Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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
The purpose of this study was to develop biodegradable devices for controlled delivery of natural fumigants. To this aim, a porous core based on whey protein foam was first loaded with either propionic acid or (E)-2-hexenal and then coated with a multilayer of poly-caprolactone to delay compounds release. The release mechanism of compounds from the matrix system has been explored and described by means of a mathematical model. It was found that the experimental data are satisfactory analyzed using a diffusion-controlled model, thus calculating all the parameters that control the release. Fumigants' toxicity highlighted that both compounds investigated in this study are proven candidates to be formulated in sustained release dosage form and have been subjected to thorough investigation for their candidature.
