Is the glass half empty or half full? : Obstacles and opportunities that highly educated immigrants encounter in the segmented Canadian labour market
Creators: name: Adamuti-Trache, Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation challenges the worth of a university degree in the segmented Canadian labour market by revealing systemic patterns of differential return to education due to social structural factors (e.g., gender, age, visible minority, immigrant status) and available capital (e.g., human, cultural, social, symbolic capital). The portrayal of obstacles raised in the Canadian labour market and opportunities for further education offered by the post-secondary system defines two dimensions of the social space in which knowledge workers unfold their life course trajectories. This is also the social space in which highly educated immigrants who arrived in Canada in the early 2000s compete for social positions. The dissertation is based on four empirical studies, which employ large-scale survey data to analyze employment and further education participation by university educated adults in relation to individual, situational and dispositional factors. The analysis of findings engages Bourdieu’s sociological framework to examine the process through which human capital available to university graduates is transformed over life course, and the critical problem of the devaluation of foreign human capital in the Canadian labour market. The analysis considers the role of non-human capitals to explain issues with immigrants’ employment and participation in post-secondary education in Canada. The main argument is grounded in life course research and recognizes that the transformation of human capital occurs through the strategic actions of a socially situated bounded agency which is capable to adjust to changes in the social context. I put forward the idea that the notion of habitus as a generative structure of practical action is essential to understanding the manifestation of bounded agency during life course transitions. I argue that one’s habitus, viewed as implicit knowledge built over life course, could be the most unique resource available to recent highly educated immigrants to help them overcome the many obstacles raised by the Canadian social structures in their journey to integration. Meanwhile, the Canadian society must improve the view on highly educated immigrants and recognize their value as global knowledge workers and messengers of other cultures: they are a viable resource, creating ‘opportunities’ for learning in workplaces, educational institutions and communities.

description: Globular clusters provide a fundamental link between stars and galaxies. For example, it has been suggested that ultra faint dwarf galaxies formed all of their stars prior to the epoch of reionization, but this conclusion hinges entirely on the striking similarity of their stellar populations to the ancient, metal-poor globular cluster M92. The accurate measurement of absolute ages of ancient globular clusters therefore has direct implications for the formation histories of the smallest galaxies in the Universe.

However, a reliable determination of the absolute ages of globular clusters has proven to be a challenge due to uncertainties in stellar physics and complications in how the models are compared to observations. I will present preliminary results from a comprehensive study to measure the absolute age of M92 using high-quality HST archival imaging data. We pair our new MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) models with a full CMD fitting framework to jointly fit multi-color CMDs, taking into account the uncertainties in abundances, distance, and stellar physics. The goal of this project is two-fold. First, we aim to provide the most secure absolute age of M92 to date with robustly estimated uncertainties. Second, we explore and quantify the degeneracies between uncertain physical quantities and model variables, such as the distance, mixing-length-alpha parameter, and helium abundance, with the ultimate goal of better constraining these unknowns with data from ongoing and future surveys such as K2, Gaia, TESS, JWST, and WFIRST.

Generation of entangled tripartite states in three identical cavities

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The generation of entanglement between three identical coupled cavities, each containing a single three-level atom, is studied when the cavities exchange two coherent photons and are in the N=2, 4, and 6 manifolds, where $N$ represents the maximum number of photons possible in any one cavity. The combined states of the atom and the photon in a cavity is given by a qutrit for N=2, a five-dimensional qudit for N=4, and a seven-dimensional qudit for N=6. The conservation of the operator $\hat{N}$ for the interacting three-cavity system limits the total number of tripartite states to only 6, 18, and 38, rather than the usual $3^3=27$, $5^3=125$, and $7^3 =343$ states for N=2, 4, and 6, respectively. The deterministic generation of entanglement from general initially unentangled tripartite states is studied in the limit of large hopping strength, where all the solutions are analytic and given in terms of exponential functions. Several types of resulting tripartite entanglement are analyzed in order to obtain maximally entangled states.

description: We combine high resolution N-body simulations with deep observations of neutral hydrogen (HI) in nearby galaxy groups in order to explore two well-known theories of HI cloud formation: HI stripping by galaxy interactions and dark matter minihalos with embedded HI gas. This paper presents new data from three galaxy groups, Canes Venatici I, NGC 672, and NGC 45, and assembles data from our previous galaxy group campaign to generate a rich HI cloud archive to compare to our simulated data. We find no HI clouds in the Canes Venatici I, NGC 672, or NGC 45 galaxy groups. We conclude that HI clouds in our detection space are most likely to be generated through recent, strong galaxy interactions. We find no evidence of HI clouds associated with dark matter halos above M_HI = 10^6 M_Sun, within +/- 700 km/s of galaxies, and within 50 kpc projected distance of galaxies.

Hubble's law and faster than light expansion speeds

description: Naively applying Hubble's law to a sufficiently distant object gives a receding velocity larger than the speed of light. By discussing a very similar situation in special relativity, we argue that Hubble's law is meaningful only for nearby objects with non-relativistic receding speeds. To support this claim, we note that in a curved spacetime manifold it is not possible to directly compare tangent vectors at different points, and thus there is no natural definition of relative velocity between two spatially separated objects in cosmology. We clarify the geometrical meaning of the Hubble's receding speed v by showing that in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime if the four-velocity vector of a comoving object is parallel-transported along the straight line in flat comoving coordinates to the position of a second comoving object, then v/c actually becomes the rapidity of the local Lorentz transformation, which maps the fixed four-velocity vector to the transported one.

description: AGB stars appear to lose mass spherically, but many PNe resulting from the AGB mass-loss have non-spherical morphologies. Compact disks have been found in some bipolar PNe, but their role in the shaping process remains unknown. Compact Keplarian disks are found to be common around post-AGB binaries, however, these objects may never develop into PNe. Another group of post-AGB stars, known as pre-PNe, are surrounded by collimated nebulae shining by reflected light or shock ionisation. We are observing the inner circumstellar regions of pre-PNe at high angular resolutions with the VLTI. We seek to compare pre-PNe disks to those around other post-AGB stars and PNe. New observations of the pre-PN, IRAS 16279-4757, show evidence for a disk similar to those seen in young PNe.

description: A numerical study of magnetic reconnection in the large-Lundquist-number ($S$), plasmoid-dominated regime is carried out for $S$ up to $10^7$. The theoretical model of Uzdensky {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 105}, 235002 (2010)] is confirmed and partially amended. The normalized reconnection rate is $\normEeff\sim 0.02$ independently of $S$ for $S\gg10^4$. The plasmoid flux ($Ψ$) and half-width ($w_x$) distribution functions scale as $f(Ψ)\sim Ψ^{-2}$ and $f(w_x)\sim w_x^{-2}$. The joint distribution of $Ψ$ and $w_x$ shows that plasmoids populate a triangular region $w_x\gtrsimΨ/B_0$, where $B_0$ is the reconnecting field. It is argued that this feature is due to plasmoid coalescence. Macroscopic "monster" plasmoids with $w_x\sim 10$% of the system size are shown to emerge in just a few Alfvén times, independently of $S$, suggesting that large disruptive events are an inevitable feature of large-$S$ reconnection.

description: Context: Recent near-infrared data have contributed to the discovery of new (obscured) massive stellar clusters and massive stellar populations in previously known clusters in our Galaxy. These discoveries lead us to view the Milky Way as an active star-forming machine. Aims: The main purpose of this work is to determine physically the main parameters (distance, size, total mass and age) of Masgomas-1, the first massive cluster discovered by our systematic search programme. Methods: Using near-infrared (J, H, and Ks) photometry we selected 23 OB-type and five red supergiant candidates for multi-object H- and K-spectroscopy and spectral classification. Results: Of the 28 spectroscopically observed stars, 17 were classified as OB-type, four as supergiants, one as an A-type dwarf star, and six as late-type giant stars. The presence of a supergiant population implies a massive nature of Masgomas-1, supported by our estimate of the cluster initial total mass of (1.94\pm0.28)\cdot10^4 M_{sun}, obtained after integrating of the cluster mass function. The distance estimate of 3.53 kpc locates the cluster closer than the Scutum--Centaurus base but still within that Galactic arm. The presence of an O9V star and red supergiants in the same population indicates that the cluster age is in the range of 8 to 10 Myr.

A Tunable Mechanism for Identifying Trusted Nodes in Large Scale Distributed Networks

description: In this paper, we propose a simple randomized protocol for identifying trusted nodes based on personalized trust in large scale distributed networks. The problem of identifying trusted nodes, based on personalized trust, in a large network setting stems from the huge computation and message overhead involved in exhaustively calculating and propagating the trust estimates by the remote nodes. However, in any practical scenario, nodes generally communicate with a small subset of nodes and thus exhaustively estimating the trust of all the nodes can lead to huge resource consumption. In contrast, our mechanism can be tuned to locate a desired subset of trusted nodes, based on the allowable overhead, with respect to a particular user. The mechanism is based on a simple exchange of random walk messages and nodes counting the number of times they are being hit by random walkers of nodes in their neighborhood. Simulation results to analyze the effectiveness of the algorithm show that using the proposed algorithm, nodes identify the top trusted nodes in the network with a very high probability by exploring only around 45% of the total nodes, and in turn generates nearly 90% less overhead as compared to an exhaustive trust estimation mechanism, named TrustWebRank. Finally, we provide a measure of the global trustworthiness of a node; simulation results indicate that the measures generated using our mechanism differ by only around 0.6% as compared to TrustWebRank.

description: A new version of PT-symmetric quantum theory is proposed and illustrated by an N-site-lattice Legendre oscillator. The essence of the innovation lies in the replacement of parity P (serving as an indefinite metric in an auxiliary Krein space) by its non-involutory alternative P(positive)=Q>0 playing the role of a positive-definite nontrivial metric in an auxiliary, redundant, unphysical Hilbert space. It is shown that the QT-symmetry of this form remains appealing and technically useful.

description: Floral bilateral symmetry is the most important trend for flower shape diversity in 200,000 angiosperm species. Zygomorphy and reversal back to actinomorphy independently evolved multiple times in angiosperm evolution. The genetic basis and the role of selection, however, remain lots of unknown. Yet the developmental mechanism which controls the floral bilateral symmetry relies on CYCLOIDEA (CYC), a member of TCP gene family. Meanwhile, Gcyc genes, CYC-like genes in Gesneriaceae, duplicated multiple times in evolutionary history. Members of Gesneriaceae consist of mainly zygomorphic flowers with only a few exceptions, providing a great natural experience opportunity for revealing the evolution patterns of symmetry evolution. Didymocarpoideae has the most number of actinomorphic species among Gesneriad subfamilies. Three duplication events lead to multiple copies of Gcyc ranging from two to four in each species. In this study, we detected the selective pressures of duplication Gcyc lineages, revealing a relaxation signals after duplication but without lineage-specific patterns. Expression of Gcyc genes of two zygomorphic and actinomorphic species indicates a species-specific pattern, which two zygomorphic species utilize different copies to retain bilateral symmetry. All Gcyc genes in actinomorphic species absent in corolla, stamens, and gynoecium which implies ventralization. Based on the relaxation of duplicated Gcyc genes and species-specific expression patterns, we suggested a possible "evolutionary flexibility" after Gcyc genes duplication which leads to diverse floral symmetry in Didymocarpoideae. This finding, therefore, supports the observation that lineages with floral bilateral symmetry have been able to generate more floral shape diversity.

description: Low temperature specific heat, C, in magnetic fields up to Hc2 is reported for underdoped Ba(Fe0.955Co0.045)2As2 (Tc=8 K) and for three overdoped samples Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 (x=0.103, 0.13, and 0.15, Tc=17.2, 16.5, and 11.7 K respectively). Previous measurements of thermal conductivity (as a function of temperature and field) and penetration depth on comparable composition samples gave some disagreement as to whether there was fully gapped/nodal behavior in the under-/overdoped materials respectively. The present work shows that the measured behavior of the specific heat gamma (proportional to C/T as T->0, i. e. a measure of the electronic density of states at the Fermi energy) as a function of field approximately obeys gamma proportional to H**(0.5 +- 0.1), similar to the Volovik effect for nodal superconductors, for both the underdoped and the most overdoped Co samples. However, for the two overdoped compositions x=0.103 and 0.13, the low field (H < 10 T) data show a Volovik-like behavior of gamma proportional to H**(0.3-0.4), followed by an inflection point, followed at higher fields by gamma proportional to H**1. We argue that within the 2-band theory of superconductivity, an inflection point may occur if the interband coupling is dominant.

description: Urban history, at least in Germany, has mainly concentrated on the Medieval and Reformation cities on the one hand and Industrial and Contemporary cities on the other. However, recent debates among Early Modernists have produced the view that ‘confessionalization’, that is the formation of three or four modern church systems based on specific confessions of faith, was one of the most influential factors in producing the fundamental changes that occurred between 1550 and 1650 in Europe. This had a huge effect on the cities of Europe and their inhabitants. This paper compares Catholic and Protestant cities in Europe around 1600 with regard to their specific architecture and their religious and civic rituals. Rites and other religious functions or institutions have always been an important part of urban life. Lewis Mumford refers to religious funeral rites in his magisterial analysis of urban life in a universal perspective: ‘The city of the dead antedates the city of the living. In one sense, indeed the city of the dead is the forerunner, almost the core, of every living city.’ In Europe, the relationship between the Church and the towns or cities was especially close and, in a sense, fundamental because of the medieval history of the European towns and the structure and profile of pre-modern European societies in general. We start with a brief overview of these preconditions for urban life during Europe's confessional period, and then go on to take a closer look at the confessional city itself.

description: ‘Philosophical anthropology’ was initiated in the late 1920s as an alternative to abstract philosophical definitions of human nature (‘animal rationale’) and to the exclusively empirical, physical study of anthropology. Philosophical anthropology focused upon what it meant to be a human being. Its founders concentrated upon the situated existence of human beings and their ability to think beyond and to deny even what was actually vitally important to them. For Cassirer, these efforts remained too abstract because they failed to take the breadth of human cultural activity into account. The decisive feature of human life is neither reason nor language. These are derivative from symbolism, not the other way around. Human beings are best described as ‘animal symbolicum’. The error of earlier anthropological conceptions was not that they venerated reason, but that they ignored the body and so separated reason from emotion. The concept of symbolism, as Cassirer conceived it, overcame this dualism. His philosophical anthropology has been vindicated today in many areas of empirical research, but replacing the concept of ‘reason’ with that of ‘symbolism’ was no minor revision to the Western philosophical tradition, and the amplification and application of this new outlook has barely begun.

description: We present the first detection of hydrogen chlorine in a protostellar shock, by observing the fundamental transition at 626 GHz with the Herschel HIFI spectrometer. We detected two of the three hyperfine lines, from which we derived a line opacity < 1. Using a non-LTE LVG code, we constrained the HCl column density, temperature and density of the emitting gas. The hypothesis that the emission originates in the molecular cloud is ruled out, as it would imply a too dense gas. Conversely, assuming that the emission originates in the 10"-15" size shocked gas previously observed at the IRAM PdB interferometer, we obtain: N(HCl)=0.7-2 x 10(13) cm-2, temperature > 15 K and density > 3 x 10(5) cm-3}. Combining with the Herschel HIFI CO(5-4) observations allows to further constrain the gas density and temperature, 10(5)-10(6) cm-3 and 120-250 K, as well as the HCl column density, 2 x 10(13) cm-2, and, finally, abundance: 3-6 x 10(-9). The estimated HCl abundance is consistent with that previously observed in low- and high- mass protostars. This puzzling result in the L1157-B1 shock, where species from volatile and refractory grains components are enhanced, suggests either that HCl is not the main reservoir of chlorine in the gas phase, against previous chemical models predictions, or that the elemental chlorine abundance is low in L1157-B1. Astrochemical modelling suggests that HCl is in fact formed in the gas phase, at low temperatures, prior to the occurance of the shock, and that the latter does not enhance its abundance.

Namely, disparities arise in the treatment of firms submitting both a leniency application for immunity with the Commission and a summary application to an NCA for the same cartel, if there are discrepancies in the description of the anticompetitive practice submitted to the two authorities. This Highlight analyses the DHL Express (Italy) v Commission judgment of the Court of Justice, according to which there is no hierarchy nor any legal link between the two leniency applications. It is contended that the ruling of the Court reflects a proper objective of leniency programmes: encouraging the race for leniency that is crucial to their effectiveness.
Popular education in collective recovery and reconstruction from continuing complex traumatic stress : a collaborative psychoeducation approach
Creators: name: Escueta, Moises U.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This participatory action-research project explores the contributions that popular education, particularly using visual-arts based methods, makes to collective recovery and reconstruction efforts being undertaken by a group of individuals living in contexts of chronic, acute, and continuing trauma and related mental health issues. Towards this end, a psychoeducation group I called Trauma Recovery and Reconstruction Group (TRRG) was created and conducted with clients of the Centre for Concurrent Disorders (CCD) in Vancouver. This study was undertaken over three phases. The first phase focused on informing the CCD staff of the project, recruitment of clients, and individual interviews of participants. The second phase included the twelve group sessions where data was collected through field notes, observations, and creation of visual images. The final phase involved interviews with each of the participants. The method created for this project was called Trauma Recovery-Focused Participatory Research (TRFPR) which forges a partnership between the researcher and participants through the various phases of research. The resulting data illustrates theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions that popular education makes to psychoeducation initiatives in a clinical setting. Theoretical contributions include the extension of popular education theories and application in trauma psychoeducation, identifying processes to ensure continuing context assessment, and the translation of pedagogy into united action for collective recovery and reconstruction. Methodologically, it provides a model for employing collective, participatory, visual arts-based and capacity-building approaches. This model includes identifying visual arts-based methods which enhance collective expression of distress and recovery, critical analysis of systemic and structural origins of collective (re)traumatization, and the identification and actualization of concrete steps through united action. This project also outlines a new research method, Trauma Recovery-Focused Participatory Research (TRFPR), which simultaneously involves processes that contribute to trauma recovery and reconstruction. Practically, it contributes to recovery and reconstruction efforts of a group through the actual conduct of the Trauma Recovery and Reconstruction Group (TRRG), a twelve-week collaborative psychoeducation group. At the end of the twelve weeks, participants outlined a number of action steps including advocating for the continuation of the TRRG to sustain the community of mutual learning and support they created.

An Integrated Framework For Histological Image Data Analytics

Year: 2016

description: Introduction/ Background
Automated image analysis enables the mining of rich information from digitized histological slides. A major challenge is the complexity and large size of the images. Whole-slide images contain a multitude of different structures, like sections, regions of different tissue types and the contained cells. To make sense of these struc- tures, often multiple analysis solutions must be com- bined. A common example is the initial identification of regions-of-interest and the subsequent evaluation of cellular structures with respect to these regions.

Aims
There is no general standard for representing image analysis data. Different analysis solutions may represent analysis data as either XML or JSON documents, spread- sheets or images. When combining multiple analysis solutions, the inconsistent data representation makes it necessary to convert information between different formats and to match related entities. This complicates data analytics considerably. To overcome this problem, we describe an integrated framework for histological image data analytics.

Methods
The framework represents image analysis data in an open relational  data model. Image  regions and cel- lular structures are represented as individual entitieswith properties and mutual relations. The framework incorporates multiple image analysis solutions for identifying image regions or cellular structures with machine-learning methods. The solutions are executed sequentially and populate the data model with more and more information from the image. Every step can take advantage of data generated in previous steps in order to target image processing operations to specific regions, or in order to reuse previously computed image features.

Results
The relational data model greatly simplifies data ana- lytics in histological images. Region-specific statistics about cellular structures, or heat-maps of their spatial distribution can simply be computed by database queries. Furthermore, the relational data model en- ables the efficient management of the huge amounts of data generated by histological image analysis. We demonstrate the generic applicability of the framework by three example applications for the region-specific analysis of nuclear positivity, steatosis and inflammation in whole-slide images.

Determining low-energy constants in partially quenched Wilson chiral perturbation theory

description: In the low energy effective theory describing the partially quenched extension of two light Wilson fermions, three low energy constants (LECs) appear in terms proportional to a^2 (a being the lattice spacing). We propose methods to separately calculate these LECs, typically called W'_6, W'_7 and W'_8. While only one linear combination of these constants enters into physical quantities, different combinations enter into the description of the spectral density and eigenvalue distributions of the lattice Dirac operator and its Hermitian counterpart. Thus it is useful to be able to determine the LECs separately. Our methods require studying certain correlation functions for either two or three pion scattering, which are accessible only in the partially quenched extension of the theory.

description: Recent molecular dynamics simulation methods have enabled thermal conductivity of bulk materials to be estimated. In these simulations, periodic boundary conditions are used to extend the system dimensions to the thermodynamic limit. Such a strategy cannot be used for nanostructures with finite dimensions which are typically much larger than it is possible to simulate directly. To bridge the length scales between the simulated and the actual nanostructures, we perform large-scale molecular dynamics calculations of thermal conductivities at different system dimensions to examine a recently developed conductivity vs. dimension scaling theory for both film and wire configurations. We demonstrate that by an appropriate application of the scaling law, reliable interpolations can be used to accurately predict thermal conductivity of films and wires as a function of film thickness or wire radius at realistic length scales from molecular dynamics simulations. We apply this method to predict thermal conductivities for GaN wurtzite nanostructures.
SelfDesign : an inquiry into authentic learning and co-inspiration
Creators: name: Cameron, Brent
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis is the story of an educator and the unfolding narrative of SelfDesign, a way of thinking about learning and education. It documents and examines the development of SelfDesign as an emerging learning process and outlines its integral principles. I started SelfDesign in 1983 responding to the request of my five-year-old daughter, who, after two weeks in kindergarten, wanted to quit school so that she could learn the things she wanted to learn. Modeled on my insights of my daughter learning how to speak naturally, I designed an integral learning program based on choice, conversation, mutual respect, curiosity, discovery and enthusiasm. Evolving beyond current assumptions about learning as an artifact of instruction, SelfDesign redefines learning as an ontological process of maturation and development, emerging through conversations and relationships. Based on twenty-five years of observing children learning in freedom beyond the paradigm of schooling, I realized that learning is an epistemological process integral to living and unfolding human potential as a learning organism. SelfDesign encourages introspective awareness and provides learners with methodologies, maps and models for designing their learning process. Every learner in SelfDesign creates an individual curriculum ensuring their right to design their own learning, and their learning arises from an innate sense of integrity. The program was called Wondertree (1983-2009 with a dozen young learners), then Virtual High (1993-1997 with 35 teenagers), and is now SelfDesign Learning Community (2002 - present with 1400 learners in a province-wide online program). This thesis, relying on data from the interviews of 27 randomly selected SelfDesign graduates (average age 27.5), identifies themes that SelfDesign encourages: freedom, self- responsibility, learning how to learn, becoming known and seen as an integral individual, feeling empowered as the author and authority of one’s life, experiencing the synergistic effect of respect and love in a community, discovering the praxis of learning as living in co-inspiration, and discovering one’s purpose. The graduates share a sense that SelfDesigning is a transformational experience and an empowering process that has inspired each of them to become enthusiastic, authentic lifelong learners.

Comparing the Accretion Disk Evolution of Black Hole and Neutron Star X-ray Binaries from Low to Super-Eddington Luminosity

description: Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are systems in which a low-mass companion transfers mass via Roche-lobe overflow onto a black hole (BH) or a weakly magnetized neutron star (NS). It is believed that both the solid surface and the magnetic field of an NS can affect the accretion flow and show some observable effects. Using the disk emission dominant data, we compare the disk evolution of the two types of systems from low luminosity to super-Eddington luminosity. As the luminosity decreases the disk in the NS LMXB 4U1608--522 begins to leave the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) at much higher luminosity ($\sim$ 0.1 $L_{\mathrm{Edd}}$), compared with BH LMXBs at much lower luminosity ($\sim$ 0.03 $L_{\mathrm{Edd}}$), due to the interaction between the NS magnetosphere and accretion flow. However, as the luminosity increases above a critical luminosity, the disks in BH and NS LMXBs trace the same evolutionary pattern, because the magnetosphere is restricted inside ISCO, and then both the NS surface emission and (dipole) magnetic field do not significantly affect the secular evolution of the accretion disk, that is driven by the increased radiation pressure in the inner region. We further suggest that the NS surface emission provides additional information of accretion disk, not available in BH systems. Through the observed NS surface emission, we argue that the disk thickness $H/R$ is less than $0.3-0.4$, and that the significant outflow from inner disk edge exists at luminosity close to Eddington luminosity.
