Because of known structural results on G, it is enough to deal with the case where G is the additive group Z < sub > p </ sub > of p-adic integers, for some prime number p. An equivalent form of the conjecture is that Z < sub > p </ sub > has no faithful group action on a topological manifold.

Because web browsers have historically treated HTML syntax or structural errors leniently, there has been little pressure for web developers to follow published standards, and therefore there is a need for all browser implementations be able to treat what looks like HTML as " tag soup ", accepting and correcting for invalid syntax and structure.

Because of differences in the quantity and quality of information available about the performance of individual employees, the ability of employees to bear risk, and the ability of employees to manipulate evaluation methods, the structural details of individual contracts vary widely, including such mechanisms as “ piece rates, options, discretionary bonuses, promotions, profit sharing, efficiency wages, deferred compensation, and so on .” Typically, these mechanisms are used in the context of different types of employment: salespeople often receive some or all of their remuneration as commission, production workers are usually paid an hourly wage, while office workers are typically paid monthly or semimonthly ( and if paid overtime, typically at a higher rate than the hourly rate implied by the salary ).

Because those lack structural interpretation ability, the preprocessing steps face a feature selection problem ( i. e., which structural features should be interpreted to determine the structure-activity relationship ).

Because the responsibility for resolving the issue lay with the President, rather than with his doctors, nothing raises more surely for us the difficulties simple goodness faces in dealing with complex moral problems under political pressure.

Because of the medical problems that can be caused by withdrawal, alcohol detoxification is carefully controlled and may involve medications such as benzodiazepines such as diazepam ( Valium ).

Because of this, the United States Air Force XB-70 Valkyrie program was cancelled in the early 1960s ; the later B-1B Lancer and B-2 Spirit aircraft entered service only after protracted political and development problems.

Because of these problems, various standardized tests, often called " benchmarks " for this purpose — such as SPECint – have been developed to attempt to measure the real effective performance in commonly used applications.

Because many outstanding problems in number theory, such as Goldbach's conjecture are equivalent to solving the halting problem for special programs ( which would basically search for counter-examples and halt if one is found ), knowing enough bits of Chaitin's constant would also imply knowing the answer to these problems.

Because different writing systems require different parts of the brain to process the visual notation of speech, children with reading problems in one language might not have a reading problem in a language with a different orthography.

Because hyperthyroidism, especially Graves ’ disease, may run in families, examinations of the members of a family may reveal other individuals with thyroid problems.

Because of the controversial format and content of the show, distributor MCA Television had problems selling the show to a number of stations and advertisers.

Because of these problems, researchers created standardized tests such as SPECint to attempt to measure the real effective performance in commonly used applications, and raw IPS has fallen into disuse.

Because the game models ( and exposes conceptual questions about ) a legal system and the problems of legal interpretation, it is named after (), Greek for " law ".

Because a modeling language is visual and at a higher-level of abstraction than code, using models encourages the generation of a shared vision that may prevent problems of differing interpretation later in development.

Because many members of religious traditions believe in things that exist in profoundly different ways from more everyday things, objects of religious belief both create particular philosophical problems and define central metaphysical concepts.

Because of these various positive and negative connotations, some periods are luckier than others regarding their names, although this can lead to problems such as the ones outlined above.

Because the original aluminum Frying Pans were susceptible to tuning problems from the expansion of the metal under hot performing lights, many of the new models were manufactured from cast Bakelite, an early synthetic plastic from which bowling balls are made.

Because both ends of the RS-232 circuit depend on the ground pin being zero volts, problems will occur when connecting machinery and computers where the voltage between the ground pin on one end, and the ground pin on the other is not zero.

Because of his health problems, Jordan did not work at full force on the final installment A Memory of Light ( later split into three volumes beginning with The Gathering Storm ), but blog entries confirmed that he continued work on it until his death, and he shared all of the significant plot details with his family not long before he died.

Because of leakage problems, a new water-tight tunnel was built inside the old one, from 1992 to 1995.

Because of technical problems with the thrust reverser sensors during the landing of TWA 881 at JFK, prior to flight 800 the ground-maintenance crew locked-out the thrust reverser for engine # 3 ( treated as a minimum equipment list item ).

Because designers of WYSIWYG applications typically have to account for a variety of different output devices, each of which has different capabilities, there are a number of problems that must be solved in each implementation.

Because the token stayed within the hub, it did not have to traverse long cables going to every node as in ARCNET and Token Ring therefore becoming faster than those other deterministic networking standards and being less susceptible to cabling problems, network card failures, and line interference.

Because the system was so advanced, the development of the Shillelagh was fraught with problems.

Because the equation is second order in the time derivative, then by the nature of solving differential equations, one must specify both the initial values of the wave function itself and of its first time derivative, in order to solve definite problems.
