Because of this, it would appear inevitable that an increasing percentage of strategic missiles will seek self-protection in mobility -- at least until missile defenses are perfected which have an exceedingly high kill probability.

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 oxygen concentration in the water increases at both low temperatures and high flow rates, aquatic amphibians in these situations can rely primarily on cutaneous respiration, as in the Titicaca water frog and the hellbender salamander.

Because of their high reactivity, they must be stored under oil in sealed glass ampoules to prevent reaction with air.

Because the ancients could not produce temperatures high enough to melt iron fully, the production of steel in decent quantities did not occur until the introduction of blister steel during the Middle Ages.

Because they often exhibit a combination of high strength and low weight, these alloys became widely used in many forms of industry, including the construction of modern aircraft.

Because of the tortuous terrain in places, villages and towns in the mountains — to which travel via motorized vehicles are of little use — are still located in the high Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.

Because of the high polish possible with agate it has been used for centuries for leather burnishing tools.

Because the characters were 8 x 12 pixels this meant that video resolutions of 512 x 192 pixels ( in 64x16 character mode ), or 640 x 300 pixels ( in 80x24 character mode ) were created, which was quite high for the time.

Because of Athlon's very large L1 cache and the exclusive design which turns the L2 cache into basically a " victim cache ", the need for high L2 performance and size was lessened.

Because of its high chemical reactivity barium is never found in nature as a free element.

Because such strains transfer chromosomal genes very efficiently they are called Hfr ( high frequency of recombination ).

Because bipolar disorder can have a high rate of both under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis, it is often difficult for individuals with the condition to receive timely and competent treatment.

Because of its high reactivity, the metal is classified as a hazardous material.

Because the comet's motion with respect to Jupiter was very small, it fell almost straight toward Jupiter, which is why it ended up on a Jupiter-centric orbit of very high eccentricitythat is to say, the ellipse was nearly flattened out.

Because of the low numbers of dental schools, funding for building and service developments in the schools can be very high.

Because of dysprosium's high thermal neutron absorption cross-section, dysprosium oxide-nickel cermets are used in neutron-absorbing control rods in nuclear reactors.

Because of its lipophilic properties, DDT has a high potential to bioaccumulate, especially in predatory birds.

Because of their high regard for natural law and for the idea of a universe without miracles, deists were especially susceptible to the temptations of determinism.

Because of the relatively high bit rate of uncompressed video, video compression is extensively used.

Because of the high reactivity, samples of solid europium rarely have the shiny appearance of the fresh metal, even when coated with a protective layer of mineral oil.

Because some towns in these states operate neither local high schools nor elementary schools, students in these towns " are eligible for a voucher to attend public schools in other towns or non-religious private schools.

* Because the device is never shut off completely there is no " turn on " time, little problem with charge storage, and generally better high frequency performance and feedback loop stability ( and usually fewer high-order harmonics ).

Because subwoofers are generally limited to a bandwidth of no higher than 150 Hz, the switching speed for the amplifier does not have to be as high as for a full range amplifier, and simpler designs could be utilized.

Because of very little jobs available to the teens coming out of eighth grade there was an increase in high school attendance in the 1930s.

Because the carrying capacity of a river depends in part on its depth, the sediment in the water which is over the flooded banks of the channel is no longer capable of keeping the same amount of fines in suspension as the main thalweg.

Because the county sits at the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay along the Susquehanna River, it plays a key role in controlling sediment and fertilizer runoff into the bay as well as fostering submerged aquatic vegetation ( SAV ) regrowth.

Because the sediment is laid down in this fashion, the shape of these deltas approximates a fan.

Because population turnover rates of individual taxa are much less than net rates of sediment accumulation, the biological remains of successive, noncontemporaneous populations of organisms may be admixed within a single bed, known as time-averaging.

Because these floodplains consist of sediment containing a high content of glacially ground flour-like silt and clay, they were highly susceptible to winnowing of their silts and clays by the wind.

Because the last ice age removed the top sediment layer of the soil, the Kola Peninsula is on the surface extremely rich in various ores and minerals, including apatites and nephelines ; copper, nickel, and iron ores ; mica ; kyanites ; ceramic materials, as well as rare earth elements and non-ferrous ores.

Because of the dam, sediment deposited by the Colorado and its tributaries is slowly filling up the canyon, and the most optimistic projections put the useful life of the reservoir at 300 – 700 years.

Because identical fossils can be created by a range of different organisms, trace fossils can only reliably inform us of two things: the consistency of the sediment at the time of its deposition, and the energy level of the depositional environment.

Because of its very high absorption coefficient ( Koc ), dicofol is expected to adsorb to sediment when released into open waters.

Because ash and other debris fell during varied climatic and volcanic conditions and accumulated from many eruptions extending into the early Miocene ( about 20 million years ago ), the sediment layers in the fossil beds vary in their chemical composition and color.

Because of this lack of physical mixing, as well as the absence of growing plants or crawling animals in their oxygen-depleted depths, the deep bottoms of the lakes have relatively undisturbed annual layers of sediment ( or varves ) that preserve a historical record, somewhat like tree rings do.

Because of this, sediment sinks and collects in the bottom and virtually doesn't decay.

Because of this sediment contamination, no dredging has taken place in the harbor since 1972, when the USEPA determined the previous sediment disposal method of open water disposal in Lake Michigan to be unacceptable.

Because oceans lie lower than continents, the former serve as sedimentary basins that collect sediment eroded from the continents, known as clastic sediments, as well as precipitation sediments.

Because of the high potential for sediment delivery to the Pack River, land use practices such as road building, timber harvesting, grazing, agriculture, and residential development must be carefully managed.

Because the source of the Indus River is glacial meltwater from the Himalayas, the river carries huge amounts of sediment.
