Noble Prize Winners 2014

Subject Area

of Nobel prize Brief Description Image of The Scientist

Economics

French economist Jean Tirole won the 2014 economics

Nobel Prize for his analysis of market power and regu-

lation. Mr. Tirole’s research showed that market regu-

lations should be carefully adapted to the conditions of

specific industries, rather than general regulations such

as price caps which can do more harm than good

Peace

Kailash Satyarthi, 60-year-old child rights activist from

Madhya Pradesh, and Malala Yousafzai, who has

risked her life to wage a campaign for girls’ education

in Pakistan, are the joint winners of this year’s Nobel

Peace Prize.

Nazi occupation and its effect on his country, was

awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Modiano, 69,

Prix Goncourt in 1978 was born in a west Paris suburb

two months after World War II ended in Europe in Ju-

ly 1945.

Americans Eric Betzig and William Moerner and Ger-

man scientist Stefan Hell won the Nobel Prize in

chemistry. The three scientists were cited for “the de-

velopment of super-resolved fluorescence microsco-

py,” which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences

said had bypassed the maximum resolution of tradi-

tional optical microscopes.

Physics

Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano of Japan and U.S.

scientist Shuji Nakamura won the Nobel Prize in phys-

ics for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes a

new energy efficient and environment-friendly light

Catalogue of videocassettes in the Library

BPCL has started cataloguing of our Videocassettes collection in the Library so that it can be searched and

used as and when required. There are approx. 700 Videocassettes available in the library and we will finish

entry of all the cassettes within 1/2 weeks in Koha platform. The above resources can be accessed from:

After an year of continuous untiring efforts to develop our library to support the teaching and research activi-

ties of NIT Rourkela, BPCL team went for a picnic for refreshment and energize more for upcoming

challenges. We visited Khandadhar, Sundergarh which is famous for India’s natural water fall approx. 90 KM

from our NIT Rourkela. We found the place very beautiful as well as it is also a rich source of Iron ore which

can be observed on rusty colored Rocks. To visit the place, sports shoes is needed with good spoke if anybody

wants to reach near the top of the fall to enjoy bathing in falling water; it is almost 1 KM of height from

ground level.
