The phrase "alteration in shape" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes in physical form, structure, or appearance of an object or entity.
Example: "The alteration in shape of the sculpture was evident after the artist made several modifications."
Alternatives: "change in form" or "modification in structure".
Deformation and flow, in physics, alteration in shape or size of a body under the influence of mechanical forces.
Having suffered this alteration in shape, the retinal presumably causes some instability in the opsin, making it, too, change its shape, and thereby exposing to the medium in which it is bathed chemical groupings that were previously shielded by being enveloped in the centre of the molecule.
Thus, the alteration in shape when Fgf8 gene dosage is reduced does not seem to directly 'reverse' or 'undo' the shape change in the Neo/Null mutation; rather, it provides a compensatory change that facilitates fusion.
This implies that, any movement or alteration of the limbs, trunk and head which alters the body's shape whether above or below the surface of water will produce rotational effects, the amount of which depends on the degree of displacement, as will occur in any alteration in shape due to disability.
DIAPH3 mutation leads to an overexpression of DIAPH3 protein [ 20], which may result in an alteration in shape of the dendritic spines in the distal portions of auditory nerve fibers [ 22] and delayed impairment of hair-cell function, leading to profound deafness and disappearance of OAEs over time.
A three-dimensional model of the RhoGAP-related domain constructed by threading of Phypa7 on known Rho or RacGAP domain structures (Additional file 6) indeed confirmed a local alteration in shape and charge of the conserved GTPase interaction interface, while the overall conformation of the molecule appears preserved.
Aberrant spine morphology, including alterations in shape, size, and number, are common in different brain diseases.
The changes correspond to tumor enlargement, alterations in shape or color, regression, and appearance of dermoscopic features SCM.
Activation results in extensive remodelling of the mφ transcriptome, leading to morphological and physiological changes in the cell, including; alterations in shape, mobility and cell surface marker expression.
During tubulogenesis such a material is normally secreted by the surrounding epithelial cells to coordinate alterations in shape resulting in a correct lumen dimension [ 19].
In addition to the decrease of the villus height, light microscopic investigations revealed further alterations in shape and surface of the villus (Fig. 1d i).
