Titus

In Ancient Rome, Pliny the Elder (c. a.d. 23-79) dedicated 37 volumes of Natural History to the emperor Titus. In the last of these books, dealing with gems and precious stones, he describes the properties of the fossil resin, amber. The ability of amber to attract dust was recognised and in fact the word electricity is derived from elektron, the Greek for amber.

Trilayer structures offer the additional possibility of selecting the emissive material, independent of its transport properties. In the case of small molecules, the emitter is typically added as a dopant in either the HTL or the ETL, near the interface between them, and preferably on the side where recombination occurs (see Fig. 13-1 c). The dopant is selected to have an cxciton energy less than that of its host, and a high luminescent yield. Its concentration is optimized to ensure exciton capture, while minimizing concentration quenching. As before, the details of recombination and emission depend on the energetics of all the materials. The dopant may act as an electron or hole trap, or both, in its host. Titus, for example, an electron trap in the ETL will capture and hold an election until a hole is injected nearby from the HTL. In this case, the dopant is the recombination mmo.-...

Even though dynein, kinesin, and myosin serve similar ATPase-dependent chemomechanical functions and have structural similarities, they do not appear to be related to each other in molecular terms. Their similarity lies in the overall shape of the molecule, which is composed of a pair of globular heads that bind microtubules and a fan-shaped tail piece (not present in myosin) that is suspected to carry the attachment site for membranous vesicles and other cytoplasmic components transported by MT. The cytoplasmic and axonemal dyneins are similar in structure (Hirokawa et al., 1989 Holzbaur and Vallee, 1994). Current studies on mutant phenotypes are likely to lead to a better understanding of the cellular roles of molecular motor proteins and their mechanisms of action (Endow and Titus, 1992).
