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
Four air samplers (Millipore, all-glass impinger, Andersen and absorbent cotton) were evaluated for their ability to collect airborne grain particles contaminated with Aspergillus flavus spores. Corn dust containing 6.4 × 10 6 spores/g was aerosolized within a containment system. Each device sampled 100 L of air, thus exchanging the air in the chamber two times. Spores were enumerated from all sampling matrices using Aspergillus flavus / parasiticus agar. The efficiencies of the Millipore and the cotton samplers were almost identical, while that of the all-glass impinger was less. Measurement of particle size with the Andersen sampler revealed that these spores were associated with particles of various sizes.
