The reports of hyperserotonaemia in chronic schizophrenics and the indications that fenfluramine, a serotonin-releasing drug, may be of therapeutic value in hyperserotonaemic autistic children, were the rationale for this clinical trial.... more
We present results from complimentary measurements of physical and optical properties of aerosols carried out at Delhi, as part of the Indian Space Research Organization Geosphere Biosphere... more
Study of Atmospheric Forcing and Responses (SAFAR) is a five year (2009-2014) research programme specifically to address the responses of the earth's atmosphere to both natural and anthropogenic forcings using a host of collocated... more
Ultraviolet (UV) rays have harmful effects on living organisms and plants. Information on UV radiation is also needed for modeling chemical processes in the atmosphere. Therefore, there is a wide interest in estimating UV flux reaching... more
Aerosols play a very significant role in determining earth's climate, but to study their quantitative effect is a challenging task due to their high spatial and temporal variability. The data from MODIS on-board Terra satellite during... more
"In the present study we compare the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) data with that obtained from operating sky-radiometer at a remote rural location in southern India (Gadanki,... more
