The phrase "attributable to defects" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the cause of a problem or issue, indicating that the problem is due to defects in a product, process, or system.
Example: "The high rate of returns was largely attributable to defects in the manufacturing process."
Alternatives: "due to flaws" or "caused by imperfections".
Much of the reduction in cost is obtained through experience in manufacturing, where low yields attributable to defects in the patterns have been a major problem.
Those findings confirm that the observed degradation is largely attributable to defects that are present in the bulk silicon and — when exposed to light — affect lifetime, thus conversion efficiency, in cells that have been fired at higher temperatures.
Juvenile Batten disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by accelerated apoptotic death of photoreceptors and neurons attributable to defects in the CLN3 gene.
In addition, multiple peaks attributable to defects such as VO and Zn i can be seen spanning the range from 470 to 670 cm−1.
Most of this error is attributable to defects in microfluidic device manufacture (see Supplementary Material S1).
In these studies, loss-of-function mutations in V-ATPase subunits produce phenotypes that are attributable to defects in membrane fusion independent of acidification [15] [17].
The can2Delta mutant in vitro growth defect is largely attributable to defective fatty acid synthesis.
To ascertain if the wsc1 ∆ mat formation defect was attributable to a defect in Flo11p expression or localization, the percentage of cells expressing Flo11p on the cell wall were measured by immunofluorescence.
Although Ciona mutants characterized by an impairment in tail extension have been previously described, such mutations are attributable to specific defects in notochord development [23], [24].
Overall, it seems unlikely that the short run lengths in phase II of BicDPA66 and the t = 3 null are attributable to microtubule defects.
This was not attributable to birth defects, as this phenotype is readily reversed by replacing Ccnd1 KI/KI females with Ccnd1 KI/+ or Ccnd1+/+ foster mothers after birth (Supplementary Fig S1B).
