Because of their relatively large mass, + 2 electric charge and relatively low velocity, alpha particles are very likely to interact with other atoms and lose their energy, so their forward motion is effectively stopped within a few centimeters of air.

Because temperature is defined by the relationship between energy and entropy, such a system's temperature becomes negative, even though energy is being added.

Because the FLRW metric assumes a uniform distribution of mass and energy, it applies to our Universe only on large scales — local concentrations of matter such as our galaxy are gravitationally bound and as such do not experience the large-scale expansion of space.

Because the pairing increases this energy barrier, kicks from oscillating atoms in the conductor ( which are small at sufficiently low temperatures ) are not enough to affect the condensate as a whole, or any individual " member pair " within the condensate.

Because of energy loss fluctuations, accurate measurement of the energy deposited is of less use.

Because of energy conservation, only the states with the same energy as the initial condition are accessible.

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 cold is the absence of heat, Iceman does not actually ' emanate ' cold ; rather, he decreases thermal energy.

Because they function as an energy store, these lipids comprise the bulk of storage fat in animal tissues.

Because the muon is a lepton, the atomic energy levels of muonium can be calculated with great precision from quantum electrodynamics ( QED ), unlike the case of hydrogen, where the precision is limited by uncertainies related to the internal structure of the proton.

Because mania frequently encourages high energy and decreased perception of need or ability to sleep, within a few days of a manic cycle, sleep-deprived psychosis may appear, further complicating the ability to think clearly.

Because it requires no battery or other source of energy, the magneto is a compact and reliable self-contained ignition system, which is why it remains in use in many general aviation applications.

Because the nuclear force is stronger than the Coulomb force for atomic nuclei smaller than iron and nickel, building up these nuclei from lighter nuclei by fusion releases the extra energy from the net attraction of these particles.

Because of the low first ionization energy ( 418. 8 kJ / mol ) the potassium atom easily loses an electron and oxidizes into the monopositive cation, K < sup >+</ sup >.

Because water and most liquids are nearly incompressible, almost all of the available energy is extracted in the first stage of the hydraulic turbine.

Because of these involvements in the matter at stake, Boniface lacked the impartiality that is supposed to be an essential qualification for the position of arbiter, and in retrospect that would seem to be sufficient reason why the English embassies to the Curia proved so fruitless.

Because of this centrist position, and despite their rejection of Arius, they were called " semi-Arians " by their opponents.

Because the position of Stigand, the archbishop of Canterbury, was irregular, Wulfstan sought and received consecration as a bishop from Ealdred.

Because it is a part-time position, all able members are expected to assist in the management of the ward by holding delegated lay positions ( for example, women's and youth leaders, teachers ) referred to as ' callings.

Because of the development of themes in the book of Malachi, most scholars assign it to a position between Haggai and Zechariah, slightly before Nehemiah came to Jerusalem in 445 BCE.

Because this position is traditionally filled by the wife of the president of the United States, the title is most often applied to the wife of a sitting president.

Because of the vulnerability of a player in such a position, the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) and the National Federation of State High School Associations (" Fed ") have adopted rules providing that if a player is positioned at least 7 yards behind the neutral zone to receive a snap, opponents are not to deliberately contact the snapper until one second after the snap ( NCAA ), or until the snapper has a chance to react ( Fed ).

Because of the controversy surrounding Palmerston's removal as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs because of his letter to the French ambassador endorsing Louis Bonaparte's 2 December 1851 coup, Palmerston could not now be appointed Foreign Minister again so soon after his removal from the same position.

Because of the weak international position and its labor policies ( most peasants lived through a subsistence economy ), Pétion's government was perpetually on the brink of bankruptcy.

Because of its strategic position, Harwich was the target for the invasion of Britain by William of Orange on November 11, 1688.

Because the position of Kajang between three major city ( Kuala Lumpur, Seremban and Putrajaya ), this city is included in Klang Valley or Greater Kuala Lumpur.

Because the body is placed in a low position in the kowtow, the idea is that one will naturally convert to his or her mind a feeling of respect.

Because of this favored position, the US asked the Baring firm to handle the transaction.

Because a client was beholden to his patron for his position, the client was eager to please his patron by carrying out his policies.

Because of their position between the two main systems of law, these types of legal systems are sometimes referred to as " mixed " systems of law.

Because players act in clockwise order, a player " has position " on opponents seated to his right, except when the opponent has the button and certain cases in the first betting round of games with blinds.

Because of its position in the periodic table, polonium is sometimes referred to as a metalloid, however others note that on the basis of its properties and behavior it is " unambiguously a metal ".

Because the two scans can be performed in immediate sequence during the same session, with the patient not changing position between the two types of scans, the two sets of images are more-precisely registered, so that areas of abnormality on the PET imaging can be more perfectly correlated with anatomy on the CT images.

Because fossils identifiable as P. sternbergi are found exclusively in the lower layers of the Niobrara Formation, and P. longiceps fossils exclusively in the upper layers, a fossil lacking the skull can be identified based on its position in the geologic column ( though for many early fossil finds, precise data about its location was not recorded, rendering many fossils unidentifiable ).

Because of this and his earlier support for De Gaulle he became Governor General of the Afrique Equatoriale Française ( AEF ) in 1940, the first not white to achieve this position in French colonial history.

Because of its position on the southeastern portion of the European continent, Romania has a climate that is transitional between temperate and continental.

Because the new fortresses could easily hold 10, 000 men, an attacking army could not ignore a powerfully fortified position without serious risk of counterattack.

Because such duties were often shared with that of the sysadmin prior to the advent of the world wide web, the term sysop is often used more generally to refer to an administrator or moderator, such as a forum administrator, hence the term sysadmin is technically used to distinguish the professional position of a network operator.

Because, this position on the bottom scale gives, the product of and.

Because it does not take a political position regarding devolution to a strictly defined territory, the Wessex Society can afford to assume a relaxed position about where exactly the boundaries of cultural Wessex lie.
