WHAT IS ECOLOGY?
KINDS OF ECOLOGY
Ecology, Bionomics, Environmental Science
The branch of science concerned with the interrelationship of organisms and their ENVIRONMENT, especially as manifested by natural cycles and rhythms, community development and structure, interactions between different kinds of organisms, geographic distributions, and population alterations. (Webster's, 3d ed)
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION
ONE OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION IN ECOLOGY IS THE ORGANIZATION OF MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE OR COSMOS
MATTER
There are five main states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and BoseEinstein condensates
FORCES
ENERGY
HISTORY
Early in human history , people thought that all matter was composed of 4 + 1main elements :
Greek philosopher Democritus (460-371 B.C.) formulated the atomic hypothesis: All matter consists of smallest (indivisible) entities (atoms), separated by empty space.
Combinations of the different kinds of atoms form all the things in nature.
The name atom comes from the Greek "" tomos (from -, "un-" + temno, "to cut"), which means uncuttable, or indivisible, something that cannot be divided further.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, chemists provided a physical basis for this idea by showing that certain substances could not be further broken down by chemical methods.

MILKY WAY
The Local Group is a small collection of galaxies consisting of three large spiral galaxies (the Milky Way, Andromeda, and M32) plus many smaller satellite galaxies.
The satellite galaxies have low masses and low luminosities, which makes it difficult to detect them, and many were only discovered recently.
The Virgo Cluster is a cluster of galaxies whose center is 53.8 0.3 Mly away in the constellation Virgo. Comprise approximately 1300 (and possibly up to 2000) member galaxies.
The Virgo Cluster is the closest and beststudied great cluster of galaxies, lying at a distance of approximately 20 Mpc in the constellation of Virgo.

Between 1993 and 2002, four missions repaired, upgraded, and replaced systems on the telescope, . one final servicing mission completed in 2009. The telescope is now expected to function until at least 2014. Its scientific successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), is due to be launched by 2018.
Space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation. A 2.4 meter (about 8 ft.) aperture telescope in low Earth orbit, Hubble's four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble.

HIERACHIES OF MATTER
More than 2000 years ago the Greek philosopher Democritus (460-371 B.C.) formulated the atomic hypothesis: All matter consists of smallest (indivisible) entities (atoms), separated by empty space. Combinations of the different kinds of atoms form all the things in nature.
THEN, IN 1911-NUCLEUS
The New Zealander, Ernest Rutherford, performed an experiment that consisted of shooting alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold. He then detected that very few of these bounced back instead of going through the foil. He then concluded that within the atom there was a tiny dense center which he called the nucleus, which caused some alpha particles to bounce back.
NUCLEUS
Its size is only about 10-12 cm, i.e. 1000 times smaller than an atom. From this it can be seen, that the atoms and therefore ordinary matter are mainly empty space. Matter can therefore be compressed enormously, e.g. in a neutron star, where gravitation exerts a crushing force, and matter is compressed by a factor 1000000 million - the pyramid of Cheops would fit into a nutshell at that density.
BY THEN
Discovery of the electron in 1897 and of the atomic nucleus in 1911 established that the atom is actually a composite of a cloud of electrons surrounding a tiny but heavy core.
IN 1918 - PROTON
In 1917, Rutherford proved that the hydrogen nucleus is present in other nuclei, a result usually described as the discovery of the proton. He noticed that, when alpha particles were shot into air, and (after experimentation) to a higher degree into pure nitrogen gas, his scintillation detectors showed the signatures of hydrogen nuclei. Rutherford determined that this hydrogen could have come only from the nitrogen, and therefore nitrogen must contain hydrogen nuclei. The hydrogen nucleus is, therefore, present in other nuclei as an elementary particle, which Rutherford named the proton, after the neuter singular of the Greek word for "first", .
1897 ELECTRON (J.J. THOMSON) 1911 NUCLEUS (E. RUTHERFORD) 1918 PROTON (E. RUTHERFORD) 1932 NEUTRON (JAMES CHADWICK)
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has verified and now recognizes the claims for discovery of 112 elements (1 through 112); another five discoveries have been claimed by competent researchers and published in peer reviewed journals (113 through 116 and 118) but have not yet received verification and acceptance by IUPAC.

HRTEM brings us a direct view of the crystal structure in the nanocrystals. The HRTEM cross-section of the Si nanowires explains the 6-fold symmetry of the GaAs nanowhiskers observed by SEM.
MAKING IT POSSIBLE
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is an imaging mode of the transmission electron microscope (TEM) that allows the imaging of the crystallographic structure of a sample at an atomic scale. At present, the highest resolution realised is 0.8 ngstrms (0.08 nm) with microscopes such as the OAM at NCEM. Ongoing research soon push the resolution of HRTEM to 0.5 . At these small scales, individual atoms and crystalline defects can be imaged.
TIMELINE
Electron microscopes (1931) use streams of electrons instead of light to create images.

LEPTONS
A lepton is an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. The best known of all leptons is the electron which governs nearly all of chemistry as it is found in atoms and is directly tied to all chemical properties. Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos).
Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed.
THERE ARE SIX TYPES OF LEPTONS, KNOWN AS FLAVOURS, FORMING THREE GENERATIONS.
First Generation is the electronic leptons: electrons (e) electron neutrinos (e) Second Generation (muonic leptons: muons () muon neutrinos ();
ELECTRON
ELECTRON
Electrons have the least mass of all the charged leptons. The heavier muons and taus will rapidly change into electrons through a process of particle decay. Thus electrons are stable and the most common charged lepton in the universe, whereas muons and taus can only be produced in high energy collisions (such as those involving cosmic rays and those occurring in particle accelerator.
Electron Beam
ELECTRON
Negative electric charge. No known components or substructure, and therefore is believed to be an elementary particle. Mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton. The intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of the electron is a half integer value in units of which means that it is a fermion. The antiparticle of the electron is called the positron, which is identical to the electron except that it carries electrical and other charges of the opposite sign.

GENERATIONS OR PAIRS
The matter particles come in three generations: the particles in each successive generation have greater mass but are otherwise the same as their corresponding particles in the first generation. Only particles of the first generation are stable (the particles of the other generations tending to decay into other particles). They are the up quark, the down quark, the electron, and the electron neutrino.

Gluons are elementary particles which act as the exchange particles (or gauge bosons) for the color force between quarks, analogous to the exchange of photons in the electromagnetic force between two charged particles.
COLOR-CHARGE
Quarks and gluons are color-charged particles. Just as electrically-charged particles interact by exchanging photons in electromagnetic interactions, color-charged particles exchange gluons in strong interactions. When two quarks are close to one another, they exchange gluons and create a very strong color force field that binds the quarks together. The force field gets stronger as the quarks get further apart. Quarks constantly change their color charges as they exchange gluons with other quarks.
COLOR CHARGE
There are three color charge Three corresponding anticolor (complementary color) charges. Each quark has one of the three color charges Each antiquark has one of the three anticolor charges.

All hadrons except protons are unstable and undergo particle decay However neutrons are stable inside atomic nuclei.
BARYONS
BARYON
A baryon is a composite particle made up of three quarks The name "baryon" comes from the Greek word for "heavy" (, barys), because, at the time of their naming, most known particles had lower masses than the baryons.
The most familiar baryons are the protons and neutrons that make up most of the mass of the visible matter in the universe.

STANDARD MODEL
The Standard Model is the name given to the current theory of fundamental particles and how they interact. This theory includes: Strong interactions due to the color charges of quarks and gluons. A combined theory of weak and electromagnetic interaction, known as electroweak theory, that introduces W and Z bosons as the carrier particles of weak processes, and photons as mediators to electromagnetic interactions.
CREDENTIALS
Since then, discoveries of the:
Bottom quark (1977), Top quark (1995) and Tau neutrino (2000)
Because of its success in explaining a wide variety of experimental results, the Standard Model is sometimes regarded as a theory of almost everything.
The current theoretical framework that describes elementary particles and their forces, known as the Standard Model, is based on experiments that started in 1897 with the discovery of the electron.
Today, we know that there are six leptons, six quarks and four force carriers.
SHORT FALL
Still, the Standard Model falls short of being a complete theory of fundamental interactions because it does not incorporate the physics of general relativity, such as gravitation, and dark energy.
Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon predicted by Bruno Pontecorvo whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavor (electron, muon or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavor.
