The phrase "as a substantial improvement" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing enhancements or advancements in a particular context, such as a project, process, or product.
Example: "The new software update is being released as a substantial improvement over the previous version."
Alternatives: "as a significant enhancement" or "as a major upgrade."
Within a 3-year EU funded project, a new AGM valve-regulated lead acid battery with weight and volume substantially reduced, as well as a substantial improvement in its reliability, is under development.
Created as a hybrid of the nv and ivs codecs, Intra-H.261 provides a factor of 2 3 improvement in compression gain over the nv encoder (6 dB of PSNR) as well as a substantial improvement in run-time performance over the ivs H.261 coder.
Over a 2-month period the patient's anti-GM-CSF titer was lowered, as well as a substantial improvement in their oxygen saturation and chest radiograph.
However, in situations where the KMSK is the only instrument used for assessment of SUD, the higher cutoff of 7 is likely to be better, as a substantial improvement in PPP is achieved with only a slight decrement of NPP.
Well, while there have been promises of standard-sized G1 batteries that are able to pack in as much as 1400mAh, a substantial improvement over the standard battery, they've been slow to be released (if released at all).
As final result, a substantial improvement over the baseline system was obtained using the HRC feature, with a 78.28% recognition rate on a commonly used dataset.
The SBR technology in combination with AAC as standardized in MPEG under the name High Efficiency AAC (also known as aacPlus) offers a substantial improvement in compression efficiency compared to previous state-of-the-art codecs.
As a result, a substantial improvement of the DC current gain (by a factor of 2 3) and high-frequency operation performances (with fT and fMAX values up to 10 GHz) can be easily achieved with the proper use of varying base thickness XB and dopant-graded base.
We believe this was the right decision, as we observed a substantial improvement in survival with the new therapeutic concept for patients with solitary metastasis.
Investigations are going on to reduce the strains in the heterostructures [34, 41], as this leads to a substantial improvement in the photocurrent density and spectral response of solar cells [39, 40] as well as in the photoemission efficiency of such structures [29, 32, 42].
Based on the results of our performance simulations the performance overhead of the M-TREE integrity check mechanism is as small as 14% in the worst case, a substantial improvement over the 60% slowdown reported by previously proposed techniques.
