Early oceanic opening off Western India-Pakistan margin: The Gop Basin revisited
(Elsevier, 2009)The Deccan Traps, one of the best known examples of rapid flood basalt, are considered as marking of the inception of a mantle plume on the Indian continental lithosphere. Their emplacement may be associated with the ... -
Intraseasonal response of the northern Indian Ocean coastal waveguide to the Madden-Julian Oscillation
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)A new observational record of upper-ocean currents at 15 degrees N on the western coast of India is dominated by intraseasonal (55-110 day) variations of alongshore currents, whereas sea level at the same location has a ... -
Extract of Indian green mussel, Perna viridis (L.) shows inhibition of blood capillary formation in vitro
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)The extract of the Indian green mussel (Perna viridis L.) was found to inhibit the formation of endothelial cell capillary tube in a concentration dependent manner in vitro. At a concentration of 5 mg/ml of crude extract, ... -
Effect of different extraction procedures on antimicrobial activity of marine bivalves: A comparison
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)Anti-bacterial activity was evaluated in different crude extracts of five commercially important edible marine bivalves, namely Meretrix casta (Chemnitz), Polymesoda (Geloina) P. erosa (Solander), Perna viridis (Linnaeus), ... -
Identification of lysozyme activity from two edible bivalves - Perna viridis (Linnaeus) and Meretrix casta (Chemnitz)
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)Lysozyme activity of two commercially important edible bivalves, namely Perna viridis (Linnaeus) and Meretrix casta (Chemnitz), was analyzed against Micrococcus luteus. The results of this study indicated that the extract, ... -
Screening for the presence of antimicrobial activity in few Indian seaweeds
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)Methanolic extracts of 17 commonly found seaweeds in the west coast of India were screened for the presence of antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp., Streptococcus pyrogenes, ... -

Denitrification as the dominant nitrogen loss process in the Arabian Sea
(Nature Publishing Group, 2009)Primary production in over half of the world’s oceans is limited by fixed nitrogen availability. The main loss term from the fixed nitrogen inventory is the production of dinitrogen gas (N sub(2)) by heterotrophic ... -
Coastal structural remains on the east coast of India: Evidence of maritime activities and their significance
(Sharada Publishing House, 2009)Archaeological evidence and literary sources mention that India had several ports and trade centres dating back to the Harappan period onwards. Archaeological explorations and excavations have brought to light a number of ... -
