COVID-19 lockdown induced air pollution reduction over India: A lesson for future air pollution mitigation strategies
(Springer, 2021)
Air pollution is one of the biggest problems worldwide and needs to be addressed potentially with the implementation of updated stringent policies and legislative laws. The nationwide lockdown imposed to prevent the COVID-19 ...
Surface wave interactions with submerged horizontal viscoelastic sheets
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this study, the surface wave interactions with submerged horizontal viscoelastic sheets of varying rheological properties are investigated both experimentally and analytically. In the experiments, we adopt the novel ...
Release of significant fraction of primary production as dissolved organic carbon in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
Despite nutrients supply through river discharge, atmospheric deposition and eddy-driven mixing, low primary production in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is attributed to light limitation and non-availability of nutrients during ...
Implications of REE incorporation and host sediment influence on the origin and growth processes of ferromanganese nodules from Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study presents new major, trace and REE data for thirty-five ferromanganese nodules recovered from areas representing three different sediment types (siliceous, red clay and their transition zone) in the Central Indian ...
Microplastics in seafood as an emerging threat to marine environment: A case study in Goa, West coast of India
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
The present study exhibits the occurrence of MPs in different matrices (water, sediment and biota) from the Sal estuary, Goa, situated on the central west coast of India. The average numbers of MPs in the water column and ...
Bacterial diversity associated with a newly described bioeroding sponge, Cliona thomasi, from the coral reefs on the West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
The bacterial diversity associated with eroding sponges belonging to the Cliona viridis species complex is scarcely known. Cliona thomasi described from the West Coast of India is a new introduction to the viridis species ...
Rock magnetic evidence of tectonic control on the sedimentation and diagenesis in the Andaman Sea over ~1 million years
(Elsevier, 2021)
We evaluate the sedimentary (magnetic, mineralogical, geochemical, grain size) records of a long sediment core (NGHP-01-17 A) to elucidate the tectonic control on the sedimentation and diagenesis in the Andaman Sea (AS) ...
Isolation and Identification of Tyrosinase Inhibitors from Marine Algae Enteromorpha sp
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2021)
The extract of marine green algae Enteromorpha sp. was evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase enzyme. The principle active agents i.e. coumarin; 4-hydroxycoumarin (1) and two sterols; ...
Evaluating the Bacterial Diversity from the Southwest Coast of India Using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Profiles
(Springer, 2021)
The fatty acid composition of bacterial isolates remains stable under standardized culture conditions, which makes it a useful taxonomic marker. The present study aims to characterize the diversity and quantity of fatty ...
Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercially important bottom dwelling finfishes and shellfish of the Vembanad Lake, India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This paper characterize microplastics (MPs) in the heavily urbanized, brackish water Vembanad Lake (India), focussing on some commercially important bottom-feeding fishes and shellfish (Arius maculatus, Etroplus suratensis, ...
