A Study on Agewise Satisfaction Level of Customers in Banking Sector

As a sequel to market diversification and deregulation as a part of financial sector reforms, the banking industry has been exposed to a fiercely competitive environment epitomized by the emergence of a ‘buyers market’. The gradual entry of private and foreign banks into Indian banking industry has transformed the hitherto protected and regulated banking environment to a liberalized and highly competitive one. In this changed banking scenario, the importance and significance of the customers has increased manifold. The dictum bank exists because of its customers’ has become more pronounced and relevant in the present context.  Banks have to devise suitable systems and mechanisms to satisfy the needs and expectations of various segments of customers for their survival.                Against this backdrop, this above matter attempts to introspect about the past, makes an assessment of the present and outlines the strategy for the future in the context of customer service in banks

Global polarization of Λ and Λ hyperons in Pb-Pb collisions at √ s N N = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV

The global polarization of Λ and Λ hyperons is measured for Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV recorded with the ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results are reported differentially as a function of collision centrality and hyperon’s transverse momentum (pT ) for the range of centrality 5–50%, 0.5 < pT < 5 GeV/c, and rapidity |y| < 0.5. The hyperon global polarization averaged for Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV is found to be consistent with zero, ⟨PH⟩(%)≈0.01±0.06(stat.)±0.03(syst.) in the collision centrality range 15–50%, where the largest signal is expected. The results are compatible with expectations based on an extrapolation from measurements at lower collision energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, hydrodynamical model calculations, and empirical estimates based on collision energy dependence of directed flow, all of which predict the global polarization values at LHC energies of the order of 0.01%
