The phrase "abortive process" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a process that fails to achieve its intended outcome or is unsuccessful.
Example: "The project was deemed an abortive process, as it did not meet any of the initial goals set by the team."
Alternatives: "failed attempt" or "unsuccessful endeavor".
In order to test whether some of the transcripts detected in this study are abortive, processed or degraded forms of the 5'UTR or 3'UTR of their neighboring genes, a control RT-PCR was carried out on transcripts which were in close vicinity of and in the same orientation as their neighboring 5' or 3' ORF (see Additional file 2, figure S2 and table S3).
Estimation of the number of unsuccessful attempts requires, besides the average time t0 of the abort process, the knowledge of average length r0 of abortive RNA.
Modeling the abort process requires to set the amount of unsuccessful initiation attempts and the length of each abortive RNA, which are estimated in the model as follows.
Similarly, the exponential distribution for the time of the abort process, the negative binomial distribution for the number of unsuccessful initiation attempts, the geometric length of abortive RNA pieces, etc, should be named as such.
The British government has supplied the security forces of Bahrain with crowd control weapons and British advisers have been co-opted into the abortive reform process.
He became a familiar face during the protracted, and ultimately abortive, peace process under the government of Andrés Pastrana, when the guerrillas obtained a demilitarised zone the size of Switzerland in which to conduct talks that led nowhere.
The parameters are given in Table 1. 3. The description of the abortive initiation process is unclear, and appears to be different from the description in the manual (which is much clearer).
The simplest hypothesis is that an initial deletion occurred between two head-to-tail copies (with or without intervening sequences) by an abortive gap repair process that is known to be responsible for internal deletion of TEs [ 32].
It can also result from inhibition of autophagosome-lysosome fusion or autolysosome degradation, reflecting an abortive or defective autophagic process.
The fact that no internally truncated elements were identified could suggest that the element might be capable of perfect excision, not triggering the process of abortive gap repair.
