Because of their biological significance, amino acids are important in nutrition and are commonly used in nutritional supplements, fertilizers, and food technology.

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 of the tortuous terrain in places, villages and towns in the mountains — to which travel via motorized vehicles are of little use — are still located in the high Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.

Because Ambrosius and Vortigern are shown in the Historia Brittonum as being in conflict, some historians have suspected that this preserves a historical core of the existence of two parties in opposition to one another, one headed by Ambrosius and the other by Vortigern.

Because of its elevation and distance from the coast, the Australian Capital Territory experiences four distinct seasons, unlike many other Australian cities whose climates are moderated by the sea.

Because Broadway is a true north – south route that parallels the Hudson River and preceded the grid that the Commissioners ' Plan of 1811 imposed on the island, Broadway diagonally crosses Manhattan, its intersections with avenues marked by " squares " ( some merely triangular slivers of open space ) have induced some interesting architecture, such as the Flatiron Building.

Because Disciples believe that the invitation to the table comes from Jesus Christ, communion is open to all who confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, regardless of their denominational affiliation.

Because most of the kernel and supporting packages are free and open source software, Linux distributions have taken a wide variety of forms — from fully featured desktop, server, laptop, netbook, mobile phone, and tablet operating systems as well as minimal environments ( typically for use in embedded systems or for booting from a floppy disk ).

Because they become very hot, practically all machine guns fire from an open bolt, to permit air cooling from the breech between bursts.

Because of the great width of the pontoons, Schwimmpanzer IIs were to be deployed from specially modified Type C landing barges, from which they could be launched directly into open water from a large hatch cut into the stern.

Because of their location, open clusters are occasionally referred to as galactic clusters, a term that was introduced in 1925 by the Swiss-American astronomer Robert Julius Trumpler.

Because open clusters tend to be dispersed before most of their stars reach the end of their lives, the light from them tends to be dominated by the young, hot blue stars.

Because of their high density, close encounters between stars in an open cluster are common.

Because the stars in an open cluster are all at roughly the same distance from Earth, and were born at roughly the same time from the same raw material, the differences in apparent brightness among cluster members is due only to their mass.

Because of its associations with democratic institutions, rhetoric is commonly said to flourish in open and democratic societies with rights of free speech, free assembly, and political enfranchisement for some portion of the population.

Because the Ringworld spins fast enough to provide gravity, once the police station and ship are on the underside, centrifugal force pushes them outward from the ring into open space.

Because the two ends of an open string can always meet and connect, forming a closed string, there are no string theories without closed strings.

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 the Khujand – Dushanbe route is closed in winter, the Anzob Tunnel was built to bypass the mountain crossing and open a route connecting Tashkent ( Uzbekistan ) and points north with Afghanistan and Pakistan to the south, via Tajikistan.

Because of their liquidity and perceived low risk, treasuries are used to manage the money supply in the open market operations of non-US central banks.

Because of the compact nature of the long pole form, it is not necessary to practice the form in such a large open area.

Because of low vacuum at high RPM, reports of unintended acceleration are often accompanied by complaints of failed or weakened brakes, as the high-revving engine, having an open throttle, is unable to provide enough vacuum to power the brake booster.

Because the ECAHA was the top hockey league in Canada at the time, the Cup trustees agreed to open the challenges to professional teams .< ref name =" DiamondPrize-19 ">< nowiki > Diamond, Zweig, and Duplacey </ nowiki >, p. 19 </ ref > The first professional competition came one month later during the Wanderers ' two-game, total goals challenge series, which they won 17 goals to 5.

Because of a seemingly meaningless loss to the lowly Chicago Bulls in the regular season finale ( both the Sixers and the Lakers finished with identical 56 – 26 records, but Los Angeles was awarded a higher seed based on tiebreakers ), the 76ers had to open a series on the road for the first time in the 2001 playoffs.

Because the Academy grounds are generally open to the public, the Academy often became a site for protests by anti-war demonstrators.

Because of the shallow waters, the development of aquatic life in the Sea of Azov is more characteristic of a lagoon, and the plankton patterns are rather similar in the open sea and near the shores.

Because of this, the region was protected by the New Jersey Legislature and Governor Jim McGreevey under the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act enacted in 2004 that sought to preserve water resources, to promote open space and farmland preservation, to create new recreational parks, and to regulate land use planning to achieve these goals.
