description: We map the phase diagram of gauge theories of fundamental interactions in the flavor-temperature plane using chiral perturbation theory to estimate the relation between the pion decaying constant and the critical temperature above which chiral symmetry is restored. We then investigate the impact of our results on models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and therefore on the electroweak early universe phase transition.

description: This thesis  deals with the description of quasi-static fluid-structure interactions. Regarding an efficient computation of such kind of problems all relevant properties of the fluid, such as density, pressure or fluid level, will be captured using only the geometry of the surrounding wetted structure. This allows an analytical description of the fluid, with its strain energy implemented in a volume-dependent energetic equivalent loading acting on the structure.

Selecting Computer Architectures by Means of Control-Flow-Graph Mining
Creators: name: Eichinger, Frank
name: Böhm, Klemens
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2009

description: Deciding which computer architecture provides the best performance for a certain program is an important problem in hardware design and benchmarking. While previous approaches require expensive simulations or program executions, we propose an approach which solely relies on program analysis. We correlate substructures of the control-flow graphs representing the individual functions with the runtime on certain systems. This leads to a prediction framework based on graph mining, classification and classifier fusion. In our evaluation with the SPEC CPU 2000 and 2006 benchmarks, we predict the faster system out of two with high accuracy and achieve significant speedups in execution time.

description: Provability logic GLP is well-known to be incomplete w.r.t. Kripke semantics. A natural topological semantics of GLP interprets modalities as derivative operators of a polytopological space. Such spaces satisfying all the axioms of GLP are called GLP-spaces. We develop some constructions to build nontrivial GLP-spaces and show that GLP is complete w.r.t. the class of all GLP-spaces.
The puzzle of the cluster-forming core mass-radius relation and why it matters

description: We highlight how the mass-radius relation of cluster-forming cores combined with an external tidal field can influence infant weight-loss and disruption likelihood of clusters after gas expulsion. Specifically, we study how the relation between the bound fraction of stars staying in clusters at the end of violent relaxation and the cluster-forming core mass is affected by the slope and normalization of the core mass-radius relation. Assuming mass-independent star formation efficiency and gas-expulsion time-scale $τ_{GExp}/τ_{cross}$ and a given external tidal field, it is found that constant surface density cores and constant radius cores have the potential to lead to the preferential removal of high- and low-mass clusters, respectively. In contrast, constant volume density cores result in mass-independent cluster infant weight-loss, as suggested by observations. Our modelling includes predictions about the evolution of high-mass cluster-forming cores, a regime not yet covered by the observations. An overview of various issues directly affected by the nature of the core mass-radius relation is presented (e.g. cluster mass function, galaxy star formation histories, globular cluster self-enrichment). Finally, we emphasize that observational mass-radius data-sets of dense gas regions must be handled with caution as they may be the imprint of the molecular tracer used to map them, rather than reflecting cluster formation conditions.

The effects of inspiratory muscle training on physiological and sensory responses to exercise in healthy males
Creators: name: Ramsook, Andrew Harry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is an efficacious intervention to reduce dyspnoea in health and disease. Growing evidence also suggests that IMT can improve whole body exercise performance. However, the physiological mechanisms for these improvements are not well understood. We sought to examine the effects of IMT on dyspnoea, respiratory muscle electromyography (EMG), and respiratory and locomotor oxygenation to examine potential mechanisms of action for any IMT-related improvements in dyspnoea and exercise performance. 25 recreationally active healthy men completed two maximal incremental cycle exercise tests separated by 5 weeks of randomly assigned pressure threshold IMT or sham control training (SC). The IMT group (n = 12) performed 30 inspiratory efforts twice daily against a 30 repetition maximum intensity. The SC (n = 13) group performed a daily bout of 60 inspiratory efforts against 10% maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), with no weekly adjustments. EMG electrodes on the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and scalene muscles measured changes in muscle activity, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) optodes on the SCM, parasternal intercostals, 7th intercostal space, and vastus lateralis muscle measured changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin during each exercise test. Dyspnoea was measured throughout exercise using the modified Borg scale. Finally, a subset of participants (IMT: n = 11; SC: n = 11) were instrumented with a multi-pair oesophageal electrode catheter containing two balloons, to measure diaphragm EMG and respiratory pressures. IMT significantly improved MIP (pre: -138±45 vs. post: -160±43, cm H₂O, p<0.01) whereas the SC intervention did not. A between group analysis determined the increase in MIP in the IMT group was greater than the change in the SC group (p<0.05). Moreover, after IMT, dyspnoea was significantly reduced at the highest equivalent work rate (pre: 7.6±2.5 vs. post: 6.8±2.9 Borg units, p<0.05), but not in the SC group with no between-group interaction effects. Finally, there were no significant differences in respiratory muscle EMG or respiratory and locomotor muscle oxygenation in either the IMT or SC intervention. Together, these findings suggest that while IMT can reduce dyspnoea, it is likely unrelated to changes in EMG or NIRS derived measurements.

description: We successfully grew the high-quality single crystal of Rb$_{0.78}$Fe$_2$Se$_{1.78}$, which shows sharp superconducting transition in magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. Resistivity measurements show the onset superconducting transition ($T_{\rm c}$) at 32.1 K and zero resistivity at 30 K. From the low-temperature iso-magnetic-field magnetoresistance, large upper critical field $H_{\rm c2}$(0) has been estimated as high as 180 T for in-plane field and 59 T for out-of-plane field. The anisotropy $H^{ab}_{\rm c2}$(0)/$H^{c}_{\rm c2}$(0) is around 3.0, right lying between those observed in K$_x$Fe$_2$Se$_2$ and Cs$_x$Fe$_2$Se$_2$.

Anomalous Aharonov--Bohm gap oscillations in carbon nanotubes

description: The gap oscillations caused by a magnetic flux penetrating a carbon nanotube represent one of the most spectacular observation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect at the nano--scale. Our understanding of this effect is, however, based on the assumption that the electrons are strictly confined on the tube surface, on trajectories that are not modified by curvature effects. Using an ab-initio approach based on Density Functional Theory we show that this assumption fails at the nano-scale inducing important corrections to the physics of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Curvature effects and electronic density spilled out of the nanotube surface are shown to break the periodicity of the gap oscillations. We predict the key phenomenological features of this anomalous Aharonov-Bohm effect in semi-conductive and metallic tubes and the existence of a large metallic phase in the low flux regime of Multi-walled nanotubes, also suggesting possible experiments to validate our results.

description: Background: The design and performing of cascade reactions is a challenging but stimulating and interesting facet of organic synthesis, yet one that can convey conspicuous novelty, efficiency as well as elegance and sophistication to synthetic approaches. On the other hand, isocyanides are well-recognized as privileged synthons in the synthesis of a wide range of heterocycles. Objective: In this review, we try to illustrate the power, efficiency, and convenience of combining cascade process as an expedient strategy with versatility of isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions in the synthesis of aza-heterocycles from 1993 till date. Comprising isocyanides in cascade or sequential pathway also represents a milestone in combinatorial chemistry which is a bounce for this contented marriage.

description: Interference Alignment (IA) is the process of designing signals in such a way that they cast overlapping shadows at their unintended receivers, while remaining distinguishable at the intended ones. Our goal in this paper is to come up with an algorithm for IA that runs at the transmitters only (and is transparent to the receivers), that doesn't require channel reciprocity, and that alleviates the need to alternate between the forward and reverse network as is the case in Distributed IA (Gomadam, Cadambe, Jafar 08'), thereby inducing significant overhead in certain environments where the channel changes frequently. Most importantly, our effort is focused on ensuring that this one-sided approach does not degrade the performance of the system w.r.t. Distributed IA (since it cannot improve it). As a first step, we model the interference in each receiver's desired signal as a function of the transmitters' beamforming vectors. We then propose a simple steepest descent (SD) algorithm and use it to minimize the interference in each receiver's desired signal space. We mathematically establish equivalences between our approach and the Distributed IA algorithm (Gomadam, Cadambe, Jafar 08') and show that our algorithm also converges to an alignment solution (when the solution is feasible).

description: The possibility is explored that accretion on an intermediate mass black hole contributes to the ionisation of the interstellar medium of the Compact Blue Dwarf galaxy MRK996. Chandra observations set tight upper limits (99.7 per cent confidence level) in both the X-ray luminosity of the posited AGN, Lx(2-10keV)<3e40erg/s, and the black hole mass, <1e4/λMsolar, where λ, is the Eddington ratio. The X-ray luminosity upper limit is insufficient to explain the high ionisation line [OIV]25.89μm, which is observed in the mid-infrared spectrum of the MRK996 and is proposed as evidence for AGN activity. This indicates that shocks associated with supernovae explosions and winds of young stars must be responsible for this line. It is also found that the properties of the diffuse X-ray emission of MRK996 are consistent with this scenario, thereby providing direct evidence for shocks that heat the galaxy's interstellar medium and contribute to its ionisation.

Ro-vibrational analysis of the XUV photodissociation of HeH$^+$ ions

description: We investigate the dynamics of the photodissociation of the hydrohelium cation HeH$^+$ by XUV radiation with the aim to establish a detailed comparison with a recent experimental work carried out at the FLASH free electron laser using both vibrationally hot and cold ions. As shown in previous theoretical works, the comparison is hindered by the fact that the experimental ro-vibrational distribution of the ions is unknown. We determine this distribution using a dissociative charge transfer set-up and the same source conditions as in the FLASH experiment. Using a non-adiabatic time-dependent wave packet method, we calculate the partial photodissociation cross sections for the $n=1-3$ coupled electronic states of HeH$^+$. We find a good agreement with the experiment for the total cross section into the He + H$^+$ dissociative channel. By performing an adiabatic calculation involving the $n=4$ states, we then show that the experimental observation of the importance of the electronic states with $n>3$ cannot be well explained theoretically, especially for cold ($v=0$) ions. We also calculate the relative contributions to the cross section of the $Σ$ and $Π$ states. The agreement with the experiment is excellent for the He$^+$ + H channel, but only qualitative for the He + H$^+$ channel. We discuss the factors that could explain the remaining discrepancies between theory and experiment.

description: This thesis introduces methods to directly train speech translation systems on audio recordings of interpreter-mediated communication. By employing unsupervised and lightly supervised training techniques, the proposed methods allow to omit most of the manual transcription effort and all of the manual translation effort that has typically characterized speech translation system development. Thus, the amount of costly and time-consuming human supervision is substantially reduced.

description: The existence of stable magnetic configurations in white dwarfs, neutron stars and various non-convective stellar {regions} is now well recognized. It has recently been shown numerically that various families of equilibria, including axisymmetric mixed poloidal-toroidal configurations, are stable. Here we test the stability of an analytically-derived non force-free magnetic equilibrium, using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations: the mixed configuration is compared with the dynamical evolution of its purely poloidal and purely toroidal components, both known to be unstable. The mixed equilibrium shows no sign of instability under white noise perturbations. {This configuration therefore provides a good description of magnetic equilibrium topology inside non-convective stellar objects and will be useful to initialize magneto-rotational transport in stellar evolution codes.

A fully relativistic twisted disk around a slowly rotating Kerr black hole: derivation of dynamical equations and the shape of stationary configurations

description: (abbreviated) In this paper we derive equations describing dynamics and stationary configurations of a twisted fully relativistic thin accretion disc around a slowly rotating black hole. We find that the disc dynamics and stationary shapes are determined by a pair of equations for two complex variables describing orientation of the disc rings and velocity perturbations in the disc. We analyse shapes of stationary twisted configurations. It is shown that the stationary configurations depend on two parameters - the $α$parameter and $\tilde δ= δ_{*}/\sqrt a$, where $δ_{*}\sim h/r$ is the disc opening angle (h is the disc halfthickness) and $a$ is the black hole rotational parameter. When $a > 0$ and $\tilde δ\ll 1$ the shapes depend drastically on value of $α$. When $α$ is small the disc inclination angle oscillates with radius with amplitude and radial frequency of the oscillations dramatically increasing towards the last stable orbit. For moderate values of $α$ the oscillations do not take place but the disc does not align with the equatorial plane at small radii. Its inclination angle is either increasing towards $R_{ms}$ or exhibits a non-monotonic dependence on the radial coordinate. Finally, when $α$ is sufficiently large the disc aligns with the equatorial plane at small radii. When $a < 0$ the disc aligns with the equatorial plane for all values of $α$. The results reported here may have implications for determining structure and variability of accretion discs close to $R_{ms}$ as well as for modelling of emission spectra coming from different sources, which are supposed to contain black holes.

An operational view on the holographic information bound

description: We study the covariant holographic entropy bound from an operational standpoint. Therefore we consider the physical limit for observations on a light-sheet. A light-sheet is a particular null hypersurface, and the natural measuring apparatus is a screen. By considering the physical properties of the screen - as dictated by quantum mechanics - we derive an uncertainty relation. This connects the number of bits of decoded information on the light-sheet to two geometric uncertainties: the uncertainty on the place where the bits are located and the uncertainty on the local expansion of the light-sheet. From this relation we can argue a local operational version of the (generalized) covariant entropy bound: the maximum number of bits decoded on a light-sheet interval goes like the area difference (in Planck units) of the initial and final surface spanned by the light rays.

An exploratory study of the stopper device in modern slot machines
Creators: name: Chu, Stephanie Wing-Man
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The stopper device is a common feature on modern slot machines that enables players to brake the spinning reels manually, but with no actual influence on the likelihood of winning. This study explored two potential mechanisms for why players might use the stopper device: (1) by increasing an ‘illusion of control’, and (2) by increasing the speed of game play. Thirty student participants from UBC and 32 community participants from the Greater Vancouver area participated in the study. Unlike previous research on the effects of the stopper device (e.g. Ladouceur & Sévigny, 2005), participants played a real slot machine (instead of pre-programmed slot machine simulator) equipped with a stopper, and were able to decide when and how often they used the stopper. Physiological arousal (heart rate and skin conductance) were monitored during game play. Participants completed the Gamblers’ Beliefs Questionnaire as a measure of trait susceptibility to the illusion of control, and after the game session, participants provided state ratings of the effectiveness of the stopper (i.e. illusory control) and their game play experience. Contrary to predictions, no significant relationships were observed (in either sample) between stopper use and the illusion of control. Stopper use was associated with faster speed of play, as measured by the spin initiation latencies. In addition, wins on trials where the stopper was used tended to increase ongoing stopper use, consistent with reinforcement via operant conditioning. Wins elicited a significant increase in heart rate, but no connection was found between stopper use and physiological arousal. Overall, the pattern of data indicated that stopper use may be better explained in associative learning (reinforcement and speed of play) than by higher-level cognitive appraisals (illusion of control). By increasing speed of play, stopper device may increase gambling losses and harms, and policy implications for the regulation of the stopper feature are considered.

description: HESS J1858+020 is a weak gamma-ray source lying near the southern border of the SNR G35.6-0.4. A molecular cloud, composed by two clumps, shows signs of interaction with the SNR and with a nearby extended HII region. In particular, the southernmost clump coincides with the center of the HESS source. In this work we study this clump in detail with the aim of adding information that helps in the identification of the nature of the very-high energy emission. We observed the mentioned molecular clump using the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) in the 12CO J=3-2, 13CO J=3-2, HCO+ J=4-3 and CS J=7-6 lines with an angular resolution of 22". To complement this observations we analyzed IR and submillimeter continuum archival data. From the 12CO and 13CO J=3-2 lines and the 1.1 mm continuum emission we derived a density of between 10^{3} and 10^{4} cm^-3 for the clump. We discovered a young stellar object (YSO), probably a high mass protostar, embedded in the molecular clump. However, we did not observe any evidence of molecular outflows from this YSO which would reveal the presence of a thermal jet capable of generating the observed gamma-rays. We conclude that the most probable origin for the TeV gamma-ray emission are the hadronic interactions between the molecular gas and the cosmic rays accelerated by the shock front of the SNR G35.6-0.4.

description: Data on the variability of the continuum optical emission are used for the first time to estimate the degree of spotting in stars similar to that of the sun. It is sown that the amount of spotting increases gradually from the sun to the highly spotted stars for which Alekseev and Gershberg constructed the zonal model for the distributions of spots. A close relationship is found between spotting and the power of the x-ray emission from the stars with widely varying levels of activity.

description: We present a broadly-applicable, physically-motivated first-principles approach to determining the fundamental gap of finite systems. The approach is based on using a range-separated hybrid functional within the generalized Kohn-Sham approach to density functional theory. Its key element is the choice of a range-separation parameter such that Koopmans' theorem for both the neutral and anionic is obeyed as closely as possible. We demonstrate the validity, accuracy, and advantages of this approach on first, second, and third row atoms, the oligoacene family of molecules, and a set of hydrogen-passivated silicon nanocrystals. This extends the quantitative usage of density functional theory to an area long believed to be outside its reach.

description: For galaxy clustering to provide robust constraints on cosmological parameters and galaxy formation models, it is essential to make reliable estimates of the errors on clustering measurements. We present a new technique, based on a spatial Jackknife (JK) resampling, which provides an objective way to estimate errors on clustering statistics. Our approach allows us to set the appropriate size for the Jackknife subsamples. The method also provides a means to assess the impact of individual regions on the measured clustering, and thereby to establish whether or not a given galaxy catalogue is dominated by one or several large structures, preventing it to be considered as a "fair sample". We apply this methodology to the two- and three-point correlation functions measured from a volume limited sample of M* galaxies drawn from data release seven of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The frequency of jackknife subsample outliers in the data is shown to be consistent with that seen in large N-body simulations of clustering in the cosmological constant plus cold dark matter cosmology. We also present a comparison of the three-point correlation function in SDSS and 2dFGRS using this approach and find consistent measurements between the two samples.

Synthesis, polymerization and reactions of enantiomerically pure phosphaalkenes
Creators: name: Serin, Spencer Christopher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: This thesis outlines the polymerization and novel reactivity of enantiomerically pure compounds featuring the relatively uncommon phosphaalkene moiety. Chapter 1 introduces the chemistry of the phosphaalkene (Ar-P=CR₂) structural fragment. This motif is compared and contrasted to the established chemistry of C=N and C=C groups. Similarities and differences are highlighted by an examination of: (a) phosphaalkene synthesis, (b) phosphaalkene polymerization and (c) phosphaalkene-metal coordination. Chapter 2 details the addition reactions of MeM (M = MgBr, Li) nucleophiles to enantiomerically pure phosphaalkene-oxazoline 1.10a [PhAk-Ox, MesP=CPh(CMe₂Ox)]. Of note, the reaction of MeMgBr and PhAk-Ox is highly diastereoselective and affords a new P-chiral phosphine oxazoline ligand. Chapters 3 and 4 report the free radical initiated homo- and co-polymerizations (with styrene) of enantiomerically pure phosphaalkene-oxazolines 1.10a (Chapter 3) and 4.1a [MesP=CPh(3-C₆H₄Ox), Chapter 4]. The coordination of rhodium(I) to copolymers of 1.10a and styrene permits the isolation of novel macromolecular complexes. Additionally, polymers of 4.1a display unique spectroscopic signatures that permit the direct assignment of styrene-phosphaalkene linkages in the polymer backbone. Chapters 5 and 6 highlight the coordination chemistry of phosphaalkenes. Chapter 5 discusses the syntheses of κ³(PNN)-copper(I) complexes featuring enantiomerically pure pyridine-bridged phosphaalkene-oxazoline 5.1a [ArP=CPh(2-C₅H₃N-6-Ox)]. Chapter 6 explores the insertion of the P=C functional group into Pd–R bonds, permitting the synthesis of novel phosphapalladacyclopropanes (6.1a-b) and palladium(II) complexes featuring 1,2-dihydropyridinato donors (6.3 and 6.4). Chapter 7 provides perspective for the work contained within this thesis.

description: Distributed processing across a networked environment suffers from unpredictable behavior of speedup due to heterogeneous nature of the hardware and software in the remote machines. It is challenging to get a better performance from a distributed system by distributing task in an intelligent manner such that the heterogeneous nature of the system do not have any effect on the speedup ratio. This paper introduces homogenization, a technique that distributes and balances the workload in such a manner that the user gets the highest speedup possible from a distributed environment. Along with providing better performance, homogenization is totally transparent to the user and requires no interaction with the system.

Critical Pedagogy and Sufi Tradition:A Comparative Study of Freire’s and Rumi’s Pedagogical Approaches
Creators: name: Hassani, Mortaza Mandegar
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2020

description: ABSTRACT: Critical pedagogy thinkers (e.g. Paulo Freire) critique the dominant education systems for what is known as reproducing inequality and oppression in society. They propose a kind of educational system aiming to help learners critically understand their socio-historical condition to gain confidence and be active agents in history. Undoubtedly, realizing the pitfalls of formal education is not unique to Paulo Freire. Similarly, Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi, a thirteenth-century Sufi poet, repudiated the formal madrasa education and called for emancipatory knowledge to help people liberate themselves. Considering the differences both thinkers might have on the subject, this paper attempts to bring them into a dialogue on the subject of ‘emancipatory knowledge’. It concludes that Freire’s idea of critical pedagogy acknowledges the wider social structure perpetuating oppression, while Rumi’s focus is on personalized internal barriers preventing liberation while overlooking the role of social structure outside.

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2020

description: ABSTRACT: Suicide on post-secondary campuses is a pressing concern, with many students in Canada demanding that post-secondary institutions improve their policies and procedures for supporting students with suicidality. The past decade has shown an increase in research and literature on students with mental health illnesses including depression and anxiety, while research specifically on the prevention of and response to suicide at post-secondary institutions is lacking. This article expands upon current literature on suicidality in post-secondary institutions and provides recommendations including further areas of research, addressing risk factors, promoting educational awareness, and increasing help-seeking behaviour to future researchers and post-secondary professionals seeking to improve guidelines for practice in supporting students experiencing suicidality.

Asymptotically safe weak interactions

description: We emphasize that the electroweak interactions without a Higgs boson are very similar to quantum general relativity. The Higgs field could just be a dressing field and might not exist as a propagating particle. In that interpretation, the electroweak interactions without a Higgs boson could be renormalizable at the non-perturbative level because of a non-trivial fixed point. Tree-level unitarity in electroweak bosons scattering is restored by the running of the weak scale.

Fluency misattribution and the curse of knowledge bias in children
Creators: name: Haddock, Taeh Bonn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The ability to judge what information other people are likely to know is vital to successful communication and social interaction. The curse of knowledge is the tendency to be biased by one’s knowledge when attempting to reason about a more naïve perspective. The current study sought to determine the role fluency misattribution plays in the curse of knowledge bias in children. Fluency misattribution occurs when the subjective feeling of ‘fluency’ associated with familiar, or easy-to-process, information gets misattributed when making various judgments. Applied to the curse of knowledge, fluency misattribution occurs when one’s feeling of fluency is misinterpreted as the information being objectively obvious or widespread. In the current within-subjects design 115 children aged four to seven were read stories involving two groups of animals, and were asked to judge whether their peers would know more about one group or the other. I tested fluency misattribution by manipulating the frequency with which participants heard about the animals, frequently throughout or only once. The results revealed that increasing the frequency with which the information was presented lead children to over-attribute how common that knowledge was among their peers. I also tested participants on curse of knowledge and source monitoring tasks, revealing a positive correlation between children’s fluency misattribution and source monitoring, and no relationship between fluency misattribution and performance on the curse of knowledge task. I discuss how these findings contribute to the field of social cognition, especially our understanding of the mechanisms involved in reasoning about what others know.
The Role of Intellectual Competence on Graduate Supervisor-Supervisee Relationships and Well-beings

description: ABSTRACT: In light of the increasing trend toward internationalization, developing intercultural competence (ICC) in graduate supervisors and supervisees by providing professional learning opportunities has become progressively more important in higher education institutions. ICC improves the supervisor-supervisee relationship, which, in turn, contributes to individual and collective well-being. We begin this article by reviewing the definitions of ICC. Based on our document analysis of graduate supervision handbooks in Canadian research-intensive universities, we present the current availability of professional learning opportunities for graduate supervisors and supervisees to develop their ICC. We also report on the thematic analysis of our written self-reflections on the role of ICC in supervisor-supervisee relationship and well-being. We conclude the article by making recommendations for a range of professional learning opportunities.

description: We discuss the effect of the recent change of $V_{\rm us}$ by three standard deviations on the standard model predictions for neutron beta decay observables. We also discuss the effect the experimental error bars of $V_{\rm us}$ have on such predictions. Refined precision tests of the standard model will be made by a combined effort to improve measurements in neutron beta decay and in strangeness-changing decays. By itself the former will yield very precise measurements of $V_{\rm ud}$ and make also very precise predictions for $V_{\rm us}$.
