Because of the extraordinary range of properties of polymeric materials, they play an essential and ubiquitous role in everyday life.

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 purpose of a roof is to protect people and their possessions from climatic elements, the insulating properties of a roof are a consideration in its structure and the choice of roofing material.

Because the stars were all born at roughly the same time, the different properties of all the stars in a cluster are a function only of mass, and so stellar evolution theories rely on observations of open and globular clusters.

Because modern systems cut across many areas of human endeavor, security engineers not only need consider the mathematical and physical properties of systems ; they also need to consider attacks on the people who use and form parts of those systems using social engineering attacks.

Because of this likeness, statistical methods can be used to account for the macroscopic properties of the thermodynamic system in terms of the properties of the microscopic species.

Because of its conductive properties and relative chemical inertness, tungsten is also used in electrodes, and in the emitter tips in electron-beam instruments that use field emission guns, such as electron microscopes.

Because of these properties, clay is used for making pottery items, both utilitarian and decorative.

Because of the herb's tranquilizer properties, it may cause dizziness or drowsiness, effects that should be considered before driving or operating heavy or hazardous equipment.

Because of these properties, linear motors are often used in maglev propulsion, as in the Japanese Linimo magnetic levitation train line near Nagoya.

Because it is thought to be the most abundant mineral in Earth ’ s mantle at shallower depths, the properties of olivine have a dominant influence upon the rheology of that part of Earth and hence upon the solid flow that drives plate tectonics.

Because few materials exhibit the needed properties at room temperature, applications have so far been limited to cryogenics and research.

Because this protein gp120 is necessary for HIV to attach, it does not change across different strains and is a point of vulnerability across the entire range of the HIV variant population.

Because of a change in balance, actions such as sitting, squatting, lunging or walking are often selected by the teacher.

Because this is a change to the observer's frame of reference ( i. e. the Earth itself ), it would therefore affect all stars equally.

Because u < sub > ρ </ sub > is a unit vector, its magnitude is fixed, and it can change only in direction, that is, its change du < sub > ρ </ sub > has a component only perpendicular to u < sub > ρ </ sub >.

Because Titus effectively acted as co-emperor with his father, no abrupt change in Flavian policy occurred when Vespasian died on 23 June 79.

In 1551 the Council of Trent definitively declared: " Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread 6: 51, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood.

Because official records may reflect many kinds of surname change, without explaining the underlying reason for the change, the correct identification of a person recorded identified with more than one name is challenging.

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

Because of this change in approach some RuneQuest fans found it difficult to adjust to HeroQuest.

Because waves at different frequencies propagate at differing phase velocities in dispersive media, for a large frequency range ( a narrow envelope in space ) the observed pulse would change shape while traveling, making group velocity an unclear or useless quantity.

Because the GWP of a greenhouse gas depends directly on its infrared spectrum, the use of infrared spectroscopy to study greenhouse gases is centrally important in the effort to understand the impact of human activities on global climate change.

Because extensive European contact began so late in the country's history, the traditional social structure carried over into modern times with little change.

Because humans do not always copy memes perfectly, and because they may refine, combine or otherwise modify them with other memes to create new memes, they can change over time.

Because of this jump discontinuity in the marginal revenue curve, marginal costs could change without necessarily changing the price or quantity.

Because phase boundaries relate to changes in the organization of matter, such as a change from liquid to solid or a more subtle change from one crystal structure to another, this latter usage is similar to the use of " phase " as a synonym for state of matter.

Because of this runner, the mouldboard plough is harder to turn around than the scratch plough, and its introduction brought about a change in the shape of fields – from mostly square fields into longer rectangular " strips " ( hence the introduction of the furlong ).

Because conversion is a change in values that embraces God and rejects sin, it includes a personal commitment to a life of holiness as described by Paul of Tarsus and exemplified by Jesus.

Because the total weight does not change, the object's reference count does not need to be updated.

Because of the perceived success of the reconciliatory approach in dealing with human-rights violations after political change either from internal or external factors, other countries have instituted similar commissions, though not always with the same scope or the allowance for charging those currently in power.

Because of this, a small change in titrant volume near the equivalence point results in a large pH change and many indicators would be appropriate ( for instance litmus, phenolphthalein or bromothymol blue ).

Because complex systems are dynamical systems they change over time, and prior states may have an influence on present states.
