Annual cycle of sea surface temperature in the North Indian Ocean
Sea surface temperature (SST) plays a pivotal role in determining Earth’s climate and its variability through air-sea interaction. Therefore, understanding the variation of SST on different spatio-temporal scales is one ... -
Empirical Prediction and Predictability of Dry and Wet Spells of the Indian Summer Monsoon
n active (break) phase of intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) of the Indian summer monsoon is associated with a wet (dry) spell over the monsoon trough region and a dry (wet) spell over the equatorial Indian Ocean. Prediction ... -
Experimental investigation of turbulent bursts in the atmospheric surface layer over the tropics
Turbulence, an important characteristic of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), is mainly responsible for the transport of heat, moisture, momentum, pollutants, etc., in the atmosphere. As with any turbulent flow, our ... -
Impact of water mass forcing on the general circulation model simulations
The mass continuity equation traditionally used in atmospheric models does not take into account the local sources and sinks. The mass of the atmosphere varies due to the moisture variation arising from evaporation and ... -
Seasonal variation of the zonally symmetric tropical circulation in a simple climate ,model
A low-order model of the zonally symmetric tropical circulation is developed. The model equations are linearized about a resting basic state and are solved on an equatorial beta-plane. The circulation is forced by the solar ... -
In vitro studies on the biosynthesis of allergens of parhenium hysterophorus and cytotoxicity of parthenin
Parthenium hysterophorus, like several other members of the Compositae, causes allergic contact dermatitis and hay-fever in humans. Besides this, it is also ecologically dominant and is toxic to livestock. The allergic ... -
Studies on the protein components of elastoid in from shark fins and the proteins of grain sorghum
Abstract not available -
Functional characterization of heat shock proteins 40 from plasmodium falciparum
Molecular chaperones are ubiquitous proteins that assist in the folding and unfolding or assembly and disassembly of other proteins or protein complexes. One of the first experiments that led to the discovery of these ... -
Saccharomyces cerevisiae meiosis-specific hop1 protein and its putative zinc-finger motif promote synapsis between double-stranded DNA helices : a role for guanine quartets in ininterstitial pairing
Meiosis is an evolutionarily conserved biological process that allows genetic exchange between paternal and maternal genomes in all sexually reproducing species. The hallmark features of meiosis include pairing of homologous ... -
Studies on two calcium-dependent protein kinase isoforms CaCPKI and CaCPK2 from chickpea ( cicer arietinum L.) : Moleccular cloning, differential expression, Biochemical characterization and localization
Crop plants are constantly exposed to pathogens and various environmental stresses, such as cold, salinity, and drought that cause major losses in productivity. Plants normally respond rapidly to these biotic and abiotic ... -
Structural, functional and immunological characterization of recombinant riboflavin carrier protein expressed in baculovirus system and molecular modelling of GnRH specific single chain fragment variable
Structural, Functional, and Immunological Characterization of Recombinant Riboflavin Carrier Protein Expressed in Baculovirus System and Molecular Modeling of GnRH-Specific Single Chain Fragment Variable This thesis is an ... -
Functional characterization of PepN, an aminoendopeptidase in escherichia coli, and its implications in cytosolic protein degradation
Functional Characterization of PepN, an Aminoendopeptidase in Escherichia coli, and Its Implications in Cytosolic Protein Degradation Steady-state levels of cellular proteins are maintained by a balance between their rates ... -
Chemical and biological studies on some natural and synthetic antimicrobial substances
The eventful developments of chemotherapy and the growth in our concepts of the treatment of infective diseases, from Ehrlich to the present day, have been briefly traced, stressing the outstanding practical achievements. ...
