16 priority polycyclic hydrocarbons were identified and determined quantitatively by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method in bottom sediments of estuarine coast of Danube. Concentration of the sum of 16 polyarenes in bottom sediments ranged from 329.6 to 1093.3 μg/kg. The total B(a)Peqv, whose values at the stations of sampling ranged from 34.9 to 195.1 μg/kg, was determined to evaluate ...

561 Field-Testing Entanglement The production of pairs of entangled photons has been demonstrated in the laboratory and over several tens of kilometers in closed optic-fiber systems. However, the use of entangled pairs in practical quantum cryptography applications will require them to be distributed in free space. Aspelmeyer et al. (p. 621; see the Perspective by Rarity) present results of dis...
