Because of this, it has been difficult to resolve just how much radiation participants were exposed to.

Because the location of a single scattering center is not usually well known relative to the path of the radiation, the outcome, which tends to depend strongly on the exact incoming trajectory, appears random to an observer.

Because of synchrotron radiation's high power, the surface of the vacuum chamber hit by synchrotron radiation must be cooled.

Because an enormous amount of energy is released in a short period of time, much of the energy is released as high energy photons in accordance with the theory of black body radiation, in this case X-rays.

Because of its temperature, the atmosphere emits infrared radiation.

Because of these different forms of interaction, the three types of radiation are suitable for different studies.

Because of this risk, radiation treatment for cancer is now planned to ensure that the maximum dosage of radiation is delivered to diseased tissue while surrounding healthy tissue is protected as much as possible.

Because the electrons are trapped essentially simultaneously, a very large electromagnetic source radiates coherently.

Because the two arms of the " T " have equal but oppositely-directed currents in them, which causes the radio waves from them to cancel far from the antenna, and because of similar cancelling ground currents, the horizontal wire radiates little radio power.

Because in early Anglo-Latin writing, paterfamilias (" head of a family, householder ") usually referred to a ceorl, Donald A. Bullough suggests that Alcuin's family was of cierlisc status: i. e., free but subordinate to a noble lord, and that Alcuin and other members of his family rose to prominence through beneficial connections with the aristocracy.

Because the P-array is 576 bits long, and the key bytes are XORed through all these 576 bits during the initialization, many implementations support key sizes up to 576 bits.

Because God ruled the universe through Love, prayer to God and the application of Love would lead to true happiness.

Because of the size exclusion, the colloidal particles are unable to pass through the pores of an ultrafiltration membrane with a size smaller than their own dimension.

Because of Henry's descent through illegitimate children barred from succession to the English throne, the Tudor monarchy was not accepted by all European kingdoms.

Because there are no plate tectonics on Venus, heat is only lost by conduction through the lithosphere.

Because compressed data must be decompressed to be used, this extra processing imposes computational or other costs through decompression, this situation is far from being a free lunch.

Because most congregations call themselves " Christian Churches ," the chalice has become a simple way to identify Disciples of Christ Churches through signage, letterhead, and other forms of publicity.

Because of the large amounts of funds that move through the Reserve Banks every day, the System has policies and procedures to limit the risk to the Reserve Banks from a depository institution's failure to make or settle its payments.

Because the capitalization was never completely consistent in actual usage, this article adopts the convention of using the all-caps FORTRAN in referring to versions of FORTRAN through FORTRAN 77 and the title-caps Fortran in referring to versions of Fortran from Fortran 90 onward.

Because rock units, other than muds, do not significantly change in volume, this is accomplished in two primary ways: through faulting and folding.

Because hemoglobin is a darker red when it is not bound to oxygen ( deoxyhemoglobin ), as opposed to the rich red color that it has when bound to oxygen ( oxyhemoglobin ), when seen through the skin it has an increased tendency to reflect blue light back to the eye.

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 this water is being forced uphill through the delivery pipe farther than it is falling downhill from the source, the flow slows ; when the flow reverses, the delivery check valve closes.

Because of Netware's popularity through the late 1980s into the mid 1990s, IPX became a popular internetworking protocol.

Because numerous small islands surround Isle Royale, ships were once guided through the area by lighthouses at Passage Island, Rock Harbor, Rock of Ages, and Isle Royale Lighthouse on Menagerie Island.

Because the Liberals were still mostly classically liberal, Diefenbaker promised to outspend the incumbent Liberals, who campaigned on plans to stay the course of fiscal conservatism they had followed through St-Laurent's term in the 1940s and 1950s.

: Because children below the age of reason did not commit actual sin, theologians came to the common view that these unbaptized children feel no pain at all or even that they enjoy a full, though only natural, happiness through their mediated union with God in all natural goods ( Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus ).

Because the chromosomes cannot be distinguished in the synaptonemal complex, the actual act of crossing over is not perceivable through the microscope, and chiasmata are not visible until the next stage.

Because the Alaouites, in contrast to previous dynasties, did not have the support of a single Berber or Bedouin tribe, Isma ' īl controlled Morocco through an army of black slaves.

Because changing ink color in a mimeograph could be a laborious process, involving extensively cleaning the machine or, on newer models, replacing the drum or rollers, and then running the paper through the machine a second time, some fanzine publishers experimented with techniques for painting several colors on the pad, notably Shelby Vick, who created a kind of plaid " Vicolor.

Because the plateau of Jebel Akhdar is porous limestone, rainfall seeps quickly through it, and the vegetation, which might be expected to be more lush, is meager.
