Dropout rates and reasons for dropout among patients receiving clozapine by Sandeep Grover, Eepsita Mishra, Subho Chakrabarti

“…Common reasons for dropout were long distance from the hospital (n = 27), long waiting time for consultation (n = 8), no benefit with treatment (n = 17), side effects with medication (n = 10), moving away to another place (n = 6), refusal by the patient to follow-up (n = 7), patient improved and so did not feel the need to continue treatment (n = 7), and other reasons (n = 37). …”

Influence of Hot Rolling Process on Microstructure and Properties of Low-strength IF Steel by Liu　Gan, Ai　Chengshen, Li　Jiangwei, Kong　Xianglei, Wang　Yang, Huang　Minghao

“…The results show that the microstructure of hot-rolled IF steels in the austenitic zone was equiaxed grains， while the grains of hot-rolled IF steel in the ferrite zone are elongated and fibrous along the rolling direction； Compared with the austenitic zone hot rolling process， the optimum process parameters for ferrite zone rolling are heating temperature 1 150 ℃+final rolling temperature 800 ℃+coiling temperature 720 ℃， in which the yield strength Rp0.2 is significantly reduced， and the size of precipitated phases is overall larger by 70-85 nm， but there is no significant difference in the size of TiN precipitated phases； In terms of texture， cold-rolled annealed IF steel γ texture is stronger， and the orientation distribution of each component in the main texture is more concentrated with smaller differences in strength.The corresponding r value increases by 0.64， while the △r value decreases by 0.35， significantly improving its deep drawing formability. This provides a technical reference for promoting the application of ferrite rolling technology.…”
