The phrase "alterations and thus" is not correct and usable in written English as it lacks clarity and context.
It could be used in a context where you are discussing changes and their consequences, but it needs to be part of a more complete thought.
Example: "The alterations made to the design were significant, and thus, the final product was much improved."
Alternatives: "changes and therefore" or "modifications and consequently".
METHODS: We prospectively evaluated 15 patients with preexisting heart and/or lung disease to determine whether the use of invasive monitoring would allow early identification and treatment of these physiologic alterations and thus enable laparoscopy to be performed safely in this group of patients.
Thereby, low concentration of NO produced by eNOS serves to mitigate the hepatic microcirculation alterations and thus promotes cell survival.
CGH screens the entire genome for DNA copy number alterations, and thus yields vast quantities of information.
The designed algorithm explicitly corrects for copy number alterations, and thus does not demonstrate bias within the number of predicted sites in the regions of gain or loss.
Moreover, fibronectin plays an important role in these alterations, and thus resulting in the highly metastatic potentials of this cell line.
Whether human fetal intermittent strangulation by tCAN have similar brain protein alterations and thus long-term effects remains to be seen.
Morphological properties such as horizonation, soil fabric, root and worm casts, and redoximorphic features are resistant to alteration and thus are valuable as criteria.
Researchers' estimates of the extent of alteration and, thus, the time it took to make Mars varied wildly.
We screened 150 controls of exon 6 and found 1 normal control harbored the p. Arg257Trp alteration and, thus, we considered it to be a rare SNP that was not previously reported.
Furthermore, it was shown that one mechanism underlying the synergism displayed by the combination between minute doses of murine NGR TNF and doxorubicin was related to vascular barrier alteration and thus increased the uptake of this chemotherapeutic agent in tumours (Curnis et al, 2002).
These results suggest that bioclogging and biosurfactant MEOR is a potentially effective approach for pore morphology modification and thus flow alteration in porous media that can have a significant effect on oil recovery beyond that predicted by capillary number.
