We present direct evidence for room-temperature magnetization reversal induced by an electric field in epitaxial ferroelectric BiFeO3-ferrimagnetic CoFe2O4 columnar nanostructures. Piezoelectric force microscopy and magnetic were used to locally image the coupled piezoelectric-magnetic switching. Quantitative analyses give a perpendicular magnetoelectric susceptibility of approximately 1.0 x 10(-2) G cm/V. The observed effect is due strong elastic coupling between two ferric constituents as...

The Snell dwarf mouse (dw/dw) has no detectable PRL-binding sites in the microsomal fractions of its liver. Both bGH and bPRL, purified by preparative gel electrophoresis, induce when injected into dw/dw. Intraperitoneal injection 100 micrograms every 8 h results appearance a high affinity PRL receptor 8--16 after initiation treatment. This induced binding capacity plateaus 32 treatment subsequently decreases to nondetectable levels 48 last injection. [125I]Iodo-ovine is displaced from...
