Because in Japan birds have long had a connection with the dead, this may mean it was born in connection with some prehistorical funerary rite.

Because organic agriculture proclaims to sustain the health of soils, ecosystems, and people, it has much in common with Agroecology ; this does not mean that Agroecology is synonymous with organic agriculture, nor that Agroecology views organic farming as the ' right ' way of farming.

Because of the Thermidorian reaction — 9 Thermidor Year II — the overthrow of revolutionary radical Maximilien Robespierre and his followers in that month, the word " Thermidor " has come to mean a retreat from more radical goals and strategies during a revolution, especially when caused by a replacement of leading personalities.

Because of the use of the word ' cyan ' ( Greek: Κυανός, Kyanos ), which can also mean ' blue ' in Greek, the exact shade of blue remains ambiguous.

Because of the error in this approximation by a fraction, and because of the higher-order terms in the polynomial for the moment of mean syzygy, the accumulator needs to be corrected by subtracting 1 once every 65 years or so.

But what is clear is that Frege certainly did not mean that the sense of a name is merely a collection of ideas a particular user of a name happens to associate with it: Because they figure into the meanings of terms in a public language and can be communicated, senses must be objective.

Because the male and female plumages of the Mandarin Duck are so unalike, yuan-yang is frequently used colloquially in Cantonese to mean an " odd couple " or " unlikely pair " – a mixture of two different types of same category.

Because of the nature of the graduate thesis or dissertation having to be more narrow and more novel, the result of original research, these usually have a smaller proportion of the work that is cited from other sources, though the fact that they are lengthier may mean they still have more total citations.

Because the transfer of ownership officially occurred at Sitka mean solar time ( time zones were not yet in use ), that was the date and time that Alaska changed from an Asian Julian date to an American Gregorian date.

Because there is no clear definition of national socialism, the term has been used to mean very different things.

Because the object language of compilation has usually been machine language, the term object file has come to mean a file containing machine instructions, and sometimes the translated program itself is simply called an object.

Because of the wide variety of heat diffusion mechanisms ( one of which is black-body radiation which occurs at the speed of light ), objects on Earth rarely vary too far from the global mean surface and air temperature of 287 to 288 K ( 14 to 15 ° C ).

Because income distribution is generally positively skewed, mean is higher than median, so ratios to mean are lower than ratios to median.

Because motion which begins and ends at discrete places would ( e.g. for Aristotle ) be incomplete.

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 your forward motion relative to the falling rain, the rain now appears to be falling not straight down from directly above you, but at a slight angle from a point in the sky somewhat in front of you.

Because far less motion was involved than in a conventional dot matrix printer, these printers were very fast compared to dot matrix printers and were competitive in speed with formed-character line printers while also being able to print dot matrix graphics.

Because the electron carries negative charge, the electron motion in a metal conductor is in the direction opposite to that of conventional ( or electric ) current.

Because the comet's motion with respect to Jupiter was very small, it fell almost straight toward Jupiter, which is why it ended up on a Jupiter-centric orbit of very high eccentricitythat is to say, the ellipse was nearly flattened out.

Because a rotating frame is an example of a non-inertial reference frame, Newton's laws of motion do not accurately describe the dynamics within the rotating frame.

Because the projected horizontal motion in the rotating frame is a circular motion, the ball's motion requires an inward centripetal force, provided in this case by a fictitious force that produces the apparent spiral motion.

Because the motion is so small, however, this method has not yet been very productive.

Because this is a cross product, the force is perpendicular to both the motion of the particle and the magnetic field.

Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it is particularly suited to be used to drive an electrical generator – about 90 % of all electricity generation in the United States ( 1996 ) is by use of steam turbines.

Because of the relative motion of rotor and stator, molecules preferably hit the lower side of the blades.

Because of the devolution of power, the powers of the Central Committee have increased substantially ; for instance, when a two-thirds majority of the Politburo voted in favour of retaining Lê Khả Phiêu as General Secretary ( the leader of Vietnam ), the Central Committee voted against the Politburo's motion and voted unanimously in favour of removing Lê Khả Phiêu from his post of General Secretary.

Because both may be specified more or less arbitrarily, the wave function cannot maintain its former role of determining the probability density of finding the electron in a given state of motion.

Because their motion is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the ions are accelerated out into space.

Because the collisions between billiard balls are nearly elastic, and the balls roll on a surface that produces low rolling friction, their behavior is often used to illustrate Newton's laws of motion.

Because they are driven over the entire membrane surface rather than from a small voice coil, they ordinarily provide a more linear and lower distortion motion than dynamic drivers.
