Occupational calling is a transcendent summons that originates externally to carry out a particular life role (work) in a manner that demonstrates meaningfulness and holds other-oriented values and goals as the main sources of motivation. The aim of the current study is to advance the study of individual differences in achieving occupational calling at workplace. Every individual varies in the ...

In this paper, the experimental vibration analysis of a single cylinder air compressor based on a hypocycloid straight line mechanism (HSM) is investigated. The HSM mechanism uses planetary gears to convert rotational motion to purely linear motion. In the conventional air compressor, the slider- crank mechanism is replaced by the HSM mechanism with appropriate counterweights. The constructed s...

in this study the operations of melting of au15ag40 nanoalloy have been studied using the molecular dynamic simulations through the gupta multiparticle potential and the nonergodicity of simulations is eliminated by the multiple histogram method. the melting characteristics are determined by the analysis of variations in the potential energy. the calculations indicate that the melting of au15ag...

offshore pipelines used for oil and gas transportation are often buried to avoid damage from fishing activities and to provide thermal insulation. thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline during operation can lead to lateral or upheaval buckling. a safe buried pipeline design must take into account a reliable evaluation of soil uplift resistance and pipe embedment depth. while the cost...

the kinetics and mechanisms of the substitution reactions of trans-[co(en)2cncl]+ with unidentate anions,  , cn¯, i¯,  , br¯ and scn¯ in 60% v/v dmf-h2o binary solvent at 40.0±0.2 °c were studied spectrophotometrically. an id mechanism was assigned for the replacement of chlorine by , cn¯ and i¯, an ia one for the entry of  and scn¯, and a d mechanism for br¯ entry. comparing the interchange ra...

abstract this paper by reviewing the main examples of small to medium-scale retractable roof structures covering building courtyards is to present an innovative rigid retractable roof system employing spatial frames for a courtyard of an existing building in tabriz islamic art university. the courtyard is currently used for temporary exhibitions and gatherings whenever permitted by environmenta...

nowadays, the use of small vehicles is spreading among urban areas and one sort of these vehicles are three-wheeled vehicles (twvs) which can be competitive with four-wheeled urban vehicles (fwvs) in aspects such as smallness, simple manufacturing, and low tire rolling resistance, fuel consumption and so on. the most critical instability associated with twvs is the roll over. in this paper a ti...

one of the significant strategies of the power systems is economic dispatch (ed) problem, which is defined as the optimal generation of power units to produce energy at the lowest cost by fulfilling the demand within several limits. the undeniable impacts of ramp rate limits, valve loading, prohibited operating zone, spinning reserve and multi-fuel option on the economic dispatch of practical p...

The general objective of this study was to reexamine two views of creativity, one positing that there is a general creative capacity or talent and the other that creativity is domain-specific. These two views were compared by (a) testing correlations among measures of domain-general and domain-specific creativity and (b) examining how the general and the specific measures was each related to in...
