The phrase "attributed to a size" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe something that is associated with or ascribed to a particular size, but the phrasing is awkward and unclear.
Example: "The discrepancies in the data were attributed to a size that was not accounted for in the initial analysis."
Alternatives: "linked to a size" or "associated with a size".
These data represent a fluorescent blueshift when compared to the values reported by other authors [40, 41] which may be attributed to a quantum size effect resulting from the very small nanocrystal size (the cluster - nanocrystal size in bare TiO2 NPs, is smaller than 1 nm as estimated by Scherrer's equation).
While moderate stress biaxiality had a beneficial effect on fatigue lives, attributed mainly to a retardation of crack initiation, equibiaxial tension had a slightly detrimental effect, attributed to a "pseudo size effect".
The relatively small biexciton binding energy for the present QDs would be attributed to a large size of QDs, since an increase of radius of QDs reduces biexciton binding energy [19].
Since the same batch of catalyst is used for both the autoclave and the meso-scale structured downflow slurry bubble column reactor, the difference in selectivity cannot be attributed to a particle size effect.
We had earlier suggested that charge-transfer and diffusion impedances are attributed to a particle size distribution for a commercially available LIB, and we designed an equivalent circuit in which two series circuits of charge-transfer resistance and Warburg impedance were connected in parallel.
The line broadening is attributed to a smaller crystallite size and to a larger amount of defects in multiwall MoS2 nanotubes compared to MoS2 single crystals [22, 23].
The films prepared from the pyrrole solutions containing tiron showed a better uniformity and lower surface roughness, which can be attributed to a lower particle size.
The association between the CAS1_DELHI isolates and drug-resistance observed for this study may be attributed to a low sample size and the fact that the isolates were collected from a single hospital in an urban setting.
The relatively fewer markers detected in Chinese lotus were possibly attributed to a smaller population size, though the relatively high-resolution genetic maps were constructed.
Although no statistically significant difference was found between the patients who underwent intramural myomectomy or myomectomy of a fibroid greater than 6 cm in diameter and the control group, this lack of a difference may be attributed to a small sample size and therefore insufficient power to detect such a difference.
