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
Isolated Malpighian tubules of Glossina morsitans are able to transport sodium against its concentration gradient. Their rate of secretion is dependent on the sodium concentration of the bathing medium. Potassium must be present in the bathing solution for rapid secretion to be maintained, but it does not play an active role in fluid secretion. Lithium and ammonium ions are able to substitute partially for sodium, other monovalent cations cannot. Ouabain does not affect rapid secretion by Glossina tubules in vitro. Conclusions drawn from the results are incorporated into a model of Malpighian tubule cell function in this insect.
