The Collapse of the Indus-Script Thesis: The Myth of a Literate Harappan Civilization
Creators: name: Farmer, Steve
name: Sproat, Richard
name: Witzel, Michael
Publisher: name: Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
Year: 2016

description: Archaeologists have long claimed the Indus Valley as one of the four literate centers of the early ancient world, complete with long texts written on perishable materials. We demonstrate the impossibility of the lost-manuscript thesis and show that Indus symbols were not even evolving in linguistic directions after at least 600 years of use. Suggestions as to how Indus symbols were used are noted in nonlinguistic symbol systems in the Near East that served key religious, political and social functions without encoding speech or serving as formal memory aids. Evidence is reviewed that the Harappans' lack of a true script may have been tied to the role played by their symbols in controlling large multilinguistic populations; parallels are drawn to the later resistance of Brahmin elites to the literate encoding of Vedic sources and to similar phenomena in esoteric traditions outside South Asia. Discussion is provided on some of the political and academic forces that helped sustain the Indus-script myth for over 130 years and on ways in which our findings transform current views of the Indus Valley and of literacy in the ancient world in general.

Vala und Iwato: The Myth of the Hidden Sun in India, Japan and beyond
Creators: name: Witzel, Michael
Publisher: name: Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
Year: 2016

description: In this paper two fundamental myths and the related rituals from archaic India and old Japan are compared. Exploring their close mutual relationship offers the chance of taking another look at comparative mythology in a wholly new way. This is not done in the old Frazerian way, certainly not in the manner of the diffusionists such as Frobenius and Baumann, nor with the Indo-European-centered method of Dumézil, not to mention the various psychological approaches of Jung, Campbell, and others, or the structuralism of Lévy-Strauss and his followers. Instead, the approach proposed here reminds of the 19th century historical and comparative approach. The present proposal and methodology has recently, but unwittingly, been called "essentially romantic" as it looks for, and points toward, a common source, that certainly "may no longer exist," as W. Jones put it with regard to the Indo-European parent language.

Number Symbolism in the Vedas
Creators: name: Murthy, S. S. N.
Publisher: name: Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
Year: 2016

description: Numbers became very sacred to all cultures since the time man started feeling the need to use numbers in daily life and started observing that the events related to nature/cosmos had a preference for certain numbers. Thus came a stage when mathematics started evolving along with philosophy. All this activity ultimately led to the evolution of the modern ‘numerology’ (science of numbers), the credit for which goes to Pythagoras. During this process, all cultures, independent of each other, had shown preference for certain numbers in their religious beliefs and activities. Similarly, in the Vedas too, one finds numbers such as 1, 3, 7 and 10 as the most used numbers; at least on a few hundred or perhaps even more than a thousand occasions to describe various events. {The other single digit numerals like 4 and 5 etc. are also preferred although to a lesser extent (Murthy, 2003)}. The symbolism associated with the single digit numerals was very well established in virtually all cultures, since counting began on the ten fingers.

The population of the purs is described by the Vedic people as"black-skinned"; it did not adhere to the Aryan cult.

description: Rates were calculated per 100,000 population for age, sex, year, leading cause of injury and Health Service Delivery Area. Age-specific rates are used throughout the report. Additional analyses were conducted by comparing the age standardized rates over time. To show differences in age structures across regions, rates were standardized using Canada ‘91 population as the standard population. The age-specific rates were calculated by dividing the number of cases in each age group by the population of that specific age group. Age-standardized rates were calculated using a reference population of known age distribution called a standard population to adjust for variations in population age structures among the different Health Authority geographic areas. Regression analysis was used to test the significance for the trends. A p value <0.05 was used to determine significance.

description: The Vedic Pravargya is a ritual that is optiionally performed in connection with a Soma sacrifice. It is a unique Indo-Aryan development, without parallels in Iran or in areas of Indo-Europeans, and it can be traced back as far as 1500 B.C.E. (cf. Houben 2000a and b). The central object in the ritual is an earthenware pot that is placed on a fire until it is burning hot. At that moment the pot is identified with the sun, but also with the inner light of the inspired Vedic poet. As I argued recently (Houben 2006), the myths associated with the Pravargya do have Indo-European parallels, especially in Celtic stories on a magic cauldron (continued in the legend of the Holy Grail).

On the Southern Recension of the Mahābhārata, Brahman Migrations, and Brāhmī Paleography
Creators: name: Mahadevan, Thennilapuram P.
Publisher: name: Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
Year: 2016

description: It is well-known that the Mahābhārata has come down to us in two recensions, the Northern and the Southern. The editors of the Poona Critical Edition (1933-70) of the epic determined, in the process of collating and isolating the archetype of the epic, that its Northern Recension (NR) constitutes in general what is called in textual scholarship the editio simplicior, the naive or the original text, and they created the Critical Edition (CE) from the irreducible archetype of the NR texts, the Śārada codex of the Kashmir region in the northwest of South Asia. They found likewise that the Southern Recension (SR) was generically an editio ornatio, an ornate text, a version made consciously and systematically: all hundred Kaurava brothers get named, all but a few with the pejorative du prefix; the 18 parvans of NR rise to 24 in the SR, with many insertions and transpositions of crucial episodes within parvans (those of Śakuntalā and Yayāti, for example, in the Ādiparvan); further, the SR is overlaid with a Brahmanical ideology, already incipient in the NR.

Ṛgveda 1.28 and the Alleged Domestic Soma-Pressing
Creators: name: Schmidt, Hanns-Peter
Publisher: name: Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
Year: 2016

description: The hymn Ṛgveda 1.28 has attracted much attention because of its obvious use of sexual metaphors and the use of mortar and pestle for pressing Soma. The sexual allusions have been judged as humoristic and lascivious by Geldner and J.J. Meyer, a view vehemently rejected by Lommel. Oliphant considered the hymn as particularly old because of the use of pestle and mortar which has a close parallel in the Zoroastrian Haoma ritual. Witzel closely follows Geldner. The most recent treatment is that of Schlerath who interprets the hymn as a description of the sexual act as a Soma sacrifice

description: "Numerous publications appeared in Russia in the late 1990s related to a series of so-called “rattle-mirrors” unearthed in Scythian burial mounds, mostly in the Altai mountains, South Siberia. The first mirror of this kind was found by the archaeologist Sergei Rudenko in 1947 in a burial chamber inside the Second Pazyryk mound. Its owner was a young woman buried together with a man of a high social rank (probably the ruler of a tribe or union of tribes). On the reverse of the mirror between two (inner and outer) circular rims there are 12 perfectly regular concentric circles obviously drawn with the help of compasses. Between each two circles there is a row of triangles looking like flames of fire or the rays of the sun. It can be maintained with certainty that the whole makes a “solar” design. (...)"

description: Recently, cortical correlates of specific dream contents have been reported, such as the activation of the sensorimotor cortex during dreamed hand clenching. Yet, despite a close resemblance of such activation patterns to those seen during the corresponding wakeful behaviour, the causal mechanisms underlying specific dream contents remain largely elusive. Here, we aimed to investigate the causal role of the sensorimotor cortex in generating movement and bodily sensations during REM sleep dreaming. Following bihemispheric transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) or sham stimulation, guided by functional mapping of the primary motor cortex, naive participants were awakened from REM sleep and responded to a questionnaire on bodily sensations in dreams. Electromyographic (EMG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings were used to quantify physiological changes during the preceding REM period. We found that tDCS, compared to sham stimulation, significantly decreased reports of dream movement, especially of repetitive actions. Other types of bodily experiences, such as tactile or vestibular sensations, were not affected by tDCS, confirming the specificity of stimulation effects to movement sensations. In addition, tDCS reduced EEG interhemispheric coherence in parietal areas and affected the phasic EMG correlation between both arms. These findings show that a complex temporal reorganization of the motor network co-occurred with the reduction of dream movement, revealing a link between central and peripheral motor processes and movement sensations of the dream self. tDCS over the sensorimotor cortex interferes with dream movement during REM sleep, which is consistent with a causal contribution to dream experience and has broader implications for understanding the neural basis of self-experience in dreams.
Unicorns in Ancient India and Vedic Ritual
Creators: name: Vajracharya, Gautama V.
Publisher: name: Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
Year: 2016

description: The art of the Indus Valley civilization is famous for diminutive steatite seals representing bull like unicorns. Did such unicorns really exist in ancient India? This question may not receive scholarly attention because most of the archeologists believe that the creatures are mythical. Our recent investigation, however, indicates that a forest animal with a single horn did exist in ancient India. The name of the animal is ṛśya (ṛṣya in classical Sanskrit), which is mistakenly identified by previous scholars as a male deer or antelope thus blocking the path for further investigation. In order to explain our finding we first carefully observe the artistic representations of the unicorn bull, mainly its single horn, delineated in the seals. Then we will compare the representations with the textual descriptions of the ṛśya and its horn found in the epics and Buddhist literature. This will be followed by evidence derived from two different unexpected sources, material used for making Vedic ritual implements and the symbolic representation of the bifurcated bovine hoof in ancient Indian art.

description: Micro-computed X-ray tomography (MicroCT) is one of the most powerful techniques available for the three-dimensional characterization of complex multi-phase or porous microarchitectures. The imaging and analysis of porous networks are of particular interest in tissue engineering due to the ability to predict various large-scale cellular phenomena through the micro-scale characterization of the structure. However, optimizing the parameters for MicroCT data capture and analyses requires a careful balance of feature resolution and computational constraints while ensuring that a structurally representative section is imaged and analysed. In this work, artificial datasets were used to evaluate the validity of current analytical methods by considering the effect of noise and pixel size arising from the data capture, and intrinsic structural anisotropy and heterogeneity. A novel 'segmented percolation method' was developed to exclude the effect of anomalous, non-representative features within the datasets, allowing for scale-invariant structural parameters to be obtained consistently and without manual intervention for the first time. Finally, an in-depth assessment of the imaging and analytical procedures are presented by considering percolation events such as micro-particle filtration and cell sieving within the context of tissue engineering. Along with the novel guidelines established for general pixel size selection for MicroCT, we also report our determination of 3 μm as the definitive pixel size for use in analysing connectivity for tissue engineering applications.
Towards a framework for reasoning about the performance of component software

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The issues concerning the performance of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components have gained much attention in the research community recently. Predicting the performance of a system constructed from components is beneficial for reasons such as bottleneck identification and performance tuning. However, the research status in this area is still relatively immature. Component technologies such as .NET and Enterprise JavaBeans offer assembling platforms but do not provide any insights into the system performance before construction. In this paper, the Performance Characterisation And Composition (P-CAC) framework is used to address the prediction problem. P-CAC introduces component performance specification using the concept of atomic operations that are derived using traditional algorithmic analysis. We refine the connector set proposed by Mehta et al. [10] by incorporating the connectors’ properties as part of the interface specifications for reasoning about its performance. A web of interacting processes which is the consequence of the properties and configurations of the components/connectors, is then used to deduce the performance of the composed system. We discuss these findings and suggest further research directions.

description: Impulsivity describes the tendency to act prematurely without appropriate foresight and is symptomatic of a number of neuropsychiatric disorders. Although a number of genes for impulsivity have been identified, no study to date has carried out an unbiased, genome-wide approach to identify genetic markers associated with impulsivity in experimental animals. Herein we report a linkage study of a six-generational pedigree of adult rats phenotyped for one dimension of impulsivity, namely premature responding on the five-choice serial reaction time task, combined with genome wide sequencing and transcriptome analysis to identify candidate genes associated with the expression of the impulsivity trait. Premature responding was found to be heritable (h2 = 13-16%), with significant linkage (LOD 5.2) identified on chromosome 1. Fine mapping of this locus identified a number of polymorphic candidate genes, however only one, beta haemoglobin, was differentially expressed in both the founder strain and F6 generation. These findings provide novel insights into the genetic substrates and putative neurobiological mechanisms of impulsivity with broader translational relevance for impulsivity-related disorders in humans.

description: Recently revised ice core chronologies for Greenland have newly identified one of the largest sulfate deposition signals of the last millennium as occurring between 1108 and 1113 CE. Long considered the product of the 1104 CE Hekla (Iceland) eruption, this event can now be associated with substantial deposition seen in Antarctica under a similarly revised chronology. This newly recognized bipolar deposition episode has consequently been deemed to reveal a previously unknown major tropical eruption in 1108 CE. Here we show that a unique medieval observation of a "dark" total lunar eclipse attests to a dust veil over Europe in May 1110 CE, corroborating the revised ice-core chronologies. Furthermore, careful evaluation of ice core records points to the occurrence of several closely spaced volcanic eruptions between 1108 and 1110 CE. The sources of these eruptions remain unknown, but we propose that Mt. Asama, whose largest Holocene eruption occurred in August 1108 CE and is credibly documented by a contemporary Japanese observer, is a plausible contributor to the elevated sulfate in Greenland. Dendroclimatology and historical documentation both attest, moreover, to severe climatic anomalies following the proposed eruptions, likely providing the environmental preconditions for subsistence crises experienced in Western Europe between 1109 and 1111 CE.
Schifffahrt im Rigveda

description: The present study addresses the question of what kind of ships existed that are mentioned in the Rigveda and for what purpose the (semi-) nomadic Ṛgvedic people used it. After all, the word nā́u- f. "ship" is attested in the Rigveda with many of the passages, about a quarter of those found for rátha- m., "chariot". While Wilson, Lassen and Bühler still assumed oceangoing vessels, the prevailing opinion of Western Indology views the Rigvedic naus as small rowing boats or punts, used to cross the numerous Panjab rivers (Klaus, Wasserfahrzeuge, 1989, p. 26). The mention of the miraculous ship of the two Aśvin – flown by self-hitched birds or equipped with a hundred oars – by which they rescued Bhujyu from marine distress, is relegated to the realm of fable and myth (e.g. Lüders p.110f, Zeller p. 67ff, Gotō p. 264ff). An examination of all relevant passages of Ṛgvedic nā́u, however, shows that the Vedic people used the naus to cross rivers; and also that this involved, in part, larger vessels, by which one could transport collapsible chariots and dwellings as well as many people over the sometimes very wide Panjab rivers.

Infinity, the History of Science and Truth.“ He offered it to Harvard University Press as he thought that the Harvard Oriental Series has a somewhat different aim. As for the current paper he wrote to me on 6/18/10: “I would like to put my essay on NVR and the Gonda series on my website”.[www.fritsstaalberkeley.com, 2010] This has not occurred then as far as I know. In 2010 he was also seriously thinking of a reprint or new edition of this NVR book of which he had obtained a pristine copy. He sent me an early version of the current article on 6/28/2010, including the highly important section on the high udātta pitch, in “a new draft,” and on 7/25/2010 “the latest incarnation,” for EJVS. We delayed the publication then as he was occupied with his forthcoming book, and the upcoming Agnicayana at Paññal in 2011; he passed away less than a year later. However, as none of his posthumous works have been published so far I fulfill his wish here. These works, notably his “Cows” book and a short autobiography, are available in computer files with his son Nanoo Frederic. We hope that they will appear in due course." (M. Witzel, 2015)

The Impact of Prevalent Economic Models on United States Supreme Court Securities Regulation Decisions: 1960s Through the 1980s

Supreme Court

description: Economic conditions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including several financial crises and the Great Depression, prompted the United States government to consider varying policy approaches. Keynesian economics, which promoted government regulation and spending, rose to power during the 1930s with the New Deal and remained prominent until the early 1970s, when inflation and distrust of liberal policy prompted a shift toward monetarism, favoring market deregulation. The change laid the groundwork for the rise under President Ronald Reagan of neoliberalism, a political-economic philosophy that promoted free markets and enhanced corporate power through deregulation and the privatization of some government functions. This thesis argues that throughout these dramatic shifts in ideology and government policy, the United States Supreme Court's rulings closely paralleled the sentiment and rhetoric underlying the prevalent economic models of the day. In a close analysis of Supreme Court opinions—concerning government regulation of securities markets—the thesis shows that the Court’s decisions reflected a posture of judicial activism in support of the political-economic ideology favored at the time, instead of in any cohesive jurisprudence or mode of constitutional interpretation. Analysis of the extent to which economic externalities affect the Supreme Court's securities decisions demonstrates the influence of academic movements when paired with public and political support and provides a lens through which to understand the Court’s contemporary securities decisions.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Israeli Nuclear Strategy if Iran Builds the Bomb: An Examination of Israel’s Nuclear Posture in an Uncertain Future

description: Israel is currently the only Middle Eastern country with nuclear weapons. Although the exact details of Israel’s nuclear program are shrouded in secrecy, most states accept that Israel has them. Despite this, Israel has never confirmed their existence, nor made any kind of effort to integrate them into regular military doctrine. This strategy has been coined, ‘strategic ambiguity.' By examining current academic research on nuclear strategy, it is possible to see that this situation is unlikely to remain unchanged if Iran goes nuclear. In fact, it is almost certain that Iranian 'nuclearization' will precipitate major changes in Israeli nuclear strategy. This Honors Thesis examines the history and underlying reasons for the promulgation of Israel's doctrine of strategic ambiguity. It then follows with an analysis of Iranian security needs and concerns, as well as an analysis of deterrence theory and the relevant applications to the Middle East regional system. Although it is impossible to predict the future, thorough research into writings on Israel, Iran, the Middle East's inter-state rivals, deterrence theory, nonproliferation, and nuclear strategy and policy allow for an enlightened examination of how Israel's nuclear doctrine specifically, and this region of the world generally, may change if Iran obtains nuclear weapons.
3S RECIPE – Smart Shrinkage Solutions: Maastricht (NL) Policy Brief #1. Resilient Urban Economy & Municipal Finance

description: This policy brief highlights the important role institutions of higher education can play in dampening the impacts of population decline. It does so based on a study of Maastricht, a medium-sized city in the south of the Netherlands, bordering Belgium and close to Germany. It draws on policy analysis, secondary quantitative data and stakeholder workshops to unravel necessary conditions for higher-education growth in the city. Among other things, it shows the importance of physical infrastructure, accommodating policies and urban attractiveness. Crucially, the Maastricht case demonstrates that the function of higher-education institutions in a city is not a given, but a product of state policies. This suggests redistributive state policies can play a role in dampening population decline or mitigate negative impacts.

List of Mantras in Kapiṣṭhala-Kaṭha-Saṃhitā - Another Addition to A Vedic Concordance -
Creators: name: Fushimi, Makoto

description: As mentioned in the articles on the mantras in Baudhāyana Śrautasūtra and in Hiraṇyakeśin Śrautasūtra, more than a full century ago, in the preface to his monumental work, A Vedic Concordance, BLOOMFIELD emphasized the importance of further collection and transaction of the data from not yet published texts. Recently the Concordance was updated by Franceschini with the data from various texts. Here I add the data from the Kapiṣṭhala-Kaṭha-Saṃhitā, which is not yet included in the Concordance, with the numbering of the second edition which is widely used now. As entities this collection includes r̥c, yajus, praiṣa, pāda of śloka as in A Vedic Concordance. I hope, like that of Baudhāyana Śrautasūtra, this list, together with that of Hiraṇyakeśin Śrautasūtra, will be integrated in a future update of the Concordance.
