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.

Poster Description
Strontium-90 is the most common radioactive man-made isotope. It is much like calcium in that it relates closely to the bone and teeth. Exposure to Strontium-90 radiation can increase cancer rates in the bone or may result in the needed removal of an area. The danger is the isotope's half-life of 28.9 years meaning an increase in radiation. Two Geiger Muller (GM) detector systems consisted of NATS-1510/1520g tube connected to a NATS-EDUC-1510 single-channel analyzer were used in detecting Sr-90 radiation level. The radioactive sources used for these detectors were 0.09270.018 mCi of Sr-90. The Sr-90 detector system had a plateau spanning 850-1150 V with a slope of 13.5% change in counts per 100 V and a dead-time constant of 0.61. The results showed a clear correlation between room temperature and normalized count rate. The GM exhibited a positive correlation coefficient with temperature which was expected.
