* Because the device is never shut off completely there is no " turn on " time, little problem with charge storage, and generally better high frequency performance and feedback loop stability ( and usually fewer high-order harmonics ).

Because the output pulses have a fixed amplitude, the switching elements ( usually MOSFETs, but valves ( vacuum tubes ) and bipolar transistors were once used ) are switched either completely on or completely off, rather than operated in linear mode.

Because of their size, eyesight and powerful kicks, adult giraffes are usually not subject to predation.

Because thyroid tissue usually contains a substantial reserve of thyroid hormone, thyrostatics can take weeks to become effective, and the dose often needs to be carefully titrated over a period of months, with regular doctor visits and blood tests to monitor results.

Because it is usually more convenient to work with unrestricted integrals than restricted ones, we have chosen our normalizing constant to reflect this.

Because of its reactivity with water, lithium is usually stored under cover of a viscous hydrocarbon, often petroleum jelly.

Because of this, these devices are usually operated between crossed polarizers such that they appear bright with no voltage ( the eye is much more sensitive to variations in the dark state than the bright state ).

Because a compound word is composed of established lexeme they are usually easier to acquire than loan words or neologisms.

Because of this, a conjure hand is also considered a hoodoo bag ; usually made by a respected community conjure doctor.

Because harvest occurs in late autumn, cranberries for fresh market are frequently stored in thick walled barns without mechanical refrigeration.

Because of its relatively short half-life, < sup > 53 </ sup > Mn occurs only in tiny amounts due to the action of cosmic rays on iron in rocks.

Because so little information is available concerning what actually occurs inside of the country, the extent to which there is any rule of law is uncertain.

Because the light of the flash occurs too fast for the pupil to close, much of the very bright light from the flash passes into the eye through the pupil, reflects off the fundus at the back of the eyeball and out through the pupil.

Because of its extreme reactivity with oxygen and water, this element occurs naturally only in compounds with other elements, such as in the minerals strontianite and celestite.

Because this interaction takes place on atomic electrons it occurs with the same rate in both the heavy and light water.

) Because relatives share genes, genes causing altruism ( such as organ scale differentiation ) can spread if it occurs between relatives, see kin selection.

Because the brain is well protected by the skull, the early detection of a brain tumor occurs only when diagnostic tools are directed at the intracranial cavity.

Because of the curvature and downward tilt of Earth's magnetic field over the USA, the maximum EMP occurs south of the detonation and the minimum occurs to the north.

Because the temperature in the tropopause and lower stratosphere remains constant ( or slightly increases ) with increasing altitude, very little convective turbulence occurs at these altitudes.

DNA methylation frequently occurs in repeated sequences, and helps to suppress the expression and mobility of ' transposable elements ': Because 5-methylcytosine can be spontaneously deaminated ( replacing nitrogen by oxygen ) to thymidine, CpG sites are frequently mutated and become rare in the genome, except at CpG islands where they remain unmethylated.

Because of the wide variation in disease symptoms treatment typically occurs at specialist multidisciplinary centers, and is tailored to the individual.

Because so many small producers are involved, it is impractical to monitor all the farms and drying sites ( which is where aflatoxin contamination occurs ).

Because heliacal rising occurs in the east, and the sun's heat begins there daily, Sopdu was referred to as Lord of the East, and had his greatest cult centre at the easternmost nome of Lower Egypt, which was named Per-Sopdu, meaning place of Sopdu.

Because there is no difference between what is predicted and what happens, no new learning occurs on the additional trials with CS1 + CS2, hence CS2 later yields no response.

Because the center arm of the triglyceride is shielded somewhat by the end fatty acids, most of the hydrogenation occurs on the end fatty acids, thus making the resulting fat more brittle.
