Because of energy loss fluctuations, accurate measurement of the energy deposited is of less use.

Because they rely on coercion, which is illegal except in the case of conservatorship and is generally viewed as unethical, deprogrammers ' critiques of the unethical practices of cults will tend to have less credibility with cult members than the critiques of exit counselors.

Because they are less sensitive they are usable in a wider variety of applications and are safer to handle and store.

Because the muskoxen's natural range favors the protected Northeast Greenland National Park, it is a less common object of hunting than in the past.

Because silver was worth less than its legal equivalent in gold, taxpayers paid their government bills in silver, while international creditors demanded payment in gold, resulting in a depletion of the nation's gold supply.

Because corned black powder grains made with saltpeter are less affected by moisture in the air, they can be stored unsealed without degradation by humidity.

Because of the uncertainty of the crisis, banks gave less loans which led to a decrease in investment.

Because of their symmetry, toroidal cores allow a minimum of the magnetic flux to escape outside the core ( called leakage flux ), so they radiate less electromagnetic interference than other shapes.

Because the operations of the military have been traditionally cloaked by the ubiquitous blanket of “ state security ”, the corruption has been less in public view, and thus less subject to public scrutiny and notoriety.

Because of his poor grades, his father forced him to transfer to the far more serious and academically oriented University of Berlin, where his legal studies became less significant to him than excursions into philosophy and history.

Because his relationship with his new stepmother was less than happy, in January 1942 Karlheinz became a boarder at the teachers ' training college in Xanten, where he continued his piano training and also studied oboe and violin ( Kurtz 1992, 18 ).

Because of its relative nuclear instability, lithium is less common in the solar system than 25 of the first 32 chemical elements even though the nuclei are very light in atomic weight.

Because the black mattes are part of the picture, they take up space in the signal that could be used for active picture information, forcing the picture to use less vertical space in the signal than if it were anamorphically encoded.

Because Mage's themes are potentially quite complex and esoteric, and because its Sphere system rules are relatively open-ended, Mage is often daunting, particularly to novice roleplayers and those accustomed to other games whose rules govern the use of magic with greater precision but less flexibility ( e. g., games with catalogs of established " spells ").

Because of such significant deviations from the animated series, movies, and subsequent sequels the novels themselves are not considered canonical ; however, the detailed account of past events leading up to the introduction of the mobile suit and early skirmishes of the OYW are more or less accepted in the continuity.

Because the segments ( 2 ) and ( 4 ) are adiabats, no heat flows into or out of the body during them, and consequently the net heat supplied to the body during the cycle is given by

Because there are no plate tectonics on Venus, heat is only lost by conduction through the lithosphere.

Because of its burning properties and the amount of heat and gas volume that it generates, gunpowder has been widely used as a propellant in firearms and as a pyrotechnic composition in fireworks.

Because of helium's relatively low molar ( atomic ) mass, its thermal conductivity, specific heat, and sound speed in the gas phase are all greater than any other gas except hydrogen.

Because cold is the absence of heat, Iceman does not actually ' emanate ' cold ; rather, he decreases thermal energy.

Because of its large size and habit of sleeping in these burrows, it is able to conserve body heat throughout the night and minimize its basking period the morning after.

Because of this, it is a good conductor of heat and electricity as well as a highly reactive element, though the least reactive of the alkali metals.

Because of its specific heat capacity, the highest of all solids, lithium metal is often used in coolants for heat transfer applications.

Because the ionosphere is an ohmic conductor of sorts, such flow will heat it up.

Because the rolling plateaus lie at an elevation averaging 700 meters above sea level, they offer relief from the often oppressive heat of the coastal lowlands.

Because the continental crust is so much thicker than the oceanic crust, it conducts heat less efficiently, making it function like an insulating blanket.

Because of the excessive heat and inadequately experienced drivers attempting to access the desert in the past, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has decided since 2008-2009 to close the Simpson Desert during the summer — to save unprepared " adventurers " from themselves.

Because of the high cost of kitchen modifications, coupled with increased heat and smoke generated in the kitchen, more and more home chefs are using their wok outdoors on high-heat propane burners with curved wok support grates.

Because the reactor could supply more heat to the propellant than chemical combustion, higher exhaust velocities, i. e., higher specific impulses were possible.

Because of the crimp, wool fabrics have a greater bulk than other textiles, and retain air, which causes the product to retain heat.

Because slate was formed in low heat and pressure, compared to a number of other metamorphic rocks, some fossils can be found in slate ; sometimes even microscopic remains of delicate organisms.

Because of their small size, porpoises lose body heat to the water more rapidly than other cetaceans.

Because of this heat loss the fluid becomes denser than the fluid underneath it, which is still rising.

Because dew is related to the temperature of surfaces, in late summer it is formed most easily on surfaces which are not warmed by conducted heat from deep ground, such as grass, leaves, railings, car roofs, and bridges.
