The phrase "alter the observed" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes to perceptions, data, or phenomena that have been observed.
Example: "In scientific research, it is crucial to avoid any actions that might alter the observed results of the experiment."
Alternatives: "change the observed" or "modify the observed".
Any mutation along these pathways could alter the observed phenotype and may contribute to the broad clinical features observed in type I citrullinemia patients.
However, adjustment for height did not substantially alter the observed associations [see Supplemental Material, Technical Note 2 (doi:10.1289/ehp.1001943)].
Because traffic is our main source of interest, however, and because this result did not improve overall fit or alter the observed influence of traffic, we opted to maintain the more parsimonious original PM2.5 model.
Their choices of crop allocations alter the observed temporal heterogeneity and spatial pattern of cropped landscapes.
Nevertheless, the presence and relative position of the phosphorylated residue do alter the observed backbone fragmentation abundance.
Recent theoretical work has described how the properties of the probes and linkers can alter the observed kinetics from the intrinsic behavior of the molecule in isolation.
Although the grouting repair did not significantly alter the observed damage pattern after re-testing, it generally succeeded in preventing failure propagation through the injected crack paths.
The maximum dose in the specimens was 0.9 dpa, which is sufficient to achieve steady-state creep without the structural changes that alter the observed creep behavior.
Material strengthening and embrittlement are controlled by intrinsic interactions between defects, such as grain boundaries (GBs), and impurity atoms that alter the observed deformation and failure mechanisms in metals.
The ordination models derived from species and family abundances were very similar both in terms of location and dispersion effect, while further aggregation to the class level began to alter the observed spatial patterns.
Further, a 10-fold increase of J2s soaked in 0.1 mg/ml dsRNA did not significantly alter the observed phenotypic aberration, which suggests that dsRNA uptake of the soaked J2s is not saturated under these conditions.
