Improved Sprouting and Growth of Mung Plants in Chromate Contaminated Soils Treated with Marine Strains of Staphylococcus Species
(Springer, 2017)
Marine bacteria possess a wide variety of bioremediation potential which is beneficial environmentally and economically. In this study, bacterial isolates from marine waters were screened for tolerance and growth in high ...
Bacterial activity in hydrogenetic ferromanganese crust from the Indian Ocean: A combined geochemical, experimental and pyrosequencing study
(Springer, 2017)
The Afanasiy-Nikitin Seamount (ANS) in the Equatorial Indian Ocean harbors hydrogenetic ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts. It was hypothesized that the bacteria associated with the crust catalyze the precipitation of metal ...
Bio-prospecting of coral (Porites lutea) mucus associated bacteria, Palk Bay reefs, Southeast coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Coral mucus is one of the key localization in the coral holobiont, as this serves as an energy rich substrate for a wide range of abundant, diverse and multifunctional microbiota. However, very little is known about the ...
Microwave-induced bismuth(III)-catalyzed synthesis of linear indoloquinolines
(Elsevier, 2017)
Microwave-induced Bi(NO3)3-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of a series of linear indoloquinolines is accomplished under mild reaction conditions. While majority of these examples were carried out under solvent-free conditions, ...
Review of Mining Rates, Environmental Impacts, Metal Values, and Investments for Polymetallic Nodule Mining
(2019)
This chapter reviews different mining rates for polymetallic nodules and evaluates the ensuing environmental impacts as well as metal production with respect to land reserves, metal prices, and projected investments. It ...
On the dynamics of the Sri Lanka Dome in the Bay of Bengal
(Wiley, 2017)
East of Sri Lanka, in the northern Indian Ocean, a cold dome, known as the Sri Lanka Dome (SLD), develops during southwest monsoon season (June-September). The SLD first forms around May, matures in July, and decays around ...
Role of Reporting in Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement of Ballast Water Management
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
The Decision Support System (DSS) for ballast water management in any given port is dependent on the availability of information on ballast water carried by a ship in advance. Collation of information through Ballast Water ...
A two million year record of low-latitude aridity linked to continental weathering from the Maldives
(2018)
Indian-Asian monsoon has oscillated between warm/wet interglacial periods and cool/dry glacial periods with periodicities closely linked to variations in Earth�s orbital parameters. However, processes that control wet ...
Synthesis and electronic properties of ester substituted 1,4-dicyanodibenzodioxins and evaluation of anti-proliferative activity of all isomeric 1,2-, 2,3- and 1,4-dicyanodibenzodioxins against HeLa cell line
(Pergamon, 2017)
1,4-Dicyanodibenzodioxins bearing carboxy methyl ester groups were synthesized using our established one-step SNAr coupling reaction between ortho- and meta-ester substituted catechols and perfluorinated terephthalonitrile. ...
Sediment dynamics of an artificially deepened mesotidal coastal lagoon: An environmental magnetic investigation of Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2017)
Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand�s largest barrier-enclosed coastal lagoon, comprises two sub-basins with separate catchments, inlets and tidal channel systems. This study sets out to assess and investigate the sediment ...
