Assessing the source of oil deposited in the surface sediment of Mormugao Port, Goa - A case study of MV Qing incident
(2019)
In June 2016, a cruise vessel was grounded in the Mormugao Port, resulting in unnoticed oil spill. The surface water and sediment samples were collected from the vicinity of the ship, and also an oil sample from the ship ...
Cluster analysis of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups from the western margin of India reflects its depth preference
(Elsevier, 2017)
Q-mode and R-mode cluster analyses have been carried out on the census counts data of 68 genera and one �other genera� of benthic foraminifera from 32 stations off Mangalore-Cochin sector, west coast of India, to study the ...
Refinement of Miocene sea level and monsoon events from the sedimentary archive of the Maldives (Indian Ocean)
(Springer, 2018)
International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 359 cored sediments from eight borehole locations in the carbonate platform of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. The expedition set out to unravel the timing of Neogene ...
Ballast Water Risk Assessment: the Indian experience
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
The Ballast Water Risk Assessment serves as a �Decision Support System� for any given port to take appropriate ballast water management actions. Risk assessment involves collation of data from the ballast water reporting ...
Sources of laminated sediments in the northeastern Arabian Sea off Pakistan and implications for sediment transport mechanisms during the late Holocene
(SAGE Publications, 2019)
Laminated sediments of the continental slope off the Makran coast in the northern Arabian Sea are well-known climate archives and record productivity, as well as supply of material from land. Here, we studied sediment core ...
Efflux Pump-Mediated Quorum Sensing: New Avenues for Modulation of Antimicrobial Resistance and Bacterial Virulence
(Springer, Singapore, 2018)
Bacterial pathogenesis is frequently enhanced by virulence mechanisms that facilitate growth. Such virulence factors include biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. One primary resistance mechanism ...
