Analysis of offshore jacket platform
(NITK; Surathkal, India, 2010)The estimation of response parameters plays an important role in the design of offshore structure. The periodic inspection and monitoring of offshore platforms for certification needs the study of the responses of structures ... -
Phylogenetic diversity of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase genes from tropical estuarine sediments on the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2010)Phylogenetic diversity analyses of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (AamoA) genes were carried out on sediment samples from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, on the central west coast of India. The ... -
The sponge-associated bacterium Bacillus licheniformis SAB1: A source of antimicrobial compounds
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2010)Several bacterial cultures were isolated from sponge Halichondria sp., collected from the Gujarat coast of the Indo Pacific region. These bacterial cultures were fermented in the laboratory (100 mL) and the culture filtrate ... -
Measurement of DNA strand breaks as a biomarker of genotoxic pollutants
(SSBT's College of Eng. and Technology; India, 2010)This paper deals with the development of a molecular biomarker technique by measurement of DNA integrity in marine organisms for biomonitoring of pollution due to genotoxic compounds. The marine environment is continuously ... -
Application of acteylcholineesterase activity in marine organisms as a biomarker of coastal pollution
(SSBT's College of Eng. and Technology; India, 2010)The marine environment, is continually being polluted by different types of neurotoxic contaminants like organophosphorus, carbamate insecticides, heavy metals and various other neurotoxins from various sources along the ... -
A note on the occurrence of reef inhabiting, red-bellied yellow tail fusilier, Caesio cuning from outside its known geographical array
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)The reef inhabiting fusilier, Caesio cuning, characterized by pinkish abdomen and yellow caudal fin exhibits shoaling behaviour and is known to be geographically distributed from the Gulf of Mannar to the Vanuatu Islands ... -
New species of Paracalanidae along the west coast of India: Paracalanus arabiensis
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)A new species of copepod, Paracalanus arabiensis sp. nov. collected from Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, central west coast of India, is described. It differs from its congeners mainly in the structure of leg 5, with a ... -
Arsenite tolerance and biotransformation potential in estuarine bacteria
(Springer, 2010)Bacterial isolates from water and sediment samples from freshwater, estuarine and marine regions were tested for their growth in the presence of different concentrations of arsenic. Despite the generation times being longer ... -
Waves in shallow water off west coast of India during the onset of summer monsoon
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)The wave growth characteristics during the onset of summer monsoon in a swell dominated open ocean at a location off the west coast of India at 14m water depth are studied. 67% of the measured waves are due to the swells ... -
Threatened fishes of the world: Clarias dussumieri dussumieri (Valenciennes, 1840) (Clariidae)
(Springer, 2010)Studies are necessary to determine the present distribution and steps to ensure protection of Clarias dussumieri dussumieri (Valenciennes, 1840) (Clariidae) habitats. Also needed are population genetic studies coupled with ... -
Reconciling plate kinematic and seismic estimates of lithospheric convergence in the central Indian Ocean
(Geological Society of America, 2010)The far-field signature of the India-Asia collision and history of uplift in Tibet are recorded by sediment input into the Indian Ocean and the strain accumulation history across the diffuse plate boundary between the ... -
Influence of anthropogenic activities on the existing environmental conditions of Kandla Creek (Gulf of Kutch)
(Current Science Association, 2010)Water characteristics of Kandla creek, monitored seasonally from 2002 to 2006 at four locations (mouth, cargo jetty, oil jetty and junction), indicated significant increases in nutrients, petroleum hydrocarbons (PHc) and ... -
Evaporation-precipitation changes in the eastern Arabian Sea for the last 68 ka: Implications on monsoon variability
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)Variations in sea surface temperature (SST), delta sup(18)O of sea water (delta sup(18)Ow), and salinity were reconstructed for the past 68 ka using a sediment core (AAS9/21) from the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) in order to ... -
Comparison of tropical nematode communities from three harbours, west coast of India
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2010)The three major harbours from the central west coast of India were investigated for their benthic environmental status using nematodes as surrogate community. As these three harbours have shown deteriorated conditions ... -
CpG-ODNs induces up-regulated expression of chemokine CCL9 in mouse macrophages and microglia
(Elsevier, 2010)Unmethylated CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) interact with Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 to activate macrophage/microglia in central nervous system (CNS). The potential involvement of the chemokine CCL9 and its receptor ... -
Evaluation of genotoxic responses of Chaetoceros tenuissimus and Skeletonema costatum to water accommodated fraction of petroleum hydrocarbons as biomarker of exposure
(Elsevier, 2010)Genotoxic responses towards chronic exposure of Chaetoceros tenuissimus and Skeletonema costatum to water accommodated fraction of petroleum hydrocarbons (WAF-P) were evaluated as biomarkers of petroleum hydrocarbons ... -
Re-evaluation of ‘paradox of mesozooplankton’ in the eastern Arabian Sea based on ship and satellite observations
(Elsevier, 2010)In the central and eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), biomass and production of phytoplankton are known to vary spatially and seasonally whereas, biomass of mesozooplankton (MSP) is reported to be constant. This apparent contradiction ... -
Mumbai harbour, India: Gateway for introduction of marine organisms
(Springer, 2010)Ships have been identified as one of the important vectors in the translocation of organisms from one bioregion to another leading to bioinvasion. In this context, harbours serve as a gateway for the introduction of alien ... -
