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.

Article Description
In present study, to investigate the thermal effects of the rechargeable neuromodulation implants (an implant and antenna together) in the body, a numerical analysis is performed by using commercial software ANSYS. Since it is well established that both the antenna and the implant generate heat, both of these heat sources may increase the tissue temperature in the subcutaneous zone and may also increase the temperature in the deeper tissue. Therefore, the sizes and heat generation amounts of the implant-antenna system gain great importance and a parametric evaluation that shows the effects of the design parameters on the temperature becomes necessary. For this aim, an optimization study is performed. The runs of the numerical simulations are determined by well-known design analysis method, namely Taguchi and the parametric evaluation of the study is carried out by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method. The design parameters considered are; (i) heat generated by the antenna q (50, 52 and 54 W/m), (ii) heat generated by the implant q (30 and 35 W/m), (iii) thickness of the implant t (9, 11, and 13 mm) and finally (iv) the radius of the antenna R (31, 35, 39 mm). The results showed that higher antenna radii result in higher temperatures in the tissue, whilst the least effective design parameter on the temperature is the heat generation of the implant.
