Since the buried archaeological record is essentially a volume of earth trapped between the two archaeological horizons defined by the underlying natural geology and the horizon of modern intrusions projecting down into the record, the detailed mapping of the underlying geology of an area has become important in deposit modeling and has resulted in a growth of work for geoarchaeologists.

Since certain loans and bonds may commonly be quoted in relation to some index or underlying security, they will often be quoted as a spread over ( or under ) the index.

Since our concepts of good and evil as instilled in us by God are only intended to facilitate ethical behaviour in our relations with other humans, we should have no expectation that our concepts are accurate beyond what is needed to fulfil this function, and therefore cannot presume that they are sufficient to determine whether what we call evil really is evil.

Since a decision was expected from England, and feeling that Bligh's behaviour had been insufferable, Foveaux left Bligh under house arrest and turned his attention to improving the colony's roads, bridges and public buildings, which he felt had been badly neglected.

Since the timeframe of study is usually relatively recent, industrial archaeology is often ( but not always ) able to achieve a more reliable and absolute recording of past behaviour than is possible for the more remote past.

Since no one intervenes during the incident, such behaviour appears to have been expected of him.

Since one normally does not know which of these will occur ( see adverse selection ) calculations must be based on expected life expectancies for people of similar gender, physical condition, and behaviour.

Since he was a member of the influential Brahman caste ( the highest-ranking caste ), it is reasonable to assume that he supported caste distinctions, and the Guptas may have been responsible for the emergence of Brahmanism as a theological system as well as a code of social behaviour, which was carried into present Hindu society.

Since siblings share 50 % of their genes ( as many as a parent shares with its offspring ) an explanation is required for any behaviour in an individual that results in a high death rate in that individual ’ s brothers and sisters.

Since the 19th century, the contemporary denotation of philistinism, as the behaviour of ‘ ignorant, ill-behaved persons lacking in culture or artistic appreciation, and only concerned with materialistic values ’ derives from Matthew Arnold ’ s adaptation to English of the German word Philister — as applied by university students in their antagonistic relations with the townspeople of Jena, Germany, where, in 1689, a row resulted in several deaths.

Since the normative, optimal decision often creates hypotheses for testing against actual behaviour, the two fields are closely linked.

Since it effectively uses an analytic function ( drag coefficient modelled as a function of the Mach number ) in order to match the drag behaviour of the specific bullet the Pesja method does not need to rely on any prefixed assumption.

Since then there has been an underpinning concept of professional behaviour and the implicit right, or even duty, to discipline members who did not conduct themselves appropriately.

Since high testosterone levels seem to encourage more aggressive behaviour, low levels may enhance the ability to develop a new relationship bond ( i. e. with the child ).

Since this feature is only an alteration of the receiver-side behaviour, it does not require any changes in the protocol or on the sender's side.

Since 1980 the taxonomy ( relationships ), taphonomy ( how the animals became embedded and fossilized ), biomechanics ( how their skeletons worked ), and palaeobiology ( life circumstances ) of Plateosaurus have been re-studied in detail, altering the interpretation of the animal's biology, posture and behaviour.

Since crime is understood to be learned behaviour, the theory is also applicable to white-collar, corporate, and organized crime.

Since around 1970, in an atmosphere newly receptive to the biological approaches to human behaviour, it has become clear that there were distinguished scientific contributions which followed up on Darwin's ideas.

Since neural systems are intimately related to cognitive processes and behaviour, the field is closely related to cognitive and behavioural modeling.

Since there are very many particles to cause scattering in this region, the Rayleigh fading statistical model may usefully predict behaviour and performance in this kind of system.

Since the address expansion is done in the PPG or in the wireless network, the behaviour between the PI and the PPG is identical to behaviour as if the address were not expanded.

Since then there has been an underpinning concept of professional behaviour and the implicit right, or even duty, to discipline members who did not conduct themselves appropriately.

Since the 1980s, Pennywell has suffered high levels of knife crime and anti-social behaviour, which culminated in the fatal stabbing of 22-year-old Kevin Johnson outside his house on Patrick Road on the morning of 19 May 2007.
