It can be used when explaining the cause of a problem or issue, specifically linking it to flaws or shortcomings in something.
Example: "The delays in the project timeline are attributable to defects in the initial design."
Alternatives: "due to flaws in" or "resulting from issues in".
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.
Juvenile Batten disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by accelerated apoptotic death of photoreceptors and neurons attributable to defects in the CLN3 gene.
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].
Copper and iron are closely co-regulated in the cell, so we sought to determine if these phenotypes were attributable to defects in solely copper or in both copper and iron uptake [24], [25].
The more pronounced defect in 1013-2 may be attributable to defects in the gerAB and gerAC genes and the large 72 kb deletion which contains several genes involved in germination.
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.
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.
Abnormalities in the development of the immune system may be attributable partly to defects in the interaction of the flora with mucosal immune compartments (Tlaskalova-Hogenova et al. 2004).
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].
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.
