Sanborn Maps

Los Angeles I had to rely on different sources, but mainly the Sanborn maps and the Los Angeles Times helped me a lot. Though I must say that I used other sources like the Los Angeles Department of City Planning’s OHR’s “How-to” Guide to conducting Historical Research, the Sanborn maps gave more the much-needed information on the historical development of the site (Los Angeles Department of City Planning p1). Furthermore, by using the maps and other resources I gained a lot of experience, especially

design maps in ways never imagined before. Computer programmes exist that allow for different types of data to be stored so that accurate representations can be formed. It has been said that,”Maps are pictures of the world’s land surface, showing its features, resources and the way it has been developed.” (Bondi, et al., 1977) Origins and History The beginnings of Cartography It has been said that Cartography originated thousands of years ago. Wall paintings believed to represent a maps of the

Mapinfo software uses the vector coordinates for virtual mapping. I was assisted by a land surveyor for collecting the vector coordinates of the area covering the new site. I noted the data provided by the land surveyor based on the GPS receiver as excel (.XLS) format and I updated the vector coordinates in the Mapinfo software. CE1.12 In Mapinfo software, I used Raster image option for generating detailed topographical features and calculating the geographical distances and areas. I implemented

Map Reduce Introduction: MapReduce is a simple and powerful programming model which enables development of scalable parallel applications to process large amount of data which is scattered on a cluster of machines. The original implementations of Map Reduce framework had some limitations which have been faced by many research follow up work after its introduction. It is gaining a lot of attraction in both research and industrial community as it has the capacity of processing large data. Map reduce

metric indices. This includes categorical map formatting and setting analysis parameters (sampling strategies and specifying neighbor rule to delineate patches). FRAGSTATS accepts several types of input image data formats, ESRI grid, ArcGIS raster grid, GeoTIFF grid (.tif), ERDAS Imagine grid (.img), SAGA GIS binary format grid (.sdat) and several others. For this study, classified maps with ERDAS Imagine grid (.img) formats used as an input. All input maps were integer grids i.e., each cell assigned

Geographers are known to research both the human and physical geography of foreign lands. They make connections of the information gathered between human and physical geography through their experiences. Geographers must interact with people and be aware of their own views of the world and should aspire to communicate unbiased opinions and understanding of the people’s cultures. In their writing authors ability to understand and work across cultural boundaries is the framework for an individual to

The 5 themes of geography are location, place: human characteristics and physical characteristics, human environmental interaction, movement and region. The country this assignment will be done on is Australia. This country is the 6th largest country in the world. Some things i already know about Australia is that sometimes people might say "oh wow she/he has quite an Australian accent. Witch they do have, they speck English but with an accent. Also one more thing i know is that the Great Barrier

Suman De (2012) details the best practices for establishing ICD-9 and ICD-10 cross-maps in eight steps. First, all systems that utilize ICD-9 codes must be analyzed to identify the specific mapping requirements needed for continued support of those systems (De, 2012). Second, a core mapping team should be formed and consist of knowledgeable

According to Silver and Balmori (2003 48) “Cartography, a term derived from the word for chart (charte) or drawing, has in recent years undergone a radical transformation.” This was identified earlier as Anson (1988 ix) noted “Today the art and science of map making is caught in the throes of a technological revolution which shows no signs of slowing down.” However, advancements in mapping have been associated with scientific developments in mainly the computer and internet technologies. Prior to this, mapping

earth's crust using geophysical methods such as gravity and magnetic surveys. Mining geologists also use geophysics to search new mineral deposits. In areas such as the Nevada Great Basin, geoscientists rely more on geophysical images than on geologic maps. The Great Basin area holds one of the biggest mineral concentrations in the world. Economically, gold is the most prominent commodity. The most important gold deposits are hosted by carbonate rocks, called the Carlin-type and Carlin-like gold deposits
