In adult training practice, dropout marks the transition from participation to non-participation. There are only a few theoretical models, especially second half of 20th century, that address this phenomenon. With special consideration congruence model Boshier (1973) and integration Tinto (1975, 1993) study focuses first on discussion empirically grounded models for explanation in field educati...

Thermodynamic studies on the bioadsorption of Cr(III) onto Agave lechuguilla biomass were conduced. The experimental results at different temperatures were modeled using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms to obtain the characteristic parameters of each model. Both the Freundlich and Langmuir models were found to represent the bioadsorption process. The average adsorption capacities calculate...

BACKGROUND Pretreatment is necessary to reduce biomass recalcitrance and enhance the efficiency of enzymatic saccharification for biofuel production. Ionic liquid (IL) pretreatment has gained a significant interest as a pretreatment process that can reduce cellulose crystallinity and remove lignin, key factors that govern enzyme accessibility. There are several challenges that need to be addres...
