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.

Review Description
The discovery of piezophiles (previously referred to as barophiles) prompted researchers to investigate the survival strategies they employ in high-pressure environments. There have been innovative high-pressure studies on biological processes applying modern techniques of genetics and molecular biology in bacteria and yeasts as model organisms. Recent advanced studies in this field have shown unexpected outcomes in microbial growth, physiology and survival when living cells are subjected to high hydrostatic pressure. The effects are conceptually dependent on the sign and magnitude of volume changes associated with any chemical reaction in the cells. Nevertheless, it is difficult to explain the pressure effects on complex metabolic networks based on a simple volume law. The challenges in piezophysiology are to discover whether the physiological responses of living cells to high pressure are relevant to their growth and to identify the critical factors in cell viability and lethality under high pressure from the general and organism-specific viewpoints.
