Can undersea voltage measurements detect tsunamis?
(Terrapub, 2010)
The movement of electrically conducting ocean water in the ambient geomagnetic field induces secondary electric and magnetic fields in the oceans. Ocean water transport is now routinely inferred from undersea cable voltage ...
Geochemical characterisation of major and trace elements in the coastal sediments of India
(Springer, 2010)
Thirty-five surface sediment samples from the Indian continental shelf were recovered offshore from the mouths of the major rivers (Brahmaputra, Ganges, Narmada, Tapti, Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery) discharging into the ...
Identification of upregulated immune-related genes in Vibrio harveyi challenged Penaeus monodon postlarvae
(Elsevier, 2010)
A subtracted cDNA library was constructed and analyzed to elucidate the response of Penaeus monodon postlarvae challenged with Vibrio harveyi. As many as 960 randomly selected cDNA fragments generated through suppression ...
A multi-sensor study of conditions leading to the formation of a cyclone over the Arabian Sea during 5–9 May 2004
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
The present study investigates the conditions leading to the formation of a cyclone over the Arabian Sea using in situ, buoy, Argo floats, island, satellite, reanalysis and blended datasets. Cyclogenesis parameters, such ...
Oceanic and atmospheric influences on the variability of phytoplankton bloom in the southwestern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2010)
The phytoplankton bloom developed in the southwestern Indian Ocean during austral summer is unique in its occurrence. Interannual and intraannual variability of this large phytoplankton bloom were studied using satellite ...
Isolation and characterization of novel plant growth promoting Micrococcus sp NII-0909 and its interaction with cowpea
(Elsevier, 2010)
A phosphate-solubilizing bacterial strain NII-0909 isolated from the Western ghat forest soil in India was identified as Micrococcus sp on the basis of phenotypic characteristics, carbon source utilization pattern, fatty ...
Antibacterial phenolics from the mangrove Lumnitzera racemosa
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Antimicrobial activity of the methanolic extract and fractions of Lumnitzera racemosa was evaluated against fungi, virus and pathogenic bacteria. Crude methanolic extract and n-butanol fraction were ineffective against ...
Syed Mahmood Naqvi (27 August 1941 - 04 September 2009)
(Indian National Science Academy (INSA), 2010)
A short biography of the geologist Syed Mahmood Naqvi. A brief summary of his research achievements and professional life is also included
Distribution, reproductive biology and biochemical composition of Rhopalophthalmus indicus (Crustacea: Mysida) from a tropical estuary (Cochin backwater) in India
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
Distribution, reproductive biology and biochemical composition of Rhopalophthalmus indicus were investigated based on samples collected over a period of one year from Cochin backwater. Rhopalophthalmus indicus was recorded ...
Importance of upper ocean heat content in the intensification and translation speed of cyclones over the Bay of Bengal
(Current Science Association, 2010)
An attempt has been made to examine the relationship between UOHC and Uh for the severe cyclones during 1990-2006. Uh has been computed from 6 h track positions of each storm (www.imd.gov.in; T3.0 onwards) and the corresponding ...
