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.

Book Chapter Description
The use of solar-water desalination is one of the most promising and environment friendly means to meet the ever-increasing demand of fresh water in freshwaterscarce communities. Unfortunately, desalination of water is a highly energyintensive process. Nonetheless, direct solar-water desalination is simple in design, low in cost, and can easily support the daily use of communities. This chapter describes various types of solar-water desalination with a focus on technologies that are suitable for small communities and remote areas. Mathematical modeling of direct solar-water desalination based on convective, radiative, and evaporative heat transfer has been provided. A case study from Pasni, District Gwadar, Balochistan of Pakistan involving design, fabrication, and cost is included to give an overview of the practical operation of technology.
