30. Gauge coupling unification can be achieved even when d, t0, t > 0 by adding colored multiplets or introducing an intermediate scale in the theory. U. Amaldi, et al., Phys. Lett. B 281, 374 (1992);

We note that the fine tuning involved to maintain gauge coupling unification in such models is much less objectionable as compared to the fine tuning involved in Eq. (14). Since in this case the bounds (16) and (17) depend on the unknown triplet vacuum expectation values y2, they are not calculable in terms of gluino mass only. We, therefore, consider the simplest choice (19) in this paper.
