Because agricultural activities are seasonal and the areas of production and harvest of many foods are widely scattered geographically, and because of the high cost of transporting bulk food items any substantial distance to a central processing location, the use of large central processing stations, where low-cost radiation facilities approaching the megawatt range might be utilized, is inherently impracticable.

Because such waves conserve the amount of energy they transmit through any spherical boundary surface drawn around their source, and because such surfaces have an area that is defined by the square of the distance from the source, the power of EM radiation always varies according to an inverse-square law.

Because the stars in an open cluster are all at roughly the same distance from Earth, and were born at roughly the same time from the same raw material, the differences in apparent brightness among cluster members is due only to their mass.

Because of the size of Olympus Mons and its shallow slopes, an observer standing on the Martian surface would be unable to view the entire profile of the volcano, even from a great distance.

Because radiation radiates through space and its energy is conserved in vacuum, the power of all types of radiation follows an inverse-square law of power with regard to distance from its source.

Because the pointer of the meter is usually a small distance above the scale of the meter, parallax error can occur when the operator attempts to read the scale line that " lines up " with the pointer.

Because the position of the exit pupil usually is unknown to the user of a lens, the rear conjugate focal distance is used instead ; the resultant theoretical error so introduced is insignificant with most types of photographic lenses.

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 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 the distance factor, California played a minor role in the American Civil War.

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 the summer was unusually dry and hot, the spring produced a smaller stream than in ordinary years.

Because he couldn't hear them, he was more convinced they were there.

Because of the political upheaval in Germany in the 1930's, Steinberg was forced to restrict his activities to the Jewish community.

Because of the falling characteristic of the rectifier, no ballast resistor was required for stability of operation.

Because negative pressure dialysis gave better recovery of proteins, permitted detection of proteins concentrated from very dilute solutions and was a gentler procedure, it was used in all but the earliest experiments.

Because of increasing anemia, triamcinolone, 8 mg. daily, was started on Feb. 23, 1958, and was continued until July, 1958.

Because of this he was known as Gimpy ( but, as with Capone and his nickname of Scarface, never in his presence ).

Because of this diversionary attack the main group that had been pinned down on the hill was able to surge forward again.

Because Don was leaving the next day, I spent the evening with him at Asia Center.

Because, if for no other reason, Willings would never for a moment suppose he was not bigger, tougher, than anything else that went on two legs.

Because his mind had been otherwise occupied for the past couple of hours, he did not think to look and see if Jerry Burton's car was still there.

-- 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 he copiously shed his own tears, and yielded himself up as a living sacrifice to the impersonalized conscience of New England, he was not disturbed by the havoc he worked in other people's consciences.

Because your soul was made to be filled with God Himself, not religious functions `` about '' Him.

Because constitutional claims are of great magnitude, appellate courts might be more lenient to review the claim even if it was not preserved.

Because the series was at stake, the match was to be " timeless ", i. e., played to a finish.

Because of her beauty, other gods feared that jealousy would interrupt the peace among them and lead to war, and so Zeus married her to Hephaestus, who was not viewed as a threat.

Because virtually all extant written material on Arianism was written by its opponents, the nature of Arian teachings is difficult to define precisely today.

Because of this, Octavius was raised by his grandmother ( and Julius Caesar's sister ), Julia Caesaris.

Because in early Anglo-Latin writing, paterfamilias (" head of a family, householder ") usually referred to a ceorl, Donald A. Bullough suggests that Alcuin's family was of cierlisc status: i. e., free but subordinate to a noble lord, and that Alcuin and other members of his family rose to prominence through beneficial connections with the aristocracy.

Because Albert was a member of the Brandenburg-Ansbach branch of the House of Hohenzollern, it had been hoped that his election as Grand Master would reverse the decline of the Teutonic Knights since 1410 ; Duke Frederick of Saxony of the House of Wettin had been elected for the same reason.
