To do this we use the same measurement procedure in these two software, the least-squares method is applied for the evaluation of the geometrical specifications of the part. The results obtained by the two programs are compared with the nominal values.

Relevant existing data were also acquired and processed to generate DEM, slope, contours, 3D-view and flow accumulations which were used for general reconnaissance and the analysis of the terrain, that is, the topography, landuse and landcover, drainage and some cultural features such as roads and settlements of the LGA. Viewshed analysis, Lines of Sight and 3D view were used to model the best avenue of approach by the military into the LGA. Moreover, the most suitable site for “release point” during military advance which were based on some criteria were also modeled and determined using geospatial techniques. Other military operations such as axis of advance and obstacle crossing were all demonstrated, while the scenario of the real battle ground were modeled and analyzed. The study revealed that only four Original Research Article Isaac et al.; BJAST, 19(6): 1-18, 2017; Article no.BJAST.29669 2 out of the ten routes into Kachia LGA are suitable for advance, while the best release point was found to be located in the southern part of Kaja settlement with area coverage of 18.09km 2 .

This was done in order to ascertain which of the frequency ranges has the highest dielectric constant and least loss factor. The graphs of dielectric constant and loss factor were plotted against the frequency. The results were also used to plot Cole-Cole diagrams. The results revealed that the dielectric constant of methanol is higher at frequency 0.05 GHz and decrease as both frequency and temperature increases. However, as the frequency increases beyond 1.0 GHz the dielectric constant increase as the temperature increases. The results also showed that methanol actually formed a semi-circle which suggested that the solvent indeed exhibits Debye relaxation model. There were some discrepancies observed in the Cole-Cole plots which may just be attributed to the distribution of the relaxation times in the methanol. The researchers conclude that dielectric constant of methanol is higher in megahertz than those in gigahertz. The loss factor on the other hand was small at lower frequencies but as the frequency increases the loss factor also increases to a maximum value. The loss factor however decreased when the frequency increases after attaining its maximum.","PeriodicalId":91221,"journal":{"name":"British journal of applied science & technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47403791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
