Methods: This study compared the analgesic effect of MF strengths (1, 5, and 10 mT) in 30 adults, male Wistar albino rats weighing 200-250 g. The analgesic effects were measured using tail-flick (TF) and hot-plate (HP) tests. To determine the optimum MF strength, rats were assigned into four groups: sham group and exposed to 1, 5, and 10 mT MF groups. Rats were placed in a solenoid, and MF of 50 Hz for 165 min was administered daily for 15 days. All four groups were kept in the solenoid for 165 min/15 days and exposed to MF. However, the analgesic effect was measured only on day 0, 4, 7, 11, and 15 using TF and HP tests. The latencies of analgesia were converted to a percentage of maximal antinociceptive effects (% MPE). Results: When the maximum analgesic effect of the 5 mT MF was determined on the seventh day, the% MPEs were 5.37±0.51, 13.66±1.27, 25.89±3.00, and 25.37±2.41 in the sham, 1 mT, 5 mT, and 10 mT groups, respectively. The optimum effect was observed with 5 mT MF on the seventh day and with 90 min in the solenoid. Conclusion: We didn't find any differences between the analgesic responses to the TF and HP tests.

Because of the complexity, nonlinearity, and dead time, temperature control of the oven is still delegated to many factors. In the computer-aided design process, the mathematical model of the system is derived with an open-loop response. The extracted model is used to obtain the conventional PI control parameters and adjust the PI type fuzzy rule base, which is mainly derived intuitively from the control engineering point of view. Using traditional PI parameters and Fuzzy logic PI rule base, real-time temperature control was realized with the PWM signal generated at the output of the PIC18F4520 microcontroller. The PWM signal produced at the output of the PIC18F4520 microcontroller is used to drive the power circuit designed using IGBT's. Oven responses are obtained for both Fuzzy and PI control systems, in which the developed PI fuzzy control has better performance with less overshoot, less rising and settling time, and smaller steady-state error. A detailed description of designed control systems and experimental works with performance are given.

The system consists of two parts: hardware and software. The hardware part of the system collects the performances of sportmen in test area by sensors and sends collected data to software system wirelessly. The processes of collecting and sending data are performed by electronic circuits with microcontroller. The software part of the system consists of two modules executed in desktop and Web platforms. The desktop module is in charge of evaluating data obtained from hardware and transfer them to database, Web module performs reporting processes including enrollment, computing exam marks and announce them online. Agile software development methodologies have been used in designing system and software development. Thus, it has been aimed to develop an IT project that have a higher performance, lower error and meets expectations of clients. The software development processes of the project has been examined.
