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
With the aid of a modified mean-field model, one in which the spatial correlations are handled by means of a conventional classical liquid theory and the orientational ordering alone is subjected to the mean-field approximation, we find it possible to correlate thermodynamic data near the isotropic-nematic transition region. In contrast with the Maier-Saupe theory, we deduce accurately the volume change, latent heat, and maximum supercooling temperature. The theoretical analysis when applied to PAA and MBBA leads to results in quantitative agreement with experiment. We propose that measured data on other nematic and cholesteric liquid cystals be subjected to tests under the same scheme. © 1976 The American Physical Society.
