Feeding rats a western-style diet weakens those tight junctions and thereby allows potentially harmful substances to pass into the brain.
The eradication of some organisms relieves the inhibitory activity they have on each other and thereby allows the surviving organisms to multiply.
The short stirrup, which is now ubiquitous, lifts the rider over the horse's withers (the ridge between the horse's shoulder bones) and thereby allows the animal better balance.
Sidewinding allows minimal contact of the body with hot sand and thereby allows the snake to be active at a time when surface travel would be lethal.
Packaging the oxygen-bearing pigment hemoglobin in erythrocytes keeps the viscosity of the blood minimal and thereby allows efficient circulation while limiting the mechanical load on the heart.
It is attributed to the deposition of carbon within the growing oxide scale which makes the oxide porous and thereby allows rapid oxidation.
Numerical results have demonstrated that retransmission at the data link layer alleviate rigorous error-control requirements at the physical layer and thereby allows higher data rate transmission.
But this equitable method has its own drawback: it tends to relax the force of precedent, by minimizing the costs of overruling, and thereby allows the courts to act with a freedom comparable to that of legislatures.
The nation's world-class private sector, believers in agency rather than dependency, follows the old principle of "vivre heureux, vivre caché" — to live happily, live hidden — and thereby allows the functionary's order to prevail as reference point.
This provides a mirrorlike surface, the tapetum lucidum, which reflects light outward and thereby allows a second chance for its absorption by visual pigments at very low light intensities.
This sheath, which is anchored to the skin by fibrous connective tissue, is all but disconnected from the vertebral musculature and thereby allows the skin and superficial muscles to move as a single unit.
