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
We derive the dynamic equations for the macroscopic variables close to the nematic- to-hexagonal-columnar transition in discotic liquid crystals. We discuss especially the physical consequences of a static cross-coupling term between fluctuations of the discotic order parameter and gradients of the nematic director, a term omitted by previous workers. Furthermore, we predict the breakdown of flow alignment in disklike nematics close to the transition to a columnar phase and we discuss the microscopic reasons for this effect and, in general, the same type of behavior for other liquid crystalline phases with positional order such as smectic-A, -B, -C, -G, etc. © 1986 The American Physical Society.
