The phrase "thereby defining" is correct and commonly used in written English.
It is often used to indicate that something will be defined or explained by a certain action or process. Example: "By providing a clear definition of the term, the author is thereby defining the scope of their argument." In this sentence, the phrase "thereby defining" is used to show that the act of providing a definition is what defines the scope of the author's argument.
Immunological and mass spectrometry techniques are used to analyze crosslinked complexes, thereby defining specific interactomes.
As the 'unravelling' of the 1st level serpentine approaches its end, the strain in the materials begin to increase rapidly, thereby defining the practical limit in stretchability.
Our findings show that RAP2 is a molecular switch in mechanotransduction, thereby defining a mechanosignalling pathway from ECM stiffness to the nucleus.
In reductive terms a composition under the system will begin with a three-note chord, and proceed by extrapolating on its intervals, thereby defining the terms of any improvisation.
The problem, Mr. DePalma says, is that the participants, mostly academics, spent their time scrutinizing the differences between Canada and the United States, thereby defining Canadian culture in terms of "what it is not rather than what it is".
Furthermore, we created compendia of sulfenylated proteins in human and plants based on mass spectrometry experiments, thereby defining the current plant and human sulfenomes.
We aimed to evaluate whether these species differed in their ability to establish in different landforms, thereby defining the species distribution across this ecotone.
J. Murdoch Richie, who served as Chairman of the Department from 1971 197474 pioneered the use of neurotoxins to prove the existence of discrete ion channel sites in neurons, thereby defining our modern understanding of nerve conductions and excitability.
The slow or fast harmonic rhythm of a composition helps define its musical character, and by varying the harmonic rhythm within a piece a composer can create contrast, thereby defining sections of musical form.
This is accomplished by investigating the spatial correlations in the transforming system via the calculation of several non-equilibrium,n-point correlation functions and thereby defining associated transformation fractions and correlation lengths.
The nature and activities of these networks are dictated by the DNA in the cell and the history of the cell's environment, thereby defining the ways in which engineers can influence cellular function.
