Biosynthesis Of Silver Nanoparticles From Marine Seaweed Sargassum Cinereum And Their Antibacterial Activity
(Medknow, 2013)Seaweed extracts of Sargassum cinereum was used as a reducing agent in the eco-friendly extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles from an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3 ). High conversion of silver ions ... -
bioSearch : A glimpse into marine biodiversity of Indian coastal waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)bioSearch is a database application developed to digitize marine biodiversity of Indian coastal waters. A user can obtain information on organism’s binomial and common names, synonyms, taxonomy, morphology, ecology, economic ... -
Iodine catalyzed one-pot synthesis of chloro-substituted linear and angular indoloquinolines and in vitro antiproliferative activity study of different indoloquinolines
(Springer, 2013)This article describes a facile one-pot synthesis of different chloro-substituted linear and angular indoloquinolines using iodine as a catalyst and in vitro antiproliferative activity of these chloro-substituted ... -
Characteristics of Tides in the Bay of Bengal
(Taylor and Francis, 2013)A vertically integrated 2D numerical model was developed for the simulation of major tidal constituents (M2, S2, N2, K1 and O1) in the Bay of Bengal. The bathymetry for the model domain was derived from an improved ETOPO5 ... -
Association of bacteria with marine invertebrates: Implications for ballast water management
(International Association for Ecology and Health, 2013)Bacteria associated with plankton are of importance in marine bioinvasions and the implementation of ship’s ballast water treatment technologies. In this study, epibiotic and endobiotic bacteria associated with zooplankton, ... -
Was the Rann of Kachchh navigable during the Harappan times (Mid-Holocene)? An archaeological perspective
(Current Science Association, 2013)The Kachchh region, presently, is one of the difficul t areas in the Indian subcontinent for human settlement due to harsh climate, scanty rainfall and hence no scope for agriculture production. However, the region was ... -
Micrometeorite flux on Earth during the last ~50,000 years
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)Flux of micrometeorites is estimated by using cosmic spherule counts from a seafloor area of 2.50 ms<sup>2</sup> from the Indian Ocean. The spherules are recovered from sediment samples in close-spaced locations from the ... -
Origins of wind-driven intraseasonal sea level variations in the North Indian Ocean coastal waveguide
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)In this paper, it is shown that a linear, continuously stratified ocean model reproduces observed wind-driven intraseasonal sea level variability in the coastal waveguide of the Northern Indian Ocean (NIO). Sensitivity ... -
Small protohistoric sites (fishing villages?) on the saurashtra coast, West Coast of India
(Annon, 2013)During the maritime archaeological explorations a few sites of protohistoric in nature have been noticed along the saurashtra coast. the trial excavations of a few sites namely Bet Dwarka and Bhokhira on the western ... -
ENSO-Modulated Cyclogenesis over the Bay of Bengal
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)The role of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the modulation of tropical cyclone activity over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) for the 1979–2011 period is examined. It is shown that Niño-3.4 sea surface temperature (SST) ... -
Role of mesoscale eddies on the variability of biogenic flux in the northern and central Bay of Bengal
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)Mesoscale cyclonic eddies (cold core) are though known to enhance the phytoplankton biomass in the Bay of Bengal, their contribution to the carbon export to the deep ocean are yet to be quantified. Using biogenic flux data ... -
‘Thermohaline front’ off the east coast of India and its generating mechanism
(Springer, 2013)Physical oceanography measurements reveal a strong salinity (0.18 psu km−1) and temperature (0.07 °C km−1) front off the east coast of India in December 1997. T–S diagrams suggest lateral mixing between the fresh water at ... -
Harnessing the biosphere to mitigate global climate change and sea level rise
(Lights Research Foundation, 2013)The planetary ice cover, from Himalayan glaciers to Arctic sea ice, is shrinking at much higher rates than anticipated by climate models, presumably due to feedback processes amplifying the rate of global warming and ... -
Influence of physical and biological processes on the seasonal cycle of biogenic flux in the equatorial Indian Ocean
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)Seasonal cycle of biogenic fluxes obtained from sediment trap at two locations 5°24` N, 86°46` E (southern Bay of Bengal trap; SBBT) and 3°34` N, 77°46` E (equatorial Indian Ocean trap; EIOT) within the equatorial Indian ... -
Caldimonas meghalayensis sp. nov., a novel thermophilic betaproteobacterium isolated from a hot spring of Meghalaya in northeast India
(Springer, 2013)While studying the microbial diversity of hot springs of North-east India we isolated a strain AK31<sup>T</sup> from the Jakrem hot spring of Meghalaya. The strain formed light yellow colonies on nutrient agar and was Gram ... -
Recent advances in marine drug research
(Elsevier, 2013)Structures and properties of promising marine anti-cancer, anti-inflammation and anti-infectious (HIV, HSV, malaria, leishmania) compounds reported during 2008–2011 are discussed. Wherever possible, attempts have also been ... -
Spatial variations in isostatic compensation mechanisms of the Ninetyeast Ridge and their tectonic significance
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)The Ninetyeast Ridge (NER), one of the longest linear volcanic features on the Earth, offers an excellent opportunity of understanding the isostatic response to the interactions of mantle plume with the migrating mid-ocean ... -
Sub-tidal water-level oscillations in the Mandovi estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)Using water-level data collected at six locations during March–April 2003 in the main channel of the Mandovi estuary, one of the 50 odd estuaries on the west coast of India, we describe the nature of variability of water ... -
Cletocamptus goenchim sp. nov., a new harpacticoid (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) from India
