Because of the very faint luminosity of this galaxy, its exact distance was not measured for several years.

Because he did a midwifery medical course in Plymouth, he was not able to be a member of the cast of ISIRTA during the third season, due to the enormous distance between London and Plymouth which prevented Graeme from being able to travel to London to record ISIRTA during that period.

Because of the longer distance, regulations require two drivers per car for this race.

Because French was a language acquired at school and university, Huston found that the combination of her eventual command of the language and her distance from it as a non-native speaker helped her to find her literary voice.

Because of the much greater distance they must travel before discharging, positive lightning strikes typically carry six to ten times the charge and voltage difference of a negative bolt and last around ten times longer.

Because of Mobutu's poor human rights record, the Carter Administration put some distance between itself and the Kinshasa government ; even so, Zaire received nearly half the foreign aid Carter allocated sub-Saharan Africa.

Because amplitude varies directly with sound pressure ( A = k < sub > 1 </ sub > P ) and sound pressure varies directly with distance ( P = k < sub > 2 </ sub > d ), such that amplitude also varies directly with distance ( A = k < sub > 1 </ sub >( k < sub > 2 </ sub > d ) = k < sub > 1 </ sub > k < sub > 2 </ sub > d ), the amplitude of the sound as perceived by the listener will be greatest when the speaker is at the point in its rotation closest to the listener and least when the speaker is farthest away.

Because leaders are held responsible for their followers ' ability to achieve the organization's goals, their ability to motivate their followers is a critical factor of leadership effectiveness.

Because speed is such an important factor of the approach, it is not surprising that many long jumpers also compete successfully in sprints.

Because they can exhaust available system memory as an application runs, memory leaks are often the cause of or a contributing factor to software aging.

Because of the broad range of expressions of romantic nationalism, it is listed as a contributing factor from everything from the creation of independent states in Europe, to the rise of Nazi Germany.

Because stamina is a relevant factor, arbitrary delays are not permitted.

Because high frequency signals can flow to earth through capacitance, capacitance to ground is an important factor in effectiveness of signal grounds.

Because of the costs of larger equipment and wasted energy, electrical utilities will usually charge a higher cost to industrial or commercial customers where there is a low power factor.

Because the vitamin activity was first identified in 1936 from a dietary fertility factor in rats, it was given the name " tocopherol " from the Greek words " τόκος ", and " φέρειν ", bear or carry meaning in sum " to carry a pregnancy ," with the ending "- ol " signifying its status as a chemical alcohol.

Note: Because the refresh rate has been slowed down by a factor of three, and the resolution is less than half that of typical interlaced video, the flicker in the simulated interlaced portions and also the visibility of the black lines in this image are exaggerated.

Because time is such an essential factor in emergency treatment, EDs typically have their own diagnostic equipment to avoid waiting for equipment installed elsewhere in the hospital.

* Because pantyhose are tight ( thereby causing pressure on the opening of the urethra ), and non-absorbent, they have been implicated as a contributing factor in urinary tract infections.

Because a pattern of micromanagement suggests to employees that a manager does not trust their work or judgment, it is a major factor in triggering employee disengagement, often to the point of promoting a dysfunctional and hostile work environment in which one or more managers, or even management generally, are labeled " control freaks.

Because there is little to choose between brands, price is the main competing factor.

Because of this redshift factor, the affine parameter terminates at a finite value after infinitely many revolutions because the geometric series converges.

Because of the lack of runways and the perceived safety factor over water, many commercial airlines including Imperial Airways ( fore-runner of BOAC ), and Pan-American World Airways used large flying boats to provide service for long distance service across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.

* Parasitic inductance: Because the actual overvoltage switching is so fast, the package inductance is the limiting factor for response speed.

Because the business card form factor has such a small capacity the Linuxcare developers chose to use a compressed filesystem.

Because they lack leading and trailing wheels, locomotives of this type have all their weight pressing down on their driving wheels and consequently have a high tractive effort and factor of adhesion, making them comparatively strong engines for their size, weight and fuel consumption.

Because m is powerful, each prime factor with an odd exponent has an exponent that is at least 3, so m / b < sup > 3 </ sup > is an integer.

* Because of the higher crop factor, an image shot at a given relative aperture and angle of view has more depth of field on Four Thirds.

Because of this, Bears president Michael McCaskey considered relocation as a possible factor for a new stadium.

Because of extremely calm seas which created a suction effect on their pontoons, Wright's cruiser floatplanes were delayed in lifting off from Tulagi harbor, and would not be a factor in the battle.

Because of safety and ventilation issues, this tunnel is a limiting factor on how many trains the railroad can operate over this route from Seattle to Spokane.

Because failure to implement an effective export compliance program can be an exacerbating factor in the event of a breach of ITAR, the U. S. Government encourages U. S. exporters to implement internal export compliance programs.
