Example: "After evaluating all the options, we concluded that a preferable method for data collection is through surveys."
Alternatives: "a more suitable approach" or "a better technique".
Embedding discrete fractures in reservoir simulation model is thus a preferable method to attain more realistic reservoir behavior.
The Kalman filter was originally developed for real-time applications, thus it is a preferable method to be used for this purpose.
Electrospinning technique with the ability to mimic the structure and function of an extracellular matrix is a preferable method to customize the scaffold features.
The midpoint rule is a symplectic time integrator for Hamiltonian systems, which may be a preferable method to solve the spatially discretized evolution equation.
While PCA and ICA are powerful methods that allow one to take a closer look into the structure of the data, a preferable method would preserve physical information in the data and allow fully quantitative analysis.
Managed Realignment (MR) schemes are considered by many coastal managers and engineers to be a preferable method of coastal flood defence and compensating for habitat loss, by creating new areas of intertidal saltmarsh and mudflat habitat.
Although sometimes effective, the loss of restriction function is always associated with loss of modification function, which means the phenotype will be reversed when the cells recovered from abnormal conditions; Inactivation of the RM system [38], which is a clean and preferable method, but often limited by the availability of the genetic tools.
This test uses spectral count statistics to measure differential protein expression in pairwise experiments, and has been found to be a reliable and preferable method when two replicates are available in label-free proteomics experiments [ 20].
A more accurate and preferable method is to substitute new unit prices for all the specific resource inputs in the Cost-It template (e.g. the price of a drug or the unit cost of an outpatient attendance).
We used this method in the absence of a preferable WTP method.
However findings from this study suggest that the provision of care within a community setting as part of a well-structured outreach programme may be preferable method of service delivery within a resource-constrained context.
