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 necessary phase change, the expander cycle is thrust limited by the square-cube rule.

Because suborbital spaceplanes are designed for trajectories that do not reach orbital speed, they do not need the kinds of thermal protection orbital spacecraft required during the hypersonic phase of atmospheric reentry.

Because the binding of the polymerase to the template is the rate-limiting step in DNA synthesis, the overall rate of DNA replication during S phase of the cell cycle is dependent on the processivity of the DNA polymerases performing the replication.

Because dysprosium and its compounds are highly susceptible to magnetization, they are employed in various data storage applications, such as in hard disks.

Because of the relationship between magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and applied magnetic field:

Because of this " head start ", it is often said that the cosine function leads the sine function or the sine lags the cosine.

Because of these lags there is a great potential for disequilibrium in the short run.

Because of the vulnerability of a player in such a position, the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) and the National Federation of State High School Associations (" Fed ") have adopted rules providing that if a player is positioned at least 7 yards behind the neutral zone to receive a snap, opponents are not to deliberately contact the snapper until one second after the snap ( NCAA ), or until the snapper has a chance to react ( Fed ).

Because the decoder is always one step behind in maintaining the table, it does not generate a table entry upon receiving the first code from the encoder, but will generate one for each succeeding code.

Because of the mystery behind his death, he was considered as a demi-god.

" Because the Democratic Party was splintered into bitter factions, Polk promised to serve only one term if elected, hoping that his disappointed rival Democrats would unite behind him with the knowledge that another candidate would be chosen in four years.

Because of this constant inebriated state, Nur Jahan, the favourite wife of Jahangir, became the actual power behind the throne.

Because he insisted in traveling in state Napoleon reprimanded him and ordered him to leave his court behind.

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 rock shelters form natural shelters from the weather, prehistoric humans often used them as living-places, and left behind debris, tools, and other artifacts.

Because none whom I have once raced by on my winged feet will now, though he wishes it sore, take hold of me from behind.

Because of questions raised by the State of Nevada and Congressional members about the quality of the science behind Yucca Mountain, the Department of Energy announced on March 31, 2006 the selection of Oak Ridge Associated Universities / Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education ( a not-for-profit consortium that includes 96 doctoral degree-granting institutions and 11 associate member universities ) to provide expert reviews of scientific and technical work on the Yucca Mountain Project.

Because the name of the filmmaker was not widely known, there were rumors that Andy Warhol was behind it.

Because they disapprove of Jessie, Sigrid and Jenny attempt to stop him, but he bullies his way past them with Dagmar and her mother following behind.

" Because his family could not afford a basketball, he learned how to shoot by tossing tennis balls and rags bound with rubber bands into a peach basket behind his family's home.

Because DCC cassettes had no " bulges " near the tape access holes, there was more space in the case behind the cassette to insert e. g. a booklet for a prerecorded tape, or a folded up card on which users could write the contents of the tape.

Because the halfback is usually the team's main ball carrier ( while the fullback is primarily a blocker ), modern offensive formations have positioned the halfback behind the fullback ( at the " tail end " of the formation ), to take advantage of the fullback's blocking abilities.
