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 main objective of the work was to investigate how the dynamics of inhalation affect aerosol release process in real-time, with an unsteady airflow through passive dry powder inhalers (DPIs) of comparable airflow resistance, but different principle of powder release. It consists of two complementary studies, concerning dynamics of controlled aerosol release (emission kinetics) and dynamics of aerosol generation (aerosol size characteristics in time series).Aerosol behavior of the powder was studied experimentally at the outlet of the inhalers: RS01 inhaler (Plastiape Spa, Osnago LC, Lombardy, Italy) and Turbospin (Ph&T, Milano, Lombardy, Italy). Two breathing profiles were analyzed throughout the study. Timing of aerosol emission was done by light scattering. Aerosol characterization was done by laser diffraction. It resulted in time evolution of volume concentration and volumetric particle size distribution.Both the design of the passive DPI inhaler and the dynamics of the inhalation (along with its intensification) influence the course of the aerosol generation and emission. The process of aerosol emission occurs only in the initial part of the inhalation process, before the peak inspiratory flow rate is established. This part is strongly responsible for the quality of the aerosol emitted from the device and consequently will potentially influence the drug delivery.
