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
This study investigated the microbial diversity in a laboratory-scale upflow aerobic/anoxic sequential bioreactor (UAASB) with an alternate aeration. A bacteriological study was carried out, as a cultural-based technique, detecting dominant bacteria in the aerobic/anoxic conditions. Central composite design and response surface methodology were applied to investigate the effects of two operating parameters, namely hydraulic retention time (HRT) and aeration time (AT), on the performance of the UAASB. The HRT range of 12–36 h, and the AT range of 40–60 min/constant time of anaerobic conditions (1 h), were examined on the diversity and capability of system. Results of biological investigation showed that HRT and AT have significant effects on bacterial population and diversity, which also is function of organic loading value.
