description: The series and shunt resistance values play an influential role in the output of a photovoltaic device.
Additionally, they may also be useful parameters to assess the cell or module quality. Calculation of these values
however is non-trivial, consequently a number of experimental and non-experimental techniques currently exist in order
to estimate their values. In previous work [1], a method was proposed to calculate the values of series and shunt
resistances at maximum power primarily using the experimental data typically published by the manufacturer. This
numerical method based on the multi-dimensional Newton-Raphson method and current voltage equations expressed
using the Lambert W-function is however computationally burdensome and therefore unsuitable for implementation in an
environment where speed is needed such as manufacturing or field testing. Here we present a rapid method of calculation
based on a feed forward type multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network (ANN). Current-voltage data were
experimentally acquired for a single multi-crystalline silicon cell under varying levels of outdoor illumination from which
the short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and location of the maximum power point values were obtained as typically
published by the manufacturer, forming the training set for the ANN. The corresponding values of series and shunt
resistances were then calculated using the method of Ghani and Duke [1] to form the network target set. It was found in
this study that the network could be successfully trained for this application providing a method to rapidly calculate these
loss values. It may therefore be a beneficial quality assessment tool for photovoltaic device manufacturers, installers, and
users.

description: Comets have been invoked in numerous studies as a potentially important source of dust and gas around stars, but none has studied the thermo-physical evolution, out-gassing rate, and dust ejection of these objects in such stellar systems. We investigate the thermo-physical evolution of comets in exo-planetary systems in order to provide valuable theoretical data required to interpret observations of gas and dust. We use a quasi 3D model of cometary nucleus to study the thermo-physical evolution of comets evolving around a single star from 0.1 to 50 AU, whose homogeneous luminosity varies from 0.1 to 70 solar luminosities. This paper provides mass ejection, lifetimes, and the rate of dust and water gas mass productions for comets as a function of the distance to the star and stellar luminosity. Results show significant physical changes to comets at high stellar luminosities. The models are presented in such a manner that they can be readily applied to any planetary system. By considering the examples of the Solar System, Vega and HD 69830, we show that dust grains released from sublimating comets have the potential to create the observed (exo)zodiacal emission. We show that observations can be reproduced by 1 to 2 massive comets or by a large number of comets whose orbits approach close to the star. Our conclusions depend on the stellar luminosity and the uncertain lifetime of the dust grains. We find, as in previous studies, that exozodiacal dust disks can only survive if replenished by a population of typically sized comets renewed from a large and cold reservoir of cometary bodies beyond the water ice line. These comets could reach the inner regions of the planetary system following scattering by a (giant) planet.

description: A lower-than-solar elemental nitrogen content has been demonstrated for several comets, including 1P/Halley and 67P/C-G with independent in situ measurements of volatile and refractory budgets. The recently discovered semi-refractory ammonium salts in 67P/C-G are thought to be the missing nitrogen reservoir in comets. The thermal desorption of ammonium salts from cometary dust particles leads to their decomposition into ammonia and a corresponding acid. The NH$_{3}$/H$_{2}$O ratio is expected to increase with decreasing heliocentric distance with evidence for this in near-infrared observations. NH$_{3}$ has been claimed to be more extended than expected for a nuclear source. Here, the aim is to constrain the NH$_{3}$/H$_{2}$O ratio in comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) during its July 2020 passage. OH emission from comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was monitored for 2 months with NRT and observed from GBT on 24 July and 11 August 2020. Contemporaneously with the 24 July 2020 OH observations, the NH$_{3}$ hyperfine lines were targeted with GBT. The concurrent GBT and NRT observations allowed the OH quenching radius to be determined at $\left(5.96\pm0.10\right)\times10^{4}$ km on 24 July 2020, which is important for accurately deriving $Q(\text{OH})$. C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was a highly active comet with $Q(\text{H}_{2}\text{O}) \approx 2\times10^{30}$ molec s$^{-1}$ one day before perihelion. The $3σ$ upper limit for $Q_{\text{NH}_{3}}/Q_{\text{H}_{2}\text{O}}$ is $<0.29\%$ at $0.7$ au from the Sun. The obtained NH$_{3}$/H$_{2}$O ratio is a factor of a few lower than measurements for other comets at such heliocentric distances. The abundance of NH$_{3}$ may vary strongly with time depending on the amount of water-poor dust in the coma. Lifted dust can be heated, fragmented, and super-heated; whereby, ammonium salts, if present, can rapidly thermally disintegrate and modify the NH$_{3}$/H$_{2}$O ratio.

Friction and lubrication in metal rolling
Creators: name: Sutcliffe, MPF
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 1989

description: This dissertation is concerned with the physical processes which determine friction and lubrication in metal rolling in the mixed lubrication regime, with particular attention paid to the conditions encountered when rolling aluminium foil. Two areas of relevance to the analysis of the rolling process are initially investigated. Firstly, the rheological properties of a typical aluminium foil rolling oil at high pressures and shear rates have been measured using a disc machine. The behaviour of the oil was found to be well described by the Eyring viscous model, at the shear rates and pressure likely to be found in metal rolling. Secondly, the deformation of asperities when the bulk material is deforming has been examined. The theory developed here was found to agree reasonably with experiments. The results of these investigations are used in the analysis of lubrication in metal rolling, considering the hydrodynamic buildup of oil pressure in the entry region and the crushing of the asperities both in the entry region and at the beginning of the work zone. The contact between roll and strip is divided into two regions, that under the asperities and that in the intervening valleys. Calculations for conditions appropriate to strip and foil rolling give the proportion of the two types of contact and the film thicknesses in each region. Measurements of film thicknesses with an experimental mill in a regime where roughness is unimportant were not found to agree well with an existing simple theory of lubrication. This was ascribed to uneven lubrication in the experiments. After taking this into account, the experiments in a regime where roughness was important were found to agree reasonably with the theory developed here. The effect of roughness on traction is measured in a disc machine with elastic contacts. Its behaviour is found to be determined by the bulk properties of the lubricant at the pressures and strain rates under the asperities. Theory and experiments presented in this dissertation lead to a greater understanding of the physical processes determining friction in metal rolling in the mixed lubrication regime. Film thicknesses and friction coefficients in metal rolling may now be estimated with more confidence.

description: PTSD in pregnant women is associated with adverse outcomes for mothers and their children. It is unknown whether pregnant women with PTSD, or symptoms of PTSD, can receive targeted treatment that is safe and effective. The purpose of the present paper was to assess the effectiveness and safety of treatment for (symptoms of) PTSD in pregnant women. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines in Pubmed, Embase, PsychINFO, and Cochrane. In addition, a case is presented of a pregnant woman with PTSD who received eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy aimed at processing the memories of a previous distressing childbirth. In total, 13 studies were included, involving eight types of interventions (i.e. trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy, exposure therapy, EMDR therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, explorative therapy, self-hypnosis and relaxation, Survivor Moms Companion, and Seeking Safety Intervention). In three studies, the traumatic event pertained to a previous childbirth. Five studies reported obstetrical outcomes. After requesting additional information, authors of five studies indicated an absence of serious adverse events. PTSD symptoms improved in 10 studies. However, most studies carried a high risk of bias. In our case study, a pregnant woman with a PTSD diagnosis based on DSM-5 no longer fulfilled the criteria of PTSD after three sessions of EMDR therapy. She had an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery. Despite the fact that case studies as the one presented here report no adverse events, and treatment is likely safe, due to the poor methodological quality of most studies it is impossible to allow inferences on the effects of any particular treatment of PTSD (symptoms) during pregnancy. Yet, given the elevated maternal stress and cortisol levels in pregnant women with PTSD, and the fact that so far no adverse effects on the unborn child have been reported associated with the application of trauma-focused therapy, treatment of PTSD during pregnancy is most likely safe.

description: P-type PERC solar cell containing boron as well as oxygen suffers from light induced
degradation (LID) due to the formation of boron-oxygen related recombination active complexes. The socalled
‘regeneration’ recovered from degraded stage is proven to be less recombination active with high
carrier injection by illumination or bias voltage. In this work, various feasible methods of anti-LID were
explored. Rigorous testing as well as calculated simulation was performed on regenerated PERC solar
cells, which were treated with carrier injection by bias voltage. Meanwhile, the stability and reliability
were mainly tested. Upon process optimization, commonly-occurred LID could be controlled effectively
to be lower than 1%, on average, for PERC+ (PERC solar cell after anti-LID treatment from Jinergy) in
mass production with an average 21.2% efficiency.
Supporting design planning through process model simulation
Creators: name: Flanagan, T
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2006

description: Modelling and analysis of design processes is non-trivial and predicting the behaviour of such systems is especially challenging. Nonetheless, the effective planning of design projects is critical for many engineering companies. Based on the findings from a thorough literature review and an extensive industrial case study, this thesis identified four themes on which subsequent process analyses focused: modelling and representation; scale and connectivity; rework, and the product-process link. The case study also provided a deeper understanding of the practical challenges of planning in industry. In order to meet these challenges, both the Signposting modelling framework and simulation tool were enhanced to provide increased functionality for process modelling, representation and analysis. Further, novel approaches for process analysis - the use of hypothetical models and confidence profiles that link product and process information - were proposed. A software tool was developed to automatically generate such hypothetical models. Simulation analyses were performed on both hypothetical and real-world models. The results elucidated the effects of structural variations in terms of scale and connectivity on project performance. They also showed how task reordering due to rework can lead to major process delays, even when the time taken to rework failed tasks is extremely short. Further, the simulation analyses demonstrated how confidence profiles could be used to identify rework early in the process and reduce the resulting project schedule impact. The results from the simulation analyses were evaluated against historical data from the case study company and heuristics for design planning were defined. Overall, this research demonstrated how simulation analysis of both real-world and hypothetical models, using the enhanced Signposting tool, can provide useful insights into design process planning.

description: Inspired by spring-block models, we elaborate a "minimal" physical model of earthquakes which reproduces two main empirical seismological laws, the Gutenberg-Richter law and the Omori aftershock law. Our new point is to demonstrate that the simultaneous incorporation of ageing of contacts in the sliding interface and of elasticity of the sliding plates constitute the minimal ingredients to account for both laws within the same frictional model.

description: SN 2012dn is a super-Chandrasekhar mass candidate in a purportedly normal spiral (SAcd) galaxy, and poses a challenge for theories of type Ia supernova diversity. Here we utilize the fast and highly parameterized spectrum synthesis tool, SYNAPPS, to estimate relative expansion velocities of species inferred from optical spectra obtained with six facilities. As with previous studies of normal SN Ia, we find that both unburned carbon and intermediate mass elements are spatially coincident within the ejecta near and below 14,000 km/s. Although the upper limit on SN 2012dn's peak luminosity is comparable to some of the most luminous normal SN Ia, we find a progenitor mass exceeding ~1.6 Msun is not strongly favored by leading merger models since these models do not accurately predict spectroscopic observations of SN 2012dn and more normal events. In addition, a comparison of light curves and host-galaxy masses for a sample of literature and Palomar Transient Factory SN Ia reveals a diverse distribution of SN Ia subtypes where carbon-rich material remains unburned in some instances. Such events include SN 1991T, 1997br, and 1999aa where trace signatures of C III at optical wavelengths are presumably detected.

description: Multi busbar becomes more and more hot nowadays as it can increase the
module power output and save the silver consumption on the cell level at the same time.
We found the saved silver, the power gain are highly correlated with the number of multi
busbar, the width of multi busbar and the spec of the ribbon by theoretical modeling. Then
the modeling results are well proved in the following experiment. The optimized design
saves at least 50% silver, and increases the module power output 2% above, which is
very attractive for the industry. Multi busbar can be the future trend in PV.

description: Silicon solar cells with reduced thickness have the potential to achieve higher open circuit voltages (VOC)
due to reduction in intrinsic recombination in the bulk region. At UNSW Australia, the ultra-thin silicon on steel (UTSi)
solar cell developed is based on epitaxial growth on porous silicon. Efficiencies of 16.8% on 4 cm2 devices and 15.9% on
90 cm2 devices have been demonstrated, both with an active layer thickness of less than 20 μm.
In this paper, a three-dimensional cell model is developed to accurately simulate an UTSi cell with a confirmed
efficiency of 15.9%. This model determines the unknown J0.rear component of the device. The cause and magnitude of
various losses in the device is then calculated, followed by performance predictions when these losses are minimized
using available technologies. The model predicts this device can reach 20.4% efficiency with readily available
technologies, and is capable of achieving 22.2% efficiency.
The UTSi device also demonstrates excellent flexibility, and is very robust against mechanical movements. The degree
of damage caused by such physical impairment was quantitatively investigated in this paper.

description: Background: Two aetiology models for dissociative identity disorder (DID) have been proposed, namely a childhood Trauma Model and an iatrogenic or Fantasy model. A recent study indicated that sleep disturbances underlie dissociative symptomatology. Objective: Our current study aims to test whether this finding can be replicated in an independent sample and to investigate if this finding still holds after correcting for childhood and adult traumatization. An experimental working memory task is included to investigate how sleep disturbance, traumatization, dissociation, and fantasy proneness impact cognitive functioning. Methods: Three groups of participants were included – individuals with DID, individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and matched healthy controls. Sleep disturbances were measured and compared between the groups along with measures of childhood and adult traumatization, psychoform and somatoform [psychological and somatic] dissociative symptoms, and fantasy proneness. Cognitive capacity was assessed using a working memory task. Results: When controlled for traumatic experiences, sleep disturbances did not predict dissociative symptoms. When controlled for sleep disturbance and fantasy proneness, childhood traumatization did predict dissociative symptoms. Psychoform dissociative symptoms correlated with traumatic experiences more than with fantasy proneness. Working memory performance was similar among the participating groups. Propensity to fantasy did not discriminate individuals with DID and PTSD, and was a weak predictor of dissociative symptoms. Conclusion: Whereas DID and PTSD are associated with sleep disturbances, these features do not statistically predict dissociative symptoms in these disorders when traumatic experiences are taken into account. Fantasy proneness is not excessive in DID and PTSD. Hence, we found no evidence that sleep disturbances, propensity to fantasy and abnormal working memory capacity explain dissociative symptoms in DID and PTSD. In sum, the relationship between sleep and dissociative symptoms disappeared when potentially traumatizing events were controlled for.

description: We study the impact of the valence and the geometry on the electronic structure and transport properties of different transition metal-benzene sandwich molecules bridging the tips of a Cu nanocontact. Our density-functional calculations show that the electronic transport properties of the molecules depend strongly on the molecular geometry which can be controlled by the nanocontact tips. Depending on the valence of the transition metal center certain molecules can be tuned in and out of half-metallic behaviour facilitating potential spintronics applications. We also discuss our results in the framework of an Anderson impurity model, indicating cases where the inclusion of local correlations alters the ground state qualitatively. For Co and V centered molecules we find indications of an orbital Kondo effect.

description: The TLM approach to measuring contact resistivity is commonly performed to help optimize cell
designs, materials, and processing recipes, and for use in quality control at the factory. Despite the popularity of the
technique, there are no standards on how to perform the measurement or how to prepare the structures. In order to
better understand the method and its sensitivities to the physical characteristics of its test structures, we have
constructed TCAD and circuit simulator models for the measurement sample. The models correctly predict trends in
the measured contact resistivity as the sample width is varied. The models also show how the TLM is affected by the
presence of unprobed contacts when measuring solar cells. The results are used to create correction factors that can be
incorporated into the TLM measurement.

description: Following Sen’s (1973) characterization of the Gini coefficient as a ratio between a measure of aggregate income-based stress (“depression” in Sen’s terminology) and aggregate income, we transform the Gini coefficient into a social welfare function rather than having the Gini coefficient feature as an input in a social welfare function as in Sen (1973 and 1997), Sen (1976), and Sen (1982). The “Gini social welfare function” assigns weights that reflect preferences to aggregate income and to aggregate income-based stress (income inequality), a desirable property that a social welfare function in which the Gini coefficient features as an input does not have. The transformation bears on the formation of public policy and on the welfare analysis of policy interventions.

description: The diversified c-Si materials market is dominated by high-performance multicrystalline (HPmc)
wafer. This material is characterized by a large number of small grains while these grains exhibit a strongly reduced
density of structural intra-grain defects. Thus, solar cells made of HPmc-wafer can show a significantly increased
performance. However, it has been shown, that depending on the wafer production process, light induced degradation
(LID) might occur, which results in an efficiency loss of up to 10 %rel. This degradation has been termed “sponge-
LID” due to its characteristic appearance in luminescence imaging. It cannot be explained by the well-known
mechanisms due to the formation of boron-oxygen-pairs or the separation of iron-boron complexes and is also
unrelated to the mc-LID effect, observed on mc-Si PERC cells. Sponge-LIDs harmful impact on efficiency is related
to a decrease in all cell parameters. However, strongest decay is observed in short circuit current which mainly due to
a change in bulk recombination, while emitter and rear recombination are mostly unaffected. Kinetics of defect
activation is strongly influenced by intensity of illumination. On the other hand, a variation of the degradation
temperature between 25 °C and 75 °C does not influence the sponge-LID kinetics which is in contrast to other
degradation mechanisms. Spatially resolved light beam induced current measurements of sponge-LID on single
grains show that the defects are located within a small area around grain boundaries.

This highlights both the increasing importance of social networks/media and the rise of internet users. Several studies have been conducted using the TPB to predict consumer behaviour in various sectors. However, in the retail banking sector, the TPB has not been applied to understand how eWOM influences customers‟ behaviour in the UK retail banking sector, where products and services are intangible and difficult to evaluate before use. Thus, this study aims to fill this gap. This study utilises both quantitative and qualitative methods. The first phase was through interview (N=12). The researcher applied attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control to explore the different factors of eWOM that influence human intention/behaviour with considerable precision. From the empirical results emerged twelve different related themes that form the basis of the investigation and motives for engaging in eWOM. The second phase (n=280) explored the factors that influence consumers by measuring the TPB construct and the themes that emerged from the first phase. The analysis applied structural equation modelling (SEM) to examine the influence of eWOM on the TPB construct. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to ascertain if there is a significant relationship between the TPB constructs and the demography. The path analysis in the SEM shows direct impact of eWOM on attitude, intention to share wallet, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. Furthermore, there is also an indirect impact of eWOM on intention that is mediated through attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control. It also revealed that eWOM drives firms‟ long-term customer retention, financial performance and business continuity.

description: The recently developed massively parallel satisfiability (SAT) solver HordeSAT was designed in a modular way to allow the integration of any sequential CDCL-based SAT solver in its core. We integrated the QCDCL-based quantified Boolean formula (QBF) solver DepQBF in HordeSAT to obtain a massively parallel QBF solver---HordeQBF. In this paper we describe the details of this integration and report on results of the experimental evaluation of HordeQBF's performance. HordeQBF achieves superlinear average and median speedup on the hard application instances of the 2014 QBF Gallery.

description: Background: Firefighters often do not avail of psychological support services within fire services. Hence, investigating help-seeking behaviour is crucial to determine viable support options. Objective: This study attempted to characterize help-seeking behaviour among UK firefighters by profiling and identifying patterns of help-seeking. Methods: An online survey was administered to 1282 UK firefighters who were asked which help-seeking options they availed of within and outside professional settings. The analysis was conducted in two linked phases. First, latent class analysis was used to identify the fewest profiles that most accurately described help-seeking behaviour. Second, multinomial logistic regression analysis was employed to describe class composition using demographic and years in service variables, while ANOVA was employed to identify variation in alcohol consumption and openness to discussing emotions across help-seeking classes. Results: Five distinct help-seeking classes were identified. Class 1 (9.2%) represented firefighters who availed of all forms of support. Class 2, the smallest class (6.9%) represented firefighters who independently sought External Professional Psychological Support. Class 3 (12.2%) represented those who mainly sought Friends Support. Class 4, the largest class (48.7%) represented those who mainly sought Spousal Support. Class 5 (23%) represented firefighters who sought all avenues of Social Support. Regression analyses indicated that the External Psychological Support class was more likely to be single with fewer years in service. Firefighters longest in service were less likely to seek Social Support, and those who relied on Spousal support had the lowest alcohol consumption. Conclusion: Variations in help-seeking behaviour among UK firefighters were found. Firefighters who sought spousal support had the lowest alcohol consumption rates, indicating a protected profile. Firefighters who only sought friends and informal colleagues’ support had the highest alcohol consumption rates and the most difficulty in discussing feelings, indicating a potential at-risk profile. Recognizing these differences in help-seeking patterns is important for targeting interventions.

description: The potential of laminated solar cells, namely a Standard p-type, PERC, Bifacial and IBC, was
calculated considering a Solar Spectrum of Atacama Desert, the Transmittance of glass-encapsulant-glass structures
and External Quantum Efficiency. Using these data, the maximum theoretical value of the current density, which can
be photo-generated, was determined. Regarding the solar spectrum in Atacama, an average air mass (AM) at noon for
this location in Atacama Desert averaged 1.17 and the PV modules tilt angle 20°. When studying the impact of using
glass and encapsulants combined with a solar cell under the same solar spectrum, EVA with low UV encapsulant led
to the higher current density values, up to 2% higher with the IBC solar cell compared to the other solar cells. The
highest current gain, when studying the impact of the two spectra in the 300-1200 nm wavelength range, was 7.4%
obtained with a standard 3.2 mm glass, a thermoplastic material as encapsulant for the IBC solar cell. Considering
the UV part of the spectrum, the current gain was maximized with a glass with an anti reflection coating combined
with the TM encapsulant for the IBC solar cell (25%).

description: The electrified solid-liquid interface plays an essential role in many renewable energy-related applications, including hydrogen production and utilization. Limitations in computational modelling of the electrified solid-liquid interface have held back the understanding of its properties at the atomic-scale level. In this study, we applied the grand canonical density functional theory (GC-DFT) combined with a hybrid implicit/explicit solvation model to reinvestigate the widely studied electrified platinum-water interface affordably. The calculated double layer capacitances of the Pt(111)-water interface over the applied bias potential closely match the experimental and previous theoretical data from expensive ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations. The structural analysis of the interface models reveals that the applied bias potential can significantly affect the Pt(111)-water atomic interface configurations. The orientation of the water molecules next to the Pt(111) surface is vital for correctly describing the potential of zero charge (PZC) and capacitance. Additionally, the GC-DFT results confirm that the absorption of the hydrogen atom under applied bias potential can significantly affect the electrified interfacial properties. The presented affordable GC-DFT approach, therefore, offers an efficient and accurate means to enhance the understanding of electrified solid-liquid interfaces.

description: N-type silicon solar cell is being more and more focused because of the Si substrate feathering with
long minority lifetime and no B-O complex related degradation. Bifacial Passivation Emitter and Rear Total-diffused
(PERT) n-type solar cells is a high efficiency solution which can be realized by industrialization easily due to the
process simplification. One of the key nPERT process was the P+ emitter formation. BBr3 diffusion has been proved
for mass production for years, but the dopant uniformity and the process integration still limited the industrialization
of n-type solar cells. In this work, nPERT solar cell combined boron ink spin coating and POCl3 diffusion was
investigated. The results showed that solar cell efficiency greater than 20.2% was obtained with bifaciality more than
90%. The outdoor performance of glass-glass module with nPERT solar cells showed that the power output gained
about 7-10% with grass background, and increased higher with higher light intensity.

description: Background: Dropout from psychotherapy has negative impacts on clients, therapists, and health-care agencies. Research has identified a variety of variables as predictors of dropout, which can be grouped in three domains: socio-demographic, psychological, and treatment-related variables. Objective: In order to further clarify the question of predictors of dropout, an exploratory research design was applied to a large sample, testing 25 different variables from the three domains as possible predictors. Method: The sample included 386 adults who started an internet-based cognitive-behavioural treatment approach for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Arabic. As the participants had different countries of origin and of current residence, multilevel analyses were performed. For the selection of predictor variables, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator was used. Results: Dropout rates did not vary significantly between participants from different countries of origin or from different countries of residence. Likewise, dropout did not vary significantly between clusters of individuals with the same country of origin and the same country of residence, i.e. the same migration path. Three of the 25 variables were identified as significant predictors for dropout: marital status (divorced participants’ probability to drop out was higher compared to non-divorced, i.e. single, married, or widowed, clients), treatment credibility scores (higher dropout probability of participants with lower treatment credibility), and the participants’ year of registration for the treatment (earlier years of registration predicted lower dropout probability). The overall ability of the three-factor-model to discriminate between dropout and completion was poor (AUC = 0.652, with low sensitivity and acceptable specificity). Conclusions: The predictors belong to the treatment-related domain (credibility, year of registration) or are specific to the target group (marital status). However, the results show that predicting treatment dropout continues to be a very challenging endeavour and indicate that it is important to look at each intervention individually.
