Processes of interannual mixed layer temperature variability in the thermocline ridge of the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2014)Sea-surface temperature interannual anomalies (SSTAs) in the thermocline ridge of the southwestern tropical Indian Ocean (TRIO) have several well-documented climate impacts. In this paper, we explore the physical processes ... -
Aliiglaciecola coringensis sp. nov., isolated from a water sample collected from mangrove forest in Coringa, Andhra Pradesh, India
(Springer, 2014)A Gram-negative, rod shaped, motile, aerobic bacterium, designated as strain AK49(T) was isolated from a water sample from a mangrove forest in Coringa village, Andhra Pradesh, India. Strain AK49(T) was observed to form ... -
Removal of mercury in fixed-bed continuous upflow reactors by mercury-resistant bacteria and effect of sodium chloride on their performance
(Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation, 2014)Urgent need to reduce the amount of toxic mercury compounds in the wastewater of industries and subsequent reuse of metal ions, has led to an increasing interest in microbial bioremediation. Two Pseudomonas aeruginosa ... -
A study on reflection pattern of swells from the shoreline of peninsular India
(Springer, 2014)Information on reflected surface gravity waves from the shoreline is required for understanding the coastal hydrodynamics. We have quantified the reflected swells (frequency band 0.045–0.12 Hz) from the west and east coast ... -
Algal epibiosis on Megabalanus tintinnabulum and its role in segregation of the Balanus amphitrite population
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2014)Ulva sp. and Gracilaria sp. were found colonizing shell surfaces of an acorn barnacle, Megabalanus tintinnabulum. However, this association was not noticed in the case of Balanus amphitrite, which was a co-inhabitant. Such ... -
Geospatial analysis of long-term morphological changes in Cochin estuary, SW coast of India
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2014)The Cochin estuary along the SW coast of India has undergone tremendous environmental changes due to continuous alterations. Geospatial information available since 1967 has been compiled to evaluate the long-term morphological ... -
Bacterial bioluminescence response to long-term exposure to reverse osmosis treated effluents from dye industries
(NRC Research Press, 2014)The bacterial bioluminescence assay is one of the novel means for toxicity detection. The bioluminescence response of 2 marine bioluminescent bacteria was tested upon their long-term exposure to 9 different reverse osmosis ... -
Observing storm surges in the Bay of Bengal from satellite altimetry
(Elsevier, 2014)In the present study, we examined 15 years (1993e2007) of satellite altimeter and coastal tide-gauge records in the Bay of Bengal and demonstrate that satellite altimetry can be a useful complementary dataset for the study ... -
Indications of an extreme event deposits along the west coast of India: evidences from GPR investigations
(Springer, 2014)The ground-penetrating radar (GPR) was used to trace the subsurface details in the Palshet coastal zone (Maharashtra) as it exhibits an interesting array of geomorphological features. Furthermore, our main goal was to ... -
Locating Noctiluca miliaris in the Arabian Sea: An optical proxy approach
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2014)Coincident with shifting monsoon weather patterns over India, the phytoplankter Noctiluca miliaris has recently been observed to be dominating phytoplankton blooms in the northeastern Arabian Sea during the winter monsoons. ... -
Response of shallow water benthic foraminifera to a <sup>13</sup>C-labeled food pulse in the laboratory
(Springer, 2014)In recent years, stable isotope techniques have been applied successfully directly on the sea floor to follow the fate of carbon in the marine carbon cycle. Feeding experiments using <sup>13</sup>C-labeled food enable the ... -
Source investigation of the tar balls deposited along the Gujarat coast, India, using chemical fingerprinting and transport modeling techniques
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Deposition of tar balls (TBs) along the south Gujarat coast, situated on the west coast of India (WCI), commonly occurs during the southwest monsoon season. Several offshore oil fields off the Mumbai-Gujarat coast, and ... -
Mass spectrometry for determination of bioactive compounds
(Elsevier, 2014)Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as an invaluable technique with a wide array of applications ranging from forensic, proteomic, metabolomic to clinical studies. With the development of different ionization techniques and ... -
Vibrational spectroscopy for structural characterization of bioactive compounds
(Elsevier, 2014)Vibrational spectroscopy is one of the widely used analytical technique that require short analysis time, less sample quantity, provide non destructive and situ analysis of biological samples. Infrared and Raman spectroscopies ... -
Kinetic speciation and bioavailability of copper and nickel in mangrove sediments
(Elsevier, 2014)An attempt was made to establish a mechanistic linkage between chemical speciation of copper and nickel, and their bioavailability in mangrove ecosystem. Kinetic speciation study was performed to determine the concentrations ... -
Chemistry and petrology of Fe-Ni beads from different types of cosmic spherules: Implication for precursors
(Elsevier, 2014)Fe–Ni beads are observed to occur in all three (Stony, Glass, Iron) types of cosmic spherules collected from deep sea sediments of the Indian Ocean. Fe–Ni beads in cosmic spherules can provide insights for understanding ... -
Observation on foreshore morphodynamics of microtidal sandy beaches
(Current Science Association, 2014)Foreshore morphology and morphodynamics were examined to identify stability of two microtidal sandy beaches, Kundapura and Padukare, along the Karnataka shoreline on the west coast of India during three annual cycles from ... -
The effect of organic carbon on fixed nitrogen loss in the eastern tropical South Pacific and Arabian Sea oxygen deficient zones
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2014)The three major oxygen deficient zones (ODZs) of the world oceans (eastern tropical North and South Pacific (ETNP and ETSP, respectively), and Arabian Sea (AS) host the vast majority of pelagic fixed nitrogen (N) loss and ... -
Anti-proliferative and angio-suppressive effect of Stoechospermum marginatum (C. Agardh) Kutzing extract using various experimental models.
