Because of their relatively large mass, + 2 electric charge and relatively low velocity, alpha particles are very likely to interact with other atoms and lose their energy, so their forward motion is effectively stopped within a few centimeters of air.

Because it occupies a part of the celestial sphere that faces away from the Milky Way, Antlia contains very few deep-sky objects.

Because very few wells and springs have water throughout the year, the herders leave with the end of the rains, turning over the land to the antelopes, gazelles, and ostriches that can survive with little groundwater.

Because of economic and security concerns, financial institutions, and particularly microfinance institutions ( MFIs ), have consolidated their business in the capital, Bangui, over the past few years.

Because the remit of the Convention covers millions of species of plants and animals, and tens of thousands of these taxa are potentially of economic value, in practice this negative list approach effectively forces CITES signatories to expend limited resources on just a select few, leaving many species to be traded with neither constraint nor review.

Because of its extremely rigid lattice, it can be contaminated by very few types of impurities, such as boron and nitrogen.

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 the Army Distinguished Service Medal is principally awarded to general officers, a list of notable recipients would include nearly every general and admiral since 1918, many of whom received multiple awards, as well as a few civilians and sergeants major prominent for their contributions to national defense.

Because this layer is only a few molecules thick, at a macroscopic scale a clear phase transition interface can be seen.

Because of the small gauge of the film, owners of home-made films often find that their film can become shrunken and brittle to the point where the film is unwatchable in the space of a few years.

Because of Hund's rules, the first few electrons in a shell tend to have the same spin, thereby increasing the total dipole moment.

Because very few minerals contain it in high concentration, germanium was discovered comparatively late in the history of chemistry.

Because Galen's works were not translated into Latin in the ancient period, and because of the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, the study of Galen, along with the Greek medical tradition as a whole, went into decline in Western Europe during the Early Middle Ages, when very few Latin scholars could read Greek.

Because of its mountainous topography and lack of development, Laos has few reliable transportation routes.

Because there were few Catholic priests in the French Antilles, many of the earliest French settlers were Huguenots who sought greater religious freedom than what they could experience in mainland France.

Because the German economy could not produce adequate numbers of their half track APC, barely a quarter or a third of the infantry in Panzer or Panzergrenadier divisions was mechanized, except in a few favored formations.

Because mania frequently encourages high energy and decreased perception of need or ability to sleep, within a few days of a manic cycle, sleep-deprived psychosis may appear, further complicating the ability to think clearly.

Because there were usually few British regulars garrisoned in North America, colonial militia served a vital role in local conflicts, particularly in the French and Indian Wars.

Because there are few sellers, each oligopolist is likely to be aware of the actions of the others.

Because the conditions for perfect competition are strict, there are few if any perfectly competitive markets.

Because planned actions can typically only be submitted at a fixed maximum frequency ( e. g., once every few days or every few weeks ), the number of discrete actions is limited compared to real-time games.

Because the principle allowing revocation authority for keys is very powerful, the mechanisms used to control it should involve both as many participants as possible ( to guard against malicious attacks of this type ), while at the same time as few as possible ( to ensure that a key can be revoked without dangerous delay ).

Because the French government did not want to spend too much money on its colony it allowed for the establishment of the so-called Concessionary Companies, monopolies given a free hand to exploit the colony's resources except at a few strategic places, mainly around the Congo River.

Because of its cost and radioactivity, experimental chemical research is seldom performed with radon, and as a result there are very few reported compounds of radon, all either fluorides or oxides.

Because interframe compression copies data from one frame to another, if the original frame is simply cut out ( or lost in transmission ), the following frames cannot be reconstructed properly.

* 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 digital communications are generally error-free, copies of copies can be made indefinitely.

Because the result of scaling by whole numbers can be thought of as consisting of some number of copies of the original, whole-number products greater than 1 can be computed by repeated addition ; for example, 3 multiplied by 4 ( often said as " 3 times 4 ") can be calculated by adding 4 copies of 3 together:

Because The World Calendar is perpetual, there is no need to churn out copies of it every year.

Because the original of the chronicle as well as the earliest known copies are lost, it is difficult to establish the original content of the chronicle.

Because the printing involves mechanical pressure, these printers can create carbon copies and carbonless copies.

Because the printing involves mechanical pressure, these printers can create carbon copies and carbonless copies.

Because of the differences in international broadcasting, these copies had been converted to the North American NTSC television standard, and so one chunk of the series remained in its native PAL format, but the majority were found in a poorly-converted ( dating long before digital conversion methods ) NTSC state.

Because the music world's focus was redirected squarely at Seattle, No Doubt's album was not supported by the record label and considered a commercial failure for selling only 30, 000 copies.

Because the pits in the plate are not deep, only a small number of top-quality impressions ( copies ) can be printed before the quality of the tone starts to degrade as the pressure of the press begins to smooth them out.

Because the per-unit cost is typically greater with POD than with a print run of thousands of copies, it is common for POD books to be more expensive than similar books that come from conventional print runs, especially if that book is produced exclusively with POD instead of using POD as a supplemental technology between print runs.
