Since bundle theory states that all concrete particulars are merely constructions or ' bundles ' of attributes, or qualitive properties, the substance theorist's indiscernibility argument claims that the ability to recognize numerically different concrete particulars, such as concrete objects, requires those particulars to have discernible qualitative differences in their attributes and that the metaphysical realist who is also a bundle theorist must therefore concede to the existence of ' discernible ( numerically different ) concrete particulars ', the ' identity of indiscernibles ', and a ' principle of constituent identity '.

Since the tube requires a vacuum to operate, convection cooling of the plate is not generally possible ( except in special applications where the anode forms a part of the vacuum envelope ; this is generally avoided due to the shock hazard from the anode voltage ).

Since overhead transmission wires depend on air for insulation, design of these lines requires minimum clearances to be observed to maintain safety.

Since the flow of services from ecosystems requires that they function as whole systems, the structure and diversity of the system are important components of natural capital.

# Since the scheme requires a continual stream of investments to fund higher returns, once investment slows down, the scheme collapses as the promoter starts having problems paying the promised returns ( the higher the returns, the greater the risk of the Ponzi scheme collapsing ).

Since it requires less energy to place a satellite into a LEO and the LEO satellite needs less powerful amplifiers for successful transmission, LEO is still used for many communication applications.

Since the volume-specific corollary of the Dulong-Petit specific heat capacity relationship requires that atoms of all elements take up ( on average ) the same volume in solids, there are many departures from it, with most of these due to variations in atomic size.

Since it does not ordinarily pass through cell membranes, protein pores in cell membranes are used to provide a channel through which it can be ' pumped ' -- an activity which requires energy if done against a concentration gradient.

Since phosphorylation of any site on a given protein can change the function or localization of that protein, understanding the " state " of a cell requires knowing the phosphorylation state of its proteins.

Since the RFC requires that the SMTP-sender use the order given in the A record query, the DNS server is free to carefully manipulate its balancing based on any method, including round robin DNS, mail server load, or some undisclosed priority scheme.

Since full-duplex operation requires characters to be sent and received at the same time, practical UARTs use two different shift registers for transmitted characters and received characters.

Since the slogans have little application to reality and are sanctimonious to boot, the applause is faint even in areas of the world where we should expect to find the greatest affection for free government.

Since little is known about autism, and almost nothing has been written for the layman, we'd like to share one experienced mother's comments.

Since his seizure, Scotty had had little appetite ; ;

Since the mid 1950s, when urethane foam first made its appearance in the American market, growth has been little short of fantastic.

( page 33 ) On the other hand, a little later on he says: `` Since 1692 a great but superficial change has wiped out God's beard and the Devil's horns, but the world is still gripped between two diametrically opposed absolutes.

Since the Persian force obviously contained a high proportion of missile troops, a static defensive position would have made little sense for the Athenians ; the strength of the hoplite was in the melee, and the sooner that could be brought about, the better, from the Athenian point of view.

Since October 1998, Chadian Movement for Justice and Democracy ( MDJT ) rebels, led by Youssuf Togoimi until his death in September 2002, have skirmished with government troops in the Tibesti region, resulting in hundreds of civilian, government, and rebel casualties, but little ground won or lost.

Since these drummers want different sounds, their drums will be constructed a little differently.

Since such radiation can produce severe damage to life at powers that produce very little heating, it is considered far more dangerous ( in terms of damage-produced per unit of energy, or power ) than the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Since free software may be freely redistributed, it is generally available at little or no cost.

Since small dwarf ellipticals bear little resemblance to large ellipticals, they are often called dwarf spheroidal galaxies instead.

Since there was little rainfall irrigation systems were necessary.

Since the 80486DX design contained an FPU, the chip that replaced the 80386 contained the floating point functionality, and the chip that replaced the 80387 served very little purpose.

Since so very little flat area exists, many hills and mountainsides are cultivated all the way to the top.

Since the ship will sail in any case, bartered vacations cost the cruise company little or nothing.

Since neodymium coloration depends upon " forbidden " f-f transitions deep within the atom, there is relatively little influence on the color from the chemical environment, so the color is impervious to the thermal history of the glass.
