The phrase "alternatively prior" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It seems to attempt to suggest an alternative that comes before something else, but the phrasing is awkward and unclear.
Example: "You could choose to follow the standard procedure; alternatively prior, you might consider the new guidelines."
Alternatives: "on the other hand before" or "instead beforehand".
Alternatively, prior information was incorporated for a posteriori probability (APP) demapping in [7, 8], which was applied to iterative demapping and decoding for bit interleaved coded modulation.
Alternatively prior antibiotic use may also have affected the rates of colonization in our sample.
Alternatively, prior phosphorylation of Thr is required for the phosphorylation of Thr.
Alternatively, prior to mastectomy, radiological tumour size, analysis of core-biopsies and SNLB could be used to assess the likelihood of PMR, thereby facilitating patient selection.
Alternatively, prior to transfer into patients, T cells can be stimulated ex vivo with human artificial antigen-presenting cells that express co-stimulatory ligands (Singh et al., 2011); this process has the potential to improve function in vivo.
Alternatively, prior to nuclear extractions, U937 cells were incubated with 10 ng ml−1 of TNF- α alone or in addition to various doses of glutathione ethyl-ester (GSH-OEt, Sigma).
Or alternatively, incorporating prior information in a Bayesian framework may lead to increases in power.
Alternatively, a prior can be elicited based on expert knowledge of the intervention.
Alternatively, with prior information of the sample, assays can be designed, which target and quantify specific peptides of interest.
Alternatively, categorizing prior and concurrent blood lead concentrations by the corresponding medians in the regression model had similar results (Table 4).
Alternatively, some prior studies reporting large associations between lithium treatment and reduced suicide risk may have been biased by inadequately controlled initial confounding or differences in selection occurring during treatment [ 10, 11].
