The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) (Saaty, 1990) has been accepted as a leading multiattribute decision model both by practitioners and academics. AHP can solve decision problems in various fields by the prioritization of alternatives. The heart of the most familiar version of the AHP is the Saaty’s eigenvector method (EM) which approximates an positive reciprocal matrix n n× ) ( ij a A = , ,...

Introduction Complex management of JIA comprises of drug treatment, physiotherapy/occupational therapy, education and counselling. It should be provided by a trained multidisciplinary team of physicians and allied health professionals (AHP). In the traditional model, nursing and physiotherapy staff competencies are limited by the leading role of physicians and support of an equally important ro...

Principal neurons in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) exhibit a continuum of firing properties in response to prolonged current injections ranging from those that accommodate fully to those that fire repetitively. In most cells, trains of action potentials are followed by a slow afterhyperpolarization (AHP) lasting several seconds. Reducing calcium influx either by lowering concentratio...

Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) involves techniques which relatively recently have received great increase in interest for their capabilities of solving spatial decision problems. One of the most frequently used techniques of MCDA is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the AHP, decision-makers make pairwise comparisons between different criteria to obtain values of their relative import...

This paper aims to provide an insight to managers on the availability of simple-to-use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a practical tool for inventory management. It provides an example of the useful application of AHP in determining inventory policy for spare parts. It also presents the use of AHP as an analytic planning tool which managers could use to evaluate the feasibility of a desired...

This study presents a generic ontology-based architecture using a multi-criteria decision making technique to design a personalized route planning system. The real world has become too complex to implement entirely within an information system such as geographic information system (GIS). A route planning technique is an essential geo-related decision support tool, especially in intelligent tran...

In lobster olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), depolarizing responses to odorants and current injection are accompanied by the development of an afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that likely contributes to spike-frequency adaptation and that persists for several seconds after termination of the response. A portion of the AHP can be blocked by extracellular application of 5 mM CsCl. At this concentrat...
