Possible solar control on primary production along the Indian west coast on decadal to centennial timescale
(John Wiley, 2009)Using multiple geochemical proxies including specific biomarkers (dinosterol, phytol, stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol) measured in a high-sedimentation rate core collected from the inner shelf (depth approx. 45 m) off Goa ... -
Breeding and mass-scale rearing of three spotted seahorse, Hippocampus trimaculatus Leach under captive conditions
(Elsevier, 2009)Recent establishment of techniques for captive breeding and closure of the life cycle of some seahorse species is expected to help in achieving the twin objectives of reducing pressure on wild stocks as well as providing ... -
Manganese nodule morphology as indicators for oceanic processes in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)In order to understand the role of geological features in the depositional environment and the prevailing oceanic processes on the formation and characteristics of manganese nodules, a detailed morphological study of the ... -
Organotins in the sediments of the Zuari estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2009)Industrial use of organotins such as butyltins and phenyltins has increased several folds during the last two decades. Butyltins and phenyltins are synthetic, multipurpose chemicals, which have been extensively used in ... -
Late Quaternary seismic sequence stratigraphy of the Gulf of Kachchh, northwest of India
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2009)High-resolution seismic reflection and bathymetric data in 10 to 50 m water depth in the Gulf of Kachchh, northwest of India, have been analysed together with earlier results from the area. They have revealed geomorphic ... -
Seasonal variation in organotins in the waters of the Dona Paula Bay, west coast of India
(Springer, 2009)Surface seawaters from the Dona Paula Bay, were collected at weekly intervals during March 2007 to March 2008, and analyzed for butyltins (BT) such as tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT), monobutyltin (MBT) using a GC–MS ... -
Aspernolides A and B, butenolides from a marine-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus
(Elsevier, 2009)Two aromatic butenolides, aspernolides A and B along with the known metabolites, butyrolactone I, terrein and physcion were isolated from the fermentation broth of a soft coral derived fungus Aspergillus terreus. The ... -
Late Holocene changes in hypoxia off the west coast of India: Micropalaeontological evidences
(Current Science Association, 2009)A study has been carried out to understand benthic foraminiferal and sedimentary organic matter characteristics under low dissolved oxygen conditions off the central west coast of India. Based on the strong correlation ... -
Geoid and gravity anomaly data of conjugate regions of Bay of Bengal and Enderby Basin: New constraints on breakup and early spreading history between India and Antarctica
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)Timing of breakup of the Indian continent from eastern Gondwanaland and evolution of the lithosphere in the Bay of Bengal still remain as ambiguous issues. Geoid and free-air gravity data of Bay of Bengal and Enderby Basin ... -
New species of marine littoral mites (Acari: Oribatida) from Taiwan and India, with a key to the world's species of Fortuynia and notes on their distribution
(Academia Sinica, 2009)Species of the small oribatid mite genus <i>Fortuynia</i> (Ameronothroidea: Fortuyniidae) mostly inhabit marine littoral zones in the tropics and subtropics. In the present paper, we describe 2 new species, <i>Fortuynia ... -
Darwin core based data streamlining with digimus 2.0
(University of Kansas, 2009)Cataloguing biological specimen is an important activity of biological museums world over. Software developed especially for this purpose has evolved over time to achieve more accuracy in retrieving data from large and ... -
Spatiotemporal structure of the East India Coastal Current from satellite altimetry
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)A newly processed altimeter data set to present a hitherto unprecedented description of the spatiotemporal structure of the East India Coastal Current (EICC) is used: the data set resolves timescales ranging from a few ... -
Increasing trend of `Break-Monsoon` conditions over India — Role of ocean–atmosphere processes in the Indian Ocean
(IEEE, 2009)Analysis of daily rainfall data over India during the period 1951–2007 reveal an increased propensity in the occurrence of `monsoon-breaks` over the subcontinent. The increasing trend is seen both in the duration and ... -
A study on the effects of some laboratory-derived genetic mutations on biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes
(Springer, 2009)Biofilms formed by the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes in food-processing environments can be a potential source of contamination. In this study, we investigated the ability of L. monocytogenes wild type and its ... -
Observed thermohaline structure and cooling of Kochi backwaters and adjoining southeastern Arabian Sea
(Current Science Association, 2009)Thermohaline structure of Kochi backwaters under fair and rough weather conditions has been examined along with thermal structure of two open-ocean islands in the adjoining southeastern Arabian Sea (Kavaratti and Andrott ... -
An investigation into the conditions leading to monsoon onset over Kerala
(Springer, 2009)Monsoon onset over the Kerala (MOK) coast has been studied using the recently released high resolution Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite data (HOAPS 3). Columnar water vapour content, sea surface ... -
Radiocarbon dates of the medieval period stone anchors from Dabhol, west coast of India
(Current Science Association, 2009)Dabhol was an important medieval-period port town on the Maharashtra coast. An archaeological exploration at Dabhol has revealed four stone anchors with remains of wood in fluke hole. These anchors were retrieved from ... -
Radiolarian abundance - A monsoon proxy responding to the Earth`s orbital forcing: Inferences on the mid-Brunhes climate shift
