Losses of interest

The main reasons for this lie in feasibility. Conducting fillers are rather expensive and their use increases the cost of an article. Besides, filled polymers have worse physical-mechanical properties, especially impact strength and flexural modulus. The use of fillers is also detrimental to the articles appearance and calls for additional treatment. The continuous development of electronics has also contributed to a loss of interest to conducting composites as screening materials the improvement of components and circuits of devices made it possible to reduce currents consumed and, thereby, noise level a so called can method is practised on a wide scale in order to cover the most sensitive or noisy sections of a circuit with metal housings [14].

Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. It is characterized by feeling of intense sadness, helplessness, worthlessness, and impaired functioning. Those experiencing a major depressive episode exhibit physical and psychological symptoms, such as appetite disturbances, sleep disturbances, and loss of interest in job, family, and other activities usually enjoyed.

Habituation or loss of interest in monotonous stimulation may also be an important factor. The intensity of monotonous stimulation is usually estimated to be lower than that of single instances of the same physical intensity. 

Chronic use has been associated with an "amotivational syndrome" characterized by loss of interest in social activities, school, work, or other goal-directed activities. Cannabis use is cited as the cause of this phenomenon, but there is no evidence to support any causal relationship. There is evidence, however, that the symptoms of the "amotivational syndrome" are secondary to depression (Musty and Kraback 1995). In contrast to ethanol, there is no evidence to support that cannabis causes an increase in violent behavior (Murray 1986). However, cannabis use may be contraindicated in those with preexisting psychiatric disturbances such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. 

Patients with depression usually do not present initially to mental health professionals. Most visit their primary care physicians, complaining not of depressed mood but of other symptoms of depression. Fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, loss of interest in sex, muscle tension, body aches, and poor concentration are all commonly reported. These so-called masked presentations of depression may in part explain the documented failure of primary care physicians to diagnose depression reliably. This underscores the importance of considering depression in the differential diagnosis of physical complaints that appear vague or exaggerated.

On the other hand, the manufacturer may determine that the advantages of process scale-up are compromised by the increased cost of production on a larger scale and/or the potential loss of interest or investment income. Griskey (1) addresses the economics of scale-up in some detail in his chapter on engineering economics and process design, but his examples are taken from the chemical industry. For a more extensive discussion of process economics, see Ref. 2. 

The diagnosis of depression still rests primarily on the clinical interview. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by depressed mood most of the time for at least 2 weeks and/or loss of interest or pleasure in most activities. In addition, depression is characterized by disturbances in sleep and appetite as well as deficits in cognition and energy. Thoughts of guilt, worthlessness, and suicide are common.
