The term "alteration rate" is correct and can be used in written English.
You can use it when referring to a rate of change, such as the rate at which something is altered over a certain period of time. For example, "The alteration rate of the company's policy was faster than predicted."
To further investigate, if detection level of nTARs alters in our two tissue subsets, we calculated the alteration rate between tissues, in case of gene-related nTARs corrected for gene expression changes.
After consumption of the portlandite, the glass alteration rate is expected to decrease.
The gel limits the transport of water from the solution to the glass (diffusion barrier); the alteration rate consequently decreases.
Normalized mass loss and alteration rate are calculated and linear regressions were carried out to statistically treat the experimental data.
A simple analytical calculation using the steady state approximation indicated the average alteration rate was about 1 cm/1000 years.
The initial amount of water is of 1 dm3 and the basaltic glass was sequentially added in order to simulate a constant alteration rate in a closed medium.
By considering an average surface temperature of 5 °C corresponding to those data, alteration rates can be recalculated at each temperature using the activation energy.
This model applied to nuclear glass provides reliable uncertainties on long-term alteration rates and demonstrates that present models used in the safety calculations are conservative.
Finally, we validated the assignments of PC molecular species by tissue MS/MS, particularly for molecules demonstrating considerable alteration rates in Table 2.
In addition, we examined RPN2- and HMGB1 alteration profiles in 195 CRC staged patients, available in the TCGA database, by ranking them according to their alteration rates (Additional file 2: Figure S2).
This is crucial to preserve tumour specific alterations, heterogeneity in mutation/copy-number alteration rates across patients and to let the SC significance be proportional to the gene set ME.
