This impairment is due to their lack of social motivation and eye contact during communication, causing insufficient information to the brain for interpreting emotional faces. This paper investigates human brainwaves for understanding affective face processing of ASD children. Pattern classification results are explained based on the 2-dimensional emotion model. The 2-dimensional model explains human emotion in terms of the pleasant/unpleasantness (or valence) and intensity (or arousal). Analysis results revealed that emotion of the non-autistic group is altered towards matching the affective faces currently displayed on the computer monitor. Emotion dynamics of ASD children, however, indicated the trend for reversed valence while watching emotionally related facial expressions.","PeriodicalId":432800,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 3rd International Conference on Information and Communication Technology for the Moslem World (ICT4M) 2010","volume":"321 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114739134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional approach of aldacwah al fardiyyah is selected from the al-Dib's work (2002) while the model of online communication is selected from a model of online learning called as “e-moderating” developed by Salmon (2000). The main elements of the proposed model is based on socialization that should be directed into three levels namely dissemination, participation and mobilization.","PeriodicalId":432800,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 3rd International Conference on Information and Communication Technology for the Moslem World (ICT4M) 2010","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131969853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IEEE 802.11p is the proposed standard for physical and MAC layer of wireless access in vehicular environment (WAVE) devices. The main objective of the new standard is to amend 802.to support vehicle mobility up to 150km/hr and distance 1000km by changing the frame format and increase delay spread tolerance introduced, in which the channel bandwidth is scaled from 20 MHz in 802.11a to 10 MHz in 802.11p.
