description: We report the study of the helicity-driven photocurrents in graphene excited by midinfrared light of a CO2 laser. Illuminating an unbiased monolayer sheet of graphene with circularly polarized radiation generates— under oblique incidence—an electric current perpendicular to the plane of incidence, whose sign is reversed by switching the radiation helicity. We show that the current is caused by the interplay of the circular ac Hall effect and the circular photogalvanic effect. By studying the frequency dependence of the current in graphene layers grown on the SiC substrate, we observe that the current exhibits a resonance at frequencies matching the longitudinal optical phonon in SiC.

description: Stranski-Krastanov strained islands undergo a shape anisotropy transition as they grow in size, finally evolving toward nanowires. This effect has been explained until now via simple energetic models that neglect thermodynamics. We investigate theoretically the stability of strained nanowires under thermal fluctuations of the long side. We find phase transitions from nanowires back to nanoislands as the temperature is increased and as the height of the nanostructure is raised or lowered and we predict regions of phase coexistence. Our results are general, but explain recent data on the growth of erbium silicide on a vicinal Si surface.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are phase II enzymes involved in the microcystin (MC) induced detoxication processes. In this study we analyze and compare the metabolism of MC-LR by the cytosolic GSTs from gills and hepatopancreas of Ruditapes philippinarum. Cytosolic GSTs were purified by glutathione (GSH)–agarose affinity chromatography from exposed and non-exposed bivalves to MC-LR (100 µg/L) representing the inducible and constitutive (Basal) GST fractions, respectively. For each mixture, we examined the in vitro cytosolic GST inhibition efficiency of the conjugation of CDNB to GSH by MC-LR and characterize the inhibition mechanism. Results support the important role of GST enzymes in detoxification of MCs in bivalve mollusks

description: Many models for coronal loops have difficulty explaining the observed EUV brightness of the transition region, which is often significantly less than theoretical models predict. This discrepancy has been addressed by a variety of approaches including filling factors and time-dependent heating. Here we focus on an effect that has been ignored so far: the absorption of EUV light with wavelengths below 912 Å by the resonance continua of neutral hydrogen and helium. Such absorption is expected to occur in the low-lying transition region of hot, active region loops, that is co-located with cool chromospheric features and called ``moss'' as a result of the reticulated appearance resulting from the absorption. We use co-temporal and co-spatial spectroheliograms obtained with SOHO/SUMER and Hinode/EIS of Fe XII 1242 Å, 195 Å and 186.88 Å, and compare the density determination from the 186/195 Å line ratio to that resulting from the 195/1242 Å line ratio. We find significant absorption of 195 Å emission caused by the chromospheric inclusions in the moss. We find that the amount of absorption is generally of order a factor of 2. We compare to numerical models and show that the observed effect is well reproduced by 3D radiative MHD models of the transition region and corona. We use STEREO A/B data of the same active region and find that increased angles between line-of-sight and local vertical cause additional absorption. Our determination of the amount of chromospheric absorption of TR emission can be used to better constrain coronal heating models.

Medical understandings of lifestyle : an interpretive study of 'lifestyle' as a medical explanatory framework
Creators: name: Hansen, EC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis provides an overview of lifestyle as a medical explanatory concept, explicating contemporary medical understandings of lifestyle and situating these within a wider social and historical framework. It argues that ideas about lifestyle have a long history in medical thought but that what is meant by lifestyle and how this is seen as relating states of sickness and health has shifted according to audience and time period. This thesis also addresses the sociological critique of a lifestyle approach to health and disease. It argues that this critique has focused on medical understandings of lifestyle only as an epidemiological and public health concept. This has resulted in a neglect of wider medical understandings and the constructions of individual doctors. This lacunae in sociological knowledge is addressed through empirical investigation of wider medical understandings of lifestyle within the framework of an interpretive qualitative study of medical texts, in-depth interviews with doctors from a variety of different medical specialities, observation of doctor/patient consultations and participant observation during medical consultations. The results of this analysis demonstrate that while the sociological critique of a lifestyle approach to health, and disease does reflect many features of the wider medical understandings of lifestyle found in this project, that there is no single unified medical conception of lifestyle. Instead lifestyle is a shifting medical concept that is interpreted and applied differently between different medical fields, and between different medical doctors. Furthermore, as an explanatory concept, lifestyle has several features which make it an unusual and extremely useful medical concept. These features include flexibility, the ability to explain health and not just disease, the capacity to utilise lay understandings and offering the capacity for the self management of risk.

Year: 2021

description: This document describes the Q1-Q17 DR24 TCERT Vetting products - a collection of plots and diagnostics used by the Threshold Crossing Event Review Team (TCERT) to evaluate threshold crossing events (TCEs). While designation of Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs) and classification of them as Planet Candidates (PCs) or False Positives (FPs) is completely automated via a robotic vetting procedure for the Q1-Q17 DR24 planet catalog described in Coughlin et al. (2015), these products help to evaluate those robotic decisions for individual objects. For each TCE identified in the Q1-Q17 DR24 transit search, these products collect in one readily accessible place: (a) the DV one-page summary, (b) selected pertinent diagnostics and plots from the full DV report, and (c) supplemental plots and diagnostics not included in the full DV report, including an alternate means of data detrending. This document describes each plot in detail, and how it can be used to evaluate the various data sources to determine if a TCE is a PC or FP. This dataset or service is made available by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. For decades, okadaic acid has been broadly detected in Galician Rías causing frequent bans of shellfish harvesting. In addition, the presence of 13-desmethyl SPX C has been commonly recorded in seawater and shellfish from the same area since LC-MS/MS started to used routinely to check the presence of lipophilic toxins. This work tryes to elucidate if sediment profiles could be an useful tool to study the incidence of harmful events in the past. For that reason, sediment samples from different locations of the Galician coast (rías of Ares-Betanzos, Arosa, Muros and Pontevedra) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS in order to evaluate the presence of lipophilic toxins in sediments. The method includes the following toxins: yessotoxin; okadaic acid; DTX-1; PTX-2; 13 desmethyl SPX C; 13, 19 didesmethyl SPX C; Pinnatoxin F and Pinnatoxin G, Gymnodimine, azaspiracids 1-5, and the tentative identification of other toxins. 13 desmethyl SPX C, okadaic acid and PTX-2 were often detected above the LOQ of the LC-MS/MS method in all the studied Rías. Levels of 13 desmethyl SPX C are slightly higher than those of PTX-2. Okadaic acid is the toxin that reaches the highest concentrationin some samples maximum concentration was found in subsurficial sediments (Arosa, Muros and Pontevedra Rías)

description: The existence of a spin-orbit coupling (SOC) induced by the gradient of the effective mass in low-dimensional heterostructures is revealed. In structurally asymmetric quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures the presence of a mass gradient across the interfaces results in a SOC which competes with the SOC created by the electric field in the valence band. However, in graded quantum wells subjected to an external electric field, the mass-gradient induced SOC can be finite even when the electric field in the valence band vanishes.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The GAP2 Project’s Baltic Sea Case Study is actively contributing into development of the actual Maritime Spatial Plan (MSP) for the Pärnu County’s sea area in Pärnu Bay (Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea). Allocation of marine space for feed-mussel farming with aim to clean the water and to produce the high quality mussel biomass for feed production in line with the EU Blue Growth aspirations is an emerging issue for the Pärnu Bay MSP process. By counteracting eutrophication the feed-mussel farming is contributing to a process of 'closing the nutrient loop'. However, mussel farms compete for space with e.g. coastal fishery, recreation and tourism in the Pärnu Bay. Due to low salinity of Pärnu Bay waters and because of voracious filter feeding ability the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) was chosen as the potential candidate for feed-mussel farming

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The ongoing sustainable management of aquaculture activities in Belfast Lough requires a holistic approach, incorporating assessment of both seabed and wider ecosystem impacts. “Black box” data from mussel dredgers has been utilised to ascertain levels of activity across licensed sites, as a proxy for determining seafloor abrasion. A multibeam echosounder survey provided unique seabed texture imagery that allowed the distribution of dredge marks to be examined and compared to black box data. In addition, an ecosystem model permitted assessment of impact to wild species from blue mussel cultivation. Together, these allow monitoring of the wider impacts of mussel cultivation and how such tools should be utilised in management.

We obtained a sheet carrier density of Ns~5-9x 10E13 cm^-2, an effective mass of m*~3m_e, and a strongly frequency dependent mobility. The latter are similar as in bulk SrTi1-xNbxO3 and therefore suggestive of polaronic correlations of the confined carriers. We also determined the vertical density profile which has a strongly asymmetric shape with a rapid initial decay over the first 2 nm and a pronounced tail that extends to about 11 nm.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Commercial aquaculture of geoduck clams (Panopea generosa) in the northeastern Pacific is an intertidal, multi-year operation characterized by repeated punctuated habitat disturbance events that frequently raises tension among resource managers, environmental organizations, and the general public. Yet, the cultivation of this valuable, long-lived, native species has the potential to relieve commercial harvest pressure on wild populations and reduce disturbance of subtidal soft-bottom habitats. As part of a state-mandated research program to evaluate potential environmental impacts of geoduck culture methods, we collected data describing the diversity and abundance of resident fauna within beach sands and the larger fish, crabs, and other animals that visit these areas during high tide. Our results show short-lived, localized effects to some groups of organisms in a few areas. Despite evidence of minimal ecological impact, conflict among stakeholders continues unabated. Here we describe the ecological assessment of geoduck farming practices as well as an ongoing investigation into the complexities of the social landscape. We underscore the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach to assess stakeholder perspectives and integrate science and policy.
Error rates of Belavkin weighted quantum measurements and a converse to Holevo's asymptotic optimality theorem

description: We compare several instances of pure-state Belavkin weighted square-root measurements from the standpoint of minimum-error discrimination of quantum states. The quadratically weighted measurement is proven superior to the so-called "pretty good measurement" (PGM) in a number of respects: (1) Holevo's quadratic weighting unconditionally outperforms the PGM in the case of two-state ensembles, with equality only in trivial cases. (2) A converse of a theorem of Holevo is proven, showing that a weighted measurement is asymptotically optimal only if it is quadratically weighted. Counterexamples for three states are constructed. The cube-weighted measurement of Ballester, Wehner, and Winter is also considered. Sufficient optimality conditions for various weights are compared.

description: Let F_n be families of entire functions, holomorphically parametrized by a complex manifold M. We consider those parameters in M that correspond to nonescaping-hyperbolic functions, i.e., those maps f in F_n for which the postsingular set P(f) is a compact subset of the Fatou set F(f) of f. We prove that if F_n converge to a family F in the sense of a certain dynamically sensible metric, then every nonescaping-hyperbolic component in the parameter space of F is a kernel of a sequence of nonescaping-hyperbolic components in the parameter spaces of F_n. Parameters belonging to such a kernel do not always correspond to hyperbolic functions in F. Nevertheless, we show that these functions must be J-stable. Using quasiconformal equivalences, we are able to construct many examples of families to which our results can be applied.

Contrary to the common belief that delocalization should persist in such a system against any disorder, as the system is ex-pected to be equivalent to a disordered two-dimensional Dirac Fermionic system, we find that states near the Dirac points are localized for sufficiently strong disorder and the transition between the localized and delocalized states is of Kosterlitz-Thouless type. Our results show that the transition originates from bounding and unbounding of local current vortices.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Two methods to assess time series of ecological indicators are combined into an assessment framework. The first method is based on break point analysis (BPA) and can be used to determine stable states within the indicator time series. BPA is therefore helpful to derive absolute assessment benchmarks. The second method is based on ARIMA-modelling of time series and is helpful to assess short- and midterm effectiveness of management measures. Both methods are embedded into a workflow of time series-based indicator assessment to complement the strength and weaknesses of each method.

description: We present results from a sensitive search for CO J=1-0 line emission in two z> 6.5 Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) with the Green Bank Telescope. CO J=1-0 emission was not detected from either object. For HCM 6A, at z ~ 6.56, the lensing magnification factor of ~4.5 implies that the CO non-detection yields stringent constraints on the CO J=1-0 line luminosity and molecular gas mass of the LAE, L'(CO) < 6.1x10^9 x (dV/300)^(1/2) K km/s pc^2 and M(H_2) < 4.9x10^9 x (dV/300)^(1/2) x (X(CO)/0.8) Msun. These are the strongest limits obtained so far for a z >~ 6 galaxy. For IOK-1, the constraints are somewhat less sensitive, L'(CO) < 2.3x10^10 x (dV/300)^(1/2) K km/s pc^2 and M(H_2) < 1.9x10^10 x (dV/300)^(1/2) x (X(CO)/0.8) Msun. The non-detection of CO J=1-0 emission in HCM~6A, whose high estimated star formation rate, dust extinction, and lensing magnification make it one of the best high-z LAEs for such a search, implies that typical z >~ 6 LAEs are likely to have significantly lower CO line luminosities than massive sub-mm galaxies and hyperluminous infrared quasars at similar redshifts, due to either a significantly lower molecular gas content or a higher CO-to-H_2 conversion factor.

description: We investigate the angular normal modes for small oscillations about an equilibrium of a single-component coulomb cluster confined by a radially symmetric external potential to a circle. The dynamical matrix for this system is a Laplacian symmetrically circulant matrix and this result leads to an analytic solution for the eigenfrequencies of the angular normal modes. We also show the limiting dependence of the largest eigenfrequency for large numbers of particles.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The effect of raw natural water from the coastal zone of Curonian Lagoon, sampled during toxic autumn hyper-bloom of cyanobacteria (16.09.2013 and 06.10.2013) was tested on Daphnia magna Straus (Crustacea, Cladocera). In both data and after 1 month of cool keeping (6-8ºС) of October water filtrate, the high level of microcystin concentration was detected by Mycrocystin Strip Tests (Abraxis) at a level > 10 µg l-1 . Evident toxic effect (100% mortality) of September and October water samples, and October samples after one-month keeping in low-temperature condition, was shown. In September samples 100% mortality of cladocerans was recorded after 1-2 days, level of mortality increased gradually during experiment. Water of 06.10.2013 demonstrated sharp neurotoxic effect during first 20 minutes, paralysis was noticed in different dilutions of natural water (from not diluted to 1:10). 100% mortality level in all concentration was occurred not later than in 4 hours, except 1:10 trial, where was recorded after 20 h. Lethal effect of September water samples could be explained by high content of microcystins. The effect of other samples is explained by joined acting of unidentified neurotoxin and high microcystin concentration.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Information on the role of recreational boating in the introduction and spread of non-native biofouling species was a critical knowledge gap identified during a recent Canadian national risk assessment on ship-mediated introductions of non-native species. To provide information on this vector, a study was conducted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in Atlantic coastal waters to provide information on recreational boat usage, maintenance and movement. In addition to surveys of boaters, selected high risk harbours were surveyed using a combination of underwater video, SCUBA divers and settling plates to determine the biofouling and presence of non-native species on manmade structures and boat hulls. This information is then augmented by the (DFO) biofouling monitoring program data in Atlantic Canada to provide a broader view of the introduction and spread of invasive biofouling organisms in the region over time. Information obtained from this study will be used to determine best practices for recreational boat management and to aid in the prevention of the spread of biofouling non-native species on man-made harbour infrastructures by recreational boating vessels.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The use of colour polymorphism as a phenotypic genetic marker in relation to life-history strategies and climatic factors is a promising way to study the effects of global warming on micro-evolutionary processes within populations and identifying which ecological processes are underpinning the occurring changes. The North Atlantic common guillemot Uria aalge possesses two genetically different colour morphs; the bridled and the unbridled morph. The frequency of the two morphs follows a north south gradient, with the frequency of bridled birds increasing with latitude. We show how fluctuations in sea surface temperature affects life-history traits of these morphs differently in two colonies with different frequency; the Isle of May in Scotland and Hornøya in Northeastern Norway. We combined non-breeding distribution data from geolocators, with Sea Surface Temperature and long-term time series data on adult survival (29 and 22 years). Additionally, we analyzed the breeding success over 22 years for different family morph combinations in relation to SST around the colony. We discuss how climate change will alter the bridling frequency and how it is possible to visualize how evolutionary adaptations to global warming will be manifest.

description: Plagiarism is a highly discussed issue in higher education institutions in recent times. Turnitin text-matching software has widely been adopted by many academic institutions in Ghana as one of the solutions to improving students’ and faculty academic writing and a solution for detecting incidences of plagiarism. There has been little empirical research into what students actually know about plagiarism and their lived experiences of text-matching technology, despite the fact that a lot of research has looked at attitudes, motivations, and demographic characteristics related to academic dishonesty. This study used an online Google form for data collection. We enrolled 1054 postgraduate students of the University of Cape Coast. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0, and the proposed hypothesis was tested using Structural Equation Modeling. Findings show that there was no statistically significant relationship between postgraduate students’ academic levels and their perception of plagiarism. However, there is significant relationship between postgraduate students’ perception of plagiarism and their use of Turnitin. There is also statistically significant relationship between postgraduate students’ awareness of Turnitin and its use. This calls for increased awareness creation and sensitization, which can be accomplished through scientific writing workshops, focused on inculcating ethical research practices into students.

description: The effects of bond randomness on the phase diagram and critical behavior of the square lattice ferromagnetic Blume-Capel model are discussed. The system is studied in both the pure and disordered versions by the same efficient two-stage Wang-Landau method for many values of the crystal field, restricted here in the second-order phase transition regime of the pure model. For the random-bond version several disorder strengths are considered. We present phase diagram points of both pure and random versions and for a particular disorder strength we locate the emergence of the enhancement of ferromagnetic order observed in an earlier study in the ex-first-order regime. The critical properties of the pure model are contrasted and compared to those of the random model. Accepting, for the weak random version, the assumption of the double logarithmic scenario for the specific heat we attempt to estimate the range of universality between the pure and random-bond models. The behavior of the strong disorder regime is also discussed and a rather complex and yet not fully understood behavior is observed. It is pointed out that this complexity is related to the ground-state structure of the random-bond version.

description: Research Integrity Advisors are used in Australia to provide impartial guidance to researchers who have questions about any aspect of responsible research practice. Every Australian institution conducting research must provide access to trained advisors. This national policy could be an important part of creating a safe environment for discussing research integrity issues and thus resolving issues. We conducted the first formal study of advisors, using a census of every Australian advisor to discover their workload and attitudes to their role. We estimated there are 739 advisors nationally. We received responses to our questions from 192. Most advisors had a very light workload, with an median of just 0.5 days per month. Thirteen percent of advisors had not received any training, and some advisors only discovered they were an advisor after our approach. Most advisors were positive about their ability to help colleagues deal with integrity issues. The main desired changes were for greater advertising of their role and a desire to promote good practice rather than just supporting potential issues. Advisors might be a useful policy for supporting research integrity, but some advisors need better institutional support in terms of training and raising awareness.
Catabolism and transport of arginine by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Creators: name: Cook, Kathleen Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa was shown to constitutively degrade arginine via the arginine dihydrolase pathway to ornithine, which was converted both to glutamate and to putrescine. The conversion of ornithine to glutamate appeared to be the major route of arginine degradation in this organism, and was induced to higher activity after growth of the cells with arginine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. P. aeruginosa did not further degrade putrescine constitutively. However, growth of the cells in arginine resulted in a partial induction of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme functioning in putrescine degradation. The anabolic ornithine transcarbamylase of P. aeruginosa was repressed after growth of the organism in the presence of arginine. Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescens also possessed the ability to constitutively convert arginine to putrescine via the intermediates, citrulline and ornithine. However, these organisms did not oxidize arginine to the same extent as did P. aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa grew in a mixture of glucose and arginine in the presence of ammonium ions without exhibiting a diauxie effect. Glucose and arginine were oxidized concomitantly when supplied as a mixed substrate, by both growing cells and resting cell suspensions. However, assimilation studies showed that the two substrates were used to serve somewhat different biosynthetic needs. Growth of P. aeruginosa in arginine caused an increase in the rates of transport of arginine, lysine, ornithine and citrulline. Kinetic studies of arginine uptake demonstrated the presence of two uptake systems with different affinities for arginine. Inhibition studies indicated that arginine was transported by two uptake systems: a permease specific for arginine, and, with a lower affinity, for ornithine; and a general permease, which transported all the basic amino acids. Polyamines appeared to be transported by an uptake system which was induced to higher levels after growth of the cells with either arginine or putrescine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. P. aeruginosa was found to maintain a stable pool of putrescine when supplied with exogenous ¹⁴C-arginine or ¹⁴C-putrescine, even when the organism had previously been induced to degrade these substrates. A physical fractionation of the cells indicated that the major portion of this pool was located in the soluble cytoplasm.

Outbreaks of Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA)  caused a dramatic declination in the production from 52.000 tonnes gutted weight in 2003 to 15.600 tonnes in 2006 in the salmonid fish farming industry in the Faroe Islands. This motivated   a restructuring of the industry. New management practices and regulations were developed, where the main elements are zonation, single year classes, fallowing between production cycles and strict regulation of all transport. Under this new management system and a generally improvement of the husbandry the production has increased to nearly 20% above  the maximum   production   prior   to   the   ILA­crisis,   but   from   25%   fewer   smolts.     However,   increasing abundance of sea lice are a growing challenge, and adjustments in the management are expected.
Memory and pattern : an interrogation of the privacy of consciousness through visual practice
Creators: name: Connor, Amanda
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In less than three years, I have accumulated over a million words in journal entries. The written outpourings constitute an intensely private realm, and yet I have sought to express the essence of the content and process of my written records, providing it with a visual form. My work features wooden constructions, including objects resembling letters of the alphabet, onto which I have transcribed hand-written fragments of text from the journal. The central investigation of my project concerns a dichotomy between creative expression and the privacy of consciousness, exploring the capacity of realms of creative expression to deal with this tension. Through artistic practice and through reference to other work, I have been evaluating the potential of employing a visual language, incorporating written text, to transcend the dilemma of expressing that which lies in a highly personal realm, but is nevertheless indicative of a craving to reach beyond the barrier of loneliness and isolation. The voice meanders in an incessant dialogue between concealment and revelation that finds its visual metaphor in the palimpsest. The creation of a haphazardly organized alphabet demonstrates the awkwardness of language and its limitations as a tool to penetrate beyond the surface of perception to objective truths, while the volume of written text expresses the relentless nature of a search for personal truth, which is specifically focussed on understanding the dialogue between ones perception and that which one perceives, in particular, embodiments of consciousness that exist outside of ones own. I have utilized moving images to enhance and magnify the issue of subjectivity. This component was explored at a later stage of my research, and marks a significant development in my thinking, in which I encountered a more optimistic understanding of the potential fluidity of subjectivity, distinct from earlier inclinations to regard the subjective realm as a fixed enclosure. The work's function is to glorify the dilemma without solving it, aiming to induce in the viewer a mesmerized awareness of the mystery and complexity of human experience.

description: We have recently completed a detailed scan of the 19-dimensional parameter space of the phenomenological MSSM, i.e., the CP-conserving MSSM assuming Minimal Flavor Violation(MFV) with the first two sfermion generations degenerate. We found a large set of parameter space points that satisfied all of the existing experimental and theoretical constraints. This analysis allows us to examine the general features of the MSSM without reference to any particular SUSY breaking scenario or any other assumptions about physics at higher scales. This study opens up new possibilities for SUSY phenomenology both at colliders and in astrophysical observations.

description: In a novel approach to the multiple testing problem, Efron (2004; 2007) formulated estimators of the distribution of test statistics or nominal p-values under a null distribution suitable for modeling the data of thousands of unaffected genes, non-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms, or other biological features. Estimators of the null distribution can improve not only the empirical Bayes procedure for which it was originally intended, but also many other multiple comparison procedures. Such estimators serve as the groundwork for the proposed multiple comparison procedure based on a recent frequentist method of minimizing posterior expected loss, exemplified with a non-additive loss function designed for genomic screening rather than for validation. The merit of estimating the null distribution is examined from the vantage point of conditional inference in the remainder of the paper. In a simulation study of genome-scale multiple testing, conditioning the observed confidence level on the estimated null distribution as an approximate ancillary statistic markedly improved conditional inference. To enable researchers to determine whether to rely on a particular estimated null distribution for inference or decision making, an information-theoretic score is provided that quantifies the benefit of conditioning. As the sum of the degree of ancillarity and the degree of inferential relevance, the score reflects the balance conditioning would strike between the two conflicting terms. Applications to gene expression microarray data illustrate the methods introduced.
