The aim of this article is to present a short outline of early Indian mathematics. I mean to summarize the results and contributions of Indian mathematics which were made in the period from the first civilization in Indian subcontinent to the 5 century AD when classical era of Indian mathematics began. Indus valley civilization The first use of mathematics in the Indian subcontinent was in the ...

the land-locked country of afghanistan has a restricted but relatively diverse ichthyofauna comprising 85 species in 10 families. the fauna is dominated by cyprinidae (50 species) and other ostariophysans (28 species). eight species are endemics to afghanistan within its political boundaries. there are three principal drainage basins: the endorheic amu darya draining to the aral sea with 29 spe...

The history of the Indo-Gangetic river systems from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries can be reconstructed from the meticulous official records of the survey, meteorological and medical departments of the British Government of India. In contrast with the grand sweep of the geological evidence, these records indicate a complex narrative of floods, droughts and channel shifts. ...

Despite longstanding research on the age and formation of the Tibetan Plateau, the controls on the erosional decay of its margins remain controversial. Pronounced aridity and highly localized rock uplift have traditionally been viewed as limits to the dissection of the plateau by bedrock rivers. Recently, however, glacier dynamics and landsliding have been argued to retard headward fluvial eros...

T HE DISASTER IN LEH. Less than 1 week after the catastrophic slow-rise flooding of the Indus River in Pakistan in late July 2010 (Houze et al. 2011), f looding of a different, more sudden type produced a disaster in the city of Leh, India, located 500 km to the east. The town of Leh, located in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir State in India, is a high-altitude cold desert valley, 3,500 ...

Deep sea channel systems are recognized in most submarine fans worldwide as well as in the geological record. The Indus Fan is the second largest modern submarine fan, having a well-developed active canyon and deep sea channel system. Previous studies from the upper Indus Fan have reported several active channel systems. In the present study, deep sea channel systems were identified within the ...
