Microwave-induced bismuth(III)-catalyzed synthesis of linear indoloquinolines
(Elsevier, 2017)
Microwave-induced Bi(NO3)3-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of a series of linear indoloquinolines is accomplished under mild reaction conditions. While majority of these examples were carried out under solvent-free conditions, ...
Current status and scope of coral reef research in India: A bio-ecological perspective
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2017)
Coral reefs are staggeringly diverse and complex ecosystem. But, this tropical wonder is currently degrading at alarming rates and, facing a high risk of extinction due to several anthropogenic and natural disturbances. ...
Genotoxicity of two heavy metal compounds: lead nitrate and cobalt chloride in Polychaete Perinereis cultrifera
(Springer, 2017)
The present study explores the in vivo and in vitro genotoxic effects of lead nitrate, [Pb(NO3)2] a recognized environmental pollutant and cobalt chloride (CoCl2), an emerging environmental pollutant in polychaete Perinereis ...
Variability of the date of monsoon onset over Kerala (India) of the period 1870-2014 and its relation to sea surface temperature
(Springer, 2017)
Monsoon onset over Kerala (India) which occurs every year is a major climatic phenomenon that involves large scale changes in wind, rainfall and sea surface temperature (SST). Over the last 150 years, the date of monsoon ...
Contrasting Chl-a responses to the tropical cyclones Thane and Phailin in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2017)
Satellite-derived ocean colour data was used to identify the phytoplankton bloom associated with tropical cyclones Thane and Phailin in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Cyclone Thane was category 2 cyclone (25-31 December 2011), ...
Resilience potential of an Indian Ocean reef: an assessment through coral recruitment pattern and survivability of juvenile corals to recurrent stress events
(Springer, 2017)
Coral reefs are degraded by the synergistic action of climate and anthropogenic stressors. Coral cover in the Palk Bay reef at the northern Indian Ocean largely declined in the past decade due to frequent bleaching events, ...
On the dynamics of the Sri Lanka Dome in the Bay of Bengal
(Wiley, 2017)
East of Sri Lanka, in the northern Indian Ocean, a cold dome, known as the Sri Lanka Dome (SLD), develops during southwest monsoon season (June-September). The SLD first forms around May, matures in July, and decays around ...
Synthesis and electronic properties of ester substituted 1,4-dicyanodibenzodioxins and evaluation of anti-proliferative activity of all isomeric 1,2-, 2,3- and 1,4-dicyanodibenzodioxins against HeLa cell line
(Pergamon, 2017)
1,4-Dicyanodibenzodioxins bearing carboxy methyl ester groups were synthesized using our established one-step SNAr coupling reaction between ortho- and meta-ester substituted catechols and perfluorinated terephthalonitrile. ...
Dynamics of Andaman Sea circulation and its role in connecting the equatorial Indian Ocean to the Bay of Bengal
(Wiley, 2017)
Circulation in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is driven not only by local winds, but are also strongly forced by the reflection of equatorial Kelvin waves (EKWs) from the eastern boundary of the Indian Ocean. The equatorial ...
Diagnosis of the diatom community upon biofilm development on stainless steels in natural freshwater
(Hindawi, 2017)
This paper reports the development of biofilms on stainless steels (SS) upon exposure in a natural freshwater ecosystem for about six months and focuses on the composition of diatom populations. By using environmental ...
