With a rigid mechanical linkage, smooth engagement would be near-impossible because engine movement inevitably occurs as the drive is " taken up.

This occurs because internal combustion engines are heat engines, and higher efficiency is created because higher compression ratios permit the same combustion temperature to be reached with less fuel, while giving a longer expansion cycle, creating more mechanical power output and lowering the exhaust temperature.

It usually occurs unnoticed because it is symptom-free or exhibits only mild symptoms that are not unique to Chagas disease.

The authors said that this occurs because they were built to local regulations that required specific features, but freed the architect to adapt them to particular situations.

Diamagnetism is believed to be due to quantum mechanics ( and is understood in terms of Landau levels ) and occurs because the external field alters the orbital velocity of electrons around their nuclei, thus changing the magnetic dipole moment.

Overlap occurs between these usages because deities or godlike entities are often identical with and / or identified by the powers and forces that are credited to them — in many cases a deity is merely a power or force personified — and these powers and forces may then be extended or granted to mortal individuals.

A bubble occurs when speculators note the fast increase in value and decide to buy in anticipation of further rises, rather than because the shares are undervalued.

In different Indo-European languages, each of these words has a difficult etymology because of taboo deformations — a euphemism was substituted for the original, which no longer occurs in the language.

Low atmospheric pressure tends to occur over warm water and high pressure occurs over cold water, in part because of deep convection over the warm water.

An early recorded mention of the term " El Niño " to refer to climate occurs in 1892, when Captain Camilo Carrillo told the Geographical society congress in Lima that Peruvian sailors named the warm northerly current " El Niño " because it was most noticeable around Christmas.

This occurs because excited molecules usually decay to the lowest vibrational level of the excited state before fluorescence emission takes place.

This phenomenon occurs because voiced fricatives have developed from lenition of plosives or fortition of approximants.

Movement along faults can result in folding, either because the faults are not planar, or because the rock layers are dragged along, forming drag folds, as slip occurs are along the fault.

This happens due to inert pair effect, which occurs because of stabilization of 5s-orbital due to relativistic effects, which are stronger closer to the bottom of the periodic table.

This occurs because the " valence " band containing the highest energy electrons is full, and a large energy gap separates this band from the next band above it.

# Direct contempt is that which occurs in the presence of the presiding judge ( in facie curiae ) and may be dealt with summarily: the judge notifies the offending party that he or she has acted in a manner which disrupts the tribunal and prejudices the administration of justice.

# Indirect contempt occurs outside the immediate presence of the court and consists of disobedience of a court's prior order.

* Chemical diffusion occurs in a presence of concentration ( or chemical potential ) gradient and it results in net transport of mass.

) The double exponential complexity of the theory makes it infeasible to use the theorem provers on complicated formulas, but this behavior occurs only in the presence of nested quantifiers: Oppen and Nelson ( 1980 ) describe an automatic theorem prover which uses the simplex algorithm on an extended Presburger arithmetic without nested quantifiers.

This process occurs in the presence of both houses of Congress, generally on January 6 of the year following a U. S. presidential election.

Usually detection occurs in advanced stages when the presence of the tumor has caused unexplained symptoms.

Dario Sabbatucci has stressed the feature of bearing instability and the antithesis to cosmic order of this god, who threatens the kingly power of Jupiter as Stator and Centumpeda and whose presence occurs side by side with Janus's on January 1.

Dichroism occurs in liquid crystals due to either the optical anisotropy of the molecular structure or the presence of impurities or the presence of dichroic dyes.

Exudative diarrhea occurs with the presence of blood and pus in the stool.

This reaction occurs independently of the presence of rebars: massive concrete structures such as dams can be affected.

It occurs following the mutation of neurofibromin 1 on chromosome 17q11. 2 ; the large size of the NF1 gene ( 286kbp ) and presence of many homologous regions may predispose it to mutations.

In the presence of water, the biflagellate sperm from the antheridia swim to the archegonia and fertilisation occurs, leading to the production of a diploid sporophyte.

It differs from taming in that a change in the phenotypical expression and genotype of the animal occurs, whereas taming is simply the process by which animals become accustomed to human presence.

Put another way, the chimera is formed from the merging of two nonidentical twins ( although a similar merging presumably occurs with identical twins, but as their DNA is almost identical, the presence would not be immediately detectable in a very early ( zygote or blastocyst ) phase.

Depicted on the right is the additional Zeeman splitting, which occurs in the presence of magnetic fields.

In the presence of water, sperm from the antheridia swim to the archegonia and fertilisation occurs, leading to the production of a diploid sporophyte.

This includes hyponatremia that occurs in the presence of massive hypertriglyceridemia, severe hyperglycemia, and extreme elevation of immunoglobulin levels.

This frequently occurs in the presence of other metaplastic columnar cells but only the presence of goblet cells is diagnostic.

Elephantiasis occurs in the presence of microscopic, thread-like parasitic worms such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B. timori, all of which are transmitted by mosquitoes.

The majority of tropospheric ozone formation occurs when nitrogen oxides ( NOx ), carbon monoxide ( CO ) and volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ), such as xylene, react in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight.

Since this process occurs extremely rapidly ( at least, it occurs rapidly in the presence of dense charged matter ), it is safe to assume that the photon chemical potential is never different from zero.
