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.

Article Description
The ultrafast thermal behaviour of a micro thermoelectric cooler under the hyperbolic heat conduction model is analysed. An important step forward is taken in that the instantaneous application of the electric current is modelled by means of the Heaviside function. Two terms of internal heat generation derive from this model: the former is time-independent, whereas the latter is time-dependent through Dirac’s delta function. A modified Separation of Variables method is used to solve analytically the governing equations. Also, the initial linear problem is split up into three sub-problems through the principle of superposition. In order to eliminate the numerical oscillations in the temperature profiles at early times in correspondence of the wave fronts, the semi-infinite hyperbolic body model is considered. The performance (COP) of the device is evaluated and then compared with that derived from the parabolic case. An increase of about 27% is observed at early times.
