It can be used when discussing changes or modifications that occur as a result of a reduction in quantity, size, or intensity.
Example: "The overall performance of the system was altered by the decrease in available resources."
Alternatives: "modified due to the reduction" or "changed as a result of the decline."
Thus, a complex and balanced interaction is probably behind the formation of the two states, as also suggested by additional experiments, in which the cellular excitability was altered by decreasing the temperature, adding extracellular calcium or activating background conductances.
This means that populations with genetic structures that have been artificially altered – by decreasing the amount of variation within the population or by reducing local adaptation – are at greater risk than those with more 'normative' genetic structure.
The homologous end of primer P1R was altered by decreasing the length from 45mer to 15mer.
The modified citrus pectin (MCP) used in this study, is composed of short, slightly-branched, carbohydrate chains derived from the soluble albedo fraction of citrus fruit peels altered by decreasing the molecular weight and degree of esterification using pH, temperature and a controlled enzymatic process, in order to increase its absorption into the circulatory system.
Cardiac output can be altered by a decrease in the sensitivity of baroreceptors, increased synthesis of catecholamine, and an increased heart rate [ 3, 4], while peripheral resistance may increase by alpha-1 adrenergic receptor hypersensitivity [ 5], endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerotic plaque formation [ 6].
Specifically a sputum sample should be requested if the healthcare provider suspects TB. Figure 10 shows that for those patients that do not drop out, the distribution of delays is significantly altered by a decrease in probability of sputum being requested.
Much of the petroleum of the Campos Basin has been altered by microbial degradation decreasing the value of the residual oil.
The width of the fabric can be altered by increasing or decreasing the number of active needles, allowing production of shaped fabrics, which when sewn together make fully fashioned garments.
Some of the alterations, such as increased marble burying, appeared to be directed by genotype alone, whereas others, such as ultrasound vocalization and social interaction, could be altered by either decreased reelin or by exposure to CPO.
Thirdly, in the aging process, drug metabolism is altered by decreased hepatic function (reduced hepatic blood flow and decreased liver mass and metabolic activity, including that of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system).
