Human interreference along the coast of Goa
(Bookwell, India, 2000)Till the 1970's the Goan coast in India was largely pristine and unsullied, as most coastal activities were located away from and behind sand dunes. A distinct harmony prevailed between man and nature. During the last two ... -
Some observations on the state of coastal environment of Goa, west coast of India
(Integrated Coastal and Marine Area Management Project Directorate, India, 1999)The coastal zone of Goa had been exclusively used for agriculture, farming, shell fishing, traditional fishing and low key recreation. Native Goans used the shoreline and the hinterland water bodies to fish by using hand-cast ... -
Errata to: Some aspects of microbiological characteristics in the nearshore waters of Bombay

On the upwelling off the Southern Tip and along the west coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2008)The processes of upwelling off the southern tip (the Kanyakumari coast) and the west coast of India are highly localized features with different forcing mechanisms, and they cannot be treated as a uniform wind-driven ... -
Abundance and community structure of chaetognaths in the northern Indian Ocean
(The Plankton Society of Japan, 2002)Abundance and community structure of chaetognaths in the northern Indian Ocean was investigated based on zooplankton samples collected during January to February 1990. Three types of sampling were done: from the upper ... -

Response of benthic foraminifera Rosalina leei to different temperature and salinity, under laboratory culture experiment
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2008)Live specimens of benthic foraminiferal species Rosalina leei were subjected to a combination of temperature (25 degrees C, 30 degrees C and 35 degrees C) and salinity (25 ppt, 30 ppt, and 35 ppt) to assess its differential ... -
New sequential separation procedure for Sr, Nd and Pb isotope ratio measurement in geological material using MC-ICP-MS and TIMS
(The Geochemical Society of Japan, 2008)A new 3-step sequential separation chemistry for Sr, Nd and Pb from silicate samples, which is suitable for isotope analysis by MC-ICP-MS as well as TIMS, has been developed. The chemistry is designed to minimize the number ... -
Morphology and tectonics of Mahanadi Basin, northeastern continental margin of India from geophysical studies
(Elsevier, 2008)The bathymetry, total intensity magnetic and satellite free-air gravity data over the eastern continental margin of India between the latitudes 18 degrees 30 minutes N and 20 degrees N within the water depths of 25-2300 m ... -
Sand fences: An environment-friendly technique to restore degraded coastal dunes
(Geological Society Of India, 2008)An experiment to rebuild a dune field is attempted at Miramar beach, Goa, India. Installation of sand fences, a simple, cheap and environment friendly method of inducing accretion of sand is proposed as a remedial management ... -
Isostatic response of the Laccadive Ridge from admittance analysis of gravity and bathymetry data
(Elsevier, 2008)The Laccadive Ridge (L-R), trending roughly parallel to the west coast of India, is an intriguing segmentof the northernmost Chagos-Laccadive Ridge (C-L-R) system. Although crustal nature and isostatic response of the ... -
Geotechnical characteristics of siliceous sediments from the Central Indian Basin
(Current Science Association, 2008)Geotechnical properties and grain size analysis of surface sediments from the CIB showed silty clays of high porosity due to loose fabric of very fine particles, bioturbation and radiolarian tests. Their water content ... -
Morphotectonics of the Carlsberg Ridge between 62 degrees 20 minutes and 66 degrees 20 minutes E, northwest Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2008)The segmentation pattern of 440 km long section of the Carlsberg Ridge between 62 degrees 20 minutes E and 66 degrees 20 minutes E, in the northwest Indian Ocean, has been studied using multibeam bathymetry and magnetic ... -
Abiotic oxidation of pyrite by Fe(III) in acidic media and its implications for sulfur isotope measurements of lattice-bound sulfate in sediments
(Elsevier, 2008)We have evaluated the relative importance of Fe sup(3+) to dissolved oxygen in pyrite oxidation, and its implications for measuring an accurate sulfur isotope composition (delta Sup(34) S) in trace sulfates extracted from ... -
Possible factors that control calcite dissolution in the western tropical Indian Ocean
(Current Science Association, 2008)Calcite dissolution in marine sediments is known to be driven by the degree of saturation state with respect to calcium carbonate, of overlying bottom waters. Three paleocarbonateion proxies, planktonic foraminifer size ... -
Blooms of Noctiluca miliaris in the Arabian Sea - An in situ and satellite study
(Elsevier, 2008)Phytoplankton cell density, chlorophyll a (chl a) concentration and pigment data collected during a series of five cruises in the northern Arabian Sea in the Northeast Monsoon (NEM, Nov-Jan) and the Spring Intermonsoon ... -
An overview of Suctorian ciliates (Ciliophora, Suctorea) as epibionts of halacarid mites (Acari, Halacaridae)
(Magnolia Press, 2008)Scant information is available regarding the prevalence and distribution of suctorian ciliates on halacarid mites. However, using this limited information and data from our laboratory on the systematics, biology, ecology ... -
Bifunctional xylanases and their potential use in biotechnology
(Society for Industrial Microbiology, 2008)Plant cell walls are comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose and other polymers that are intertwined. This complex structure acts as a barrier to degradation by single enzyme. Thus, a cocktail consisting of bi and multifunctional ...
