The phrase "alternative consists in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when explaining what an alternative option or solution entails or is based on.
Example: "The alternative consists in adopting a more sustainable approach to energy consumption."
Alternatives: "the alternative lies in" or "the alternative is based on".
Since the determination of the maxima can be unpractical in most concrete situations, a valid alternative consists in subtracting from the detected signal the optical noise measured independently by shooting the laser beam in open water.
The second, more fruitful alternative consists in introducing a new system of strict implication, still modeled on the Whitehead and Russell system of material implication, that will contain (all or a part of) extensional propositional logic as a proper part, but aspiring to completeness for at least strict implication.
An alternative consists in using a rough estimation, such a 10-3.
Another alternative consists in the use of search queries created from the alignment of known proteins families for database screening.
An interesting alternative consists in textile-based diffusers, where special optical fibers are integrated in a textile.
A recently inaugurated alternative consists in flushing the anatomical dead space with fresh gas – which is split off the regular ventilation circuit – bypassing the apparative dead space.
A reasonable alternative consists of generating responses in animal models and 'translating' those results to humans.
The final environmental impact statement for the project was published in mid-2008 and the preferred alternative consists of a two-lane road bypassing the village of Constantine.
To circumvent cumbersome experiments, an alternative approach consists in performing in silico studies.
As nano-sized silver particles direct characterization is rather difficult either by electron microscopy, XPS or XRD, an alternative method consists in studying their interaction with adsorbed molecule.
Two transmit power constraints are also considered: (1) the classical total transmit power constraint (also known as the sum power constraint), and (2) An alternative constraint consists in limiting the peak-to-average power ratio; it is useful in practical scenarios where keeping the operation point in the linearity range of the amplifiers is especially important.
