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

Because they function as an energy store, these lipids comprise the bulk of storage fat in animal tissues.

Because the muon is a lepton, the atomic energy levels of muonium can be calculated with great precision from quantum electrodynamics ( QED ), unlike the case of hydrogen, where the precision is limited by uncertainies related to the internal structure of the proton.

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 it requires no battery or other source of energy, the magneto is a compact and reliable self-contained ignition system, which is why it remains in use in many general aviation applications.

Because the nuclear force is stronger than the Coulomb force for atomic nuclei smaller than iron and nickel, building up these nuclei from lighter nuclei by fusion releases the extra energy from the net attraction of these particles.

Because of the low first ionization energy ( 418. 8 kJ / mol ) the potassium atom easily loses an electron and oxidizes into the monopositive cation, K < sup >+</ sup >.

Because water and most liquids are nearly incompressible, almost all of the available energy is extracted in the first stage of the hydraulic turbine.

-- Held out of Texas Tech's sweat-suits drill Monday at Lubbock was tackle Richard Stafford, who is undergoing treatment for a leg injury suffered in the Raiders' 38-7 loss to Texas A & M Because of its important game with Arkansas coming up Saturday, Baylor worked out in the rain Monday -- mud or no mud.

Because there is no selection pressure for sight in this environment, any number of genetic abnormalities that give rise to the damage or loss of eyes could proliferate among the population with no effect on the fitness of the population.

Because the act of processing results in the loss of certain vitamins and minerals ( such as magnesium ), some consider raw cacao to be a more nutritious form of chocolate.

Because transpiration takes place during the cooler, more humid night hours, water loss is significantly reduced.

Because the loss of property and life in the 1831 rebellion, the British Parliament held two inquiries.

Because the linear movement of the piston must be converted to a rotational movement of the crank, mechanical loss is experienced as a consequence.

Because one operator and two operands are removed and one operand is added, there is a net loss of one operator and one operand, which still leaves an expression with N operators and N + 1 operands, thus allowing the iterative process to continue.

Because of this, the psychological effects on her childhood were profound, for "… in one stroke she experienced the loss of the two most nourishing and protective people around her — the loss of her father at death and her mother to grief ".

Because the end of the Cold War in 1991, mooted the USSR, the Iron Curtain countries, and Russia as credible enemies of democracy, espionage novelists were at a ( temporary ) loss for nemeses.

Because of its early loss, Challenger was the only space shuttle that never wore the NASA " meatball " logo, and also was never modified with the MEDS " glass cockpit ".

Because the FM modulation of SECAM's color sub carrier is insensitive to phase ( or amplitude ) errors, phase errors do not cause loss of color saturation in SECAM, although they do in PAL.

Because the processor has duplex hardware, one active side, and one standby side, a failure of one side of the processor will not necessarily result in a loss of switching.

Because of the inevitable loss associated with gearing, many drives eliminate it by using slow high-torque motors.

Because of the school's financial and managerial problems after this loss, business leaders in 1878 formed a board of trustees and founded the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.

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

Because China's capital ( and second largest city ), Beijing, and the third largest city, Tianjin, both lie in the Hai He Basin, Hai He floods cause a significant loss.

Because both the nerve to Stapedius and the chorda tympani nerve ( taste ) are branches of the facial nerve, patients with Bell's palsy may present with hyperacusis or loss of taste sensation in the anterior 2 / 3 of the tongue.

Because the storage is in RAM, it is volatile memory, which means it will be lost in the event of power loss, whether intentional ( computer reboot or shutdown ) or accidental ( power failure ).

Researchers have concluded that " Because these neurons are a pivotal source of norepinephrine throughout the brainstem and forebrain and are involved in the regulation of diverse functions disrupted in Rett syndrome, such as respiration and cognition, we hypothesize that the locus coeruleus is a critical site at which loss of MECP2 results in CNS dysfunction.
