Example: "The report included a partial alteration of the original data, which raised some questions about its accuracy."
Alternatives: "a partial change" or "a limited modification".
Therefore, the main mineralogical modifications observed include the remarkable formation of cronstedtite and greenalite, as well as the formation of magnetite at all temperatures, along with a significant dissolution of quartz, mixed-layer illite smectite clays, illite (affecting more than 70% of each mineralogical phase) and a partial alteration of chlorite, kaolinite and dolomite.
The green color in the background of the fourth panel could be due to a partial alteration of the azurite pigment [26].
Thus, the observed defects of SA and SE strains in nuclear positioning and oscillations (Figures 2 and 3) are probably based on a partial alteration of both Dyn1p and Kar9p pathways.
The slightly lower induction of CD36 expression observed with the F ab' 2 fragment in comparison to the native antibody could be explained by a partial alteration of the F ab' 2 fragments during the pepsin digestion process [ 42].
However, another possibility is that this population itself has a history of extensive vegetative reproduction with relaxed selection on floral reproductive characters since a partial alteration of the environment has been observed on the site (pers. obs).
Vision disturbances often consist of a scintillating scotoma (an area of partial alteration in the field of vision which flickers and may interfere with a person's ability to read or drive).
Yet, for models involving those types of cells, induction is either intravenous (leading to multiple site metastases [32], [33]) or follows a surgical procedure in which a patellar arthrotomia and partial alteration of the knee joint are susceptible to impaired locomotion, which in turn biases the evaluation of pain-related behavior.
Regarding the denatured whey protein isolates with polysaccharides mixtures, a segregative phase separation occurred due to the partial alteration of the protein structure from the globule form to the filament form, thus altering the hydrophobic cross-links and generating water-in-water emulsions with polysaccharides.
The latter consists in the loss or gain of whole chromosomes with aneuploidy and altered DNA copy number or in the partial alteration of chromosomes due to translocation, amplification, or deletion [ 17, 18].
These pilS cassettes can unidirectionally be transferred to the pilE expression locus, resulting in partial alteration of the pilin sequence.
However, depletion of macrophages has only led to partial alteration of skeletal muscle recovery after injury [ 3], [ 1], supporting the existence of alternative mechanisms to ensure the functions of macrophages.
