There are 5 points in the particle theory

Matter is made up of particles

All particles move according to how much heat is added

All particles attract

All particles are made of different substances if they aren't alike

There are spaces between the particles

Emerging infectious diseases threaten all forms of life on Earth. Many pathogens of great historical and contemporary significance have originated from other species, triggering pandemics, disrupting agriculture, and challenging efforts to conserve endangered wildlife. Despite decades of research on species-jumping pathogens, the most central questions in the field remain major stumbling blocks for societies that seek to mitigate their impacts. These questions include which pathogens are most likely to emerge, which hosts are most likely to share pathogens, and what will be the long-term fate of newly emerged pathogens? Part of the challenge is that emergence, by nature, transcends scientific disciplines, occurring as the product of human behavior, environmental change, population, cellular and molecular biology, and evolution. Solutions therefore demand innovative pairing of theory and fundamental science with applied research and evidence-based policy-making.
My doctoral research used viral infections of bats to answer fundamental questions about pathogen emergence and to help guide control of a major zoonosis in the developing world. Working on bats was partly pragmatic—natural populations can easily be sampled in large numbers, and existing surveillance systems for reportable diseases, such as rabies, provide rich data sets. This choice was also driven by the fact that bats are a major source of highly pathogenic viruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Nipah, Hendra, and Ebola viruses, which often emerge in the context of anthropogenic change with devastating outcomes for humans and animals (1). From an ecological and evolutionary perspective, the high species diversity of bats also presents a unique and fascinating system to test hypotheses on cross-species emergence in complex host communities.
Working with bat tissue samples from public health laboratories across the United States, I first constructed a data set of hundreds of rabies virus sequences from more than 20 bat species. Using ecological and molecular sequence data from both bats and viruses, I developed a novel population genetic framework to quantify transmission rates between species. This analysis (2) showed that, counter to the popular notion that rapid evolution in RNA viruses should make ecological overlap the best predictor of which host species share viruses, the genetic similarity of hosts constituted the strongest barrier to both initial infection and viral establishment in new

A Brief Note On String Theory

Deeper: Strings Abstract For some time before string theory, an early 20th century postulation, scientists had already had reason to believe subatomic particles had existed. This report discusses how the advent of string theory expanded the quantum field drastically and revolutionized our understanding of spatial reality although with much revision. One of these revisions examined in this article is the inaptly yet intentionally named M-theory, which was the revolutionary postulation for the past…

Essay Wave Particle Duality: Double Split Experiments

Wave Particle Duality Wave particle duality that all particles exhibit both wave and particle properties. A central concept of quantum mechanics, this duality addresses the failure of classical concepts like particle and wave to fully describe the behaviour of quantum-scale objects. The idea of duality originated in a debate over the nature of light and matter that dates back to the 17th century, when Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton proposed opposing theories of light, one theory was that…

Essay about Soccer: Atom and Particles Atoms

the Atomic Theory Atom – The smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance. Element – A pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means. Atoms make up elements. Elements are made of only one kind of atom. Elements combine to form compounds. All matter is made of elements or compounds, so all matter is made of atoms. Atoms are so small that, until recently, no one had ever seen one. But ideas, or theories, about atoms…

Higgs Particle Essay

the “God Particle”, that was discovered last year. The Higgs Boson is the particle that would explain what scientist have been scratching their head over for years, how all matter in the universe gets its mass. In the 1960s, Peter Higgs and other physicists proposed a theory on how particles acquire mass. The theory suggests that everything in the universe is in what’s called a Higgs energy field, in which particles move around and attract Higgs Bosons, giving them their mass. Particles that would…

Nt1310 Unit 4 Force Analysis

The fundamental four forces and their carrier Quarks and lepton are the building blocks of matter. But, what hold these particles together? All the forces in the universe and particles interactions are the result of four fundamental forces: 5.1. Gravitational Force: Gravitational force is the most pervasive force in the universe, it acts on everything that has a mass over extremely large distances. For example, a skier uses it to race downhill, the solar system is held together due to it and the…

Essay On Quantum Mechanics

position and velocity of a particle at a given time, one can calculate the future and past positions and velocities of that particle at any given time. The consequence of quantum mechanics is that one cannot measure with arbitrary precision the position and the velocity of a particle. This is due to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Around 1925 there were two mathematical theories that attempted to explain electron orbits. Heisenberg interprets the electron as a particle. Schrodinger interprets…

Science Study Notes Heat And Temperatur Essay

Part A) 1. Theories of heat Caloric theory of heat- Heat energy was a substance (like a liquid or an invisible fluid) which flowed from a hot object to a colder one. But there is one weakness for this theory; why doesn’t the mass of the objects change if the ‘substances’ are flowing in and out of the objects. If the caloric theory of heat was real, the mass of the objects would change. Heat as energy theory- Heat was a form of energy and was related to the movement of the particles in an object…

John Dalton Essay

chemist and physicist. He is officially recognized as the first person to define the atom as the smallest particle of an element containing all of the elements properties. In 1909, John Dalton described atoms as solid, indestructible particles that make up all matter. John Dalton established a theory based on atoms of different elements being distinguished by differences in their weights. The theory had proposed different basic ideas. For instance, all matter is composed of atoms. It stated that all…

Hitler: Atom and Atomic Theory Essay

1922 Niels Bohr Contribution to atomic theory: Developed an explanation of atomic structure that underlies regularities of the periodic table of elements. His atomic model had atoms built up of sucessive orbital shells of electrons. Description of how he discovered: Niels Bohr was one of Rutherford's students. Rutherford's model thought that electrons just moved around the nucleus randomly. However, Bohr changed Rutherford's model due to newer discoveries about how the energy of an atom changes…

Explain How Did Jj Thomson Contribute To The Atomic Theory

How did JJ. Thomson contribute to the atomic theory? JJ. Thompson contributed to the atomic theory by discovering the electron. He experimenting with a cathode ray, he demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. Electrons play a major role in chemical bonds which result in a molecule or a compound formation. This is important to atomic theory because this discovery upended the prevailing theory that the atom was the smallest fundamental unit. Thomson was pushing his powerful mathematical…
