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.

Conference Paper Description
Reduction of malaria will require outdoor protection against infective mosquito bites. This might he provided by wearable mosquito repelling textiles, e.g., anklets that protect the lower limb regions. Towards this goal, meltbiodegradable, DEET-containing bicomponent PLA monofilaments, with a sheath-core structure, were spun on a laboratory rig. It is expected that the sheath degree of crystallinity and crystalline morphology affect the release rate of the DEET. Consequently, the effect of DEET was investigated by means of DSC. It was found that DEET greatly increases the mobility of the PLA chains, resulting in a lowered Tg, a lowered cold crystallization temperature and an increased degree of crystallinity. Furthermore, the presence of DEET favored the formation of the α-crystal structure.
