Heat transfer in flow past a continuously moving porous flat plate with heat flux
(Springer, 1985)The analysis of the heat transfer in flow past a continuously moving semi-infinite plate in the presence of suction/ injection with heat flux has been presented. Similarity solutions have been derived and the resulting ... -
Evidence for Indo-Roman trade from Bet Dwarka waters, west coast of India
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)India had a very active maritime trade contact with the Roman world between the 4th century BC and the 4th century AD. In this context recent finds of stone anchors, potsherds, lead anchors and a lead ingot from 5 to 8 m ... -
Studies on elephant tusks and hippopotamus teeth collected from the early 17th century Portuguese shipwreck off Goa, West coast of India: Evidence of maritime trade between Goa, Portugal and African countries
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)Shipwreck findings are indicators of the provenance of artefacts and trade routes. Many shipwrecks datable from the Bronze Age to the modern period have been excavated to yield numerous varieties of artefacts including ... -
Analysis of chlorophyll pigment concentration in the northern Arabian Sea using remote sensing and GIS
(2007)The phytoplankton in the ocean plays an important role not only because it produces food that sustains the marine life, but also it is capable of regulating CO2 and there by influencing the climate of the earth system. It ... -

Marine nitrogen cycling- Some recent observations in the northwestern Indian Ocean
(Trivandrum: University of Kerala, 1987)Published estimates of the rate of denitrification in the Arabian Sea have been evaluated and some new data on the nitrogen cycle have been presented Secondary nitrite maxima and nitrate reduction appear to be associated ... -
Distribution of toxic metals, Hg, Cd and Pb in zooplankton along the Indian coasts
(Trivandrum: University of Kerala, 1987)Distribution of toxic metals such as Hg, Cd and Pb in zooplankton is assessed with a view to correlate it with the prevalent environmental conditions along the Indian coast. While Hg could not be detected in zooplankton ... -
Studies on Evaporation from the North Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Evaporation from the surface of the North Indian Ocean is estimated following the aerodynamic approach The influence of the southwest monsoon and the northeast monsoon is significant giving rise to maximum evaporation from ... -
Temperature distribution in the upper layers of the northern and eastern Arabian Sea during Indo-Soviet monsoon experiment
(India Meteorological Dept, 1976)Scientific cruises were Carried out by the ships of the Indian Navy along one zonal section (along 20 degrees N Lat.) and one meridional section, (along 71 degrees-30 degrees E Long.) in the Arabian Sea during May, June ... -
Biogeochemistry of the North Indian Ocean
(Indian National Science Academy, 2006)Biogeochemistry is a subject wherein geochemical and biological processes occurring in the upper layers of the Earth, including atmosphere, are studied together. Many of the climatically important gases influencing the ... -
Numerical prediction of shoreline adjacent to breakwater
(IIT Bombay, 1985)Existing mathematical models for prediction of shoreline changes in the vicinity of a breakwater were reviewed The analytical and numerical results obtained from these models have been compared Under the numerical approach, ... -
Mineral resources of the Indian Ocean and related scientific research
(1985)The Indian Ocean (area: 74.917 x 106 km2, water volume: 291.945 x 106 km3, average depth: 3897 m) is the third largest of the world oceans. The lands bordering the ocean contain almost 40 percent of the world's population ... -
Nitrogen transformations as inferred from the activities of key enzymes in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Elsevier, 2006)Vertical distributions of the potential activities of some key enzymes mediating nitrification and denitrification were investigated within the oxygen (O2) minimum zone of the Arabian Sea at a number of locations between ... -
Need for setback lines in coastal zone management: a meteorological point of view
(IMD, Mumbai, 2002)Hydrometeorological events are the greatest coastal hazard for the Indian people. The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, which includes areas likely to be flooded by sea level rise due to global warming should, ... -
Restoration of sand dunes along human-altered coasts: a scheme for Miramar beach, Goa
(IGIDR, Mumbai, 2002)This paper examines the state of sand dunes of a developed coast by taking the tourist beach of Miramar (Goa), India as an example. Human actions are responsible for the degradation and elimination of these geomorphic ...
