The phrase "alteration of surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes or modifications made to a surface, such as in art, construction, or scientific studies.
Example: "The alteration of surface texture can significantly impact the adhesion properties of the material."
Alternatives: "modification of surface" or "change in surface".
Such alteration of surface energy balance due to irrigation can potentially alter the climate system at varying scales by making the lower atmosphere cooler and supplying additional moisture into the atmosphere, which we discuss in the next section.
The cooling efficiency was evaluated by means of the resulting alteration of surface integrity.
This result suggests an alteration of surface properties under low irradiation doses.
Some recent agricultural practices involve wholescale relandscaping of the topography and alteration of surface properties of material.
Several dynamic surface tension parameters were investigated as measures of alteration of surface activity in Survanta-powder solutions.
In that case a decrease of compressive stress as well as an alteration of surface structure of the deposited c-BN films was observed.
Stabilization of structure and texture without alteration of surface-chemical properties is a result of the high dispersion of the silica dopant throughout the aerogel's bulk.
LPA has wide-ranging influence on cell physiology and pathophysiology, including increases in cytokine and growth factor expression, alteration of surface-protein trafficking and modulation of transcription [ 103, 104].
Irrigation and other alterations of surface and underground water are increasing the vulnerability of hydrologic systems and the people that depend on these precious water sources.
A related debate centers on whether these morphologic alterations of surface epithelium are more prevalent in the ovaries of women who have developed EOC or are at high genetic risk for EOC, and there are conflicting data with respect to both issues.
Next we sought to examine if the changes in rolling and adhesion were mirrored in alterations of surface adhesion molecules.
