The recent first-field phase of Indian Ocean Experiment has provided various types of aerosol data over the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. Using optical sensors on-board numerous satellites, global aerosol parameters have been estimated by many workers. In this communication, we have used IRS P4 OCM data to retrieve the aerosol parameters over the Arabian Sea and the Bay o...

Rabbit corneal endothelial cells demonstrated an increase of endothelial membrane permeability to inulin following perfusion with 5 X 10(-6) M rose bengal and exposure to 1050 muW/cm2 incandescent light for either 1 min or 5 min when compared to corneas similarly perfused with rose bengal but not exposed to light. Endothelial permeability to dextran was unaltered following the photosensitizatio...

We investigated the role of singlet oxygen (generated from photoactivation of rose bengal) on the calcium transport and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Isolated cardiac SR exposed to rose bengal (10 nM) irradiated at 560 nm resulted in significant inhibition of Ca2+ uptake (from 2.27 +/- 0.05 to 0.62 +/- 0.05 mumol Ca2+/mg.min [mean +/- SEM], p less than 0.01) and...

Significant quantities of carbon soot aerosols are emitted into pristine parts of the atmosphere by marine shipping. Soot impacts the radiative balance of the Earth-atmosphere system by absorbing solar-terrestrial radiation and modifies the microphysical properties of clouds. Here we examined the impact of black carbon (BC) on net warming during monsoon season over southern Bay-of-Bengal, using...

OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress is a serious complication in diabetic patients. Black tea and also sour tea contained some flavonoids with antioxidant properties and may be helpful in prevention of lipid oxidation. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of sour tea and black tea on in-vitro copper induced serum lipids oxidizability in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this se...

This paper attempts to examine the physical and financial performance of some primary dairy co-operatives in west Bengal state in Indian context. The study suggests that financial performance indicators dominate over physical ones, and all the dominating variables have long term positive impact on primary milk producers’ co-operative societies (PMPCSs). Also, the significant impact of financial...
