Because the length of the lunar month is not an even fraction of the length of the tropical year, a purely lunar calendar quickly drifts against the seasons, which don't vary much near the equator.

Because of that the vehicle with the bridge on board is only 11. 6 m long, but the over all span length is 20 m. This is an increase of about 62 % over that of the older MTU-1.

Because cylinder bore diameter, piston stroke length and combustion chamber volume are almost always constant, the compression ratio for a given engine is almost always constant, until engine wear takes its toll.

Because these paired books had to fit a fixed total page length, one or both were usually abridged to fit, and Wollheim often made other editorial alterations — as witness the differences between Poul Anderson's Ace novel War of the Wing-Men and its definitive revised edition, The Man Who Counts.

Because of the roughly eleven-day difference between twelve lunar months and one solar year, the length of the Hebrew calendar year varies in the repeating 19-year Metonic cycle of 235 lunar months, with the intercalary month added according to defined rules every two or three years, for a total of 7 times per 19 years.

* Because < math > N < M </ math >, every file of length keeps its size during compression.

Because spin projections vary in increments of 1 ( that is 1 ħ ), a single quark has a spin vector of length, and has two spin projections ( S < sub > z </ sub > = + and S < sub > z </ sub > = −).

Because pole stiffness and length are important factors to a vaulter's performance, it is not uncommon for an elite vaulter to carry as many as 10 poles to a competition.

Because of a property of compression within the tube, the length must be a little shorter to correct flat pitch.

Because of its length the firangi is usually regarded as primarily a cavalry weapon.

Because of their length, short stories may or may not follow this pattern.

Because of the way addresses are handled, a version 3 story file can be up to 128K in length, a version 5 story can be up to 256K in length, and a version 8 story can be up to 512k in length.

Because of limitations of the transmitter the maximum useful data length was about 30 bits.

Because the check value has a fixed length, the function that generates it is occasionally used as a hash function.

:" Because highly fit schemata of low defining length and low order play such an important role in the action of genetic algorithms, we have already given them a special name: building blocks.

Because each frame of a T1 is 193 bits in length ( 24 channels × 8 bits per channel + 1 framing bit

Because a levee is only as strong as its weakest point, the height and standards of construction have to be consistent along its length.

Because of strict limits on the length of articles, often the printed text is actually a summary of the work in question with many details relegated to accompanying supplementary material on the journal's website.

Because of the unusual length of the play ( over three hours ), prior to the opening a matinee company was also hired that performed twice a week and featured Kate Reid as Martha, Shepperd Strudwick as George, Avra Petrides as Honey and Bill Berger as Nick.

Because of its length ( 75 to 105 cm ) the instrument was generally made with a double curve, having the finger-holes on the inside facet of the lower bend ; thus in playing position the bell points downwards to the front, not outwards to the side as in the treble.

Because of the reduction in the barrel length, the overall " reach " of the new short rifles with attached bayonet was reduced.

Because the actual bond stress varies along the length of a bar anchored in a zone of tension, current international codes of specifications use the concept of development length rather than bond stress.

Because of economic contraction ( the economy declined by about 2 % in 2004 and 2005 and lost another 1. 4 % in 2006 according to the International Monetary Fund ) the country was moving downwards in terms of per capita income.

Because of this, the craft was designated Vega, a contraction of " Venera " and " Gallei " ( Russian words for " Venus " and " Halley ", respectively ).

* Double-A: Because of continued contraction, the Texas and Southern leagues merged into an umbrella circuit, the Dixie Association, in 1971.

Because it is a hereditary disorder, there is nothing an individual can do to prevent contraction of the disease.

Because of Robotech's unaltered reuse of footage from The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, distinctive signage reading " Robotech Defense Force " or " RDF " never appears in the show, instead reading " UN Spacy " ( the fictional military force depicted in Macross ; the term " Spacy " is an extrapolation of the terms ' Army ' and Navy ' - though some Japanese sources also use the term ' Space Army ' and some English-language sources use the term ' Space Navy ,' suggesting that the term is a contraction ).

Because greater EDVs cause greater distention of the ventricle, EDV is often used synonymously with preload, which refers to the length of the sarcomeres in cardiac muscle prior to contraction ( systole ).

Because of the Frank – Starling law, the next ventricular contraction will be more forceful, causing the ejection of the larger than normal volume of blood, and bringing the LV end-systolic volume back to baseline.

Because there is little if any effective contraction of the atria there is stasis ( pooling ) of blood in the atria.

Because nuclear reactions were unknown, the main candidate for the source of solar energy was gravitational contraction.

Because these low-toned muscles do not fully contract before they again relax ( muscle accommodates to the stimulus and so shuts down again ), they remain loose and very stretchy, never realizing their full potential of maintaining a muscle contraction over time.

Because of the severe economic contraction, the reduction of purchasing goods, employers couldn ’ t afford to keep excessive workers.

Because most if not all stars form clustered, star clusters are to be viewed the fundamental building blocks of galaxies.

Because most of the galaxies in this group are actually weakly graviationally bound, the group may also be described as a filament.

Because light takes billions of years to reach Earth from very distant galaxies, we see them as they were billions of years ago ; thus, extending the scope of such research to increasingly distant galaxies allows a better understanding of how they evolve.

Because the wavelengths at which the images were taken do not correspond to the wavelengths of red, green and blue light, the colours in the final image only give an approximate representation of the actual colours of the galaxies in the image ; the choice of filters for the HDF ( and the majority of Hubble images ) was primarily designed to maximize the scientific utility of the observations rather than to create colours corresponding to what the human eye would actually perceive.

Because of this location along the line of our galaxy, many clusters and nebulae are found within its borders, but they are dim and there are few galaxies.

Because of their extreme masses they have relatively short lifespans and are mainly observed in young cosmic structures such as open clusters, the arms of spiral galaxies, and in irregular galaxies.

Because light from hydrogen atoms in distant galaxies may reach the earth after having traveled across space for billions of years, in effect one can do such observations covering periods of time almost all the way back to the Big Bang, and they showed that the laws of physics had always been the same.

Because of their ill-defined spiral arms, if they are inclined face-on it is often difficult to distinguish between them and elliptical galaxies.

Because mirror matter is analogous to ordinary matter, it is then to be expected that a fraction of the mirror matter exists in the form of mirror galaxies, mirror stars, mirror planets etc.

Because of the gravitational effect it exerts on stars and galaxies, scientists know that approximately 80 % of the matter in the universe is dark matter.

Because gravity is comparatively weak compared to other fundamental forces, gravitational collapse is usually associated with very massive bodies or collections of bodies, such as stars ( including collapsed stars such as supernovae, neutron stars and black holes ) and massive collections of stars such as globular clusters and galaxies.

Because radio galaxies are so bright, astronomers have used them to probe extreme distances and early times in the evolution of the universe.

Because of the extremely large amounts of dark matter in these objects, they may deserve the title " most dark matter-dominated galaxies "

Because they were all destroyed in supernovae in the early universe, Population III stars should only be seen in faraway galaxies whose light originated much earlier in the history of the universe, and searching for these stars or establishing their nonexistence ( thereby invalidating the current model ) is an active area of research in astronomy.

Because such groups contain four to eight galaxies in a very small region, they are excellent laboratories for the study of galactic interactions and their effects, in particular on the formation of stars.
