The phrase "alternatives to optimize" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing different methods or options for improving efficiency or effectiveness in a particular context.
Example: "We need to explore alternatives to optimize our workflow and reduce costs."
Alternatives: "options for enhancement" or "substitutes for improvement".
It is likely that the incremental approach to infrastructure planning, which has been the dominant approach for decades, perpetuates a planning culture which contradicts the requirements for sustainability transitions, by limiting the scope of alternatives to optimizing the status quo instead of creating conditions for change.
It was proved that this function is a reliable alternative to optimize simultaneously the composition of the mobile phase (pH, ionic strength, and organic modifier concentration) and the instrumental variables (flow rate).
As an alternative to optimizing directly the log-likelihood function (19), the EM algorithm [40] is well suited to solve optimization problems for mixture models and is simple to implement.
An alternative option was to optimize the grouping of accessions by maximizing the Fst among the species or among combinations of species.
To address these compatibility issues while maintaining a high performance, a number of researchers have been looking at alternative approaches to optimize the existing traditional protocol stacks.
However, in the past few years, rational protein design and directed evolution have emerged as efficient alternative methods to optimize biocatalytic reactions.
Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses can be conducted that yield the following primary benefits: (1) quantification of uncertainty in the simulated performance metrics; (2) identification of parameters most important to performance; and (3) comparison of alternative designs to optimize cost and performance.
The present investigation showed that the gas distributor had a critical impact on the gas-particle contact efficiency in the gas solid two-phase system in the spouted bed, and CFD is a good alternative tool to optimize the spouted bed design in researching the coating process of the UO2 kernel.
Whitfill (2008) proposed an alternative approach to optimize bridging considering fracture width instead of pore throat sizes.
