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
Quantization is performed for a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with a conformally invariant scalar field and a perfect fluid with equation of state p = αρ. A well-known discrete set of static quantum wormholes is shown to exist for radiation (α = 1/3), and a novel continuous set is found for cosmic strings (α = 1/3), the latter states having throat radii of any size. In both cases wave-packet solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation are obtained with all the properties of evolving quantum wormholes. In the case of a radiation fluid, a detailed analysis of the quantum dynamics is made in the context of the Bohm-de Broglie interpretation. It is shown that a repulsive quantum force inversely proportional to the cube of the scale factor prevents singularities in the quantum domain. For the states considered, there are no particle horizons either.
