Labels: UK Example: Near-synonyms: highway (variably 'main' or not), high street (precisely coordinate) Example: BRITISH CONSTRUCTION OF TELEGRAPHIC APPARATUS. R. S. Culley states that small insulators, formed of good porcelain, are the best, although, on several accounts, ebonite is recommended. Dirt and moisture are the principal things to be guarded against, but not all; for many mischievous boys, who would not take the trouble to break an unpretending black cap, can not resist the temptation of throwing at a large white one. Insects, especially spiders, are a source of peculiar annoyance. In the high roads of Ireland they are very troublesome, and in India, however large an insulator may be, an insect of the proper size is always ready to inhabit it. With respect to the construction of a line of telegraph the author states that it is preferable to use suspended rather than buried wires, because of the liability of gutta-percha and india-rubber to deteriorate underground, the expense of repairing faults, and the retardation of signals in consequence of the greater inductive capacity of wires so laid. On the other hand, gutta-percha is indestructible in sea-water, which is not, however, the case with india-rubber. 2. A course of action which is dignified, honourable, or respectable. Labels: idiomatic Example: take the high road Example: The high road of public service and the low road of political advantage seem inextricably intertwined. 3.

English -emia English glycemia From glyc- + -emia. 1. Presence of glucose in the blood (which is always true), and (usually, more specifically) average concentration thereof over time, and its regulation; in this sense, glycemia is hypernymic to euglycemia, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia, and a mention of glycemia is a reference to blood sugar regulation and degree or quality thereof. Labels: US, countable, uncountable Example: Currently used methods to determine glycemia have certain disadvantages, including cost, heavy labor involvement, and storage problems. Determination of serum fructosamine levels, on the other hand, offers several potential advantages over these current measures. Our goal was to evaluate the utility of serum fructosamine as a measure of glycemia. […] Fructosamine levels were measured in 145 normal and diabetic subjects aged 20 to 86 years. The measured levels were then related to standard measures of glycemia, including glycosylated hemoglobin, glycosylated albumin, and fasting glucose. The effects of chronic illness and medications known to alter glucose tolerance were also investigated. […] Assay of serum fructosamine appears to be comparable to that of HbA1C for determination of glycemic control. Example: We explored whether subjective sleep duration, sleep quality, or risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are associated with glycemia, body mass index (BMI), or blood pressure (BP) in overweight/obese youth. 2. (occasionally, ambiguously) Hyperglycemia. Labels: US, countable, uncountable
