Welcome to the IDR @ NISER, Bhubaneswar
The NISER Institutional Repository has been created by the Central Library, NISER to showcase, organize, share, and preserve the scholarly output of National Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhubaneswar. The Repository is designed to facilitate scholarly communication by providing access to the knowledge resources created by NISER and preserving the same for future generations of scholars. This repository is running on Dspace, an open source software platform, and facilitates its users with advance searching and browsing options.

This book explores the latest developments in the field the acute phase protein (APP), C-reactive protein or CRP in different diseases, highlighting the structural and functional aspects of CRP in disease biology. Divided into 5 sections, the book examines important topics such as the role of CRP in neurodegenerative, cardiac and parasitic diseases, as well as in cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, and the expression of CRP in pediatric respiratory diseases. In addition it discusses the...
This book collects the papers presented at the Conference on Number Theory, held at the Kerala School of Mathematics, Kozhikode, Kerala, India, from December 10–14, 2018. The conference aimed at bringing the active number theorists and researchers in automorphic forms and allied areas to demonstrate their current research works. This book benefits young research scholars, postdoctoral fellows, and young faculty members working in these areas of research.
Stem cells hold great promise for cell therapy, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications. This book highlights the potency of stem cells, their property of self-renewal and their ability to differentiate into different cell lineages. It further describes the different markers to identify stem cells, sources, methods of isolation, culture including 2D, 3D and beyond and their cryopreservation. This is among the first books to discuss glycos...
Elliptic flow (v2) values for identified particles at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions, measured by the STAR experiment in the beam energy scan at RHIC at √sNN =7.7–62.4 GeV, are presented. A beam energy-dependent difference of the values of v2 between particles and corresponding antiparticles was observed. The difference increases with decreasing beam energy and is larger for baryons compared to mesons. This implies that, at lower energies, particles and antiparticles are not consistent with ...
Jet-medium interactions are studied via a multihadron correlation technique (called “2+1”), where a pair of back-to-back hadron triggers with large transverse momentum is used as a proxy for a di-jet. This work extends the previous analysis for nearly symmetric trigger pairs with the highest momentum threshold of trigger hadron of 5 GeV/c with the new calorimeter-based triggers with energy thresholds of up to 10 GeV and above. The distributions of associated hadrons are studied in terms of co...
Depletion interaction between an infinite repulsive potential and larger species in a binary mixture is known to arise when the binary mixture is confined by hard or soft repulsive balls. We report that such depletion interactions can arise even if the binary mixture is subjected to a finite potential barrier. This leads to an increased number density of large particles in the region of potential barrier and subsequently to a microstructural domain formation. We investigate the effect of rela...
The kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet is mapped onto an effective Hamiltonian on the star superlattice by contractor renormalization. A comparison of ground-state energies on large lattices to density matrix renormalization group justifies truncation of effective interactions at range 3 (36 sites). Within our accuracy, magnetic and translational symmetries are not broken (i.e., a spin liquid ground state). However, we discover doublet spectral degeneracies which signal the onset of p6 chirali...
We study and solve some variations of the random K-satisfiability (K-SAT) problem—balanced K-SAT and biased random K-SAT—on a regular tree, using techniques we have developed earlier. In both these problems as well as variations of these that we have looked at, we find that the transition from the satisfiable to the unsatisfiable regime obtained on the Bethe lattice matches the exact threshold for the same model on a random graph for K=2 and is very close to the numerical value obtained for K...
