Because of their small size and the difficulty of crystallizing integral membrane proteins for X-ray analysis, it is only very recently that scientists have been able to directly examine what channels " look like.

Because the Italian for channels is canali, English translations tended to render the word as " canals ", implying artificial construction.

Because of the variety of voltage-sensitive ion channels that can be embedded in the membrane of a neuron, many types of neurons are capable, even in isolation, of generating rhythmic sequences of action potentials, or rhythmic alternations between high-rate bursting and quiescence.

Because each frame of a T1 is 193 bits in length ( 24 channels × 8 bits per channel + 1 framing bit

Because messages from superiors are considered to be more important than those from subordinates, the implicit rule is that communication channels, except for prescribed information flows, should not be cluttered by messages from subordinates but should remain open and free for messages moving down the chain of command.

Because of this, many AM stations must cut power or go off-air at night, except for the very earliest stations still grandfathered on clear channels.

Because satellites have a limited number of frequencies to use, the ability to re-use a frequency for different geographical locations ( without different data interfering with each other at the receiver ) allows for more local channels to be carried, since the same frequency can be used in several regions.

Because the low-frequency effects channel requires only a fraction of the bandwidth of the other audio channels, it is referred to as the ". 1 " channel ; for example " 5. 1 " or " 7. 1 ".

Because electroosmotic velocities are independent of conduit size, as long as the double layer is much smaller than the characteristic length scale of the channel, electroosmotic flow is most significant when in small channels.

Because of difficulties measuring and monitoring flow in micro fluidic channels, primarily disrupting the flow pattern, most analysis is done through numerical methods and simulation.

Because of this convoluted history, it has also been termed a " troll nerve.

Because transparency is of prime importance the cornea does not have blood vessels ; it receives nutrients via diffusion from the tear fluid through the outside surface and the aqueous humour through the inside surface, and also from neurotrophins supplied by nerve fibres that innervate it.

Because of the widespread occurrence of gap junctions in cell types other than nerve cells the term gap junction became more generally used than the term electrical synapse.

Because of its essential function, chemicals that interfere with the action of cholinesterase are potent neurotoxins, causing excessive salivation and eye-watering in low doses, followed by muscle spasms and ultimately death ( examples are some snake venoms, and the nerve gases sarin and VX ).

Because the contracture occurred at the same time as the paralysis, he considered a nerve etiology to be unlikely.

Because of their similar recordings, electroneuronography cannot, by itself, distinguish between the latter two forms of nerve injury.

Because the posterior optic nerve passes through the optic canal, a boney tunnel leading to the brain, swelling in this inelastic space causes compression.

Because of their high number of nerve endings, the lips are an erogenous zone.

Because the vagus nerve is associated with many different functions and brain regions, research is being done to determine its usefulness in treating other illnesses, including various anxiety disorders, Alzheimer's disease, migraines, fibromyalgia, and tinnitus.

This efferent arc is also known as the Cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway Because this strategy targets the release of TNF, it may be possible to use vagus nerve stimulation instead of anti-TNF antibodies ( e. g., Remicade or Enbrel ) to treat inflammation.

Because religion continues to be recognized in Western thought as a universal impulse, many religious practitioners have aimed to band together in interfaith dialogue, cooperation, and religious peacebuilding.

Because the impulse is blocked, an accessory pacemaker in the lower chambers will typically activate the ventricles.

Because of the multiplication-convolution property ( Convolution theorem ), the Fourier transform of a Gabor filter's impulse response is the convolution of the Fourier transform of the harmonic function and the Fourier transform of the Gaussian function.

Because the sinus node is rich in acetylcholinesterase, the effect of any vagal impulse is brief because the acetylcholine is rapidly hydrolyzed.

Because of the means of publication -- science-fiction magazines and cheap paperbacks -- and because dystopian science fiction is still appearing in quantity the full range and extent of this phenomenon can hardly be known, though one fact is evident: the science-fiction imagination has been immensely fertile in its extrapolations.

Because of its importance, and because the lack of price competition is well recognized, the industry is under considerable public pressure not to raise its price any more than could be justified by cost increases.

Because agricultural activities are seasonal and the areas of production and harvest of many foods are widely scattered geographically, and because of the high cost of transporting bulk food items any substantial distance to a central processing location, the use of large central processing stations, where low-cost radiation facilities approaching the megawatt range might be utilized, is inherently impracticable.

Because of this, and because of the use of additional devices in the spectrometer, the signal-to-noise ratio of background-corrected signals is always significantly inferior compared to uncorrected signals.

2: 8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men ’ s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.

Because of this property, the collapsed stars were called " frozen stars ," because an outside observer would see the surface of the star frozen in time at the instant where its collapse takes it inside the Schwarzschild radius.

Because the size of the dispersed phase may be difficult to measure, and because colloids have the appearance of solutions, colloids are sometimes identified and characterized by their physico-chemical and transport properties.

Because much physical and spiritual violence was done to Jews in the name of Jesus and his followers, and because evangelism is still an active aspect of many church's activities, many Jews are uncomfortable with discussing Jesus and treat him as a non-person.

* Copying: Because of the inevitable presence of noise, making many successive copies of an analog communication is infeasible because each generation increases the noise.

Because these vary considerably, and because only a few sketches are known to have been drawn from live specimens, its exact appearance remains a mystery.

Because this Victorian cycle differed from the Alexandrian cycle in the dates of some of the Paschal Full Moons, and because it tried to respect the Roman custom of fixing Easter to the Sunday in the week of the 16th to the 22nd of the lunar month ( rather than the 15th to the 21st as at Alexandria ), by providing alternative " Latin " and " Greek " dates in some years, occasional disagreements from the date of Easter as fixed by Alexandrian rules continued.

Because such waves conserve the amount of energy they transmit through any spherical boundary surface drawn around their source, and because such surfaces have an area that is defined by the square of the distance from the source, the power of EM radiation always varies according to an inverse-square law.
