The phrase "alternative refinements" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing different methods or approaches to improve or enhance something.
Example: "The team proposed several alternative refinements to the original design to increase its efficiency."
Alternatives: "different improvements" or "various enhancements".
The effect of the starting structure on ensemble refinement was assessed by using alternative refinement programs, phenix.refine, Refmac (Vagin et al., 2004), and Buster (Bricogne et al., 2009), to generate varying input models.
The alternative mesh refinement criteria allow to obtain the maximum of accuracy for a prescribed cost.
In this paper we propose the use of alternative mesh refinement with an h-adaptive procedure for 3D elastic problems.
In this paper, we propose the use of alternative mesh refinement criteria with an h-adaptive procedure for 3D elastic problems.
The alternative mesh refinement criteria (MR) are based on: prescribed number of elements with maximum accuracy, prescribed CPU time with maximum accuracy and prescribed memory size with maximum accuracy.
It is noteworthy that the primary (hkl) crystallographic data relating to the original measurements has been provided upon request [40] and so further analysis of alternative crystallographic refinement models is now possible.
A number of alternatives and refinements to the original four-factor reprogramming method have been devised over the years.
The single structure re-refinements used the same starting structure as the ensemble refinements (alternative conformations were not removed) and were re-refined using phenix.refine (version 1.7.1) (Afonine et al., 2012) and Buster (version 2.10.0) (Bricogne et al., 2009).
However, digital tools can also magnify and accelerate the iterative process by exposing alternatives, improvements, and refinements to a wider audience.
