Uric \U"ric\, a. [Gr. [?] urine: cf. F. urique. See {Urine}.]       (Physiol. Chem.)       Of or pertaining to urine; obtained from urine; as, uric       acid.          {Uric acid}, a crystalline body, present in small quantity in             the urine of man and most mammals. Combined in the form of             urate of ammonia, it is the chief constituent of the urine             of birds and reptiles, forming the white part. Traces of             it are also found in the various organs of the body. It is             likewise a common constituent, either as the free acid or             as a urate, of urinary or renal calculi and of the             so-called gouty concretions. From acid urines, uric acid             is frequently deposited, on standing in a cool place, in             the form of a reddish yellow sediment, nearly always             crystalline. Chemically, it is composed of carbon,             hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, {C5H4N4O3}, and by             decomposition yields urea, among other products. It can be             made synthetically by heating together urea and glycocoll.             It was formerly called also {lithic acid}, in allusion to             its occurrence in stone, or calculus.

Economic development    has been restrained in recent years by excessive government regulation    of economic detail and 40% to 130% inflation. Although the GDP growth    rate slowed in 1993 to 1.7%, following a healthy expansion to 7.5% in    1992, it rebounded in 1994 to an estimated 4%, spurred mostly by    increasing agricultural and other exports and a surprise reversal of    the downward trend in industrial production. In a major step toward    regional economic cooperation, Uruguay confirmed its commitment to the    Southern Cone Common Market (MERCOSUR) customs union by implementing    MERCOSUR's common external tariff on most tradables on 1 January 1995.    Inflation in 1994 declined for the third consecutive year, yet, at    44%, it remains the highest in the region; analysts predict that the    expanding fiscal deficit and wage indexation will force the inflation    rate back toward the 50% mark in 1995.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $23 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 4% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $7,200 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 44% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: 9% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $2.9 billion    expenditures: $3 billion, including capital expenditures of $388    million (1991 est.)       Exports: $1.78 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: wool and textile manufactures, beef and other animal    products, leather, rice    partners: Brazil, Argentina, US, China, Italy       Imports: $2.461 billion (c.i.f., 1994 est.)    commodities: machinery and equipment, vehicles, chemicals, minerals,    plastics    partners: Brazil, Argentina, US, Nigeria       External debt: $4.2 billion (1993)       Industrial production: growth rate 3.9% (1992); accounts for 28% of    GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 2,070,000 kW    production: 9 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 1,575 kWh (1993)       Industries: meat processing, wool and hides, sugar, textiles,    footwear, leather apparel, tires, cement, petroleum refining, wine       Agriculture: accounts for 12% of GDP; large areas devoted to livestock    grazing; wheat, rice, corn, sorghum; fishing; self-sufficient in most    basic foodstuffs       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-88), $105 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $420 million; Communist countries (1970-89), $69 million       Currency: 1 Uruguayan peso ($Ur) = 100 centesimos       Exchange rates: Uruguayan pesos ($Ur) per US$1 - 5.6 (January 1995),    4.4710 (January 1994), 3.9484 (1993), 3.0270 (1992), 2.0188 (1991),    1.1710 (1990)    note: on 1 March 1993 the former New Peso (N$Ur) was replaced as    Uruguay's unit of currency by the Peso which is equal to 1,000 of the    New Pesos       Fiscal year: calendar year       Uruguay:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 3,000 km    standard gauge: 3,000 km 1.435-m gauge       Highways:    total: 49,900 km    paved: 6,700 km    unpaved: gravel 3,000 km; earth 40,200 km       Inland waterways: 1,600 km; used by coastal and shallow-draft river    craft       Ports: Fray Bentos, Montevideo, Nueva Palmira, Paysandu, Punta del    Este       Merchant marine:    total: 3 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 71,405 GRT/110,939 DWT    ships by type: cargo 1, container 1, oil tanker 1       Airports:    total: 85    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 2    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 5    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 8    with paved runways under 914 m: 54    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 2    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 14       Uruguay:Communications       Telephone system: 337,000 telephones; telephone density 10/100    persons; some modern facilities    local: most modern facilities concentrated in Montevideo    intercity: new nationwide microwave network    international: 2 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) earth stations       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 99, FM 0, shortwave 9    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 26    televisions: NA       Uruguay:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy (includes Naval Air Arm, Coast Guard, Marines),    Air Force, Grenadier Guards, Coracero Guard, Police       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 775,060; males fit for military    service 629,385 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $216 million, 2.3% of    GDP (1991 est.)
