CpG-ODNs induces up-regulated expression of chemokine CCL9 in mouse macrophages and microglia
(Elsevier, 2010)Unmethylated CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) interact with Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 to activate macrophage/microglia in central nervous system (CNS). The potential involvement of the chemokine CCL9 and its receptor ... -
Evaluation of genotoxic responses of Chaetoceros tenuissimus and Skeletonema costatum to water accommodated fraction of petroleum hydrocarbons as biomarker of exposure
(Elsevier, 2010)Genotoxic responses towards chronic exposure of Chaetoceros tenuissimus and Skeletonema costatum to water accommodated fraction of petroleum hydrocarbons (WAF-P) were evaluated as biomarkers of petroleum hydrocarbons ... -
Re-evaluation of ‘paradox of mesozooplankton’ in the eastern Arabian Sea based on ship and satellite observations
(Elsevier, 2010)In the central and eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), biomass and production of phytoplankton are known to vary spatially and seasonally whereas, biomass of mesozooplankton (MSP) is reported to be constant. This apparent contradiction ... -
Mumbai harbour, India: Gateway for introduction of marine organisms
(Springer, 2010)Ships have been identified as one of the important vectors in the translocation of organisms from one bioregion to another leading to bioinvasion. In this context, harbours serve as a gateway for the introduction of alien ... -
Evaluation of significant sources influencing the variation of water quality of Kandla creek, Gulf of Katchchh, using PCA
(Springer, 2010)To evaluate the significant sources contributing to water quality parameters, we used principal component analysis (PCA) for the interpretation of a large complex data matrix obtained from the Kandla creek environmental ... -
Denitrification exceeds anammox as a nitrogen loss pathway in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Elsevier, 2010)The oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) of the world oceans are sites of enhanced anaerobic nitrogen transformations, such that the largest OMZ, the Arabian Sea, is responsible for 30-50% of the oceanic water column fixed N loss. ... -
Can undersea voltage measurements detect tsunamis?
(Terrapub, 2010)The movement of electrically conducting ocean water in the ambient geomagnetic field induces secondary electric and magnetic fields in the oceans. Ocean water transport is now routinely inferred from undersea cable voltage ... -
Ilmenite, magnetite and chromite beach placers from south Maharashtra, central west coast of India
(The Society of Resource Geology, 2010)The heavy mineral placer deposits of the coastal sediments in south Maharashtra stretch for 12.5 km from Pirwadi in the north to Talashil in the south. The area is a sand bar represented by a narrow submergent coastal plain ... -
Evaluation of the CaCO3 dissolution proxies in sediment cores from above the lysocline
(Elsevier, 2010)Calcium carbonate analyses were carried out from two size fractions (less than 63 mu m and more than 63 mu m) from the Ocean Drilling Program Sites 752 and 715 collected from above the lysocline depth in the Indian Ocean, ... -
Signatures of global warming and regional climate shift in the Arabian Sea
(Cochin University of Science and Technology, 2010)The impact of global warming in the recent decade is shown by the disruption in the natural decadal cycle in the sea surface temperature (SST) of the Arabian Sea after 1995. We propose a regional climate shift after 1995, ... -
Seasonal mixed layer heat balance of the southwestern tropical Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Sea surface temperature (SST) in the southwestern tropical Indian Ocean exerts a significant influence on global climate through its influence on the Indian summer monsoon and Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation. ... -
Association of the stramenopilan protists, the aplanochytrids, with zooplankton of the equatorial Indian Ocean
(Inter-Research, 2010)Thraustochytrids and aplanochytrids, belonging to the Labyrinthulomycetes of the Kingdom Stramenopila, have been frequently reported to occur as parasites or symbionts in a number of coastal invertebrates. Given the fact ... -
Phylogenetic diversity of culturable fungi from the deep-sea sediments of the central Indian Basin and their growth characteristics
(Kunming University of Science and Technology, 2010)Very few studies have addressed the diversity of culturable fungi from deep-sea sediments. We are reporting here the diversity of culturable fungi in deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Basin obtained from a depth of ... -
The contribution of deep-sea macrohabitat heterogeneity to global nematode diversity
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)The great variety of geological and hydrological conditions in the deep sea generates many different habitats. Some are only recently explored, although their true extent and geographical coverage are still not fully ... -
Four marine-derived fungi for bioremediation of raw textile mill effluents
(Elsevier, 2010)Textile dye effluents pose environmental hazards because of color and toxicity. Bioremediation of these has been widely attempted. However, their widely differing characteristics and high salt contents have required ... -
Formation of hydrothermal deposits at Kings Triple Junction, northern Lau back-arc basin, SW Pacific: The geochemical perspectives
(Elsevier, 2010)An inactive hydrothermal field was discovered near Kings Triple Junction (KTJ) in northern Lau back-arc basin during 19th cruise of R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in 1990. The field consisted of a large elongated basal ... -
Minima of interannual sea-level variability in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2010)Wavelet analysis of altimeter sea level in the Indian Ocean shows regions of high variability (maxima) and low variability (minima) at all time scales. At interannual time scales, i.e., at periods of 17 months or more, ... -
Macrofaunal community structure in the western Indian continental margin including the oxygen minimum zone
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)Patterns of macrofaunal distribution were studied along the western Indian continental margin to distinguish the role of habitat heterogeneity in generating and maintaining community structure. A transect perpendicular to ... -
Exploration and utilization of energy from sea
(S.N. Arts, D.J.M. Commerce and B.N.S. Science College, 2010)The major sources of energy at present are hydrocarbons (oil, gas and coal), hydroelectric power, and nuclear power. We need to seek alternate sources because of several reasons such as threat of depletion of existing ... -
Land-ocean tectonic signatures of the Krishna-Godavari Basin, a qualitative evaluation
(Current Science Association, 2010)The bathymetry data of Krishna-Godavari Offshore Basin reveal that the water depths in the area vary from 40 m (near shore) to 3000 m (offshore). The data indicate high gradient tightly packed contours over offshore Krishna ...
