The phrase "interface by which" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used to describe the means or method through which something is communicated or connected. It is often used in technical or scientific writing. Example: "The new software includes an interface by which users can easily connect to multiple devices simultaneously."
The interface by which such manipulations are specified is called the query language.
Graph theory provides both an intuitively appealing interface by which humans can model highly interacting sets of variables and a data structure that lends itself naturally to the design of efficient general-purpose algorithms.
If you look at code itself, rather than considering the resulting program, we could look at something like Shape [an abstract class that defines an interface by which shapes like circles and rectangles can be manipulated in C++], which I borrowed from Simula.
The Web portal also provides an administrative Web interface by which service providers can add, remove, and manage channels, users, and subscriptions.
This repeated stretching emulates the breathing motions in the alveolar-capillary tissue interface, by which the transport of silica NPs (12 nm in diameter) or carboxylated Cd/Se quantum dots (16 nm in diameter) from the alveolar side (i.e. upper microchannel) to the capillary side (i.e. lower microchannel) is significantly enhanced compared to the static control.
The planes are intended to ground the three-dimensional nature of the sample within a tangible environment and provide an interface by which aspects of each mode (say, for the MSI mode, peptide intensity) can be selected for a given slice through the sample.
Z is a generation that would seem to claim San Francisco as its cultural capital, the place where the apps and interfaces by which it learns the world were made.
Second, it compares two different interfaces by which mechanical ventilation is applied: invasive mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube and NIV applied via a nasal prong.
Together, these modules identify the critical interfaces by which the kinetochore, microtubules and the cytoplasm exchange information to determine spindle assembly checkpoint activity.
A distinctive feature of this environment is the availability of two interfaces by which a curator can edit the genome annotations, one that enables editing of fields associated with either the gene models or functions encoded by a single genome and another that enables manual curation of functional annotations for orthologous sets of genes and the gene membership within an orthologous group.
We are also developing methodology to use eGIFT to inform our GP interface by analyzing which genes have the most functional literature available.
