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.

Book Chapter Description
This chapter discusses the properties of the common gradient materials. Density gradients are usually prepared from solutions or sols of materials, which are considerably denser than water. The density of most gradient solutions is greater than 1.0 gm/cm 3. Excluding nonaqueous gradients for the present, the properties of the ideal solute for gradients are—freely soluble in water, very dense, nonviscous, negligible osmotic pressure, physiologically and chemically inactive, transparent in visible and ultraviolet light, and cheap. Common sugar is easily the most widely used gradient material. Although sucrose gradients have been used more than any other for the separation of the membrane-bound organelles, they are almost certainly inferior to silica and Ficoll. Mannitol was greatly favored over sucrose by early physiologists as an osmoticum, presumably because it penetrated cell membranes less rapidly than sucrose. More recently, mannitol has been recommended over sucrose in the isolation of mitochondria. Ficoll has become the most generally useful among polymeric gradient materials.
