Upwelling promotes marine productivity through water column mixing. The process disturbs the ecosystem, causing oxygen depletion and thermal variability. This study analyses effect of upwelling processes on microbial signature in coastal waters off Mumbai. The coastal environment with seasonal reversal winds was analysed using data during ten cruises. Coastal metocean processes are examined using water quality parameters and the Ekman approximation with wind stress. This analysis explains oxygen depletion and coastal upwelling, influenced by seasonal reversal wind pattern. The study connects hypoxia in the coastal water column to wind-induced upwelling. Concurrently, microbial structure is assessed through metrics such as Total Viable Count, Total Bacterial Count, Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB), and denitrifiers. Notably, high levels of SRB are observed during hypoxia associated with coastal upwelling. This study investigates microbial level with combined result of physical processes and water quality parameters.

Moringa oleifera, widely utilized in Ayurvedic medicine, is recognized for its leaves, seeds, and velamen possessing traditional effects such as vātahara(wind alleviation), sirovirecaka(brain clearing), and hridya(mental nourishment). This study aims to identify the medicinal part of ■ in the Sārasvata ghee formulation as described in the Bower Manuscript, while investigating the ameliorative effects of different medicinal parts of M. oleifera on learning and memory deficits in mice and elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms.

In this study, we present a class of thin-film crosslinked (TFX) composite reverse osmosis (RO) membranes that resist physical compaction at ultrahigh pressures (up to 200 bar). Since RO membranes experience compaction at virtually all pressure ranges, the ability to resist compaction has widespread implications for RO membrane technology. The process described herein involves crosslinking a phase inverted porous polyimide (PI) support membrane followed by interfacial polymerization of a polyamide layer, thereby forming a fully thermoset composite membrane structure.

Selenide amorphous alloys are of interest for applications in selector devices that exploit a sort of reversible dielectric breakdown called ovonic threshold switching. In the on-state of the device, the system is typically brought into the supercooled liquid phase above the glass transition temperature, where the atomic mobility is sufficiently high to cause demixing driven by the electric field. The electromigration force F responsible for ionic migration is proportional to the electric field E via the effective charge Z* (F = |e|Z*E, where e is the electron charge), which is thus of great relevance for the electrothermal modeling of the devices.

As the global greenhouse effect intensifies, the emission and balance of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO), have become crucial for achieving global carbon neutrality. Volcanic geothermal regions, as major natural sources of carbon emissions, release substantial volume of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere in various ways including volcanic eruptions, soil microseepages, vents, and hot springs. Among these, soil microseepages are particularly important due to their widespread and persistent nature.

Hypothesis: Ice accretion on cold solid surfaces, often resulting from the impact and freezing of supercooled water drops (SLD), poses critical challenges in aviation, energy systems, and infrastructure. In practice, some drops freeze with dendritic structures-forming a solid-liquid mixture (mushy region) that may cause refreezing downstream (runback ice)-while others freeze without dendrites. We hypothesize this depends on the relative thicknesses of the propagating ice layer and the supercooled liquid layer.
