth's surface with enough detail to support numerous
mapping applications. The cost of precision digital mapping
will fall significantly as a result of the close integration of
GPS techniques and digital cameras in aerial photography.
Today, in the digital and computerized era, updating of
digital databases, in theory and in practice, is evolving for a
wide range of applications, in addition to mapping purposes.
Several methods are in use: establishing a new GIS database,
by re-mapping rather than digitizing existing maps; producing
huge, unique and unified databases in large scale; working on
large-scale updating and maintenance. The main approach
lately, involves automatic change detection and incremental
updating and versioning. This means automatically detecting,
identifying and updating only these changes, which have
occurred on the earth surface.
The requirement for maintaining up-to-date spatial data
originates both from the end-user and from the information
provider, since inability to do so may result in user reluctance
to utilize the data. It involves the ability to optimize the
integration of updated data into existing data sets, while
upgrading it, preserving the uniform inner structure of the
database.

ground surveying now are capable of printing output data in
machine-readable language for computer input and/or
combining distance and angle measurements for direct
readout of horizontal and vertical distances to the nearest
0.001 of a centimeter. The incorporation of data collectors
and electronic field books with interfaces to computer, printer,
and plotter devices has resulted in the era of total station
surveying.
The recent refinement in global positioning systems and
techniques developed for military navigation has led to yet
another dramatic change in surveying instrumentation. Inertial
surveying, with its miniaturized packaging of accelerometers
and gyroscopes and satellite radio surveying have already
revolutionized geodetic control surveying and promises to
impact all phases of the surveying process. (Roy, 1999)
III. LAND SURVEYING FIELD WORKS
Traverse is a method in the field of surveying to establish
control networks. It is also used in geodetic work. Traverse
networks involved placing the survey stations along a line or
path of travel, and then using the previously surveyed points
as a base for observing the next point. Traverse networks have
many advantages of other systems, including (16):
1. Less reconnaissance and organization needed
2. While in other systems, which may require the survey
to be performed along a rigid polygon shape, the
traverse can change to any shape and thus can
accommodate a great deal of different terrains
3. Only a few observations need to be taken at each
station, whereas in other survey networks a great deal
of angular and linear observations need to be made
and considered
4. Traverse networks are free of the strength of figure
considerations that happen in triangular systems
5. Scale error does not add up as the traverse as
performed. Azimuth swing errors can also be reduced
by increasing the distance between stations.
6. The traverse is more accurate than triangulation and
trilateration, and sometimes even triangulation.
IV. SURVEYING BY CLOSE-COMPASS TRAVERSE
(POLYLINE)
To demonstrate the effect of traverse length on the
accuracy of the work, two traverses would be taken. One has
ribs less than 50m and the other larger than 50m. Each
traverse is hold five times using five equipments and
instruments:
1. Tape
2. Level
3. Digital level
4. Digital theodolite
5. Laser tape
Using the rules for precision of traverse bearings and
distances, and propagation of variances, allows the estimation
of precisions of the closing line of a traverse. These can be
compared with actual misclosures to assess the quality of a
traverse. Error in the measurement of angle occurs because of
instrumental, personal or natural factors. The instrumental
errors have been dealt with and, as indicated, can be
minimized by taking several measurement of the angle on
each face of the theodolite. Regular calibration of the
equipment is also prime importance. Figures (1) and (2) show
the first step in traversing.
Figure (1): Direction of the first rib in the small traverse
with respect to the north direction.
Figure (2): Direction of the first rib in the large traverse
with respect to the north direction.
The precision of a traverse is expressed as the ratio of
linear misclosure divided by the traverse perimeter length. It is
usually a short line of unknown length and direction
connecting the initial and final traverse stations:

Tan θ = … (2)
V. RELATIVE ACCURACY
The Accuracy Standards for ALTA/ASCM Land Title
Surveys define Relative Positional Accuracy as "the value
expressed in feet or meters that represents the uncertainty due
to random errors in measurements in the location point on a
survey relative to any other point on the same survey at the 95
percent confidence level”. Thus relative accuracy compares

VI. ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS
A. Taping method
When looking at the two tables above we note that the tape is
more accurate when it was used with small traverse (each
ribs<50m)
The major reason that decreases the accuracy in the
large traverse is the non accurate angles where determined by
the cosine law as shown below:
Angle … (4)
where:
a=3m
b=3m
c=the chord of the angle, which determined by tape.
The acceptable accuracy in the small traverse back to
the ability to take a surely straight line between points, the
thing that cannot be achieved in the large traverse. Therefore
we must use poles in the large traverse to take approximate
straight line between points.
That’s mean the very small error in the cord results a
large error in angle, which decrease the accuracy as shown in
table (2) above.
B. Traversing by Level and Digital level instruments
Two reasons of error happened when level and digital level
had been used in natural conditions:
1. Cannot take the true angle because the level has an
integer angles and we must estimate the angle that
may lie between two lines.
2. When measure angles you cannot surely that the
poles are perpendicular or not.
C. Traversing by Digital theodolite
The digital theodolite is the better instrument for determining
angles because you can dispense poles and measure angles
from nail to nail, so you can approximately eliminate the error
that may happen in angles. Thus the error will result in length
mostly.
Table (2) above shows that the accuracy obtained in
large traverse is better than the small traverse. This happened
because of the ability to show the nails in large traverse
compared with the obstacles in the small traverse.
D. Traversing by Laser tape
The reasons of error are the same at the tape above as well as
the error of the instrument itself especially when used with
large traverse. Also Laser tape is not designed to achieve
outdoor works and we are using it in surveying works.
Figure (3) shows the relationship between the
surveying methods and the relative accuracy dH/H of the
small traverse. And Figure (4) shows the relationship between
the surveying methods and the relative accuracy dH/H of the
small traverse. Then figure (5) shows the comparison between
them.

VII. DIGITAL TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING
A topographic map is a type of map characterized by
large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief,
usually using contour lines in modern mapping, but
historically using a variety of methods. Traditional definitions
require a topographic map to show both natural and man-made
features. A topographic map is typically published as a map
series, made up of two or more map sheets that combine to
form the whole map. A contour line is a combination of two
line segments that connect but do not intersect; these represent
elevation on a topographic map. Figure (6) shows an example
of the topographic map (Roy, 1999).
The digital map is not just a computer-readable file of
map data. Visvalingam (1989) proposed that the term implies
"a compact, structured, integrated and elegant representation
of spatial data and their spatial attributes in a manner that
facilitates rapid inference and retrieval and speedy but error-
free update of data. This implies pre-processing and
substantial restructuring of input data so that the digital post-
processing system may infer spatial forms, relationships and
patterns in a way, which matches, and if possible surpasses,
human information processing capabilities". This definition
excludes uninterrupted raster and video-scanned images and
spaghetti vectors, despite their value and use as visual maps.
The full benefits of digital mapping can only be realized
when the required data are already in computer-readable form.
There is now a large primary sector within the computer
mapping industry, which is mainly concerned with the
collection, processing, validation, maintenance and
distribution of spatial data. Both in theory and in practice the
map database has become the ultimate reference map - the
digital map, which is a commercial product in its own right
(Visvalingam, 1989).

network analysis; allow Web activation of ArcView maps, and
support advanced display features such as three-dimensional
data visualization. (ESRI, 2015).
In this paper we produced a digital map by utilization of
geographic information system GIS and land surveying data
for two traverses selected in the site of Al-Nahrain
Uninversity. These two traverses are different in lengths: the
sides of the first traverse are short and its length ranging from
20 to 50 meters. While the sides of the second traverse are
ranging from 70 to 180 meters. These differences are useful
for studying the accuracy of the developed map if it depends
on the accuracy of the field work or not.
VIII. COORDINATES OF TRAVERSES

ArcView 3.2 and AutoCAD 14. The required coordinates
were calculated of the points of the traverses using
equipments and tools by different methods of surveys.
A. Coordinates of Large Traverses
The final grid coordinates from the calculations for each
method of the survey will be used to draw the large traverses
as a digital map.

IX. COMPUTING MAP ACCURACY
Thematic maps are produced for a wide variety of
resources: soil types or properties, land cover, land use, forest
inventory, and many more. These maps are not very useful
without quantitative statements about their accuracy. Map
users must know the quality of the map for their intended uses,
and map producers must evaluate the success of their mapping
efforts. Both users and producers may want to compare
several maps to see which the best is, or to see how well they
agree. For maps on publication scales larger than 1:20,000, not
more than 10 percent of the points tested shall be in error by
more than 1/30 inch, measured on the publication scale; for
maps on publication scales of 1:20,000 or smaller, 1/50 inch.
These limits of accuracy shall apply in all cases to positions of
the two traverses. In general what is well defined will be
determined by what is plot-able on the scale of the map within
1/100 inch. Similarly, features not identifiable upon the
ground within close limits are not to be considered as test
points within the limits quoted, even though their positions
may be scaled closely upon the map.
By comparing the positions of points whose locations are
shown upon it with corresponding positions as determined by
surveys of a higher accuracy. Depending on the scale of the
map, the actual ground distance represented by 1/30th
and
1/50th
of an inch will vary. To determine the minimum
standards for horizontal accuracy in actual ground meters, the
following calculation must be performed.
• If larger than 1:20,000-scale, use this calculation: 0.03333 x
scale x 2.54 / 100 = ground meters.
• If 1:20,000-scale or smaller, use this calculation: 0.02 x scale
x 2.54 / 100 = ground meters.
X. CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusion can be drawn based on the findings
and analysis of this study:
1. To demonstrate the effect of traverse length on the
accuracy of the traversing work, two traverses would
be taken. One has ribs less than 50m and the other
larger than 50m.
2. Each traverse is hold five times using five
equipments instruments: cloth tape, laser tape,

automatic level, digital level and digital theodolite.
3. When using cloth tape in traversing the error was
.021 m. In the small traverse and 3.919 m. in the
large traverse. The amount of the error in the first
traverse is very good but the error in the second
traverse is not. This error may be happened because
of several cause such as:
a) Non accurate angles due to the use of poles
which results error in the chord of the angle.
b) The presence of obstacles was preventing
the tape to be at the same level.
c) Coefficient of linear expansion of the tape
affects the accuracy of the work.
4. When using automatic level in traversing the error
was 0.221 m. In the small traverse and 1.133 m. in
the large traverse. The amount of the error in both
traverses is very good because the level is not
designed for measuring angles. Anyway the error
may be happened due to several cause such as:
a) personal errors have a significant impact on
the accuracy, especially when determining
the lengths, since the upper and lower stadia
are seen difficulty:
Length = (upper reading – lower reading) × 100
b) The true angle couldn’t take because the
level has integer angles and you must
estimate the angle when lay between two
lines.
c) When measuring angles you cannot surely
that the poles are perpendicular or not.
5. By using digital level in traversing the error was
0.241 m. In the small traverse and 0.467m. in the
large traverse. The amount of the error in both
traverses is very good and it was enhanced in the
second traverse. The error may be happened due to
several cause such as:
a) The rule of the digital level does not
contain bubble so it affects on the
lengths.
b) When measuring angles you cannot
surely if the poles are perpendicular.
6. Using digital theodolite in traversing the error was
0.439 m. In the small traverse and 1.111m. in the
large traverse. The amount of the error in both
traverses is not acceptable for accurate works. The
error may be happened due to several cause such as:
a) Instrument error affect on the lengths
and angles.
b) The presence of obstacles prevents
vision of the nails, so you must use
poles which affect the angles.
c) Our personal errors.
7. When using laser tape in traversing the error was
0.533 m. In the small traverse and 3.774 m. in the
large traverse. The amount of the error in the first
traverse is fair for reconnaissance works, but the error
in the second traverse is not. This error may be
happened due to several cause such as:
a) Instrument error affects on the lengths and
angles, since the angles measured by cos law
(length of the chord affect the angle).
b) The presence of obstacles prevents you to
put the laser tape directly on the nail and
measure. So you must raises it by pedestal,
thus you cannot surely that the laser tape
directly over the nail.

9. AutoCAD drawing program is easier and faster than
ArcView, the large number of tools and commands in
AutoCAD allows the user a lot of options to draw
anything and this is not found in ArcView. GIS is a
database program, and AutoCAD is a graphics
program. With AutoCAD, it’s the lines that are
important, i.e. the drawing is the information. With
GIS, the lines are just a representation of the data
behind it.
