#: Because the Allied Occupation Zones in Germany were under great strain, the Czechoslovak government, the Polish provisional government and the control council in Hungary were asked to submit an estimate of the time and rate at which further transfers could be carried out having regard to the present situation in Germany and suspend further expulsions until these estimates were integrated into plans for an equitable distribution of these " removed " Germans among the several zones of occupation.

Because of the great diversity of forms found in this group, the Proteobacteria are named after Proteus, a Greek god of the sea, capable of assuming many different shapes, and it is therefore not named after the genus Proteus.

Because of the great variation in coat patterns ( no two zebras are alike ), taxonomists were left with a great number of described " species ", and no easy way to tell which of these were true species, which were subspecies, and which were simply natural variants.

Because water is incompressible and must remain within the confines of the bucket, this outward movement increases the depth of water at the larger radius, increasing the height of the surface at larger radius, and lowering it at smaller radius.

Because of its history as the nation's commercial center, New York common law has a depth and predictability not ( yet ) available in any other jurisdiction.

Because an electron beam only penetrates to a limited depth before being absorbed, typically up to 5 cm for electron energies in the range 5 – 20 MeV, electron therapy is useful for treating skin lesions such as basal cell carcinomas.

Because pressure was once commonly measured by its ability to displace a column of liquid in a manometer, pressures are often expressed as a depth of a particular fluid ( e. g. inches of water ).

Because, through the dithering process, the printer builds a single image pixel out of several printer dots to increase color depth, the printer's DPI setting must be set far higher than the desired PPI to ensure sufficient color depth without sacrificing image resolution.

Because the carrying capacity of a river depends in part on its depth, the sediment in the water which is over the flooded banks of the channel is no longer capable of keeping the same amount of fines in suspension as the main thalweg.

Because Lake Chad is very shallow — only at its deepest — its area is particularly sensitive to small changes in average depth, and consequently it also shows seasonal fluctuations in size of about 1 m every year.

Because the numbers and other characters are arranged one behind another, each character appears at a different depth, giving Nixie based displays a distinct appearance.

Because of the shallow character of the sea, the temperature usually lowers by only about 1 ° C with depth, but in cold winters, the difference can reach 5 – 7 ° C.

Because Epaminondas had stacked his left wing to a depth of fifty shields, the rest of his units were naturally left with far fewer troops than normal.

Because of the depth of the bedrock, the buildings were built on the world's deepest foundations.

Because production could not keep up with demand, anti-submarine vessels initially carried only two depth charges, to be released from a chute at the stern of the ship.

Because of the change in velocity of seismic waves it is believed that on continents at a certain depth sial becomes close in its physical properties to sima, and the dividing line is called the Conrad discontinuity.

Because subduction of slabs to depth is necessary to drive subduction zone volcanism ( through the destabilization and dewatering of minerals and the resultant flux melting of the mantle wedge ), flat-slab subduction can be invoked to explain volcanic gaps.

Because affine texture mapping does not take into account the depth information about a polygon's vertices, where the polygon is not perpendicular to the viewer it produces a noticeable defect.

Because pits and other features can be dug down into earlier levels, not all material at the same absolute depth is necessarily of the same age, but close attention has to be paid to the archeological layers.

Because of the lack of depth, water from the South Drain had to be pumped into the Huntspill river.

Because of its location and depth, the Port grew rapidly with the introduction of steamships ; and then with the completion in 1825 of the Erie Canal New York became the most important transshipping port between the American interior and Europe as well as coastwise destinations.

Because the depth of the pits is approximately one-quarter to one-sixth of the laser's wavelength, the reflected beam's phase is shifted in relation to the incoming reading beam, causing mutual destructive interference and reducing the reflected beam's intensity.

Because of the depth of the line, most underground stations on this line ( except Admiralty, Shau Kei Wan and Tai Koo ) have curved walls on the platforms, which are due to the routes ' cylindrical tunnels, only with a greater diameter.

Because absorption is greater for long wavelengths ( red end of the visible spectrum ) than for short wavelengths ( blue end of the visible spectrum ), the colour spectrum is rapidly altered with increasing depth.
