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
This study reports the use of background signals and multivariate calibration as a procedure to assess total concentration of concomitants in thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (TS-FF-AAS). TS-FF-AAS employs a metal tube atomizer above an air/acetylene flame and the atoms residence time is longer than that observed in FAAS (flame AAS). As a result, elevated background signals are obtained. The main purpose of this study is to make use of the background signals to predict the total concentration of concomitants. Background signals of 29 solutions containing Cd (25 g L ), Pb (500 g L) and four concomitants (Ca, K, Mg and Na - total concentration values ranging from 0 to 5.52 g L) were recorded at two wavelengths: 228.8 nm for Cd and 283.3 nm for Pb. With the help of partial least squares, calibration models using either each wavelength alone or a combination of both were constructed to predict the total concentrations of concomitants. The best model showed root mean square error of validation (RMSEV) of 0.35 g L using background signals at 283.3 nm. A pharmaceutical sample containing 3 g L of the total concentration of Ca, K, Mg and Na was analyzed and 3% was the relative error. This sample and those used in the calibration/validation sets were also analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and a good agreement was observed. This study extends the possibilities for the use of background signals in spectrometric techniques. © 2009 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
