Atomic-scale observations of a specific local area would be considerably beneficial when exploring new fundamental materials and devices. The development of hardware-type aberration correction in electron microscopy has enabled local structural observations with atomic resolution as well as chemical and vibration analysis. In magnetic imaging, however, atomic-level spin configurations are analysed by electron energy-loss spectroscopy by placing samples in strong magnetic fields, which destroy the nature of the magnetic ordering in the samples.

Background: Aberrant fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling can substantially influence oncogenicity. Despite that FGFR gene abnormality is often detected by cancer genome profiling tests, there is no tumor-agnostic approval yet for these aberrations. E7090 (tasurgratinib) is an orally available selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of FGFR1-3.

Recent progress in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a perpendicular easy axis consisting of CoFeB and MgO stacking structures has shown that magnetization dynamics are induced due to voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA), which will potentially lead to future low-power-consumption information technology. For manipulating magnetizations in MTJs by applying voltage, it is necessary to understand the coupled magnetization motion of two magnetic (recording and reference) layers. In this report, we focus on the magnetization motion of two magnetic layers in MTJs consisting of top layers with an in-plane easy axis and bottom layers with a perpendicular easy axis, both having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

Background: Although second-generation antihistamines, such as bepotastine besilate, are recommended as a first-line treatment option for adult perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), few non-sedating second-generation antihistamines are safe for children.

Objective: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative study of 473 pediatric PAR patients (7 - 15 years old) to determine the superiority and safety of bepotastine besilate (10 mg twice daily) relative to placebo for improved total and individual nasal symptom scores compared with baseline.

Research Design And Methods: Subjects were randomized to placebo (n = 233) or bepotastine besilate (n = 240, 10 mg orally twice daily for 2 weeks).
