The phrase "a likely explanation why" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a possible reason or rationale for a particular situation or phenomenon.
Example: "The researchers proposed a likely explanation why the experiment yielded unexpected results."
Alternatives: "a probable reason for" or "a plausible explanation for".
That system was intended to make it very difficult to identify members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, and is a likely explanation why Pakistani investigators have had little luck in finding Mr. Kasab's family in Faridkot.
This confirms that the LTR 'handicap' remained present during the time frame of the experiment and this gives a likely explanation why the mt-MT4 replicates were 'locked' on a lower fitness peak compared to wt-MT4.
This mechanism is a likely explanation why low-dose ciprofloxacin treatment of S. aureus resulted in an enhanced release of LTA and, consequently, to activation of PMN.
It is also a likely explanation why DNA tumour viruses such as SV40, adenovirus, and human papilloma virus (HPV) encode proteins that target both Rb and p53.
This is a likely explanation why within-day variance estimates were inaccurate for sampling strategies with larger block sizes, while they were not for strategies with block size 1, where observations will be (close to) unaffected by autocorrelation.
A likely explanation why age was not identified as a risk factor for tissue donors is that few post-mortem tissue donors are younger than 40, and during the outbreaks it was unlikely that age affected the exposure risk since Q fever is an airborne infection.
On this basis, a simple, yet likely explanation why CURSI is not able to outperform CRB-65 or CURB-65 would be that it only substitutes one strong predictor variable (age) with another (shock index).
Autophagosomes generally have a short half-life of 5 10 min, which is the most likely explanation why basal levels of autophagy are very difficult to visualize in most tissues.
The lack of detailed co-morbidity data and a heavy emphasis on severity of acute illness in the model developed by Wright et al. is the most likely explanation why our results are different from theirs.
The most likely explanation why any of those approaches failed could be less DNA of HBoV, but as long as it is not possible to cultivate HBoV routinely it is difficult to obtain large quantities of virus and one is dependent on high titer clinical specimen.
Family background is also the most likely explanation why non-segregating families showed lower mortality than segregating families.
