The phrase "a function of the blast" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the effects or outcomes related to an explosion or similar event.
Example: "The damage caused to the surrounding buildings is a function of the blast's intensity and proximity."
Alternatives: "an effect of the blast" or "a result of the blast".
But as those blasts became less common — a function of the U.S. and NATO withdrawal — the boys started wandering onto the range to collect scrap metal to sell.
BLAST scores correspond roughly to the number of matched bases penalized by a function of the number and type of mismatches.
The ratio "BLAST score host genome/BLAST score NR database" was then calculated for each gene and plotted as a function of the position of that gene on the genome.
The stated goal was not to duplicate a realistic anchorage, but to measure damage as a function of distance from the blast center, at as many different distances as possible.
The uniqueness of observed peptides was verified by performing a peptide sequence search using the BLASTP function of the BLAST search engine (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) and a single peptide unique to EGFR was chosen which spans residues 98 108 of the EGFR extracellular domain.
The technique we found most useful in refining the definitions of the MPREs was to plot the frequency of BLAST hits as a function of position within the sequence of the putative repeat elements.
The next two measures of count number were calculated by plotting the number of BLAST hits as a function of position on the RE.
Oil is a blast to the economy of yesterday, and its profits largely a function of government mismanagement of the dollar.
The blast load history as a function of time was applied to the inner wall of each blasthole.
These relationships were used to construct a practical blasting chart, which gives the maximum amount of explosive to be used as a function of distance, for future underground and surface blasting operations in the training field.
