This work focuses on the use of mult i-criteria decision-making method AHP for using in educational and vocational guidance. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), proposed by the mathematician Thomas Saaty in 1980, is a method of analysis greatly used in the context of a mult i-criteria analysis; it allows the comparison and the choice between the preset options. To achieve this goal, a vital wor...

Neuropeptides are known to modulate the excitability of mammalian sympathetic neurons by their actions on various types of K+ and Ca2+ channels. We used whole cell patch-clamp recording methods to study the actions of substance P (SP) on dissociated adult guinea pig stellate ganglion (SG) neurons. Under current-clamp conditions, SG neurons exhibited overshooting action potentials followed by af...

Spike-frequency adaptation causes reduced spiking during prolonged stimulation, but the full impact of adaptation on neural coding is far more complex, especially if one takes into account the diversity of biophysical mechanisms mediating adaptation and the different ways in which neural information can be encoded. Here, we show that adaptation has opposite effects depending on the neural codin...

DS/AHP is a technique for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), based on the Dempster-Shafer Theory of evidence (DST) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Since its introduction it has been developed and applied by a number of authors, as well as form the foundation for other DST related MCDM techniques. This paper reviews the evolution and impact of DS/AHP, culminating in a critical pers...

Trains of action potentials in CA1 pyramidal neurons are followed by a prolonged calcium-dependent postburst afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that serves to limit further firing to a sustained depolarizing input. A reduction in the AHP accompanies acquisition of several types of learning and increases in the AHP are correlated with age-related cognitive impairment. The AHP develops primarily as the...
