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.

Warum bekommen Seelöwen keine Taucherkrankheit?
Bläschen bilden sich im Blut… Wenn Menschen tief tauchen und dann zu schnell wieder nach oben kommen, droht ihnen die Taucherkrankheit. Warum sind aber nicht auch Seelöwen von diesem Effekt betroffen, obwohl sie doch ebenfalls über eine Lunge atmen? Auf dieses Thema hat uns Christian F. aufmerksam gemacht – vielen Dank dafür. Was die Seelöwen vor der Taucherkrankheit schützt, haben Forscher von de
Article Description
Lung collapse is considered the primarymechanism that limits nitrogen absorption and decreases the risk of decompression sickness in deep-diving marine mammals. Continuous arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PO) profiles in a free-diving female California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) revealed that (i) depth of lung collapse was near 225 m as evidenced by abrupt changes in PO during descent and ascent, (ii) depth of lung collapse was positively related to maximum dive depth, suggesting that the sea lion increased inhaled air volume in deeper dives and (iii) lung collapse at depth preserved a pulmonary oxygen reservoir that supplemented blood oxygen during ascent so that mean end-of-dive arterial PO was 74±17 mmHg (greater than 85% haemoglobin saturation). Such information is critical to the understanding and the modelling of both nitrogen and oxygen transport in diving marine mammals. © 2012 The Royal Society.
