The carbon budget of South Asia
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
The source and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) and methane (CH sub(4)) due to anthropogenic and natural biospheric activities were estimated for the South Asian region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and ...
Phytoplankton dynamic responses to oil spill in Mumbai Harbour
(Sci-Edit Publications, 2013)
The oil spill caused by collision of MSC-Chitra with MV-Khalijia on August 7, 2010 in Mumbai Harbour and surrounding area contaminated the shore and resulted in augmented level of PHc (6692.4-16902.2 mew g/l), though it ...
‘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 ...
Macrobenthos in anthropogenically influenced zones of a coralline marine protected area in the Gulf of Kachchh, India
(Elsevier, 2013)
The Gulf of Kachchh Marine National Park and Sanctuary (MNPS) has one of the four coral reef systems of India. However, owing to its unique geographical position, this area has been transformed into an industrial hub ...
REE in suspended particulate matter and sediment of the Zuari estuary and adjacent shelf, western India: Influence of mining and estuarine turbidity
(Elsevier, 2013)
Concentrations of Al, Fe, Mn and rare earth elements (REE) were measured in 122 samples of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and 70 surficial sediments from the Zuari estuary and the adjacent shelf to understand their ...
Preliminary observation on breeding three spotted seahorse, Hippocampus trimaculatus (Leach, 1814), solely fed with wild caught amphipods under ex-situ condition
(Indian Council of Agricultural Research, 2013)
The reproductive efficiency of the wild caught brooding seahorse population was compared with captive bred F1 generation. Aquaculture has been proposed as a solution to address sustainable trade in seahorse, and for ...
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 ...
A packet loss compliant logic-based communication alogoritham for cooperative path following control
(International Federation of Automatic Control, 2013)
We introduce an event driven communication logic for decentralized control of a network of robotic vehicles (agents). The strategy proposed is robust to packet losses and drives the vehicles to predefined paths while holding ...
Distribution of biochemical constituents in the surface sediments of western coastal Bay of Bengal: Influence of river discharge and water column properties
(Springer, 2013)
Biochemical composition of surface sediment samples from off major and minor rivers along the east coast of India revealed that spatial distribution of sediment organic carbon (SOC) composition was mainly governed by ...
Fremdlinge type object in a cosmic spherule from the Indian Ocean
(Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), 2013)
The article presents here the discovery of a fremdlinge-type object from the cosmic spherule collection from Indian Ocean which survived atmospheric entry.
