The phrase "attenuation could be" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the reduction or weakening of a signal, effect, or phenomenon.
Example: "In this experiment, we found that attenuation could be a significant factor affecting the results."
Alternatives: "reduction may be" or "diminution could be".
Dr Ariën believes that in this case the attenuation could be the result of what he calls "serial genetic bottlenecks" during transmission from host to host.
Hence, the meridional light attenuation could be reduced by controlling biomass concentration in PBR.
Furthermore, a broadband noise attenuation could be achieved by using a robust feedback controller in the real time test.
The propagation performance attenuation could be equivalently handled by setting a bigger transmitting power or using a more sensitive receiver. .
As the frequency increased towards 45 Hz, even more important attenuation could be realized (on the order of 50%) for the handle-hand combination.
Anelastic attenuation could be implemented by using a viscoelastic formulation (e.g., Blanch et al. 1995; JafarGandomi and Takenaka 2013) instead of the elastic one, and it is straightforward to apply the quasi-Cartesian scheme to the viscoelastic formulation.
The wild type S. Gallinarum strains used in this study has previously been shown to be virulent in chickens [ 14], and attenuation could therefore be attributed to the changes conferred by transduction with DNA from S. Typhimurium.
Based on the quantified changes in total contaminant mass fluxes between the control planes, first-order natural attenuation rate constants could be estimated.
It is known that a temperature decrease by ~100 ��C reduces seismic velocity by only ~1% (e.g., Duffy and Anderson 1989), but attenuation in olivine could be halved under upper mantle conditions (e.g., Jackson et al. 2002).
We analyzed whether attenuation of SO2 could be characterized by greater susceptibility to NO when compared to the wild-type strain.
A comparison of the ultrasonic attenuation could not be made due to lack of experimental data in the literature.
