Because the rake angle Af at the tip of the knife is very much smaller ( or even negative ) when compared to the value of **yc for the major portion of the knife, a very rapid increase in cutting force with thickness will result.

Because there is no canonical well-ordering of all sets, a construction that relies on a well-ordering may not produce a canonical result, even if a canonical result is desired ( as is often the case in category theory ).

Because and can be very similar numbers, the precision of the result can be much less than the inherent precision of the floating-point arithmetic used to perform the computation.

Because the result of performing the operation on a pair of elements of S is again an element of S, the operation is called a closed binary operation on S ( or sometimes expressed as having the property of closure ).

Because of this, they lack referential transparency, i. e. the same language expression can result in different values at different times depending on the state of the executing program.

Because deeper rock is often older, as noted by the principle of superposition, this can result in older rocks moving on top of younger ones.

Because algae consume large amounts of oxygen, it can result in dead zones for fish.

Because while re-evaluates the first result,

Because gcd ( a, b ) is a divisor of both a and b, the division is guaranteed to yield an integer, so the intermediate result can be stored in an integer.

* Compliance — Because the result is attained by the parties working together and is mutually agreeable, compliance with the mediated agreement is usually high.

Because the result of scaling by whole numbers can be thought of as consisting of some number of copies of the original, whole-number products greater than 1 can be computed by repeated addition ; for example, 3 multiplied by 4 ( often said as " 3 times 4 ") can be calculated by adding 4 copies of 3 together:

Because of its cost and radioactivity, experimental chemical research is seldom performed with radon, and as a result there are very few reported compounds of radon, all either fluorides or oxides.

Because of the thinned array curse, such arrays of multiple apertures, when used in transmitters, result in narrow beams at the expense of reducing the total power transmitted to the target.

Because cells and more importantly the DNA can be damaged, this ionization can result in an increased chance of cancer, and thus " ionizing radiation " is somewhat artificially separated out of particle and electromagnetic radiation, simply due to its larger potential for biological damage per unit of energy.

Because of the expected retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet, the batteries and gyroscopes that keep the telescope pointed will eventually fail, which would result in its reentry and break-up in Earth's atmosphere.

Because of its tectonic origin, several faults scar the land ; as a result, the island is prone to earthquakes.

Because deadweight costs are related to the elasticity of supply and demand for a good, it follows that putting the highest tax rates on the goods for which there is most inelastic supply and demand will result in the least overall deadweight costs.

Because both lengths of dissimilar metals experience the same temperature gradient, the end result is a measurement of the difference in temperature between the thermocouple junction and the reference junction.

Because the processor has duplex hardware, one active side, and one standby side, a failure of one side of the processor will not necessarily result in a loss of switching.

Because of this backside attack, S < sub > N </ sub > 2 reactions result in a reversal of the configuration of the electrophile.
