Purpose of the study

Self-stimulatory behaviors are common among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Cunningham & Schreibman, 2008). Aggression is also a common behavior problem among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Hill et al., 2014). Various scholars have suggested that an association exists between the self-stimulatory behaviors found in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and aggressive behavior, another common behavior challenge (Dominic et al., 2007 and Kanne & Mazurek, 2011). The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship that exists between the self-stimulatory behavior and aggressive behavior in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

Fuel Cell Technologies in Passenger Cars

Fuel Cell Technology The last decade is characterized by the rapid development of research activity in the field of fuel cells, thus, creating the conditions for their uptake in electric systems. The basic fuel cells’ operating principle has been known for 150 years. However, a variety of technical and financial problems had kept them on the margins of technological applications (Brandon & Hart, 1999). The basic difference between a fuel cell and batteries is that while batteries store energy, fuel cells directly convert a fuel’s chemical energy into electricity by an electrochemical reaction (i.e. Without requiring combustion or movement ...

Sensors detect an input event and control an output event. The output often requires different timing than that of the input event. Sometimes several inputs must jointly produce an output event. In other words, logic alters the raw sensor signal so that it is directly useful for controlling local action in response to sensed events (Ouzounov et al., 2006). A sensor is an interactive application; it expresses interest in an event by defining a sensitive ‘region' and an event type. For example, if a sensor wishes to receive events directed to a geographical object, it can define its region ...
