The phrase "attributed to a defect" 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 believed to be due to a defect.
Example: "The malfunction of the device was attributed to a defect in the manufacturing process."
Alternatives: "ascribed to a flaw" or "linked to a defect".
The weak blue-light emission at 430 nm is attributed to a defect related emission of the ZnS host [11].
These differences in intramacrophage replication may not be attributed to a defect in uptake, since Fischer 344 rat BMDM exhibited better basal phagocytic ability to mouse BMDM.
Although the mechanism responsible for this lethality has generally been attributed to a defect in cell cycle progression through G1, based on studies using a dominant-negative and inducible form of C-Myb [15], neither the molecular basis of embryonic lethality nor its function in ES cells has been evaluated.
This has been attributed to a defect in progenitor proliferation rather than cell fate determination [ 38].
Mouse resistance to PAN has been attributed to a defect in glomerular adenosine deaminase (ADA), which metabolizes PAN.
This has been attributed to a defect in innate sensing, which leads to unstable gut microbiota and low-grade inflammation, which may represent drivers for chronic colitis [ 64].
This is attributed to a defect-driven mechanism in which the diffusion of defects from the collision cascade is critical.
Photoluminescence properties are similar among the samples with a strong peak emission band centered at 620 nm that is attributed to a defect-state-related emission.
The accident has been attributed to a manufacturing defect rather than a design flaw.
These characteristics have been attributed to a possible defect in the pre- and postnatal development of specific neural networks including the dentate-thalamo-cortical pathway, which is involved in motor learning, automaticity of movements, and higher cognitive functions.
The activation parameters of this relaxation have been measured, Hact = 3.1 ± 0.05 eV, τ0 = 8.3 ×��10−17 s and β = 1.3, and the relaxation is attributed to a point defect mechanism taking place inside the supersaturated α2-Ti3Al phase.
