The phrase "alter relative to" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing changes or modifications in relation to a specific reference point or context.
Example: "The design will alter relative to the feedback we receive from the users."
Alternatives: "change in relation to" or "modify concerning".
In the dscDNA libraries from soil or litter samples, richness was significantly reduced and the composition was altered relative to sscDNA libraries.
When 75 mg pregabalin was combined with oxycodone some subjective effects were altered relative to placebo, in contrast to when each drug was tested alone.
"When we consider a species recovered, they may still in fact be altered relative to their original baseline," explained Fiorenza Micheli, a professor of marine ecology at Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station.
The results show that true chemical functionalisation was achieved and by argon ion bombardment these functional groups can be altered relative to the C 1s carbon atoms of the CNT.
This implies that the structure of water in the vicinity of PEG is considerably altered relative to the bulk state even though the activity coefficient of water remains nearly invariant in this range.
Their carbohydrate-inhibitable binding to asialofetuin, cell surfaces of three tumor lines, rabbit erythrocytes leading to haemagglutination and cytoplasmic sites in fixed tissue sections was not markedly altered relative to phosphate-free galectin-3.
Towards this end, an increasing number of bioinformatic approaches are being developed with the goal of distinguishing true cancer 'driver genes' from genes randomly perturbed by 'passenger' mutations9,13,14,15,16,17. The main methodology has been to look for recurrent mutations within a cohort, based on how often a gene is altered relative to an expected background rate9,13,14.
The properties of polymers near an interface are altered relative to their bulk value due both to chemical interaction and geometric confinement effects.
The interstitial water in these microniches can be dramatically altered, relative to ambient water, by biological processes, which produce geochemical conditions that favour carbonate precipitation.
Such studies have often observed that benthic macroinvertebrate communities in Appalachian streams receiving coal-mine discharge waters are altered, relative to communities inhabiting streams in unmined areas with no pollution sources.
