the goal of this article is to study the shimashki potteries in the saymarreh valley. archaeological surveys conducted in the saymarreh valley shows that the painted pottery tradition of godin iii has become prevalent in the valley during the bronze age and only once, development of this pottery tradition had cracked. this event took place in the phase of godin iii4, which we relate it to the i...

Standardized corpora of undeciphered scripts, a necessary starting point for computational epigraphy, requires laborious human effort for their preparation from raw archaeological records. Automating this process through machine learning algorithms can be of significant aid to epigraphical research. Here, we take the first steps in this direction and present a deep learning pipeline that takes ...

Angle dispersive x-ray diffraction (ADXRD) is a basic non destructive tool for the determination of crystal structure. Energy tunability and high flux are added advantages in using synchrotron radiation (SR) source for ADXRD technique. We have installed an ADXRD beamline (BL-12) on Indus-2, the Indian synchrotron source. Indus-2 is a 2.5GeV, 300mA SR source. The beamline consists of a Si (311) ...

The present study aims to find out an optimum policy for pumping out the optimized volume of groundwater obtained from the authors' earlier Two Level Optimization Model [N.K. Garg, A. Ali, 1998. Two level optimization model for Lower Indus Basin. Agric. Water Manage. 36, 1±21] for the Dadu Canal Command of the Lower Indus Basin. It is shown that the tubewells in this canal command may be operat...

Flood wave propagation in river channel flow can be enunciated by nonlinear equations of motion for unsteady flow. It is difficult to find analytical solution of these non-linear equations. Hence, in this paper verification of the finite element model has been carried out against available numerical predictions and field data. The results of the model indicate a good matching with both Preissma...

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. ...

Low resolution meteorological satellite and high resolution earth resources satellite data have been used to map snowcovered area over the upper Indus River and the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, respectively. For the Indus River early Spring snowcovered area was extracted and related to April through June streamflow from 1967-1971 using a regression equation (r = 0.91). Prediction of the Apr...
