Because anthropology developed from so many different enterprises ( see History of Anthropology ), including but not limited to fossil-hunting, exploring, documentary film-making, paleontology, primatology, antiquity dealings and curatorship, philology, etymology, genetics, regional analysis, ethnology, history, philosophy, and religious studies, it is difficult to characterize the entire field in a brief article, although attempts to write histories of the entire field have been made.

Because most embryonic development is outside the parental body, it is subject to many adaptations due to specific ecological circumstances.

Because experimentation is iterative, the

Because the range of possible values for K < sub > a </ sub > spans many orders of magnitude, a more manageable constant, pK < sub > a </ sub > is more frequently used, where pK < sub > a </ sub >

Because Little Boy was an air burst above the ground, there was no bomb crater and no local radioactive fallout.

Because relays are much more resistant than semiconductors to nuclear radiation, they are widely used in safety-critical logic, such as the control panels of radioactive waste-handling machinery.

Because of this a dirty bomb with radioactive material around an explosive device would be almost useless, unless said shielding was removed shortly before detonation.

Because of its design, its high temperatures allow higher thermal efficiencies than possible in traditional nuclear power plants ( up to 50 %) and has the additional feature that the gases do not dissolve contaminants or absorb neutrons as water does, so the core has less in the way of radioactive fluids.

Because of radioactive contamination, Bikini remains uninhabited as of 2011, though it is occasionally visited by sport divers.

Because of its controversial nature and content, it was nearly impossible for Levine to find a publisher — one prospective publisher even called it " radioactive.

Because of this, extraction of silver from highly radioactive fission products would be uneconomical, but when recovered with palladium, rhodium and ruthenium ( price of silver in 2011: about 880 €/ kg ; rhodium ; and ruthenium: about 300, 000 €/ kg ) the economics change substantially.

Because of its wide availability as a drinking-water decontaminant, and high content of potassium iodide, emergency use of it was at first recommended to the Polish government in 1986, after the Chernobyl disaster to replace and block any intake of radioactive, even though it was known to be a non-optimal agent, due to its somewhat toxic free-iodine content.

Because much of the heat is provided by radioactive decay, scientists believe that early in Earth history, before isotopes with short half-lives had been depleted, Earth's heat production would have been much higher.

Because the private eye intends to save society in spite of himself, he invariably finds himself in trouble with the police.

Because the responsibility for resolving the issue lay with the President, rather than with his doctors, nothing raises more surely for us the difficulties simple goodness faces in dealing with complex moral problems under political pressure.
