The phrase "altering the distance" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing changes to physical space, measurements, or metaphorical distances in relationships or situations.
Example: "The engineer is altering the distance between the two structures to improve stability."
Alternatives: "modifying the distance" or "changing the distance".
Several mechanical methods have previously been demonstrated for accomplishing this task which operates by altering the stress in a cantilever beam by altering the distance between a fixed tuning magnet and a magnet on the moving cantilever.
Sensitivity of a cantilever-mass based fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometer can efficiently be tailored by altering the distance between the axis of the FBG sensor to the neutral axis of the cantilever.
This work focuses on using this binding model and altering the distance between the DNA molecules and silicon surface by strategically placing thiol linkers within the pre-determined geometric design of the rectangularly shaped DNA.
These included altering the distance between the double-strand break (DSB) in the targeting vector and the inactivating mutation in the APRT target gene, and changing the position of the target gene mutation relative to the DSB to result in target mutations that were either upstream or downstream from the DSB.
This could reflect either that the −50 bp to +3 bp segment negatively regulates downstream promoter activity or that removal of this segment affects promoter activity by altering the distance between an upstream enhancer and the downstream promoter.
The UV dosages (J/cm) were varied by altering the distance of the sample (6.5, 17, and 28.5 cm) from the light source and by changing the treatment time (Table 1).
