It can be used to describe an obvious flaw or imperfection in an object, process, or argument.
Example: "Upon inspection, we found a clear defect in the product that needs to be addressed before it can be sold."
Alternatives: "an obvious flaw" or "a distinct imperfection."
CT images revealed a clear defect in the L5 lamina which resembled double laminae, suggesting pseudoarthrosis in the lamina (laminolysis) (Fig. 3a).
Moreover, in the last picture, a clear defect can be identified, which is interpreted as a local thinning of the specimen, that is, an example of necking.
Computed tomography (CT) showed a clear defect in the L5 lamina, which looked like double laminae, suggesting laminolysis or pseudoarthrosis in the lamina (Fig. 2).
Open image in new window Fig. 3 a CT images show a clear defect in the L5 lamina, which is seen intralaminally.
From the other plain X-rays, it is difficult to detect the defect Open image in new window Fig. 2 CT scans showing a clear defect in the L5 lamina Open image in new window Fig. 3 MRI showed signal changes on the defect in the L5 lamina, namely a low-intensity signal on T1-weighted images and high intensity on the fat-saturated T2-weighted images.
One of the MOs produced a clear defect in epiboly.
However oblique view films did not reveal any clear defect at the pars interarticularis.
We reasoned that the lack of consistent or clear defect in SSBR in aprataxin-defective cells may reflect that breaks with 5′-AMP arise at low frequency, and/or the availability of other factors for repair of 5′-AMP termini.
We note that although overexpression of Maf1 confers modest Pol III repression, no growth defect is observed, suggesting that cells must cross a threshold of very low tRNA abundance before conferring a clear growth defect.
The PDX1 gene lying upstream of TDH3, had a clear termination defect in the rna15-2 strain, but was unaffected by the S411A or npl3-120 mutations (Figure 5B).
In addition, the clonal expansions we detected were associated with a clear biochemical defect.
