Because trichotillomania can be present in multiple age groups, it is helpful in terms of prognosis and treatment to approach three distinct subgroups by age: preschool age children, preadolescents to young adults, and adults.

Because the skeletal system does not reach full maturity until the horse is at least four years of age, young racehorses often suffer multiple injuries.

Because analog channels took up an entire transponder on the satellite, and each satellite had a fixed number of transponders, dishes were usually equipped with a polar mount and actuator to sweep the dish across the horizon to receive channels from multiple satellites.

Because IVFs are producing more multiples, a number of efforts are being made to reduce the risk of multiple births-specifically triplets or more.

Because of this, multiple events took place, including the drafting of the Lecompton Constitution admitting Kansas as a slave state, the sacking of Lawrence, and the Battle of Black Jack.

Because the vast majority of daguerreotypes are simple, straightforward studio portraits of ordinary people, normally it is some unusual feature which elevates the value to a multiple of the average.

Because of this proliferation of remote controls, universal remote controls that manage multiple devices are becoming increasingly popular.

Because of the time needed to reload ( even experts needed 15 seconds to reload a smooth-bore, muzzle-loading musket ), flintlocks were sometimes produced with two, three, four or more barrels for multiple shots.

Because the placebo response is simply the patient response that cannot be attributed to an investigational intervention, there are multiple possible components of a measured placebo effect.

Because the Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year.

Because the Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year.

Because they were obtained at low to moderate Sun angles, the Lunar Orbiter photographic mosaics are particularly useful for studying the morphology of lunar topographic features.

Because the light must strike the boundary with an angle greater than the critical angle, only light that enters the fiber within a certain range of angles will be propagated.

Because the square is made up of right angles, the vanishing point should be directly in the middle of the horizon line.

Because closed strings do not have to be attached to D-branes, gravitational effects could depend upon the extra dimensions at right angles to the brane.

Because the real aperture of the RADAR antenna is so small ( compared to the wavelength in use ), the RADAR energy spreads over a wide area ( usually many degrees wide in a direction orthogonal ( at right angles ) to the direction of the platform ( aircraft ).

Because the Sun, Moon, planets, and primary angles in the sky are constantly in motion relative to the earth, as each second passes the natal chart / astrological chart is changing ( albeit slowly ) and a new chart is created for every moment at each location.

Because of their relationship with the angles of time, they can materialize through any corner if it is fairly sharp — 120 ° or less.

Because of this separate development, the Mount Pleasant street grid is distinct from Washington's cartesian grid and now that the two are part of a single urban fabric, some of its streets appear to have been laid out haphazardly, with several intersecting city streets at odd or severe angles to the greater design.

Because the mechanism has one degree-of-freedom, there is a single generalized coordinate q that defines the angles θ < sub > A </ sub >( q ) and θ < sub > B </ sub >( q ) of the input and output of the system.

Because none of the interior walls make right angles, Stiles ' dorm rooms are furnished with built-in desks and bookshelves.

Because noble gas atoms have a relatively high first ionization energy and the electrons do not carry enough energy to cause excited electronic states, ionization and excitation of the atom are unlikely, and the probability of elastic scattering over all angles is approximately equal to the probability of collision.

:" Because the proofs which we shall use in almost the entire work deal with straight lines and arcs, with plane and spherical triangles and because Euclid's Elements, although they clear up much of this, do not have what is here most required, namely, how to find the sides from angles and the angles from the sides ... there has accordingly been found a method whereby the lines subtending any arc may be known.

Because angles, solid angles, and refractive indices are dimensionless quantities, etendue has units of area ( given by dS ).

Because the sides AB and BC of triangle ABC are respectively a tangent and a radius of the semicircle, they are at right angles to each other and ABC is also a right triangle ; it has the same hypotenuse as ACD and the same side lengths BC = CD, so again it is congruent to the other two triangles, showing that the three angles formed at the apex are equal.

Because of its bold, strong strokes and sharp square angles, Microgramma was soon appropriated for use in science fiction and fantasy stories depicting advanced technology and space exploration.

Because of this Ray had to be careful about what camera angles he used to film Mukherjee.

Because of the size and angles of the wound, its likely that they were obtained in a fight with another Herrerasaurus.

Because of the smaller bond angles, the bonds have higher energy and adopt more p-character to reduce the energy of the bonds.

Because of the street grid, the tower features no right angles in its parallelogram footprint.
