The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

A motion analysis system based on slow-speed video imaging was used to develop a procedure for measuring the dynamic surface tension of liquids at short surface ages using the oscillating jet method. Bohr's equation and Bechtel's inverse method were used to calculate surface tension from measurements of the jet waveforms. Values of surface tension determined by both methods were in good agreement with handbook values. Surface tensions calculated from waveforms near the jet orifice were found to be similar to values calculated for waveforms further from the orifice. Most agricultural sprays are mixtures of materials, not true solutions, and as such their surface tensions change with surface age. A method of measuring surface tensions at short surface times is essential for predictive models of the effect of adjuvants on the properties of agricultural sprays, especially droplet atomization and droplet rebound from plant surfaces; both of these processes are completed in less than 3 ms.
