This tool paper describes a modular program slicer for Java built using the Indus program analysis framework along with it’s Eclipse-based user interface called Kaveri. Indus provides a library of classes that enables users to quickly assemble a highly customized non-system dependence graph based inter-procedural program slicer capable of slicing concurrent Java programs. Kaveri is an Eclipse p...

Abstract Ever since the discovery of Indus valley civilization, scholars have debated linguistic identities its people. This study analyzes numerous archaeological, linguistic, archaeogenetic and historical evidences to claim that words used for elephant (like, ‘pīri’, ‘pīru’) in Bronze Age Mesopotamia, elephant-word Hurrian part an Amarna letter ca. 1400 BC, ivory-word (‘pîruš’) recorded certa...

A flash flood and landslide in the Leh region of the Indus Valley in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir on 5–6 August 2010 resulted in hundreds of deaths and great property damage. Observations have led to the hypothesis that the storm, which formed over the Tibetan Plateau, was steered over the steep edge of the plateau by 500-hPa winds and then energized by the ingestion of lower-level moi...

The Indus basin heavily depends on its upstream mountainous part for the downstream supply of water while downstream demands are high. Since downstream demands will likely continue to increase, accurate hydrological projections for the future supply are important. We use an ensemble of statistically downscaled CMIP5 General Circulation Model outputs for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 to force a cryospheric-...

Habitat fragmentation of freshwater ecosystems is increasing rapidly, however the understanding of extinction debt and species decline in riverine habitat fragments lags behind that in other ecosystems. The mighty rivers that drain the Himalaya - the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus, Mekong and Yangtze - are amongst the world's most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems. Many hundreds of dams have been co...
