The Concept of Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
What constitutes a good life? Few questions are of more fundamental importance to a positive psychology. Flow research has yielded one answer, providing an understanding of experiences during which individuals are fully involved in the present moment. Viewed through the experiential lens of flow, a good life is one that is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. In this chapter, we describe the flow model of optimal experience and optimal development, explain how flow and related constructs have been measured, discuss recent work in this area, and identify some promising directions for future research.

COVERT Based Algorithms for Solving the Generalized Tardiness Flow Shop Problems
Four heuristic algorithms are developed for solving the generalized version of tardiness flow shop problems. We consider the generalized tardiness flow shop model with minimization of the total tardiness as its performance measure. We modify the concept of cost over time (COVERT) for the generalized version of the flow shop tardiness model and employ this concept for developing four algorithms....

The concept of Soteriology is a worldwide global belief which can be seen through out the human existence.This belief has emerged in myths, religions and different cultures.One of the most striking narations of its concept, is the flood which is said to exterminate the mankind and the ark to rescue chosen ones.This incident can be tracked within writen and vocal litrature and images from the my...
متن کاملThe Minimum Universal Cost Flow in an Infeasible Flow Network
In this paper the concept of the Minimum Universal Cost Flow (MUCF) for an infeasible flow network is introduced. A new mathematical model in which the objective function includes the total costs of changing arc capacities and sending flow is built and analyzed. A polynomial time algorithm is presented to find the MUCF.
متن کاملDischarge Estimation by using Tsallis Entropy Concept
Flow-rate measurement in rivers under different conditions is required for river management purposes including water resources planning, pollution prevention, and flood control. This study proposed a new discharge estimation method by using a mean velocity derived from a 2D velocity distribution formula based on Tsallis entropy concept. This procedure is done based on several factors which refl...
متن کاملVelocity Distribution in the 90-degree Bend based on the Probability and Entropy Concept
Practical concept of velocity distribution of pressure flow in the bends is interesting and hence, the professional engineering design has been investigated in the current study. This paper shows that velocity distribution in the bends can be analyzed in terms of the probability distributions. The concept of entropy based on the probability is an applied and new approach to achieve velocity pro...
متن کاملInvestigation of Swirling and Tumbling Flow Pattern of Spark Ignition Engine
Gas motion within the cylinder is one of the major factors that control the combustion process in spark ignition engine. It also has significant impact on heat transfer. Both the bulk gas motion and the turbulence characteristics of the flow are important and governing the overall behavior of the flow. An arrangement for obtaining a stratified charge, using port injection, is proposed for a ...
