Conclusion

Can you please help me with two questions:

1. Which phrase is more appropriate here, "in conclusion" or "we conclude"?
2. Is there a phrase which would fit better in this context than "more successful"? The target meaning here is "more precise, more accurate".

Thank you in advance

Well, you got rid of some of the HTML code.

1) Can you please tell me if it is OK to say OF human cadaver model?-- 'Cadaver' is a grisly word.
