Since diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of any bulk material, layering diamond onto high heat producing electronics ( such as optics and transistors ) allows the diamond to be used as a heat sink.

Since the heat source that supplies thermal energy to the engine can thus be powered by virtually any kind of energy, heat engines are very versatile and have a wide range of applicability.

Since its inception it has broadened to find applications in many other areas, including statistical inference, natural language processing, cryptography, neurobiology, the evolution and function of molecular codes, model selection in ecology, thermal physics, quantum computing, plagiarism detection and other forms of data analysis.

Since growth is controlled by heat diffusion, anisotropy in thermal conductivity favors growth in specific directions, which has also an effect on the final shape.

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.

Since all atoms vibrate proportionally to their absolute temperature, a thermal neutron has the best opportunity to fission U-235 when it is moving at this same vibrational speed.

Since natural promethium is exceedingly scarce, the element is typically synthesized by bombarding uranium-235 ( enriched uranium ) with thermal neutrons ( for promethium-147 ).

Since the equipartition theorem worked so well in describing the vibrational modes of the thermal object itself, it was trivial to assume that it would perform equally well in describing the radiative emission of such objects.

Since the power flow in a DC link is controlled independently of the phases of the AC networks at either end of the link, this stability limit does not apply to a DC line, and it can transfer its full thermal rating.

Since they are indistinguishable, the contributions of all noise sources can be lumped together and regarded as a level of thermal noise.

Since the most important source of thermal energy is from the Sun, the ratio of glazing to thermal mass is an important factor to consider.

Since lasers and intense pulsed light sources cause thermal damage to the skin, there are concerns that laser or intense pulsed light treatments for acne will induce hyperpigmented macules ( spots ) or cause long-term dryness of the skin.

Since the thermal head doesn't have to sweep back and forth over the print media, there are fewer moving parts that can break down.

Since 1985, the U. S. military has been testing serial hybrid Humvees and have found them to deliver faster acceleration, a stealth mode with low thermal signature / near silent operation, and greater fuel economy.

Since 2000, export vehicles have been offered with thermal imaging night-vision gear of French manufacture as well ( though it may be more likely that they might simply use the locally manufactured ' Buran-Catherine ' system, which incorporates a French thermal imager ).

Since a thermal equilibrium state is time reversal invariant, Stephen Hawking argued that the time reverse of a black hole in thermal equilibrium is again a black hole in thermal equilibrium.

Since the system is in thermal equilibrium with the heat bath in the initial and the final states, T is also the temperature of the system in these states.

Since vibrational energy is generally much greater than the thermal agitation, it is rapidly dispersed into the solvent through solvent molecules ' rotation and translation.

Since then, thermal anomalies ( hot spots ) and gas emissions ( including hydrogen sulfide ) have occurred especially on the summit plateau.

Since a disk drive is a physical piece of hardware, the rotational speed of the drive can change slightly, due to a change in the motor speed or thermal expansion of the disk platter.

Since NFL expansion needed unanimous approval from team owners at that time, Marshall's position would prevent Murchison from joining the league.

Since independence Eritrea's relationship with Ethiopia was entirely political, especially in the resuscitation and expansion of IGAD's scope.

Since Hitler was not really interested in obtaining the former colonies, especially if the price was a brake on expansion into Eastern Europe, Ribbentrop was forced to turn down the Anglo-French offer that he had largely brought about.

Since these expeditions found nothing of value the Spaniards largely abandoned northward expansion.

Since then there has been a significant expansion primarily due to the " equality movement " and the European Union.

Since the early Middle Ages, the trade in furs was of great economic importance for northern and eastern European nations with large native populations of fur-bearing mustelids, and was a major economic impetus behind Russian expansion into Siberia and French and English expansion in North America.

Since expansion comes at a cost, the resulting growth could become unsustainable without forecasting and management.

Since 1980, the government has invested over US $ 1 billion in the park's infrastructure, and further expansion for more specialized parks have been pursued.

Since is small, we can use the Taylor expansion for the exponential

Since 1995 production has increased sharply and was expected to grow by 33 % in 2001 due to the expansion ( costing US $ 860m ) of the Mozal aluminium smelter which was approved in mid-2001.

Since that replacement, the great expansion of total power was driven by continuous improvements in energy conversion efficiency.

Since its initial discovery in 1958, the southern limits of the SAA have remained roughly constant while a long-term expansion has been measured to the northwest, the north, the northeast, and the east.

Since its release, it has added eight expansion packs, a booster pack and dozens of free content updates.

Since the four lane expansion of Highway 64 in the early 1990s western Fayette County has seen a population explosion.

Since the expansion parameter is now we put:

Since its incorporation in 1957, Sauk Village has undergone considerable change and expansion.

Since the transit system's expansion in late 2004, Largo Town Center has served as the eastern end of the Blue Line of the Washington Metro.

Since the expansion of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Shutesbury has grown in size steadily from the 1970s.

Since the late 1990s the city has been experiencing a surge in growth and expansion in the residential sector.

Since all spares were provided by Siemens, the equipment, like traffic lights eventually broke down, and projects like the metro expansion were abandoned.

Since the movement's international expansion beginning in the 1960s and extension of social and cultural activities beginning in the 1970s, Ikeda expanded his predecessor's ideas of " human revolution " and " engaging with the world, rather than liberation from it ", emphasizing, in the words of one observer, a " humanistic activism " as both the religious and social aims of Nichiren Buddhism.

Since 2000, the university launched a major restructuring programme, which, specifically, translated into a total image rebrand in 2003, the closure of a number of campuses over 2005 – 2011, the expansion of other campuses and generally the consolidation of the university's activities on fewer, bigger campuses in north London.

Since the 1970s, the growing influence of ethics in contemporary medicine can be seen in the increasing use of Institutional Review Boards to evaluate experiments on human subjects, the establishment of hospital ethics committees, the expansion of the role of clinician ethicists, and the integration of ethics into many medical school curricula.
