I have been writing my SOP for grad school and I'm looking for polite ways of saying "due to the lack of".



Currently, I have this sentence:




I analyse and solve system defects that occur in lieu of
well-thought-out specifications, poor design decisions, bad coding
practices or simply due to miscommunication




I am not sure if this is correct use of "in lieu of" and can be seen as somewhat critical of other's work.
Any help?

          Trompette piccolo

          Ne doit pas être confondu avec trompette de poche. Trompette piccolo en si bémol, avec des branches d'embouchure différentes pour le si bémol (la plus courte) ou la (la plus longue) Trompette piccolo La trompette piccolo est la plus petite de la famille des trompettes. Elle joue une octave plus haut que la trompette standard en si bémol. La plupart des trompettes piccolo sont conçues pour jouer dans les deux tonalités de si bémol ou la, en utilisant une branche d'embouchure différente pour chaque tonalité. Le tube de la trompette piccolo en si bémol a une longueur moitié de celle de la trompette normale en si bémol. Des trompettes piccolo en sol, fa, ut sont également fabriquées, mais elles sont rares. La trompette soprano en ré, aussi connu comme la « trompette Bach », a été inventée vers 1890 par le facteur belge Victor-Charles Mahillon pour jouer les parties hautes de la trompette dans la musique de Bach et Haendel. La trompette piccolo moderne permet aux

          Slow SSRS Report in dynamic grouping and multiple parameters

          Image
          0 I have developed a report which has 5 dynamic row groups from where users can choose in parameter selection. The report has 12 parameters so that user can get required information as per their parameter choice. Each parameter has multi value selection option with numerous lists of values (example: Customer parameter has 35,000 values and Item parameter has 2,500 values). Now, the report takes huge time to load parameter values as well as slow in preview (although, server resource is adequate). I am looking for a solution to improve the parameter selection performance without reducing the number of parameter and dynamic grouping sql-server reporting-services ssrs-2012 share | improve this question
