The phrase "altering the distance of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing changes to spatial relationships or measurements, such as in physics, engineering, or design.
Example: "The experiment involved altering the distance of the sensors to observe the effect on data accuracy."
Alternatives: "modifying the distance of" or "changing the distance of".
As such, changes in the target altitude will alter the distance of both direct path and multipath, generating Doppler variations with opposite signs around the nominal Doppler signature [4].
To identify key nucleotides required for GlnR binding, complementary oligonucleotides were designed to mutate or alter the distance of key residues and annealed to generate DNA fragments for EMSAs (Additional file 9: Table S4).
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.
"We have to be really accurate because we don't have sweepers to help alter the distance and direction of the stones," explains Neilson.
Changes in the electronic structure can lead to a change in the intensity or wavelength of light absorption or emission, while changes in the molecular structure can alter the distance or orientation between a pair of fluorophores that serve as a donor acceptor pair.
However, in the case of RNA-Seq reads, in contrast to genomic DNA reads, the insert size cannot always be used to identify the correct mate, as the presence of introns can alter the distance between mates.
In particular, there has been a number of studies involving altering distance functions which alter the distance between two points in a metric space.
Dilatancy is defined as: "The increase in volume of a fixed amount of certain materials, as of wet sand, subjected to a deformation that alters the interparticle distances of its constituents from their minimum-value configuration".
The first-named locality is richest in fossils; and here there is a greenstone dyke, parallel to the bedding of the rock, and altering the shales for a distance of about four yards from the edge of the dyke.
