AMMI and GGE biplot analyses of genotype-environment interaction in spring barley lines by P. N. Solonechnyi

“…The AMMI model presented greater efficiency by retaining most of the variation in the first two main components, 95.7 %, followed by the GGE biplot model, 82.9 %. Lines 09-837 (G8) and 08-1385 (G9) presented an elevated grain yield and stability as determined by the AMMI and GGE biplot methodologies. …”

An Effective Sol-Gel-Functionalized Polyurethane Foams Solid Platform Packed Minicolumns for Complete Extraction of Chromium (VI) from Water: Kinetic, Sorption Isotherms, Thermodyn... by Effat A. Bahaidarah

“…The sorption of the oxyion [CrO3Cl]−aq onto the solid sorbent is an endothermic and spontaneous process as reflected from the values of ΔH (6.99 kJ·mol−1) and ΔG (−8.14 kJ·mol−1 at 293 K), respectively. The ΔS value (15.13 kJ·mol−1·K−1) reflects that the [CrO3Cl]−aq retention onto the sol-gel-treated PUFs sorbent proceeded in a more unplanned fashion. …”
