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
An optical fibre-based beta radiation sensing device has been investigated for the purpose of detecting low levels of the daughter products of Uranium-238 in liquids for mineral processing and environmental monitoring applications. The sensor operates by detecting the scintillation light produced by polymer optical fibres. A range of fibres have been studied by quantifying a number of properties that are critical to their performance including the beta radiation scintillation response, transmission loss, and performance under the proposed environmental conditions. Based on these measurements, the most suitable fibre type was incorporated within a prototype sensing device which is capable of performing direct, real-time, continuous measurements of beta radiation emitting radionuclides within solutions or suspensions, which is not possible with current measurement techniques. The technology presented here allows for the detection of low levels of beta radiation in liquids, which could be useful for the detection of radiation in mineral processing liquids, municipal water sources, and storage tanks containing nuclear fuel.
