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

Краткое описание

Droplet spectra data were collected from spray equipment intended for use in vector control by the U.S. Department of Defense pest management programs to determine if they produce droplets in the ultralow volume (ULV) spectrum. Droplets generated by 26 sprayers utilizing water+nonionic surfactant (NIS) and/or BVA-13 mineral oil were measured at various operating conditions resulting in a total of 360 replicated tests. The volume median diameter (DV0.5) of the application equipment ranged from 3.5 to 215.3 µm. Ten of all the sprayers tested with water+NIS and 15 of all those tested with BVA-13 mineral oil produced ULV sprays. All thermal foggers tested met the criteria for space sprays when applying mineral oil but not when applying water. Generally, droplet size increased with increased flow rate, resulting in some of the sprayers generating droplets that were too large (>50 µm) to be considered ULV sprayer at the higher flow rates. Also, decreases in engine, blower, fan, or rotary atomizer rpm resulted in increased droplet size. Therefore, careful attention should be given to the application parameters during selection and operation of a sprayer. As a rule of thumb, if the reported data are close to the DV0.5 and DV0.9 thresholds for ULV (25 and 50 µm, respectively), changing any of the operational parameters from those listed here could result in an ineffective application. The data presented serve as a guide for users in selection of sprayers and corresponding operational parameters to meet the specific application requirements.
