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
Determining the free lime (f-CaO) content in steelmaking slag is critical for road construction because f-CaO is likely to cause road expansion. Herein, we present a method to determine an area fraction of f-CaO from fractions of illuminated areas related to f-CaO in cathodoluminescence (CL) or X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) image of industrial steelmaking slag, which is simpler and quicker than the commonly employed ethylene glycol extraction method. A heat-treatment in which the industrial steelmaking slag was quenched from 1000 °C was needed to obtain intense luminescence from f-CaO, which originated from a peak at 600 nm. Other mineral phases, such as CaSiO, free magnesia, and 2CaO·AlO·SiO, were distinguishable from f-CaO from their luminescent colors. When we analyzed three types of industrial steelmaking slag with different f-CaO contents, the order of the fractions of the illuminated areas originating from f-CaO in the CL images was consistent with that of the f-CaO content measured applying the ethylene glycol extraction method. The average exposure times it took the CL and XEOL images to detect the luminescence from f-CaO were 5 and 30 seconds, respectively. In particular, acquiring XEOL images is promising for on-site analysis.
