About the Cover

Hadean initial stage of the formation of planet Earth was characterized the most basaltic volcanism in the geological history of the planet, which formed a thick (15-20 km) metabasalt layer of the modern continents. The height of individual volcanoes reaching heights of 40-60 km – the greatest height among volcanoes on terrestrial planets that is especially true for the earth's crust in the Arctic. Over the long-term geological history of the Earth many high volcano mountains have been greatly eroded - up to a height of 2-3 km. In the Pleistocene these mountain roots were covered with a thick cover of glaciers, while in the Holocene they collapsed on vertical faults and turned into deep-water grabens filled with the water of the young Arctic Ocean.

Gender perspective and effectiveness of group dynamics in women empowerment: a study on Self help group initiative in mussel farming along the Malabar Coast, Southern India

Vipinkumar VP, Asokan PK, Mohamed KS, Kripa V, Geetha Sasikumar, Vidya R, Athira PV

Mussel culture proved as one of the profitable ventures in marine fisheries sector of Kerala, successfully undertaken by women’s Self Help Groups (SHGs). The practical dissemination of bivalve farming technologies in the potential maritime locations in Malabar coasts was undertaken in Kadalundy of Vallikkunnu grampanchayat in Malappuram district of northern Kerala.

RESEARCH

Phytoremediation of Cyanide and Phenol from Wastewater by Zea Mays (Maize) plants

Anupama Kumari, Chandrajit Balomajumder

The constituents of waste water from coke industry have various pollutants, but cyanide and phenol are more toxic pollutants in the environment. In this study the treatment of waste water was done by the maize plants using phytoremediation method.

RESEARCH

Reservoir Characterization using Model Based Inversion and Probabilistic Neural Network

Maurya SP, Singh KH

Seismic Reservoir Characterization (Reservoir Geophysics) is one of the most significant components of the seismic data interpretation. This paper describes a successful application of model based seismic inversion technique and Probabilistic Neural Network to post-stack seismic data for detection of hydrocarbon reservoir zones.
