The phrase "ascribed to the function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing attributes, characteristics, or roles that are assigned or attributed to a specific function or purpose.
Example: "The efficiency of the system can be ascribed to the function of its advanced algorithms."
Alternatives: "attributed to the function" or "assigned to the function".
This mode of temperature discrimination need not be ascribed to the function of specific thermoreceptors; it could depend on skin receptors that are sensitive to combined mechanical and thermal stimulation.
From this data, we conclude that lateral PFC activity cannot be ascribed to the function of a single, unitary cognitive operation but rather lateral PFC is anatomically organized according to the types of cognitive operations that one performs when attempting to temporarily maintain and manipulate information.
For each known and candidate cancer gene, NCG 4.0 annotates a series of systems-level properties, defined as features that distinguish a group of genes (in this case, cancer-related genes) from the rest, and that cannot be ascribed to the function of the single gene alone (8).
Cu+ is thought to be the dominant oxidation state of labile copper in cells, where this speciation is largely ascribed to the function of membrane reductases that reduce extracellular Cu2+ prior to import as well as the reducing environment maintained within the cytosol.
The partial comlementaion of SaSTT3B on stt3a phenotype might be ascribed to the specialized function during SaSTT3A and SaSTT3B independent evolution which has been reflected in phylogenetic tree.
Representative FESEM micrographs of single rGO and ZnO/rGO-1 film are shown in Fig. 2. Figure 2a represents rGO nanosheets with slimsy wrinkles whereas Fig. 2b displays obvious fluctuant transparent rGO nanosheets with dispersed ZnO nanoparticles or their aggregation, which should be ascribed to the supporting function of ZnO nanoparticles under folded rGO sheets.
As the deposition temperature grows from 300 to 600 °C, the disorder degree of the a-C film decreases, and the value of MR also decreases, indicating that the lower disorder degree results in a smaller MR. The mechanism of this MR could be ascribed to the wave function shrinkage.
This difference was ascribed to the impaired supportive function of immune stromal cells to tumor cells but may also reflect direct effects on tumor cells in response to Cn inhibition by CsA.
This effect may be ascribed to the loss of function of tubular cells that are immunologically active operating as antigen-presenting cells and are known to orchestrate the clearance of inflammatory mediators [ 3, 4].
The down-regulation of NCX3, but not NCX1 or NCX2, following expression of wild-type or mutant KChIP3 in other cell types was ascribed to the DREAM transcriptional regulator function of the protein and indeed the NCX3 gene was found to harbour DRE motifs in its promoter region [ 32].
An inspection of the functions ascribed to the different cytoarchitectural regions presented in Table 1 reveals a complicated picture, and the mapping between the structural divisions and areas of functional specialisation is by no means one-to-one.
