The phrase "altering the degree" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing changes in intensity, level, or extent of something, such as in academic or technical contexts.
Example: "The researchers focused on altering the degree of temperature to observe its effects on the chemical reaction."
Alternatives: "modifying the level" or "changing the extent".
Preformulation design variables indicated that relative ratios of phospholipids, considerably influences NL size, thus altering the degree of drug loading in the formulation.
The number of hydrolyzable ester bonds in the formed crosslinks may be controlled by altering the degree of methacrylation on the alginate polymer backbone.
Digital fountain-based approaches in the AL-FEC design category [8 10] mainly rely on altering the degree distribution and source symbol selection process to provide UEP across different source layers.
As a result of cell growth, the magnitude of G′ and G″ increased at low frequencies while also altering the degree of high frequency dependence, indicating that cellular interactions with the micro-pore infrastructure has a profound effect on the viscoelastic behavior of the substrates.
The mechanical properties of the cell wall can be modulated by enzymatically altering the degree of cross-linking between existing cell wall polymers or by the addition of new cell wall material.
More distal placement of glutamate receptors on the head of neuronal spines, compared to GABA receptors, also might dilute the intensity of IPSP states at the soma and axon hillock induced by glutamatergic blockade, altering the degree of disinhibition passed on to output targets such as ventral pallidum, lateral hypothalamus or ventral tegmentum.
With the 3-D printer, the researchers were able to make springboards of different thicknesses to alter the degree of curling, optimizing the movement.
Affected pianists can often "play" if they do it on a tabletop, rather than on a keyboard — or if they wear rubber gloves, or if the keys they press don't make sounds, or if they alter the degree to which they curve or extend their fingers — and guitarists and violinists can sometimes flawlessly manipulate instruments that have no strings.
These changes in hillslope morphology have altered the degree to which soil erosion processes operating in these areas are spatially coupled.
Although the state of frictional condition changes toward the dip direction, such structural heterogeneity could locally alter the degree of interplate coupling and the state of slip along the trench axis.
Moreover, all stock markets are observed to fall strongly at the beginning of the global financial crisis and we do not find any evidence that the crisis altered the degree of stock market integration among these groups of countries.
