Major and trace element geochemistry of Bay of Bengal sediments: Implications to provenances and their controlling factors
(Elsevier, 2014)Major and trace elements of sediments from a ~ 13-m long piston core (SK187/PC33) from the western Bay of Bengal have been investigated in this study to infer about the changes in provenances and related controlling factors ... -
Changing environmental conditions in recent past — Reading through the study of geochemical characteristics, magnetic parameters and sedimentation rate of mudflats, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2014)Geochemical (sediment components, major and trace metals), magnetic related parameters (concentration, mineralogy and grain size) and radionuclide (<sup>210</sup>Pb) analyses were carried out on sediment cores collected ... -
A glimpse of the Quaternary monsoon history from India and adjoining seas
(Elsevier, 2014)The evolution of the monsoon is briefly summarized taking into account previous studies conducted on both terrestrial and marine records recovered from the Indian subcontinent and the adjoining seas. While the initiation ... -
Application of geo-spatial technologies in coastal vulnerability studies due to Sea Level Rise (SLR) along the Central Orissa Coast, India
(Springer, 2014)This chapter emphasizes the regional and local level coastal vulnerability studies due to sea level rise and the subsequent coastal inundation along the low-lying coastal areas using the advanced geo-spatial technologies. ... -
Tritirachium candoliense sp. nov., a novel basidiomycetous fungus isolated from the anoxic zone of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2014)A fungal culture (FCAS11) was isolated from coastal sediments of the Arabian Sea during the anoxic season. Multigene phylogenetic analyses confidentially place the organism as a novel species within the recently defined ... -
Does the multi-authorship trend influence the quality of an article?
(Springer, 2014)In the last few decades, multi-authored articles have increased in different disciplines with increasing instances of authorship abuse although multi-authorship is not always due to undeserving authorship (McDonald et al. ... -
Reconstruction of depositional environment of a tropical estuary and response of δ <sup>13</sup> C<sub>org</sub> and TOC/TN signatures to changing environmental conditions
(Elsevier, 2014)The distribution of sediment components, organic carbon, aluminium normalized metals, bulk sedimentary organic stable carbon isotope ratios i.e. δ<sup>13</sup> c<sub>org</sub> and elemental TOC/TN ratios were studied within ... -
Impact of total organic carbon (in sediments) and dissolved organic carbon (in overlying water column) on Hg sequestration by coastal sediments from the central east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2014)Total organic carbon (TOC) (in sediment) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) (in water column) play important roles in controlling the mercury sequestration process by the sediments from the central east coast of India. ... -
Sources of errors in the measurements of underwater profiling radiometer
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)There are various sources of errors from the measurements of optical parameters using a radiometer, which can be classified as mode of deployment, instrument and environment. The errors from the deployment are primarily ... -
Roseovarius azorensis sp. nov., isolated from seawater at Espalamaca, Azores
(Springer, 2014)A Gram-negative, motile, non-spore forming, rod shaped aerobic bacterium, designated strain SSW084<sup>T</sup>, was isolated from a surface seawater sample collected at Espalamaca (38°33`N; 28°39`W), Azores. Growth was ... -
Quantitative analyses of pollution-indicator and pathogenic bacteria in Mumbai waters from ballast water exchange perspective
(Springer, 2005)As large numbers of ships either take in ballast from or discharge their ballast into the Mumbai Harbor region, it is pertinent to quantify microorganisms of health concerns and suggest on the suitability of water for ... -
Changes in metal contamination levels in estuarine sediments around India – An assessment
(Elsevier, 2014)This review is the first attempt to comprehend the changes in metal contamination levels in surface estuarine sediments with changing time around India. Contamination factor, geoaccumulation index, pollution load index, ... -
Stochastic formalism-based seafloor feature discrimination using multifractality of time-dependent acoustic backscatter
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)Dual-frequency echo-envelope data acquired using the normal-incidence single-beam echosounder system (SBES) have been examined to study its scale invariant properties. The scaling and multifractality of the SBES echo ... -
Tropical cyclones in two atmospheric (re)analyses and their response in two oceanic reanalyses
(Elsevier, 2014)In this paper, we first evaluate the ability of the European Centre for Medium Range Forecast operational analysis and the ERA-Interim reanalysis to capture the surface wind signature of tropical cyclones (TCs). In those ... -
Next Generation Biofilm Inhibitors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Synthesis and Rational Design Approaches
(Bentham Science, 2014)The bacterial biofilms and the emergence of multiple drug resistance have become a major threat for current medical treatment of nosocomial infections. It has been estimated that about 65-80% of microbial infections in the ... -
Arene ruthenium(II) azido complexes incorporating N intersection O chelate ligands: Synthesis, spectral studies and 1,3-dipolar-cycloaddition to a coordinated azide in ruthenium(II) compounds
(Elsevier, 2014)The arene ruthenium(II) azido compounds [{(p-cymene)Ru(N^O)N<sub>3</sub>}] have been prepared by the reaction of [{(p-cymene)Ru(mewN<sub>3</sub>)Cl}<sub>2</sub>] with the corresponding ligands. The ruthenium azido compounds ... -
Air-Sea Interactions of Natural Long-Lived Greenhouse Gases (CO2, N2O, CH4) in a Changing Climate
(Springer, 2014)Understanding and quantifying ocean–atmosphere exchanges of the long-lived greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are important for understanding the global biogeochemical cycles of ... -
Amino acid biogeochemistry and bacterial contribution to sediment organic matter along the western margin of the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2014)Six sediment cores collected from various water depths and sampling locations along the western margin of the Bay of Bengal (BOB) were investigated for the total hydrolysable amino acids (THAA) and d-amino acids (d-AA) to ... -
Boron/calcium ratios in Globigerinoides ruber from the Arabian Sea: Implications for controls on boron incorporation
(Elsevier, 2014)Culture and downcore studies have been used to argue that B/Ca ratios in planktic foraminifera are correlated with seawater pH and may record seawater borate/bicarbonate ratios, although other factors may also control B/Ca. ... -
Equatorial Indian Ocean productivity during the last 33 kyr and possible linkage to Westerly Jet variability
(Elsevier, 2014)The top 1 m radiocarbon dated section of a 5.6 m long sediment core retrieved from the Equatorial Indian Ocean is studied for productivity changes in response to climate variability that have taken place during the last ...
