The phrase "a majority of elements" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a significant portion or more than half of a group of items or components.
Example: "In the survey results, a majority of elements indicated a preference for the new design over the old one."
Alternatives: "most of the components" or "the greater part of the elements".
Implementation researchers anticipate that when a majority of contextual elements are conducive to change, implementation is usually successful.
In contrast, when a majority of contextual elements are not conducive to change, implementation is not successful.
Although a majority of Alu elements are considered to be neutral residents of the human genome, an inserted copy of an Alu repeat could interrupt structurally or functionally important genomic regions and consequently affect the expression of a locus [Batzer and Deininger, 2002; Callinan and Batzer, 2006].
A majority of these Alu elements reside in the 3′UTR (99%) and only 1% of them reside in the 5′UTR region.
Sequences of only 4.3% of hESC-specific NANOG-binding sites are present in Neanderthals' genome, suggesting that a majority of these regulatory elements emerged in Modern Humans.
Only literature that presented final, original data regarding misoprostol use in home births and that included data that corresponded to a majority of the data elements discussed below was included for data extraction.
Computational and bioinformatics analyses of DNase I hypersensitivity sites in more than 40 distinct human cell types demonstrated that nearly two-thirds of primate-specific open chromatin regions were in TEs (Jacques et al. 2013), indicating that a majority of novel regulatory elements in the primate lineage evolved within TEs.
Try not to overuse "absolute" positioning when working with a majority of "relative" positioned elements.
The basic idea of compressive sensing is that when for a class of images the majority of elements in vector α corresponding to a particular dictionary are zeros or very small (sparsity), relatively few well-chosen measurements suffice to reconstruct the images in this class [ 21].
This type of activity allows recording of the voltage-sensitive dye signal corresponding to near-simultaneous activation of a majority of the recorded neural elements in the underlying cortical population, and therefore may provide an ideal basis for functional normalization.
