Two selective novel triterpene glycosides from sea cucumber, Telenata ananas: Inhibitors of chemokine receptor-5
(Pergamon, 2002)The aqueous methanolic extract of a sea cucumber was found to contain two triterpene glycosides 1 and 2. The structures of 1 and 2 were established based on high-resolution NMR studies. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited inhibitory ... -
Ecological observations of major Salicornia beds from highly saline coastal wetlands of India
(Society of Wetland Scientists, 2002)Extensive Salicornia beds along the Gulf of Kutchchh (northwest) and Tamilnadu (southeast) coasts were investigated with respect to vegetative structure and ambient environmental conditions. The width of the beds varied ... -
Status of coral reefs in South Asia: Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Sri Lanka
(Ministry of Environment; Bali; Indonesia, 2002)The most extensive coral reefs in South Asia are found in the atolls of Lakshadweep, Maldives, Chagos and the high islands of Andaman and Nicobar. There are many fringing and offshore patch reefs in India and Sri Lanka. ... -
Status of coral reefs of India
(Ministry of Environment; Bali; Indonesia, 2002)The major reef formations in India are restricted to the Gulf of Mannar, Gulf of Kachchh, Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands. Scattered coral growth has also been reported along certain inter-tidal belts and ... -
The complex estuarine formation of six rivers (Cochin backwaters system on west coast of India) - Sources and distribution of trace metals and nutrients
(Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science; Colombo; Sri Lanka, 2002)The largest backwater system on the western coast of India is the Cochin Backwaters to which 16 major industries discharge nearly 0.104 M m super(3) d super(-1) of wastes containing organic wastes at 260 t d super(-1). The ... -
An evaluation of satellite and in situ based sea surface temperature datasets in the North Indian Ocean region
(Taylor & Francis, 2002)Satellite based daily fields of Pathfinder SST (PFSST) and blended-analysed fields like National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) and Reynolds weekly SST data were ... -
Coliform and human pathogenic bacteria in tourism affected water bodies in North Goa
(Anon, 2002)Microscopic bacteria, which are diverse and preponderant in all ecosystems, sense changes in any environment fast because of their ability to metabolize a variety of chemical substances for their nutrition and growth. In ... -
Progress in the technology of nautical charting
(Marcel Dekker; New York; USA, 2002)This article describes the various methodologies used from time to time for portraying the geographical details of the earth's surface pertaining to the seas, coastal areas, and features of the seabed for general marine ... -
Paleogene plate tectonic evolution of the Arabian and Eastern Somali basins
(Geological Society of London, UK, 2002)Previous models reviewed for the Paleogene tectonic evolution of the Arabian and Eastern Somali basins and present a model based on a new compilation of magnetic and gravity data. Using plate reconstructions, a self-consistent ... -
Paleogene magnetic isochrons and palaeo-propagators in the Arabian and Eastern Somali basins, NW Indian Ocean
(Geological Society of London, UK, 2002)A revised magnetic isochron map of the conjugate Arabian and Eastern Somali basins based on an up-to-date compilation of Indian, French, and other available sea-surface magnetic data are presented. The magnetic anomaly and ... -
Human influences, ecological transitions and uncertainties of extrapolation of risks of selected sea level rise scenarios to India's coastal megacity, Cochin
(IHP-OHP-UNESCO; Bremerhavan; Germany, 2002)Despite the magnitude and urgency of the issue, scientific understanding of climate change and potential risks to Indian coastal cities have not been fulfilled till recently; though it has long been recognized world wide ... -
Hindcasting cyclonic waves using neural networks
(KREC, Surathkal, 2002)Cyclone generated waves play a significant role in the design of coastal and offshore structures. Instead of conventional numerical models, neural network approach is used in the present study to estimate the wave parameters ... -
Recurrent networks for wave forecasting
(IIT, Bombay, 2002)The tremendous increase in offshore operational activities demands improved wave forecasting techniques. With the knowledge of accurate wave conditions, it is possible to carry out the marine activities such as offshore ... -

(Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2002)The Labyrinthulomycetes, comprising Thraustochytrids and Labyrinthulids, are marine osmoheterotrophic straminipilan protists which have been isolated from a variety of habitats all over the world. The limited knowledge on ... -
Long-term in vitro generation of amoebocytes from the Indian horseshoe crab Tachypleus gigas (Muller)
(Springer, 2002)Amoebocyte is the single type of cell circulating in the horseshoe crab hemolymph, which plays a major role in the defense system of the animal. Granules present in these cells are sensitive to nanogram quantities of ... -
Characters of chlorine isotopic composition in ocean water
(2002)The chlorine isotopic composition of ocean water was determined using thermal ionization mass spectrometry based on the measurement of Cs sub(2) Cl sup(+) ion. The results show that the sup(37) Cl/ sup(35) Cl ratios are ... -
Does mining pollution affect foraminiferal distribution in Mandovi estuary, Goa, India?
(Museum d'histoire naturelle de Geneve, 2002)A total of 10 surface sediment samples were collected in the premonsoon season in 1990 from the Mandovi estuary, Goa, India. Study revealed presence of 14 species of foraminifera. The foraminiferal data is of special ... -
