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.

Conference Paper Description
Hydrolysis of natural chitin and chitosans was performed in the electron beam plasma (EBP) of oxygen, by means of specially designed electron beam plasmachemical reactor (EBPR). Low molecular water-soluble chitin oligosaccharides with weight-average molecular mass 800-2000 Da and polydispersion index 1.5-2.5 were produced due to action of active oxygen species formed in the EBP. By optimizing the treatment conditions the 95% yield of chitin oligosaccharides was obtained after 2 min whereas the conventional chemical hydrolysis usually takes several days. The studies of the antimicrobial activity of low molecular products formed due to EBP-stimulated degradation showed that they inhibit the multiplication of various mycelial and yeast-like fungi. The technique involved is likely to be promising for the production of bioactive low molecular chitin oligosaccharides and the EBP-stimulated hydrolysis appears to be competitive with technologies conventionally used in the industry.
