Because many of the suggested distinguishing features of humanity — extreme intelligence ; highly complex language ; etc .— are not present in marginal cases such as young or mentally disabled humans, it appears that the only distinction is a prejudice based on species alone, which animal-rights supporters call speciesism — that is, differentiating humans from other animals purely on the grounds that they are human.

Because of their extreme masses they have short lifespans of 30 million years down to a few hundred thousand years ( by the calculation M < sup >- 2. 5 </ sup > × 10 < sup > 10 </ sup > where M = mass in sols ).

Because all the aspects in a Grand Cross are considered difficult aspects, the Grand Cross is seen as a source of extreme tension whereby various aspects of the personality ( represented by the planets ) are working at cross purposes that serve to nullify each other.

Because of the extreme nature of the planetoid, just about any aspect it makes is going to be considered hard because it forces the native to look closely at his life, make appropriate changes, or risk losing that which is important to him.

Because of their extremely steep terrain ( often located in summer at ski resorts ), downhill courses are one of the most extreme and dangerous venues for mountain biking.

Because of this he can survive moments of extreme duress, and demonstrated this ability on numerous occasions ; once by falling 4000 feet, crashing through the concrete into a subway tunnel and subsequently being hit by an oncoming train, surviving without incident (" Evil Sits Down for a Moment ," November 4, 1995 ).

Because the ceramic is so brittle the entrance channel of a shaped charge jet is not smooth — as it would be when penetrating a metal — but ragged, causing extreme asymmetric pressures which disturb the geometry of the jet, on which its penetrative capabilities are critically dependent as its mass is relatively low.

Because of decreased demand, most extreme paper grades are now discontinued, and the few graded ranges still available include only middle contrast grades.

Because so many species within this genus are so deadly toxic, if a specimen is identified incorrectly, consumption may cause extreme sickness and possibly death.

Because of the extreme hardiness of the species, it is sometimes the only species found in severely polluted and oxygen-deprived streams, such as the Elizabeth River in Virginia, and the Hackensack River and the Arthur Kill in New Jersey during the height of the water pollution problem in the United States.

Because of the extreme nature of many of these wounds and the grafting and debridement that accompanies such a treatment, a burn center's wound clinic, which has staff trained in such wounds, may be utilized.

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 of the extreme cost, lackluster pay, fame and prestige that surrounded the hussars, almost all of them were members of the upper level nobility ( szlachta ).

" Because of this perspective of realism and aliveness, Lee utilized safety gear from various other contact sports to allow him to spar with opponents " full out ".

Because of the strict behavior expected from a working dog when it is on duty, many owners will usually not permit people to pet the animal, or be reluctant to remove gear on request ( such as for security inspections.

Because an old chain is longer than needed, its links will not precisely fit the spaces between teeth in the drivetrain, making gear shifts a problem and possibly resulting in a ' skipping ' chain that reduces power transfer and makes pedalling very uncomfortable.

Because bottom trawling involves towing heavy fishing gear over the seabed, it can cause large-scale destruction on the ocean bottom, including coral shattering, damage to habitats and removal of seaweed.

Because of the gear and / or experience advantage, twinks often easily overpowered new and low level players, quickly eliminating them from play.

Because the ratchet's gear and pawl mechanism, as described above, permitted the axle to rotate only in one direction, random collisions with the moving beads caused the vane to rotate.

Because this vertical orientation could have resulted in the car dropping out of gear when the lever was in the upper positions ( i. e., second or reverse gears ), the gear shift mechanism was locked when the mechanical clutch was engaged and released when the clutch pedal was depressed.

Because the system does not have separate gears, but one ( continuously shifting ) gear and a separate ' reverse mode ' ( as opposed to a reverse gear ), the gear works in reverse as well, giving it the interesting side effect that one can drive backwards as fast as forwards.

Because of the small space, they typically offer fewer different speeds, although at least one has reached 14 gear ratios and Fallbrook Technologies manufactures a transmission with technically infinite ratios.

Because manual transmissions require the operation of an extra pedal, and keeping the car in the correct gear at all times, they require a bit more concentration, especially in heavy traffic situations.

: Because of pitch rotation at take off, propeller diameter may have to be reduced ( with a loss of efficiency ) and / or landing gear made longer and heavier.

Because of the ease of operating tricycle gear aircraft on the ground, the configuration is the most widely used on aircraft.

In order to master Drag mode, players must employ good timing and reflexes for gear shifting, redlining, overtaking, and the use of nitrous oxide boosts ; Because the player is going to put the engine to its limits the mode places particular emphasis in monitoring the tachometer during races, which is enlarged and situated on the leftmost portion of the screen.

Because intake and exhaust gases pass through the same corridor between the block and head, and because the light valve gear allows the valves to open and close quickly, flatheads are designed with minimal valve overlap ( where both intake and exhaust valves are simultaneously open ).

Because it was based on the X transmissions, its gear ratios from 1-3 were the same, with the fourth being. 67: 1.
