Test system for Aero Hydraulic Pump (AHP) has many nonlinear characteristics. Take two control strategies, Neural Network Controller (NNC) and Passivity Based Controller (PBC), to control the speed of AHP for measuring its properties. The results gained from comparing and analyzing to these controllers show that under different outlet pressures of AHP PBC has good stability and robustness which...

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...

Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a frequently used method for ranking alternatives. The alternatives to be ranked are modeled based on a set of criteria. The ranking computed by AHP is trusted on faith notwithstanding the fact that a model is an approximation and liable to failure. We present a model to estimate the trust in the AHP ranking. The model helps in determining if it is prudent to...

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-...

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...

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/...

bazargan and poldasht plains are located in the north of west azarbaijan, northwest of iran. in this area, groundwater supplies main water demands. aim of this research is assessment of aquifer vulnerability for contamination potential on the basis of hydrogeological conditions of the study area. for this purpose the combined use of the drastic and geographical information system (gis) demonstr...

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...
