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 following paper describes the quantitative analysis of wood samples of black pine (Pinus nigra) using a benchtop Micro X-ray Fluorescence (μXRF) device for elemental analysis and surface scanning. Calibration of the device for quantitative elemental analysis and local density measurements of wood was performed by utilizing characteristic X-ray line intensities and backscattered radiation intensities. The influence of a variable wood density and matrix composition on X-ray spectra were studied with Monte Carlo calculations. The Monte Carlo model was validated with a set of reference materials possessing known compositions and densities. It has been demonstrated that Monte Carlo simulations with the MCNP code, along with, only one reference material are required for the quantitative XRF analysis. The backscattered radiation in the XRF spectra can be used for simple recognition of individual tree rings and their corresponding shapes.
