It can be used when discussing a cause or reason for something that is considered minor or insignificant.
Example: "The delay in the project was attributed to a slight miscommunication between the teams."
Alternatives: "ascribed to a minor" or "credited to a small".
MBNenergy increases in the early plastic deformation region were attributed to a slight increase in elastic strain due to work hardening.
In general, all profiles show weak depletions of mobile elements (Ca, Na, Mg, Sr, U) in the upper continental crust UCC-normalized diagrams which are attributed to a slight chemical alteration.
In Raman backscattering measurements, TO phonon mode is forbidden in the (100) direction, a small TO phonon mode peak for the bulk GaSb (100) substrate might be attributed to a slight substrate mis-orientation or imperfection [44].
The small decrease in sulfamethazine sorption may be attributed to a slight change in pH brought about by increase in ionic strength, and a possible change in interfacial potential between the negative sediment surface and the partially charged sulfamethazine [44 46].
The top interface of the P2 layer appears lower by around 150 nm (limited by the image resolution in Figure 3) in the region where no P1 layer is present, which was attributed to a slight over etch of the RIE into the silicon.
This shift was attributed to a slight increase in the pore size due to the replacement of K+ extra-framework (1.38 Å) with the smaller cation size of Li+ (0.76 Å), Na+ (1.02 Å), and Ca2+ (1.00 Å) (Table 1) [21].
There was, however, a weak resonance peak located at ∼545 nm, which we attribute to a slight excitation of the uncoupled 60 nm NP LSPR.
The slight discrepancy could be attributed to a little mismatch of the effective lengths.
The pro-tumoral effect of VEGF-C was previously attributed to a better oxygenation due to a slight angiogenic response or a decreased intratumoral pressure because of the increased number of lymphatic vessels.
It was a personal slight attributed to a longstanding disagreement with Neil Kinnock, who was Labour party leader at the time, and one which was bitterly resented on Harrison's behalf by his many friends.
The slight variation can be attributed to a number of operational reasons and sample-related errors.
