The bioremediation process uses microorganisms or their enzymes to remove or neutralize environmental contaminants in soil and water, restoring them to their original condition. Hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria become functionally active in oil-contaminated environments, where they play a key role in degrading hydrocarbons.
An IoT-based device for fish farmers provides real-time fish weight estimation, supports efficient feed control, and enables timely harvesting decisions. It delivers field-level insights directly through SMS, assists in effective farm management, reduces feed wastage and input costs, and supports both grid-connected and off-grid power modes.
Drifting buoys are widely deployed to measure near-surface ocean currents and temperature. In India, drifting buoys have been indigenized with geostationary satellite communication (INSAT), enabling near real-time data transmission at hourly intervals.
A shallow-water Chirp sub-bottom profiler has been developed to profile the seabed with penetration up to 1 m in fine sand and clay, and is operable in water depths of up to 30 m. It is a tow-body–based sonar system that can be deployed behind a vessel, including in very shallow waters where small fishing vessels can operate effectively.
An Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) is a temperature probe that is deployed into the ocean from a ship, either manually or using an automatic launching system. In this conventional method, temperature profiles are recorded as the probe descends at a known rate through the upper ocean layers (up to approximately 500 m). The system operates using a fine wire connection for data transmission during deployment, after which the probe is expendable and not recovered.
The AUPD is a common underwater platform that carries a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) sensor to profile seawater measurements at pre-determined depths. These floats drift freely at a specified parking depth and periodically ascend to the sea surface to transmit data via satellite, before descending back to their parking depth to begin the next measurement cycle. A typical operational cycle duration is approximately two days.
Deep water electric work class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) ROSUB6000 (capable of opera ngup to 6000m water depth and 500m depth rated for shallow water applica ons) is developed tomap the coral reefs, to examine the corals and assess the extentof damage or rejuvena- on that might be taking place since the great damages happened earlier.
The modular, streamlined structure allows easy integration of additional payloads with minimal effort and significantly reduced drag, without altering the original configuration. The system remains stable against roll motion, making it well-suited for seabed mapping applications as well as related scientific data collection.
This invention introduces a groundbreaking, one-step solid-state reaction method for synthesizing the highly conductive octahedral phase (1T) of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanosheets, exemplified by tungsten disulfide, specifically for use in high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. Unlike existing complex and costly methods, this simplified process involves grinding TMDC precursors with a doping agent (e.g., iridium (III) acetylacetonate) and then subjecting the mixture to controlled heating under a nitrogen atmosphere.
