Spreading the News is a short one act comic play by Lady Gregory , which she wrote for the opening night of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, 27 Dec. 1904.

I mustn t be so amusing again ref quoted in Kohfeldt, Mary Lou, Lady Gregory The Woman Behind the Irish Renaissance NY Athenuem, 1985 , p. 176 ref Plot summary In a small village in rural Ireland, a new English magistrate inspects stalls at the local fair, expecting the worst. Because of Mrs. Tarpey s hearing impairment and the villagers love of gossip, a misunderstanding grows and grows, leading to a false arrest for a murder that never happened. The play ends abruptly, with little resolution we are left wondering what happened. Most of the humour is situational, rather than playing with language. Because we know what really happened at the beginning, most of the play uses Irony dramatic irony . Main characters The majority of the characters are flat and undefined.

Neutron activation is the process in which neutron radiation induces radioactivity in materials, and occurs when atomic nucleus atomic nuclei capture free neutron s, becoming heavier and entering excited state s. The excited nucleus often decays immediately by emitting particles such as neutrons, proton s, or alpha particle s. The neutron capture , even after any intermediate decay, often results in the formation of an unstable activation product . Such radioactive nuclei can exhibit half life half lives ranging from small fractions of a second to many years. An example of this kind of a nuclear reaction occurs in the production of cobalt 60 within a nuclear reactor nuclide cobalt 59 n nuclide cobalt 60 The cobalt 60 decays by the emission of a beta particle plus gamma ray s into nickel 60. This reaction has a half life of about 5.27 years, and cobalt 60 is a valuable source of nuclear radiation for radiotherapy . In other cases, and depending on the kinetic energy of the neutron, the capture of a neutron can cause nuclear fission the splitting of the atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei. If the fission requires an input of energy, that comes from the kinetic energy of the neutron.

The entropy of activation is one of the two parameters typically obtained from the temperature dependence of a reaction rate, when these data are analysed using the Eyring equation . Symbolized S sup sup , the entropy of activation provides clues about the molecularity of the rate determining step in a reaction, i.e. whether the reactants are bonded to each other, or not. Positive values suggest that entropy increases upon achieving the transition state, which often indicates a Dissociative substitution dissociative mechanism . Negative values for S sup sup indicate that entropy decreases upon achieving the transition state, which often indicates an Associative substitution associative mechanism .

Activation products are materials made radioactive by neutron activation . Fission products and actinide s produced by neutron absorption of nuclear fuel itself are normally referred to by those specific names, and activation product reserved for products of neutron capture by other materials, such as structural components of the nuclear reactor or nuclear bomb , the reactor coolant, control rods or other neutron poison s, or materials in the environment. All of these, however, need to be handled as radioactive waste . Some nuclides originate in more than one way, as activation products or fission products. Activation products in a reactor s primary coolant loop are a main reason why reactors use a chain of two or even three coolant loops linked by heat exchanger s. Fusion reactor s will not produce radioactive waste from the fusion product nuclei themselves, which are normally just helium 4 , but generate high neutron fluxes, so activation products are a particular concern.

Oocyte or ovum egg activation is a series of processes that occur in the oocyte after fertilisation . Sperm entry causes calcium release into the oocyte. In mammals, this has been proposed to be caused by the introduction of phospholipase C isoform zeta PLC from the sperm cytoplasm, although this remains to be established definitively. Activation of the ovum includes the following events Cortical reaction to block against other sperm cells Activation of egg metabolism Reactivation of meiosis DNA synthesis Sperm trigger of egg activation The sperm may trigger egg activation via the interaction between a sperm protein and an egg surface receptor. It is possible that a receptor is activated by the sperm binding which activates a tyrosine kinase which then activates phospholipase C PLC . The inositol signaling system has been implicated as the pathway involved with egg activation. IP sub 3 sub and DAG are produced from the cleavage of PIP sub 2 sub by phospholipase C. However, another hypothesis is that a soluble sperm factor diffuses from the sperm into the egg cytosol upon sperm oocyte fusion. The results of this interaction could activate a signal transduction pathway that uses second messengers . A novel PLC isoform, PLC , may be the equivalent of the mammalian sperm factor. A recent paper shows that mammaliam sperm contain PLC zeta which can start the signaling cascade. ref cite journal author Saunders C, Larman M, Parrington J, Cox L, Royse J, Blayney L, Swann K, Lai F title PLC zeta a sperm specific trigger of Ca 2 oscillations in eggs and embryo development. journal Development volume 129 issue 15 pages 3533 44 year 2002 pmid 12117804 ref Fast and slow block to polyspermy See Cortical reaction Polyspermy is the condition when multiple sperm fuse with a single egg.
