The phrase "approach is useful as" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the effectiveness or applicability of a particular method or strategy in a specific context.
Example: "The new teaching approach is useful as a means to engage students more effectively in the learning process."
Alternatives: "approach is beneficial as" or "approach serves as".
While this modelling approach is useful as a validation method, NAM itself is also an important tool for investigation.
In this time window, our experiments showed that our approach is useful as more drivers were able to complete their trips compared to the fixed pricing approach.
This approach is useful, as every dataset contains many elements which cannot be part of a fiber, for example background voxels and low valued image noise.
This approach is useful as it considers the variations in infrastructure design and resilience across different areas, however it is reliant on specialist knowledge about the design and relative resilience of numerous sectors for each location.
The proposed approach is useful as a complement to vision based classification, where road-users classes can be difficult due to partial occlusion or when the extraction of physical characteristics (descriptive features) of road-users does not provide enough details to reveal the correct type of a road-user.
This approach is useful as an alternative to rapid kinetics when the initial rate is too fast to measure accurately.
Another critical issue is the interpretation of molecular phylogenies and TMRCAs; to our view, such genetic approaches are useful as long as they ask questions adapted to the data to which they apply, i.e., questions related to the genealogy of molecules and not to the history of populations.
We conclude that the coupled semi-quantitative approach is useful at the village level as it generated meaningful insights into local land use change dynamics without the need for long-term and data-intensive studies.
The latter approach was useful as many filamentous fungi express several LaeA homologs (Christian P. Kubicek, unpublished data; Jiang et al. 2011).
This suggests that both approaches are useful as they produce complementary findings.
From an engineering viewpoint, an instrument-independent emotion approach is useful for robot portability as well.
