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
Biodiesel is a very potential fuel to replace diesel fuel. Waste cooking vegetable oil (WCVO) can be used as raw material for making biodiesel. One method of making biodiesel is by using microwave irradiation. Microwave heating is more advantageous than conventional heating. This study aims to determine the effect of power supply in the production of biodiesel from (WCVO) at optimum reaction time and oil-to-methanol molar ratio. Transesterification of waste cooking oil takes place in a microwave oven by variations in microwave power (160, 320, 480, 640, and 800 Watt) at reaction time of 4 min, oil-to-methanol molar ratio as 1:6. Also, methanol and ethanol are used to compare between them. The optimum condition that have found was 480 watt power supply and maximum biodiesel yield is 82%. Also the methyl ester has same physical properties of ethyl ester with slightly increasing in biodiesel yield as 84% with ethanol.
