Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
In Portugal, most of the average annual dose to which the population is exposed by natural sources is from radon (57%) and terrestrial gamma radiation (18%). In this study, the indoor gamma radiation dose rates were evaluated in 15 Portuguese thermal spas between 2011 and 2015. Gamma radiation dose rates were measured with a Geiger counter type GAMMA SCOUT (GS3). The readings of the dose rate were hourly collected during a period of time ranging between 25 and 45 days, in different treatment rooms within each one the selected facilities: inhalation treatment rooms, thermal pools and vapors areas. All registered values for the gamma dose rates were lower than 1 mSv/year, and therefore the contribution of the external dose to the calculation of the annual effective dose is negligible.
