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

Americans Eric Betzig and William Moerner and Ger-
man scientist Stefan Hell won the Nobel Prize in

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.

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.
