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
The rate of quenching of 1 O 2 by 5 kinds of biological hydroquinone, such as ubiquinol-10 ( 1 ), ubiquinol-0 ( 2 ), α-, β- and γ-tocophenol hydroquinones (plastoquinol model) ( 3–5 ) and six structurally related hydroquinones has been measured spectrophotometrically in ethanol at 35°C. The result indicates that the overall rate constants, k Q ( k Q = k q + k r hysical quenching + chemical reaction), increase as the total electron-donating capacity of the alkyl substituents on the aromatic ring increases. The log of the rate constants, k Q, was found to correlate with their peak oxidation potentials, E p ; the hydroquinones which have smaller E p values show higher reactivities. The rates ( k Q ) of quenching of 1 O 2 by biological hydroquinones 1–5 were found to be 23–55% smaller than that by α-tocopherol, which has the highest antioxidant activity among natural tocophenols and related phenols. However, the difference in the rate constants is less than one order of magnitude. The result suggests that these biological hydroquinones may relate to the quenching of the singlet oxygen in biological systems.
