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 present general analytic expressions which permit the determination of the order of wetting transitions in mean-field theory for three systems of current interest: a one-component fluid near a wall, a binary liquid mixture near a wall, and a binary liquid mixture at three-phase coexistence. The underlying atomic forces are taken to be of the realistic long-range van der Waals type. These analytic results are derived by employing the sharp-kink approximation which replaces smooth density profiles by piecewise constant ones. In all those cases in which our analytic predictions can be compared with the numerical results for the full inhomogeneous mean-field equations there is agreement between them. © 1986 The American Physical Society.
