The phrase "a more precise tool" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when comparing tools or methods, emphasizing that one is more accurate or specific than another.
Example: "In our research, we found that using a more precise tool allowed us to gather better data for our analysis."
Alternatives: "a more accurate instrument" or "a finer tool."
The seven-year-old field of optogenetics has given neuroscientists a more precise tool to examine the connections between the groups of neurons that set up neuronal circuits.
The first observation of a cosmic effect theorized 40 years ago could provide astronomers with a more precise tool for understanding the forces behind the universe's formation and growth, including the enigmatic phenomena of dark energy and dark matter.
Because Korčak's law (Korcak 1940) considers only the size of the patches, the perimeter-area scaling law has been considered as a more precise tool for measuring the fractal dimension.
Accelerometers provide a more precise tool of assessing amount and intensity of PA, and should preferably be included if feasible in studies where these dimensions are considered important.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.04493.006 To make a more precise tool (depicted in Figure 1C), we fused the codon-optimized ligand-binding domain of the human progesterone receptor to the Flp recombinase, making recombinase activity dependent on the presence of RU486. Figure 3 shows a test of this construct, pJFRC108-20XUAS-IVS-hPR::Flp-p10, which we call UAS-Flp-Switch.
Additionally, when spatial information is important for such modeling, a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is considered to be more precise tool to model biochemical processes in both space and time dimension [ 3- 5].
Schwartz is co-chairman, with National Human Genome Research Institute director Francis Collins, of the NIH Coordinating Committee for the Genes and Environment Initiative, a just-launched research effort that aims to develop more precise tools that could be useful in a large cohort study.
Such a corpus provides a large-scale resource for enabling the development of more precise tools that address disease name recognition and normalization.
Tandem mass spectrometry, a relatively recent introduction, can serve as a more precise identification tool as parent and daughter ions are analysed and higher selectivity is obtained.
Accordingly, a more precise prognostic tool is needed to identify patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy as well as patients for which adjuvant therapy can be safely omitted.
But the strategic volte-face is clear: America has decided that conventional wars of uncertain outcome in Iraq and Afghanistan that may, according to a Brown University study, end up costing at least $3.7 trillion are a bad way to fight terrorists and that far cheaper, more precise tools for eliminating enemies are preferable — even if the legality of those killings is debatable.
