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.

The potency of biomolecules assures therapy for as well as prevention of many disorders. However, their stability and delivery to the site of action remain a major challenge for successful therapeutic application. With advantages of nanoformulations, such as systemic environmental protection, controlled and site specific release, many of these bio-molecules have found their place in preventive, curative, or immunization-based therapies. Nanoformulations have indeed become a boon for the deliv...
A hitherto unknown meso-tetrakis(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)N-confused porphyrin (NCPH) was synthesized and characterized. The typical 3H and 2H tautomeric existence of the N-confused derivative was controlled exclusively by protic and aprotic solvents rather than the established polar and non-polar driving forces. An unprecedented morphological change controlled by two tautomeric forms of NCPH during aggregation was investigated.
A search for a Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson and a photon is described. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision datasets recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. Events were collected at center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.0fb-1 and 19.6fb-1, respectively. The selected events are required to have opposite-sign electron or muon pairs. No excess above standard model predictions has been found in the 120-160 GeV mass ran...
In this paper measurements are presented of π±, K ±, p, and p̄ production at midrapidity (|y|<0.5), in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV as a function of centrality. The measurement covers the transverse-momentum (pT) range from 100, 200, and 300 MeV/c up to 3, 3, and 4.6 GeV/c for π, K, and p, respectively. The measured pT distributions and yields are compared to expectations based on hydrodynamic, thermal and recombination models. The spectral shapes of central collisions show a stronger ra...
This publication describes the methods used to measure the centrality of inelastic Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per colliding nucleon pair with ALICE. The centrality is a key parameter in the study of the properties of QCD matter at extreme temperature and energy density, because it is directly related to the initial overlap region of the colliding nuclei. Geometrical properties of the collision, such as the number of participating nucleons and the number of binary ...
We report on the first measurement of inclusive J/ψ elliptic flow v2 in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. The measurement is performed with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV in the rapidity range 2.5<y<4.0. The dependence of the J/ψ v2 on the collision centrality and on the J/ψ transverse momentum is studied in the range 0≤pT<10 GeV/c. For semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV, an indication of nonzero v2 is observed with a largest measured value of v2=0.116±0.046...
Tunnel junctions incorporating GdN ferromagnetic semiconductor barriers show a spin polarization exceeding 90% and a high conductance. These devices show an unusual low-bias conductance peak arising from a strong bias-dependence of the spin polarization. This originates from a strong magneto-electric coupling within a double Schottky barrier formed with the NbN electrodes.
Study of the dynamics of H2CO confined within graphene sheets and sensing of H2CO by graphene require an analytic representation of the intermolecular potential between H2CO and graphene. To develop an intermolecular potential for H2CO interacting with graphene, ab initio calculations were performed at the MP2/MG3S, B97-D/MG3S and LPNO-CEPA/1/CBS levels of theory using H2CO–pyrene as a model. The intermolecular interactions were computed for three different orientations of formaldehyde approa...
