Because polyethylene was found to have very low-loss properties at very high frequency radio waves, commercial distribution in Britain was suspended on the outbreak of World War II, secrecy imposed and the new process was used to produce insulation for UHF and SHF coaxial cables of radar sets.

Because wetsuits offer significant protection from jellyfish, coral, sunburn and other hazards, many divers opt to wear a thin suit which provides minimal insulation ( often called a " bodysuit ") even when the water is warm enough to comfortably forego insulating garments.

Because the only sub-ambient temperature zone now is at the interface with the heat-generating component itself, insulation is required only in that localized area.

Because this did not turn out to be a problem and to reduce weight, Lockheed Martin ceased painting the external tanks beginning with STS-3, leaving the rust-colored spray-on insulation bare, saving approximately of weight.

Because of the air trapped in the insulation, this effort failed, and the canister was eventually rigged with plastic explosives to destroy it ( this was not part of the plan, and Jewell did not mention it until the age of 77, in 1991 ).

* Because of the high resistance to heat flow ( high R-value insulation ), there are no " outside walls " which are colder than other walls.

Because it also provides part of the electrical insulation between internal live parts, transformer oil must remain stable at high temperatures for an extended period.

Because of the power required to run the heater, OCXOs require more power than oscillators that run at ambient temperature, and the requirement for the heater, thermal mass, and thermal insulation means that they are physically larger.

Because the rake angle Af at the tip of the knife is very much smaller ( or even negative ) when compared to the value of **yc for the major portion of the knife, a very rapid increase in cutting force with thickness will result.

Because the food is selected with thought for its nutritional value, care for its origin, and prepared in a manner that retains the most nutrients, the food does taste good.

Because of this keyword stropping, it was possible for AA to allow spaces in variable names, such as < code >< u > integer </ u > previous value </ code >.

Because of its size, the value of grazing and mining is considerable.

Because the remit of the Convention covers millions of species of plants and animals, and tens of thousands of these taxa are potentially of economic value, in practice this negative list approach effectively forces CITES signatories to expend limited resources on just a select few, leaving many species to be traded with neither constraint nor review.

Because some materials have both useful mineral content and recoverable calorific value, the distinction between alternative fuels and raw materials is not always clear.

Because of the immediacy of the information, historians tend to value live chronicles, such as annals, over dead ones.

Because Capra's films often carry a message about basic goodness in human nature, and show the value of unselfishness and hard work, his wholesome, feel-good themes have led some to term his style " Capra-corn.

Because rapidly rising prices undermine the role of money as a store of value, people try to spend it on real goods or services as quickly as possible.

Because entropy can be conditioned on a random variable or on that random variable being a certain value, care should be taken not to confuse these two definitions of conditional entropy, the former of which is in more common use.

Because of the network effect, new IM users gained much more value by choosing to use the Mirabilis system ( and join its large network of users ) than they would using a competing system.

Because Prolog allows impure predicates, checking the truth value of certain special predicates may have some deliberate side effect, such as printing a value to the screen.

Because the theory is ' sick ' for any negative value of the coupling constant, the series do not converge, but are an asymptotic series.

Because the truth-value of the proposition doesn't depend on the value of the variable, the variable is called bound.

Because HTSC wire has lower ( J < sub > c </ sub >) value than LTSC wire, it will take much more wire to create the same inductance.

Because it allows for community standards and demands " serious " value, Justice Douglas worried in his dissent that this test would make it easier to suppress speech and expression.

Because the western end of Lake Erie offered the shortest overland route to the frontiers of Indiana and Illinois, Maumee Harbor was seen as a site of immediate importance and great value.

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

Because it is the only source for the history of twelfth-century Jerusalem written by a native, historians have often assumed that William's statements could be taken at face value.

Because the logarithm is a monotonically increasing function, the logarithm of a function achieves its maximum value at the same points as the function itself, and hence the log-likelihood can be used in place of the likelihood in maximum likelihood estimation and related techniques.

Because these regimes influence and are influenced by the organization of both social and economic capital, the analysis of dimensions lacking a standard economic value ( e. g., the political economy of language, of gender, of religion ) often draw on the concepts used in Marxian critiques of capital.

Because of the high value that spices had in Europe and the large profits rendered, combined with Portugal's growing internal problems, the Dutch and British joined in the conflicts around 1600, to try to gain a monopoly over the trade and expel Portugal.
