hemochromatosis

hemochromatosis (countable and uncountable, plural hemochromatoses)

/ˌhiːmə(ʊ)ˌkɹəʊməˈtəʊsɪs/

From hemo- (“blood”) + chromat- (“color”) + -osis (“disease”), from the changing color of blood affected by the disorder.

affix

Sometimes, it’s not the potential for big profits that restricts access to a gene test, but just the opposite-lack of commercial incentive. In 1996, a Stanford University research team found the gene for hemochromatosis, a little-known disease in which the blood absorbs abnormally high levels of iron from the diet.

2001, Arthur Allen, “Who Owns My Disease?”, in Mother Jones:

She flips another page and says, “Oh, now this is interesting.” Apparently I carry one of the two genetic mutations required to develop hemochromatosis, an iron-overload disorder that destroys the liver.

2005, Michael Rosenwald, “Will You Be Able to Predict—And Prevent—Your Disease?”, in Popular Science, volume 267, number 3, page 63:

Even if the two diseases in such a pair are clinically dissimilar, the primary pathophysiological events could overlap substantially (e.g., increased intestinal iron absorption in nutritional anemia and hemochromatosis).

2012, Mohammadali M. Shoja, R. Shane Tubbs, Alireza Ghaffari, Marios Loukas, Paul S. Agutter, “Rethinking the Origin of Chronic Diseases”, in BioScience, volume 62, number 5, Oxford UP, →DOI, page 470:

uranic

(chemistry) Containing uranium in higher valences than uranous compounds.

From many other places in the classics the impression may be won that Uranic love attained a higher position even than her sister. More recent explanations of the homosexual instinct have emanated from philosophers, psychologists and natural scientists.

1894, Richard Krafft-Ebing (trans F. J. Rebman), Psychopathia Sexualis, page 341

The patriotic assassination that so glorified Harmodios and Aristogeiton was in a vengeance for what was a homosexual marriage, we may say, between the two youths—whose uranic love was so virilized.

1908, Edward Prime-Stevenson, The Intersexes A History of Similisexualism as a Problem in Social Life, page 189:

But the fact was that ever since Frederick the Great had forbidden women to his Praetorian Guard in the 1750s, obliging the guards to seek the company of boys for their pleasure, Berlin had been identified with soldierly inversion and uranic sexuality. Paragraph 175 of the Federal Criminal Code still forbade all homosexual activity but there were so many male prostitutes in Berlin […] that the law was more or less unenforceable.

(rare, historical) Of, related to, or characteristic of male same-sex erotic desire and relationships; homosexual.

These substances contain from about five to nearly ten per cent. of lithia in combination with silica, from which it is best separated by the following process of Berzelius: […] .

This can be an acute problem with certain glass-ceramics because of the use of large quantities of lithia, in particular, which readily attack the refractories.

1990, A. Paul, Chemistry of Glasses, page 42:

The major source of lithia is lepidolite, the most widespread of the lithia-containing minerals with deposits in the United States, Canada, Rhodesia, South Africa, India, China, Russia, Japan and Germany.

calcines (present singular third-person)

The verb is derived from Late Middle English calcinen (“(alchemy, medicine) to heat (something) until it turns to powder; to change the nature of (something) by heating”) [and other forms], from Old French calciner (modern French calciner (“to calcinate; to calcine”)) and from its etymon Medieval Latin calcināre (“(alchemy) to burn like lime; to reduce to calx”), from Late Latin calcīna (“inorganic material containing calcium, lime”) + -āre (suffix forming present active infinitive forms of verbs). Calcīna is derived from Latin calcis, the genitive singular of calx (“chalk; limestone”), possibly from Ancient Greek χᾰ́λῐξ (khálix, “small stone, pebble; gravel, rubble”); further etymology unknown, possibly Pre-Greek.
The noun is derived from the verb.

peak oil

Or more worrying, that after many years of false alarms, the world is truly beginning to run out of oil? That last question is at the center of a fierce debate. Adherents of the “peak oil” theory warn of a permanent oil shortage.

2004 April 4, Daniel Yergin, “Imagining a $7-a-Gallon Future”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

Another consequence of reaching "peak oil" is the debate it will surely provoke in the United States over whether we should avert the coming crisis by drilling in pristine lands and waters long considered off limits or by engaging in conservation and development of alternative fuel sources.

2005 September 4, Carrie Abels Brattleboro, “The Breaking Point”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

In this view the 21st-century poison is peak oil theory, the idea that the world has reached its maximum oil production or soon will, and that we are entering a period when escalating energy costs will make the suburban lifestyle untenable.

2005 March 13, Natalie Canavor, “Running on Empty”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

By the time the last guitar duo performed “Here Comes the Sun,” everyone in the room was so keyed up — so ready to turn the impending dark age of peak oil and climate change into a renaissance — that no one heard the slightest menace in the line “Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting.”

2009 April 16, Jon Mooallem, “The End Is Near! (Yay!)”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

Peak oil hasn't happened, and it's unlikely to happen for a very long time.

2012 July 2, George Monbiot, “We were wrong on peak oil. There's enough to fry us all”, in The Guardian:

What follows from this is that the idea of peak oil has gone up in flames. We do not have too little fossil fuel, we have far too much.

2012 November 12, Damian Carrington, “IEA report reminds us peak oil idea has gone up in flames”, in the Guardian:

In mainstream usage since the early 2000s.

2003 January 23, Claude Martin, “Weather in Davos : Let's now get serious about warming”, in The International Herald Tribune, →ISSN:

The hotel plans to make the property "carbon neutral" — whereby carbon emissions are offset by tree planting or other green schemes, and the hotel car runs on filtered, used vegetable oil. Or will, when the promised supply arrives.

carbon footprint

en-noun

carbon footprint (plural carbon footprints)

Popularized by a 2005 advertising campaign for fossil-fuel company BP in order to shift blame for climate change onto individual consumers. Modelled after the ecological footprint concept developed in the 1990s.

Coordinate term: ecological footprint

House insulation is another way of reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint, as well as double glazing and draught-proofing.

1994, Peter Simmons, Petrol to Gas: A Fully Illustrated Guide to Complete D.I.Y.Conversion for the Motorist, Password Publishing, page 14:

Usage of local products has boosted the income of local farmers, created more work opportunities and lowered carbon footprints. Previously, business owners in Jiasian competed with each other and fought over business opportunities.

2018, Lena Dominelli, editor, The Routledge Handbook of Green Social Work, Routledge, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 134:

Also true is that building HS2 will produce considerable carbon emissions. However, those emissions pale into insignificance if this claim from the business case is true: "To put HS2's carbon footprint in perspective, the estimated total carbon emissions from both building and operating Phase 1 for a full 120 years produces the same amount of carbon as just one month of the UK's road network."

2020 May 6, Philip Haigh, “Just one more stop on the long journey to HS2 fulfillment [sic]”, in Rail, page 65:

But the oil companies would like you to think that’s how it works. It turns out that the concept of the “carbon footprint”, that popular measure of personal impact, was the brainchild of an advertising firm working for BP.

2021 August 23, Rebecca Solnit, “Big oil coined ‘carbon footprints’ to blame us for their greed. Keep them on the hook”, in The Guardian:

A measure of the amount of carbon dioxide produced by a person, organization or state in a given time.
