The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sieb. et. Zucc (Rutaceae): an important medicinal plant.

is a deciduous tree, with important medicinal and economic values. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was assembled and the phylogenetic relationship to other species was inferred in this study. The chloroplast genome is 157,209 bp in length, including two inverted repeats of 26,408 bp, a large single-copy of 86,099 bp and a small single copy of 18,294 bp.

Photonic Implementation of Quantum Information Masking.

Masking of quantum information spreads it over nonlocal correlations and hides it from the subsystems. It is known that no operation can simultaneously mask all pure states [Phys. Rev.

[Acid mining drainage impacts on the separation between iron and manganese in sediments of the Aha Lake, Guizhou Province].

Since the Aha Lake, located in Guizhou Province, China, was enlarged in 1982, a great amount of iron and manganese were input into it owing to the uninterrupted pollution from acidic mining drainage of coal mines (AMD). The results show that dissolved Fe2+ and Mn2+, mainly from AMD, were markedly separated each other as water flowed from inlet to downstream. The Aha lake water, with the average pH equal to 7.
