    AbstractWe characterize atomic Hardy spaces on unbounded locally compact Vilenkin groups by means of a modified maximal function. The obtained Fourier multiplier theorem is more general than the corresponding results due to Kitada, Onneweer and Quek, Daly and Phillips that were proved under the boundedness assumption on the underlying group

    We consider a family of (2,1)(2,1)-rational functions given on the set of pp-adic field QpQ_p. Each such function has a unique fixed point. We study ergodicity properties of the dynamical systems generated by (2,1)(2,1)-rational functions. For each such function we describe all possible invariant spheres. We characterize ergodicity of each pp-adic dynamical system with respect to Haar measure reduced on each invariant sphere. In particular, we found an invariant spheres on which the dynamical system is ergodic and on all other invariant spheres the dynamical systems are not ergodic

    Call Rating based on Objective Data Extraction

    Interaction channels are special opportunities to improve customer satisfaction by offering a consistent problem-solving experience. Contact center employees are the link between the company and the customer. They are responsible for maintaining an appropriate relationship between the company and the customer. So, they are personally responsible for the customer experience. In this paper, we present an objective evaluation method for evaluating customer-agent interaction, i.e., evaluating the effectiveness of the realization of customer requests from calls. The evaluation method is automatic and does not depend on the relationship between the call center manager and the employees. The motivation for evaluating calls stems from the key performance characteristics of a contact center, of which we particularly emphasize service time, first call resolution, handling time, and others

    Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printers have gained significant popularity in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. In this study, a new biomaterial filament was developed by preparing a polylactic acid (PLA)/ calcium peroxide (CPO) composite using wet solution mixing and extrusion. The content of CPO varied from 3% to 24% wt., and hot-melt extruder parameters were optimised to fabricate 3D printable composite filaments. The filaments were characterised using an X-ray diffraction analysis, surface morphology assessment, evaluation of filament extrudability, microstructural analysis, and examination of their rheological and mechanical properties. Our findings indicate that increasing the CPO content resulted in increased viscosity at 200 °C, while the PLA/CPO samples showed microstructural changes from crystalline to amorphous. The mechanical strength and ductility of the composite filaments decreased except for the 6% CPO filament. Due to its acceptable surface morphology and strength, the PLA/CPO filament with 6% CPO was selected for printability testing. The 3D-printed sample of a bone scaffold exhibited good printing quality, demonstrating the potential of the PLA/CPO filament as an improved biocompatible filament for FDM 3D printing

    A negative refractive index metamaterial based on a cubic array of layered nonmagnetic spherical particles

    No full text
    Abstract—A low-loss passive metamaterial exhibiting negative refractive index or “double negative ” electromagnetic properties at microwave frequencies is proposed. The metamaterial is a lattice of spherical particles made up of multiple dielectric materials in concentric layers. Because no magnetic constituents (that tend to have higher losses) are involved, the negative-index behavior is possible with very low values of attenuation. A negative-index metamaterial based on dielectric-coated metal spheres is also proposed, and is predicted to have lower attenuation than other structures based on metallic scatterers. Numerical results and design principles are given. 1
