description: We consider a three-terminal state-dependent relay channel with the channel state available non-causally at only the source. Such a model may be of interest for node cooperation in the framework of cognition, i.e., collaborative signal transmission involving cognitive and non-cognitive radios. We study the capacity of this communication model. One principal problem in this setup is caused by the relay's not knowing the channel state. In the discrete memoryless (DM) case, we establish lower bounds on channel capacity. For the Gaussian case, we derive lower and upper bounds on the channel capacity. The upper bound is strictly better than the cut-set upper bound. We show that one of the developed lower bounds comes close to the upper bound, asymptotically, for certain ranges of rates.

description: Recently a new clustering algorithm called 'affinity propagation' (AP) has been proposed, which efficiently clustered sparsely related data by passing messages between data points. However, we want to cluster large scale data where the similarities are not sparse in many cases. This paper presents two variants of AP for grouping large scale data with a dense similarity matrix. The local approach is partition affinity propagation (PAP) and the global method is landmark affinity propagation (LAP). PAP passes messages in the subsets of data first and then merges them as the number of initial step of iterations; it can effectively reduce the number of iterations of clustering. LAP passes messages between the landmark data points first and then clusters non-landmark data points; it is a large global approximation method to speed up clustering. Experiments are conducted on many datasets, such as random data points, manifold subspaces, images of faces and Chinese calligraphy, and the results demonstrate that the two approaches are feasible and practicable.

The effect of DDT upon the metabolism of estradiol in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Creators: name: Harvey, Brian John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the first experiment, sexually immature male and female coho salmon were exposed for 21 days to dietary DDT at a level of 10 or 100 parts per million (ppm), or to methoxychlor at a level of 100 ppm. Exposure to 100 ppm DDT was found to increase the level of liver microsomal Cytochrome P-450 from a control level of 1.32 ± .04 nmoles/1000 mg liver to a level of 1.98 ± .04 nmoles/1000 mg liver, a statistically significant difference (P<.001). None of the treatments were found to affect the hepato-somatic index. In the second experiment, liver slices from sexually maturing male and female coho salmon fed 100 ppm DDT for 21 days or a control diet were incubated with 4-C¹⁴-estradiol-17β in vitro. Metabolites produced were extracted with dichloromethane, separated by thin-layer chromatography and assayed using scintillation counting techniques. Produced in the incubation were estrone, estriol and one other unidentified polar metabolite. DDT treatment was found to significantly increase the amount of estriol and unidentified metabolite produced (P< .001). In the third experiment, sexually maturing male and female coho salmon fed 100 ppm DDT for 21 days or for 7 days or a control diet were injected with 625,500 dpm 4-C¹⁴-estradiol-17β and permitted to metabolize the hormone in vivo. Serial blood samples were extracted, chromatographed and subjected to scintillation counting techniques to obtain values for Metabolic Clearance Rate, Half-life Time and Volumes of Distribution of the injected steroid. It was found that ingestion of DDT had no significant effect upon any of these parameters (P<.001). The pattern of metabolites produced in vivo closely resembled that produced in vitro. The evidence presented in this study suggests that enhancement of the activity of the Mixed Function Oxidase system in coho salmon may occur upon ingestion of an organochlorine insecticide, but that the phenomenon may have little significance in vivo.

description: Aluminum (Al) alloys have been widely used in the transportation industry. However, most high-strength Al alloys to date have limited mechanical strength, on the order of a few hundred MPa, which is much lower than the flow stress of high-strength steels. In this study, we show the fabrication of nanocrystalline Al alloys with high-density growth twins enabled by a few atomic percent of Co solute. In situ uniaxial compression tests show that the flow stress of Al–Co solid solution alloys exceeds 1.5 GPa, while good work hardening capability is maintained. This study provides a new perspective on the design of high-strength Al alloys for various applications. The flow stress of Al–Co alloys with high-density growth twins exceeds 1.5 GPa, while maintaining good work hardening capability. The twins are stabilized by Co impurities based on DFT calculations.
Cytological alteration in the rat stomach postburn

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Gastric mucosal erosions were induced in the glandular stomach of rats by scalding. The incorporation of Thymidine-methyl³-H into desoxyribonucleic acid was used to determine changes in gastric epithelial cell proliferating ability. Total desoxyribonucleic acid per milligram of gastric tissue was also determined. Sampling was done at twenty-four hours, seven days, and fifteen days postburn. Eighty-nine point two percent of rats with a standard 26.5 ± 2% scald burn had developed gastric mucosal erosions by twenty-four hours postburn. Seventeen point eight percent of burned rats had erosions by seven days and the incidence rose to 46.4% by fifteen days postburn. Ten point three percent of control rats in all sampling periods developed erosions. The total desoxyribonucleic acid in the gastric samples did not change significantly in any treatment period nor was it changed by treatment. Uptake of thymidine-methyl³-H was depressed twenty-four hours postburn and renewed so through seven days postburn. The results at the fifteen day sampling were inconclusive. By light microscope, the gastric surface epithelium was lifted from the lamina propria and at times there was complete denudation of this cell layer. The rat is a satisfactory animal model for gross study of mucosal erosions to at least fifteen day postburn. Because of eschar cannibalization inducing variable secretory status, the rat model was not suitable for thymidine uptake studies past seven days postburn.

description: The partial decay widths of positive parity baryons belonging to 56-plets of SU(6) are analyzed in the framework of the 1/Nc expansion. The channels considered are those with emission of a single pion, K or K-bar mesons, and the analysis is carried out to subleading order in 1/Nc and to first order in SU(3) symmetry breaking. The results for the multiplet [56,0+], to which the Roper resonance belongs, indicate a poor description at leading order, requiring important next to leading order corrections. For the multiplet [56,2+], the P-wave decays in the non-strange sector are well described at leading order, while the F-wave decays require the next to leading order corrections, which turn out to be of natural magnitude. SU(3) breaking effects are poorly determined, because only few decays with K meson in final state are established, and their widths are not known with sufficient accuracy.

description: Using the IRAM 30m telescope and the Plateau de Bure interferometer we have detected the \ctwo and the CO 3$-$2, 4$-$3, 6$-$5, 7$-$6 transitions as well as the dust continuum at 3 and 1.2 mm towards the distant luminous infrared galaxy IRAS F10214+4724 at $z=2.286$. The \ctwo line is detected for the first time towards this source and IRAS F10214+4724 now belongs to a sample of only 3 extragalactic sources at any redshift where both of the carbon fine structure lines have been detected. The source is spatially resolved by our \ctwo\ observation and we detect a velocity gradient along the east-west direction. The CI line ratio allows us to derive a carbon excitation temperature of 42$^{+12}_{-9}$ K. The carbon excitation in conjunction with the CO ladder and the dust continuum constrain the gas density to $n(\hh)$ = $10^{3.6-4.0}$ cm$^{-3}$ and the kinetic temperature to $T\rm_{kin}$ = 45--80 K, similar to the excitation conditions found in nearby starburst galaxies. The rest-frame 360 $μ$m dust continuum morphology is more compact than the line emitting region, which supports previous findings that the far infrared luminosity arises from regions closer to the active galactic nucleus at the center of this system.

description: The gas-liquid interface properties and molecular adsorption of the binary mixtures of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cationic surfactant dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DTAC) with different molar ratios were described through molecular dynamics (MD) method with the aim of providing supplements to the experiments at the molecular level. The simulation results showed that the anionic/cationic surfactant mixtures can form a denser interfacial monomolecular layer than single surfactants, and the interface will tend to form equimolar adsorption eventually. The entry barrier of the interface under different molar ratios was investigated, the system with a high SDS ratio has higher the entry barrier, which means that the initial non-equal molar ratio of the interface composition may be more conducive to prolonging the existence time of the interface. The rupture process of the microscopic liquid film was simulated, and it was found that the site not covered by surfactant molecules was the point where the liquid film was prone to rupture. The critical rupture thickness of each models was about 0.8 ∼ 1.2 nm.

description: The direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like planets is among the most sought-after prizes in contemporary astrophysics, however current optical instrumentation delivers insufficient dynamic range to overcome the vast contrast differential between the planet and its host star. New opportunities are offered by coherent single mode fibers, whose technological development has been motivated by the needs of the telecom industry in the near infrared. This paper presents a new vision for an instrument using coherent waveguides to remap the pupil geometry of the telescope. It would (i) inject the full pupil of the telescope into an array of single mode fibers, (ii) rearrange the pupil so fringes can be accurately measured, and (iii) permit image reconstruction so that atmospheric blurring can be totally removed. Here we present a laboratory experiment whose goal was to validate the theoretical concepts underpinning our proposed method. We successfully confirmed that we can retrieve the image of a simulated astrophysical object (in this case a binary star) though a pupil remapping instrument using single mode fibers.

description: In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a family of polynomials which are orthogonal with respect to an exponential weight on certain contours of the complex plane. The zeros of these polynomials are the nodes for complex Gaussian quadrature of an oscillatory integral on the real axis with a high order stationary point, and their limit distribution is also analyzed. We show that the zeros accumulate along a contour in the complex plane that has the S-property in an external field. In addition, the strong asymptotics of the orthogonal polynomials is obtained by applying the nonlinear Deift--Zhou steepest descent method to the corresponding Riemann--Hilbert problem.

description: The XEUS mission incorporates two satellites: the Mirror Spacecraft with 5 m2 of collecting area at 1 keV and 2 m2 at 7 keV, and an imaging resolution of 5" HEW and the Payload Spacecraft which carries the focal plane instrumentation. XEUS was submitted to ESA Cosmic Vision and was selected for an advanced study as a large mission. The baseline design includes XPOL, a polarimeter based on the photoelectric effect, that takes advantage of the large effective area which permits the study of the faint sources and of the long focal length, resulting in a very good spatial resolution, which allows the study of spatial features in extended sources. We show how, with XEUS, Polarimetry becomes an efficient tool at disposition of the Astronomical community.

description: In these proceedings, we highlight experimental data (published and preliminary) related to jet quenching and the response of the medium to this deposited energy. Signatures in two- and three- particle hadron correlations indicate interesting structures near the trigger particle in azimuth and over a broad range in pseudo-rapidity, often termed "the ridge", and conical-like structures separated in azimuth opposite to the trigger particle. We review numerous theoretical interpretations of the ridge in particular with a critical eye for the key properties that allow one to discriminate between, or rule out, certain physical pictures and models (and hopefully learn something in the process).

Skilling students in digital technologies using long-distance controlled robots over the internet
Creators: name: Hastie, MJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: To meet the emerging challenges of this century and stay competitive in the international marketplace, it is important that Australian students develop the skills they need for digital futures. However, many Australian students cannot access digital technologies like robots due to prohibitive costs and the 'tyranny of distance' and this means Australia is at risk of being further left behind in our region and globally. To overcome the current trade deficit in Information Technology (IT) and a looming shortage of workers skilled in Information Communication Technologies (ICT), Australian students must engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning and robotics. The aim of this study was to determine the learning impact of a Long Distance Control Robot (LDCR) system when used by Australian students who could not access or had limited access to a physical robot. The study investigated the use of the LDCR system with students (n=32) aged 9-12 years at an Australian school of distance education during 2014. Students lived in a range of rural and remote and metropolitan settings throughout Queensland. They used the LDCR system over the Internet to operate the robot that was located in Brisbane. Three research questions were posed: 1. When students operate a robot, what are their perceptions of their learning? 2. What STEM skills do students learn through robots? 3. What complementary skills do students learn when they operate a robot remotely using a Long Distance Control Robot (LDCR) system? Data were collected from student surveys, a blog and video recording transcripts. The data were then thematically analysed using a case study approach that included coding density and content analysis. The research established that when students learned to operate a robot remotely using a LDCR system, their perception of learning was highly positive, their STEM learning accelerated, and they developed complementary skills such as procedural knowledge, technical skills and metacognition. With the expectation that Australian students will learn using robots, this study provides a way forward at very low cost irrespective of physical location.
The locational needs of the elderly for housing
Creators: name: Markoff, Anthony Wayne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A major concern of community planning is the integrated use of land and its implications upon people. This statement leads to the central hypothesis of this thesis: that the planned location of senior citizens' housing developments in the urban area should be based upon adequate knowledge of the needs and preferences of the elderly in regard to the total community. In an attempt to gain a total perspective, a survey of five per cent of the self contained dwelling units, specifically designed for the elderly in the city of Vancouver, is undertaken. Using multivariate contingency tabulations (MVTAB) and the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) programs, four principal variables, age, length of residence in the housing project, satisfaction with the proximity to facilities, and frequency of their use are correlated with the locational importance attributed to these selected facilities by the respondents. The results of this study indicate that more than one half of the respondents are displeased with the location of their present living quarters. Also, decisions in locating residences for the elderly must be based upon the examination of a number of facilities used by this age group, as opposed to the identification of a single facility frequented most regularly. These findings may contribute toward a more knowledgeable approach in the future site planning of housing accommodation for the aged.

description: Human motor activities are known to exhibit scale-free long-term correlated fluctuations over a wide range of timescales, from few to thousands of seconds. The fundamental processes originating such fractal-like behavior are not yet understood. To untangle the most significant features of these fluctuations, in this work the problem is oversimplified by studying a much simpler system: the spontaneous motion of rodents, recorded during several days. The analysis of the animal motion reveals a robust scaling comparable with the results previously reported in humans. It is shown that the most relevant features of the experimental results can be replicated by the statistics of the activation-threshold model proposed in another context by Davidsen and Schuster.
Shining a light on care in direct social work practice
Creators: name: Hay, Jenny
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study critically examines how care operates as a concept and practice in direct social work practice. While 'care' has been positioned as a core value of the social work profession since its inception, the increasing influence of neo-liberal rationalities and evidence based practice have placed care on the periphery of social work practice. Social work scholars have promoted the incorporation of ethic of care theory into direct social work practice as a means of countering the effects of a context that is antithetical to caring practice. The research provides an original contribution to an understanding of care. I address the gap between abstract notions of an ethic of care and concrete ways of enacting care in direct social work practice, by capturing the lived experience of social workers and social work clients. My qualitative research was guided by a grounded theory approach to answer the question: how does thinking about, doing and experiencing care in direct social work practice inform an ethic of care for the profession? Fifteen social workers and 15 social work clients from Tasmania were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. They were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. The interviews were analysed using constructivist grounded theory techniques. Deep listening, non-judgment, a commitment to meeting needs, showing empathy and compassion, and just being there for clients in times of distress were some of the ways that social workers and clients said care was demonstrated in practice. Additionally, clients indicated mutual trust was a vital component of care. Both social workers and clients shared inspiring accounts of caring practice, however, clients also frequently mentioned experiences of uncaring practice. On the basis of these findings I suggest a practice theory of care that is reflective of Tronto's (1993) five dimensions of care. Extending Tronto's conceptualisation of care, I add that an ethic of care in direct social work practice involves perceiving care as a 'virtue', continual evaluation of caring practice, developing trusting relationships, and balancing a commitment to social justice with care. My theory of care culminates in 'valuing the other'. The implications of these findings are discussed, alongside ideas for future research.

description: The statistical analysis of covariance matrix data is considered and, in particular, methodology is discussed which takes into account the non-Euclidean nature of the space of positive semi-definite symmetric matrices. The main motivation for the work is the analysis of diffusion tensors in medical image analysis. The primary focus is on estimation of a mean covariance matrix and, in particular, on the use of Procrustes size-and-shape space. Comparisons are made with other estimation techniques, including using the matrix logarithm, matrix square root and Cholesky decomposition. Applications to diffusion tensor imaging are considered and, in particular, a new measure of fractional anisotropy called Procrustes Anisotropy is discussed.

description: Purpose This study examined the extent to which teacher responsivity education affected preschoolers' language and literacy development over an academic year. Additional aims were to determine whether children’s initial language abilities and teachers' use of responsivity strategies were associated with language outcomes, in particular.Method In this randomized controlled trial, preschool centers were assigned to a responsivity education intervention (n = 19 centers, 25 teachers, and 174 children) or a “business-as-usual” control condition (n = 19 centers, 24 teachers, and 156 children). Teachers within the intervention centers received training focused on a set of strategies designed to promote children’s engagement and participation in extended conversational interactions across the school day.
Results Hierarchical linear models showed no main effects on children’s language skills, although moderating effects were observed such that the intervention appeared to have positive effects for children with relatively high initial language abilities. In addition, teacher use of responsivity strategies was positively associated with vocabulary development. With regard to children’s literacy skills, there was a significant main effect of the intervention on print-concept knowledge.
Conclusions Although teacher responsivity education is viewed as benefitting children’s language and literacy development, the impacts of this type of intervention on children’s skills warrant further investigation.

description: We discuss the use of information geometry in black hole physics and present the outcomes. The type of information geometry we utilize in this approach is the thermodynamic (Ruppeiner) geometry defined on the state space of a given thermodynamic system in equilibrium. The Ruppeiner geometry can be used to analyze stability and critical phenomena in black hole physics with results consistent with those from the Poincare stability analysis for black holes and black rings. Furthermore other physical phenomena are well encoded in the Ruppeiner metric such as the sign of specific heat and the extremality of the solutions. The black hole families we discuss in particular in this manuscript are the Myers-Perry black holes.

description: Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) are regional minimum wages paid to foreign employees working in the United States under the H-2A visa non-immigrant agricultural guest worker program. AEWRs were established as a mechanism to prevent US farmworkers from adverse effects due to the employment of foreign guest workers. However, AEWRs may have unintended consequences. We develop a simple theoretical framework to gain insights into how the AEWRs may influence the wages of non-H-2A farm employees. Our model predicts that higher AEWRs cause the wages of non-H-2A farm employees to rise through two channels: (i) a substitution effect and (ii) a market signalling effect, or “lighthouse effect,” where non-H-2A employees use the AEWR as a benchmark to demand higher wages from employers. We test these hypotheses using a regression framework with data from the National Agricultural Workers Survey. Our estimates suggest that a 10% increase in the AEWR causes a three percent wage increase of non-H-2A farm employees across the nation and a five percent increase in the top five H-2A employment states where more than half the H-2A jobs are certified. We find that one-year AEWR freeze would reduce the growth of wages paid to US-based farm employees by about $500 million.

description: The origin of the very large piezoelectric response observed in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in perovskite lead zirconate titanate and related systems has been under intensive studies. Polarization rotation ideas are frequently invoked to explain the piezoelectric properties. It was recently reported that lead titanate undergoes a phase transformation sequence $P4mm\to Pm\to Cm\to R\bar{3}c$ at 10 K as a function of hydrostatic pressure [M. Ahart et al. Nature Letters. \textbf{451}, 545 (2008)]. We demonstrate that this interpretation is not correct by (i) simulating the reported diffraction patterns, and (ii) by density-functional theory computations which show that neither the $Pm$, $Cm$ nor $Pmm2$ phase is stable in the studied pressure range, and further show that octahedral tilting is the key stabilization mechanism under high pressure. Notes on a more general ground are given to demonstrate that a continuous phase transition between rhombohedral and tetragonal phases via intermediate monoclinic phase is not possible. Thus, two-phase co-existence in the vicinity of the phase transition region is probable and has an important role for electromechanical properties.

Boundaries of patent infringement law
Creators: name: Liddicoat, JE
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: In the modern global environment of rapid technological change and quickly evolving business practices, new issues frequently arise that challenge the operation of patent law. Understanding how patent law operates in this global environment is vital because the patent system plays an important role in the way new technology is developed and brought to market. The accepted rationale for the patent system is that it is an economic tool to incentivise innovation and thereby enhance social welfare. It follows, then, that if patent law handles emergent issues (or is likely to handle them) in ways that conflict with its underlying rationale, the development of new technology may be hindered. Six diverse emergent issues that challenge the operation of patent law in Australia are examined in this thesis. They take two forms: technological, originating from development of new technology; and legal, resulting from recent case law or legislative amendment (either foreign or domestic). Technological and legal issues arise frequently and it is impossible to evaluate them all. Thus, this thesis focuses specifically on issues that are relevant to aspects of Australian patent infringement law and are amenable to doctrinal legal analysis and qualitative economic reasoning. The aspects of patent infringement law examined are: standing to initiate infringement actions; infringement by exploitation; secondary infringement; innocent infringement; and false representations about patents. In addition, to give perspective on reasoning in this study and, in some circumstances to identify solutions to defects in the law, analysis of each issue also involves a foreign comparative law component. This study demonstrates that many of the emergent issues examined are not, or are unlikely to be, dealt with under current Australian patent law in a manner consistent with the justifications that underpin it. Accordingly, various refinements to the law are proposed to ensure the Australian patent system is kept up to date.

description: Within a geometric and algebraic framework, the structures which are related to the spin-statistics connection are discussed. A comparison with the Berry-Robbins approach is made. The underlying geometric structure constitutes an additional support for this approach. In our work, a geometric approach to quantum indistinguishability is introduced which allows the treatment of singlevaluedness of wave functions in a global, model independent way.

description: Abstract

Aufgrund von Open Access wie auch neuer digitaler Möglichkeiten befindet sich wissenschaftliche Kommunikation und wissenschaftliches Publizieren in einem Transformationsprozess. Bestehende Praxis wird weiterentwickelt und neue Praktiken entstehen. Ein guter Teil der Energie wird dabei auf die Gestaltung der Open-Acccess-Transformation aufgewendet, wie zum Beispiel Publikationswege und -formate oder das Monitoring von Kosten. Dies ist überwiegend Arbeit der Infrastruktureinrichtungen, wie zum Beispiel Bibliotheken. Es ist aber auch die Praxis der Informationsvermittlung einhergehend zu adaptieren. Entwicklungen und Neuerungen dahingehend finden aber meist in Bezug auf die Studierenden statt, für die das Erlernen von Fähigkeiten und Skills im Umgang mit Literatur und Daten sowie der Recherche im Zentrum stehen. Das Teilprojekt "Predatory Publishing" des Projektes AT2OA2 hat das Thema Informationsvermittlung von Anfang an als eines ihrer zwei Kernthemen angesehen. Da sich das Projektteam als eine Community of Practice versteht, ist seine Arbeit dialogisch und kollaborativ. Zunächst war der Zugang noch von der klassischen Wissensvermittlung geprägt. In der weiteren Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema wie auch der Frage, was die Rolle von Bibliothekar:innen insbesondere hinsichtlich Predatory Publishing ist, hat sich gezeigt, dass es andere und neue Zugänge braucht, um neue und emergente Praxis zu pflegen und zu entwickeln. Mit der wissenschaftlichen Community in Dialog zu treten rückte in den Mittelpunkt, um aus der jeweiligen Erfahrung voneinander zu lernen und Praxis gemeinsam fortlaufend zu gestalten. Als Methode wurde hierfür Facilitation und facilitated dialogue gewählt, als ein Weg der Räume des Austauschs eröffnet. So wurden im vergangenen Jahr für Wissenschaftler:innen der Universitäten in Innsbruck und Graz jeweils ein Facilitation-Tag gestaltet. Für die Universitäten in Wien sind zwei Tage im November in Planung. Dieser Vortrag soll einerseits den Prozess der Entwicklung dieser neuen Herangehensweise und Methode beleuchten, inklusive der Höhen aber auch so mancher Tiefen und Stolpersteine, sowie andererseits erste Erkenntnisse für die Anwendung in der Praxis präsentieren.

description: We show that, if decaying gravitino dark matter is responsible for the PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS anomalies in the cosmic-ray electron and positron fluxes, both a reheating temperature and a gluino mass are constrained from above. In particular, the gluino mass is likely within the reach of LHC, if the observed baryon asymmetry is explained by thermal leptogenesis scenario.

The Detectability of Exo-Earths and Super-Earths Via Resonant Signatures in Exozodiacal Clouds

description: Directly imaging extrasolar terrestrial planets necessarily means contending with the astrophysical noise of exozodiacal dust and the resonant structures created by these planets in exozodiacal clouds. Using a custom tailored hybrid symplectic integrator we have constructed 120 models of resonant structures created by exo-Earths and super-Earths on circular orbits interacting with collisionless steady-state dust clouds around a Sun-like star. Our models include enough particles to overcome the limitations of previous simulations that were often dominated by a handful of long-lived particles, allowing us to quantitatively study the contrast of the resulting ring structures. We found that in the case of a planet on a circular orbit, for a given star and dust source distribution, the morphology and contrast of the resonant structures depend on only two parameters: planet mass and $\sqrt{a_{\rm p}}/β$, where $a_{\rm p}$ is the planet's semi-major axis and $β$ is the ratio of radiation pressure force to gravitational force on a grain. We constructed multiple-grain-size models of 25,000 particles each and showed that in a collisionless cloud, a Dohnanyi crushing law yields a resonant ring whose optical depth is dominated by the largest grains in the distribution, not the smallest. We used these models to estimate the mass of the lowest-mass planet that can be detected through observations of a resonant ring for a variety of assumptions about the dust cloud and the planet's orbit. Our simulations suggest that planets with mass as small as a few times Mar's mass may produce detectable signatures in debris disks for semi-major axes greater than 10 AU.
