Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Findings on Sustainability Research Discussed by Investigators at Polytechnic University of Valencia (Sustainable Insulation Panel for Buildings Made of Rice Husks and Posidonia)
2024 SEP 30 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Ecology Daily News -- Current study results on Sustainability Research have been published.
Article Description
The design of the building envelope is crucial to achieve adequate thermal comfort by means of insulating materials that prevent heat flow without excessive energy costs. Generally, materials based on fossil fuel content a large carbon footprint, so when environmental criteria are becoming increasingly important, it is necessary to search for more sustainable insulation materials with a low environmental impact, lower energy use or few CO 2 emissions. The aim of this work is focussed on using the agricultural residue or plant debris that sea expels, specifically rice husk and posidonia oceanic leaves. The properties of both materials are studied by experimental tests at different densities to define appropriate thermal conductivity. In addition, acoustic performance, sensitivity to water, durability (mould fungus), mechanical properties and fire reaction are tested to evaluate their behaviour in comparison to other commercial insulation materials. The results highlight the proper performance of rice husks and posidonia as material for insulation panels with 0.055 and 0.045 W/mK of thermal conductivity, respectively. Furthermore, rice husks and posidonia offer a promising reaction to fire with low heat release and smoke production for an element that has been critical in buildings in past catastrophic fires.
