Over the past three decades heavy metal pollution has increased substantially in Cochin estuary, south west coast of India. Here we studied the distribution, diversity and enzyme expression profile of culturable microbial population along a pollution gradient. The distribution of resistance against 5 mM concentration of Zn, Co, Ni and Cu was observed among 90-100% of bacterial isolates retrieve...

Heavy metal pollution is of particular concern as they have deleterious effects on biota through mobilization and accumulation in various trophic levels. The present study mainly focused on the water pollution by heavy metals in Cochin estuary and two adjoining rivers. The methods include seasonal collection of surface water from the study area and their subsequent heavy metal analysis. The stu...

Lindley-Singpurwalla (1986)’s bivariate Pareto distribution is one of the most popular bivariate Pareto distribution. Sankaran and Nair (1993) proposed a new bivariate Pareto distribution which also has Pareto marginals and it contains LindleySingpurwalla’s bivariate Pareto model as a special case. It has several other interesting properties also. In this paper we re-visit Sankaran and Nair’s b...
