This paper considers the dominant styles, themes and techniques in the Northern Vindhyas rock art in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The term style is taken to include a common minimum pattern in the use of colours, basic shapes, techniques of drawing and painting images, typical themes and narratives, as well as authors of this art which includes very young children, young adults and elders. It is argued that rock art was here made through the long-term, from the end of the Pleistocene through to early history, medieval and modern periods, and therefore it shows that great social and memory values attached themselves to such activity.

The degradation of a widely used organophosphorus insecticide, monocrotophos (dimethyl (E)-1-methyl-2-methylcarbamoyl vinyl phosphate) in two Indian agricultural soils at two concentration levels, 10 and 100 microg g(-1) soil under aerobic conditions at 60% water-holding capacity at 28+/-4 degrees C was studied in a laboratory. The degradation of monocrotophos at both concentrations in black vertisol and red alfinsol soils was rapid accounting for 96-98% of the applied quantity and followed the first-order kinetics with rate constants (k) of 0.0753 and 0.0606 day(-1) and half-lives (t1/2) of 9.2 and 11.4 days, respectively. Degradation of monocrotophos in soils proceeded by hydrolysis with formation of N-methylacetoacetamide. Even three additions of monocrotophos at 10 microg g(-1) soil did not result in its enhanced degradation. However, there was cumulative accumulation of N-methylacetoacetamide in soils pretreated with monocrotophos to the tune of 7-15 microg g(-1) soil. Both bio...

Estamos escrevendo as linhas do futuro, da mudança e da evolução. A tecnologia está mudando a forma de o mundo enfrentar as dificuldades. Cada vez mais as pessoas se conectam através da internet para compartilhar conhecimentos e experiências, expandindo, de forma exponencial, a inteligência coletiva.
