The phrase "absolute defect" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts such as legal, technical, or quality assurance discussions to describe a flaw that completely undermines the functionality or value of an item or concept.
Example: "The product was returned due to an absolute defect that rendered it unusable."
Alternatives: "total flaw" or "complete deficiency."
When the blank wafers are transferred to another tool, e.g. a SEM or an AFM the absolute defect position information is lost.
Efflux defects for the UTI89 ΔhofQ and ΔgspD mutants were confirmed by fluorescence microscopy using green fluorescent protein-expressing strains, but these experiments indicated a delay in efflux rather than an absolute defect (R.K. and D.G.T. unpublished results).
The frequently observed failure of remyelination in MS does not appear to be due to an intrinsic, absolute defect of myelination, because de- and remyelinated MS lesions are frequently found side by side in the majority of patients.
Classification as an absolute defect (i.e. no response to the brightest stimulus at all points tested on the 24-2 HVF) required use of actual sensitivity rather than relative sensitivity loss.
The expert panel formulated the definitions of the various types of field defects, (e.g. normal, absolute defect, diffuse depression), all of which were based solely on data available within the 24-2 visual field.
For example, it is perplexing that fission and budding yeast mutants in the Mus81 Mms4/Eme1 complex are not more sensitive to DSBs in somatic cells but show defects in meiotic recombination (in fission yeast, an essentially absolute defect), a DSB-initiated HR event.
Furthermore, test point density can be reduced in "regions of no interest", i.e., widespread areas of absolute defects or areas with repeated confirmed normal DLS values.
The left eye had an absolute afferent pupillary defect.
Neutropenia is defined by either an absolute or functional defect (acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome) of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and is associated with high risk of specific complications that may require intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
During a 12 s stimulus presentation time the face expanded, from 0° visual angle to a size that was individually adjusted to the size of the absolute visual field defect of each patient as revealed by perimetry (approximately 6° × 8.5°).
Disadvantages of this technique are that it is not possible to judge whether the defect is absolute or relative, and there is no way to control fixation stability since the binocular testing conditions eliminate naturally occurring blind spots which are used for fixation control in other tests.
