  1. Different upper-case letters in a row indicate statistically significant differences between different solutions within each system (One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) tests; P ≤ 0.05). Different lower-case letters in a column indicate significant differences between 2 systems within each solution (independent t-test; P ≤ 0.05)
