Seasonal variability of beach characteristics between Candoliam and Colva coast, Goa, India.
(Centre for Geotechnology, MSU, 2014)The aim of the present study was to investigate the seasonal impact on beach dynamics and the status of heavy mineral distribution along the study area. Beach profile measurements were made in 7 profiling sites between ... -
First record of the Calanoid Copepod Pseudodiaptomus serricaudatus (Scott, T. 1894), (Copepoda: Calanoida: Pseudodiaptomidae) in the equatorial Indian ocean.
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2014)Pseudodiaptomus serricaudatus (Scott, T. 1894), a planktonic copepod belonging to the family Pseudodiaptomidae, though has worldwide distribution, has been reported only from estuarine and coastal waters. This is the first ... -
Coastal processes and longshore sediment transport along Kundapura coast, central west coast of India.
(Elsevier, 2014)Longshore sediment transport (LST) is one of the main factors influencing coastal geomorphology. This study examines the variation in the LST estimate using four well known formulae and the sensitivity of wave parameters ... -
Detection and monitoring of two dust storm events by multispectral modis images.
(JERAD Publications, 2014)During a dust storm event, loose sand/dust from a dry area is picked up and tossed into the air. These particles get together and form a layer of dust. These layers carry large amount of dust from one place to another and ... -
Nutrients, hypoxia and mass fishkill events in Tapi estuary, India.
(Elsevier, 2014)From 1983 to 2011, dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions in the Tapi Estuary changed from normoxic to hypoxic due to increased and untreated discharge of sewage. Both tidal and day–night variations of DO were best explained by ... -
Production, biochemical characterization and detergents application of keratinase from the marine actinobacterium Actinoalloteichus sp. ma-32.
(AOCS, 2014)The present study is the first report on poultry feathers as a novel, inexpensive substrate for the production of a thermo- and detergent stable keratinase from a marine actinobacterium belonging to the genus Actinoalloteichus. ... -
Deterioration in the biodiversity of copepods in sewage laiden creeks of Mumbai coast, west coast of India: A statistical approach.
(Council for Innovative Research, 2014)The coastal waters of Mumbai is known to receive copious amount of waste from the adjacent creeks and bays. Effluents from various industries including nuclear and thermal power stations are discharged into the Mumbai ... -
Quantitative estimation of sediment erosion and accretion processes in a micro-tidal coast.
(Elsevier, 2014)Spatio-temporal cross-shore profiles and textural characteristics are the key parameters for understanding dynamics of the inter-tidal sedimentary environment. This study describes short-term dynamics of the inter-tidal ... -
Studies on methanogenic consortia associated with mangrove sediments of Ennore.
(Triveni Enterprise, 2014)In this study, methanogenic consortia were isolated and characterized from eight different sediment samples of mangrove ecosystem located in Ennore, Chennai. Out of eight samples, two consortia (SpR6 and SSS8) were consistent ... -
Dielectric properties: A gateway to antibacterial assay-A case study of low-density polyethylene/chitosan composite films.
(Society of Polymer Science, 2014)The dielectric properties of low-density polyethylene–chitosan composite films were correlated with their antibacterial properties in this work. Films were designed on the molecular level using palm oil as a plasticizer ... -
Dust depositions leading to phytoplankton blooms in the Arabian sea.
(Solas, 2014)Atmospheric deposition of soil dust is an important source of nutrients (especially iron) to the open ocean regions. Every winter (December to March) the Arabian Sea, the northwest part of the Indian Ocean, receives large ... -
The Indian coastline: Processes and landforms.
(Springer, 2014)The nearly 7,500 km long coastline of India is remarkably varied and dynamic and displays diverse rock-based, sediment-based and coral-based landforms. Coastal processes along the Indian coasts are controlled largely by ... -
Chaetognath community and their responses to varying environmental factors in the northern Indian ocean.
(Oxford University Press, 2014)The ecology of the chaetognath community and its relation to varying environmental factors were studied in the eastern half of the northern Indian Ocean. Analysis of data from two major oceanographic programmes performed ... -
Effect of oil spillage on ecological diversity of pneumatophore associated fauna and flora in central west coast of india
(Academy of Environmental Biology, 2012)Pneumatophores of Avicennia alba is rich in flora (diatoms) and faunal (meiofauna) diversity from the sedimentary environment Flora and faunal composition from two sites: One polluted (Dighodi) and other non-polluted (Goa) ... -
Effect of temperature and salinity on stable isotopic composition of shallow water benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture study
(Bengaluru: Geological Society of India, 2013)Quantitative estimation of past climatic parameters from stable isotopic composition of foraminifera relies on estimating the precise relationship between stable isotopic composition of the species analyzed and the ... -
Construction and screening of 2-aryl benzimidazole library identifies a new antifouling and antifungal agent.
(RSC, 2014)Biofouling is the undesirable growth of organisms on artificial and natural structures immersed in either seawater or freshwater. It causes huge economic loss and also the global prohibition on known antifouling agents has ... -
Insights into the structural and functional aspects of rela by molecular modeling and docking calculations.
(IJPPS publishes, 2014)RelA (ppGpp synthetase I) has been reported as an excellent drug target due to its correlation with virulence induction in bacteria. The aim of present investigation is to provide a deeper understanding of the structural ... -
Monitoring of ocean surface algal blooms in coastal and oceanic waters around India.
(Springer, 2014)The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) sensor MODIS-Aqua provides an important tool for reliable observations of the changing ocean surface algal bloom paradigms in coastal and oceanic waters around ... -
Two decades of Indian research on Ninetyeast Ridge reveal how seafloor spreading and mantle plume activities have shaped the eastern Indian Ocean.
(Current Science Association, 2014)It is widely accepted that the Ninetyeast Ridge ridge is a product of volcanic trace of the Kerguelen mantle plume (hot spot) on the northward-drifting Indian plate between ~85 and 42 Ma. Studies carried out from the early ... -
Bathymetric preference of four major genera of rectilinear benthic foraminifera within oxygen minimum zone in Arabian Sea off central west coast of India.
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2014)Fifty two surface sediment samples collected from the region off Goa, central west coast of India from water depths of 15–3300 m were analyzed with special emphasis on foraminiferal content. Rectilinear benthic foraminiferal ...
