Abstract This paper uses the two-dimensional Brusselator model to study reflection and refraction of chemical waves. It presents some boundary conditions of chemical waves, with which occurence of observed phenomena at interface as refraction and reflection of chemical waves can be interpreted. Moreover, the angle of reflection may be calculated by using the boundary conditions. It finds that reflection and refraction of chemical waves can occur simultaneously even if plane wave goes from a medium with higher speed to a medium with lower speed, provided the incident angle is larger than the critical angle.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
