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 from Mansoura University Update Knowledge of Marine Science (Examining Hydro-morphological Modulations In Proximity To a Drain's Estuarine Outlet, Case Study: Kitchener Drain, Northern Coast of Egypt)

Article Description
In recent years, the Kitchener Drain has been affected by littoral erosion and sedimentation at the estuary where its discharge enters the Mediterranean Sea. Several measures have been taken to mitigate the impact of these problems. From 1993 to 2007, four stages of hard protection work were finished, including the construction of groins and detached breakwaters along the drain's eastern and western shores. Work on these projects began in 1992. At the drain outlet, dredging works are still proceeding. Nevertheless, shoreline instability continues even after these efforts. The Coastal Modelling System (CMS) was used to figure out what effect the ongoing hard work had on the erosion and accretion hot spot near the drain's output. The CMS-flow and CMS-wave steering modules are part of the CMS, a two-dimensional model of hydrodynamic circulation. To begin mitigating this effect, we ran the simulation beginning in 2012 and experimented with different calibration settings. After the calibration phase, the research area was subsequently simulated for five years. This study aims to assess the current state of affairs concerning the stabilization of the outflow sedimentation process and the erosion that is taking place on the eastern and western sides. In addition to that, we offered alternate structural modulation scenarios that incorporate both hard and soft structures. We looked at plenty of different possibilities. The scenario with the 600-meter-long jetty and sand nourishment was the most similar to the original coastal characteristics. Regarding a sediment reduction to ‐5706.99 m3 from ‐15321.70 m3 (at benchmark) computed at the outlet zone, this scenario was the most similar to the shoreline's initial appearance. Reducing sediment from ‐133433 m3 (at benchmark) to ‐114512 m3 was also achieved on the western side. Despite this, it was determined that the stability of the coastline would be influenced subtly by this circumstance.
