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.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
This thesis investigates acoustical and psychoacoustical emissions of a desktop computer system by attempting to understand, measure, and attenuate computer noise. Five cooling fans were examined: the CPU fan, the GPU fan, the PSU fan, a rear case fan, and a front case fan. The fans were tested individually, outside of the computer then installed within. The fully operating computer was also tested. Attenuation techniques tested were: installing acoustic insulation, software modification, and hardware modification. After experimentation was performed, the following was determined: acoustic insulation did not appear to be a viable noise reduction technique; CPU fan software modification for the purpose of noise reduction is not effective but does reduce power use; and hardware modification was not a useful technique when the case fans were installed in the fully operating computer because they were overpowered by the other noise sources present.
