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.

Artifact Description
The wastewater from hospitals contains many hazardous materials such as antibiotic, genetic material, and bacteria. It is essential to treat this wastewater fully by removing all of this hazardous material before it enters aquatic environments or is in contact with humans. Enediyne is a class of small molecule that can cleave DNA in tumors by formation of biradical. We tested enediyne in a hospital wastewater application to optimize the cleaving of the genetic material found in hospital wastewater. We placed enediyne on carbon coated paper and then tested the success of DNA cleavage under both Heat and UV light exposure through the gel electrophoresis process. The process was adjusted until optimal DNA cleaving had occurred. The results showed that while both Heat and UV light activated enediyne resulting in DNA cleavage, UV Light was the more effective activator of enediyne and thus attained more success in DNA cleavage. Therefore, enediyne can be used as a treatment option to destroy the hazardous genetic material in hospital waste waters.
