Structure-Function Elucidation of a New ?-Conotoxin, MilIA, from Conus milneedwardsi
(2019)
The a-Conotoxins are peptide toxins that are found in the venom of marine cone snails and they are potent antagonists of various subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Because nAChRs have an important role ...
Investigation of XBT and XCTD biases in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal with implications for climate studies
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
Long time series of XBT data in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are valuable datasets for exploring and understanding climate variability. However, such studies of interannual and longer-scale variability of temperature ...
Nutrient regimes and their effect on distribution of phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2008)
The seasonal dynamics of nutrient ratios and abundance of phytoplankton cells from the central (CB) and western (WB) Bay of Bengal (BOB) were studied during the fall intermonsoon (FIM; September-October 2002) and spring ...
A study on the characteristics of temperature inversions in active and break phases of Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2013)
The thermal inversion characteristics during active and break cycles of two consecutive and contrasting monsoon years were studied using GPS radiosonde profiles in Goa (15 degrees 46′ N; 73 degrees 08′ E), located on the ...
Study of the role of microbes as source and sink of Dimethyl Sulphide in Dona Paula bay
(2008)
The present work examines the link between the distribution of DMS (P) to abiotic and biotic variables in the adjacent bay, at Dona Paula on a temporal scale both at short diurnal and long annual scales. The objective of ...
Adaptation of marine derived fungus Chaetomium globosum (NIOCC 36) to alkaline stress using antioxidant properties
(Elsevier, 2011)
The fungi are an exceptionally useful model in elucidating the cell functions under extreme conditions (temperature, salinity, and pH values) and mechanisms underlying adaptation to those extreme environmental conditions. ...
Managing coastal tourism: Perspectives from India and the European union
(Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)
Tourism can, and does, impact local development and the environment, as seen in this multi-authored volume, and attention is needed to avoid what has been termed as the 'golden goose' problem. The beauty and environmental ...
Microlevel mapping of coastal geomorphology and coastal resources of Rameswaram island, India: A remote sensing and GIS perspective
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2010)
Coastal areas are facing serious threats from both manmade and natural disturbances; coastal erosion, sea-level variation, and cyclones are the major factors that alter the coastal topography and coastal resources of the ...
Biogeochemical characteristics of the surface sediments along the western continental shelf of India
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
Surface sediments from the western continental shelf of India were analysed for total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), total hydrolysable carbohydrates (TCHO) and proteins (PRT) during the late summer monsoon ...
Hindcasting of storm waves using neural networks
(Elsevier, 2005)
Cyclone generated waves play a significant role in the design of coastal and offshore structures. Instead of conventional numerical models, neural network approach is used in the present study to estimate the wave parameters ...
