Deep-sea mining: Economic, technical, technological, and environmental considerations for sustainable development
(Marine Technology Society, 2011)
Mining of minerals such as polymetallic nodules from the deep-sea floor has been "on-hold" as a result of several factors such as current availability of Cu, Ni, Co and Mn from terrestrial sources and their fluctuating ...
Biomarkers of petroleum contamination in the digestive gland of Perna viridis (L.)
(The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2012)
Oxidative stress responses were evaluated in the digestive gland tissue of Perna viridis exposed to water accommodated fractions (WAFs) of petrol and diesel at 0.5 percent and 5 percent concentrations over 5-, 10-, and ...
Optical closure of apparent optical properties in coastal waters off Goa
(Indian Society of Remote Sensing, 2015)
Inherent and apparent optical properties were measured for coastal waters off Goa, a site on the west coast of India using the in-situ measuring profiling optical instruments. The optical closure was obtained using the ...
Anti-proliferative and angio-suppressive effect of Stoechospermum marginatum (C. Agardh) Kutzing extract using various experimental models.
(Korean Nutrition Society and the Korean Society of Community Nutrition, 2014)
Abundant consumption of seaweeds in the diet is epidemiologically linked to the reduction in risk of developing cancer. In larger cases, however, identification of particular seaweeds that are accountable for these effects ...
Reconstruction of depositional environment of a tropical estuary and response of δ <sup>13</sup> C<sub>org</sub> and TOC/TN signatures to changing environmental conditions
(Elsevier, 2014)
The distribution of sediment components, organic carbon, aluminium normalized metals, bulk sedimentary organic stable carbon isotope ratios i.e. δ<sup>13</sup> c<sub>org</sub> and elemental TOC/TN ratios were studied within ...
The nature and distribution of particulate matter in the Mandovi Estuary, central west coast of India
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2010)
Systematic seasonal variations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) along a 44-km transect of the Mandovi estuary reveal that the concentrations of SPM are low at river-end stations, increase generally seaward, and are ...
Synthesis of deep multichannel seismic and high resolution sparker data: Implications for the geological environment of the Krishna–Godavari offshore, Eastern Continental Margin of India
(Elsevier, 2014)
Proven hydrocarbon occurrence in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin, a part of the Eastern Continental Margin of India initiated intense exploration activities to discern the potential hydrocarbon bearing structures/payoff ...
Wave energy resource assessment for the Indian shelf seas
(Elsevier, 2015)
As a renewable energy, the assessment of wave power potential around a country is crucial. Knowledge of the temporal and spatial variations of wave energy is required for locating a wave power plant. This study investigates ...
Bleaching and secondary threats on the corals of Palk Bay: A survey and Proactive conservation needs
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2012)
A survey on bleaching and the secondary threats on bleached corals in the selected sites of Palk-Bay were conducted during May and June 2010. Massive corals represented by the genera Porites, Goniopora, Favia were bleached ...
Extracellular electron transfer mechanism in Shewanella loihica PV-4 biofilms formed at indium tin oxide and graphite electrodes
(ESG, 2013)
Electroactive biofilms are capable of extracellular electron transfer to insoluble metal oxides and electrodes; such biofilms are relevant to biogeochemistry, bioremediation, and bioelectricity production. We investigated ...
