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.

Analyzing How Tea And Mint Infusion Effects Element Content In Beverages
Popular medicinal plants and their infusions have been the subject of significant scientific interest due to their therapeutic value for the prevention and treatment... The post Analyzing How Tea And Mint Infusion Effects Element Content In Beverages appeared first on Science Trends.
Article Description
High throughput analytical methodologies entailing low-cost multielemental analysis are attractive for identifying and quantitating elements in medicinal herb infusions. The aim of the present research was to develop a cost-effective and fast method for multielemental analysis of black tea and mint infusions by low-power TXRF instrumentation. The developed methodology was applied to study how infusion time, water temperature and type of water used to prepare infusions (tap, mineral and high purity water) affect element content in the resulting tea and mint beverages. Additionally, pH, conductivity, hardness and anionic composition of infusions and the different water types used to prepare the infusions were also considered. The elemental composition (K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr) of different preparations, as well as infusions from different commercial tea brands available in Jamaican and Spanish markets is reported. It is expected that the TXRF method developed as well as the information derived from this study may be useful in the fields of nutrition and health.
