Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is a lack of awareness about paralysis following stroke. Recent explanations use a 'forward model' of movement to suggest that AHP patients fail to register discrepancies between internally- and externally-generated sensory information. We predicted that this failure would impair the ability to recall from memory whether information is internally- or externally-...

Previous research indicates that an age-related increase in the amplitude of the Ca2+-dependent, K+-mediated afterhyperpolarization (AHP) is related to cognitive decline. However, because the AHP is measured following completion of training, it is unclear whether the AHP amplitude is strictly dependent on biological aging or is modified by the training procedure. To address this distinction we ...

Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is relatively common among patients who suffer from a stroke. It is characterized as a denial of bodily paralysis and the complexity of studying it is evident. Anosognosia is a neuropsychological deficit of self-awareness and most frequently associated with both cortical and subcortical lesions distributed within the right hemisphere, resulting in a left hemiple...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) proposed by T. L. Saaty has been widely used in decision making. Inner dependence method AHP is used for cases in which criteria or alternatives are not independent enough and using the original AHP or inner dependence AHP may cause results to lose reliability because the comparison matrix is not necessarily sufficiently consistent. In such cases, fuzzy repr...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is major method for decision making, and inner dependence AHP is used for cases in which criteria or/and alternatives are not independent enough. Using the original AHP or inner dependence AHP may cause results that cannot have enough reliability because of the inconsistency of the comparison matrix. In such cases, fuzzy representation for weighting criteria or/...

This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...

In SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) assessments, the rating of a process attribute is determined by the aggregated achievements of associated MPs (management practices). Previous rating scale usability studies revealed that experienced assessors had difficulty distinguishing the boundaries between adjacent ratings: Fully and Largely, Largely and Partially, and P...

The object of this paper is to demonstrate how critics can mislead themselves and others in pursuing examples and ideas that draw false conclusions. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has clear requirements that involve both the hierarchical structure and the priorities in the structure. Any example that purports to show that the AHP does not give correct results must first follow these requi...

The advantages of using isolated cells have led us to develop short-term cultures of hippocampal pyramidal cells, which retain many of the properties of cells in acute preparations and in particular the ability to generate afterhyperpolarizations after a train of action potentials. Using perforated-patch recordings, both medium and slow afterhyperpolarization currents (mI(AHP) and sI(AHP), resp...

JMP® scripting language (JSL) can be used to implement the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP helps decisionmakers choose the best solution from several options and selection criteria. Thomas Saaty developed AHP as a decision-making method in the 1970s. AHP has broad applications in operations research, quality engineering, and design-for-six-sigma (DFSS) situations. AHP builds a hierarchy (...
