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
A critical process in brass casting is blending of the raw materials in a furnace so that the specified metal ratios are satisfied. The uncertainties in raw material compositions may cause violations of the specification limits and extra cost. In this study, we proposed a chance-constrained stochastic programming approach for blending problem in brass casting industry to handle the statistical variations in raw material compositions. The proposed approach is a non-linear mathematical model that is solved global optimally by using GAMS/BARON solver. An application has been performed in MKEK brass factory in Kirikkale, Turkey and the solution of the application has been compared with alternative solution approaches based on cost and specification violation risk conditions. This comparison demonstrates that the proposed model is the most effective solution approach for managing stochastic uncertainties in blending problems and successfully can be used other industries such as alloy steel or secondary aluminum production. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
