AB  - We consider the phase diagram of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on the simple cubic 
      lattice subject to surface and bulk interactions, modeling an adsorbing surface 
      and variable solvent quality for a polymer in dilute solution, respectively. We 
      simulate SAWs at specific interaction strengths to focus on locating certain 
      transitions and their critical behavior. By collating these new results with 
      previous results we sketch the complete phase diagram and show how the adsorption 
      transition is affected by changing the bulk interaction strength. This expands on 
      recent work considering how adsorption is affected by solvent quality. We 
      demonstrate that changes in the adsorption crossover exponent coincide with phase 
      boundaries.
