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
Protein microspheres have been prepared by sonicating oil in an aqueous protein solution. Such prepared microspheres can be used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), micro-encapsulation, and drug delivery systems. When they are used in the blood circulation, their size and stability become most important. In this paper, the factors affecting the size and size distribution of these microspheres are discussed and a way to control the size of the microspheres is put forward. Small microspheres with size less than 1 m were selected by gravitational sedimentation. The selected microspheres have a narrow size distribution and can be used in the blood circulation safely. The loading of dye into these microspheres was easily achieved by dissolution of drugs in the oil phase before sonication. The protein microspheres showed excellent protection for the loaded dye, which can be stably carried for several weeks. © 2008 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
