Heterotopic pregnancy is the coexistency of intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy. The incidence of heterotopic pregnancy is about 1 to 30,000 pregnancy in a natural cycle. However, the frequency of heterotopic pregnancy has steadily increased because of rising incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic surgery and the development of ovulation induction and assisted reproduction. Because heterotopic pregnancy is difficult due to diagnose and it has high morbidity and mortality rate, one should always take this into consideration and should conduct careful and thorough gynecologic evaluation. We have experienced a case of heterotopic pregnancy in a 29-year old woman who presented with acute abdominal pain in a natural cycle and report this case with a brief review of literature.

Generally, a time-varying vibration signal is generated in a rotating machine system, and when there is a failure in the rotating machine, the signal contains noise. In this paper, we propose a system consisting of an adaptive predictor and a binary tree filter bank for analyzing time - varying vibration signals with noise. And the vibration signal analyzed results in this system is used for fault diagnosis of the rotating machine. The adaptive predictor of the proposed system predicts the periodic signal components, and the filter bank system decomposes the difference signal between the input signal and the predicted periodic signal into subband. Since each subband signal includes a noise signal component due to a failure, it is possible to diagnose the failure of the using rotary machine. The validity of the proposed vibration signal analysis method is shown in the simulations, where the periodic components cancelled vibrating signals are decomposed to 32 subband, and the signal characteristics related faults are analyzed.

The importance of the life cycle cost analysis(LCCA) for apartment housing remodeling projects has been fully recognized over the last decade. Accordingly theoretical models, guidelines, and supporting software systems were developed for the life cycle cost analysis of apartment housing remodeling systems. However, the level of consensus on LCCA results is still low due to the lack of reliable data on remodeling activities for safety diagnosis. in order to predict the reliability based LCCA of the given case, suggested the remodeling strategies level after reviewing other related materials. Apply the real information of the economic index. And based on such analytical measures, remodeling and operation cost and LCC in remodeling strategies level have been predicted; suggests the basic information about remodeling interventions level for the apartment housing. The LCC analysis models and the fuzzy logic based safety assessment presented in this study can greatly contribute to the value-oriented design alternative selection, estimation of the economic analysis, and the allocation of budget for apartm.

The selection of appropriate ground motions and reasonable modification are becoming increasingly critical in reliable prediction on seismic performance of structures. A widely used amplitude scaling approach is not sufficient for robust structural evaluation considering a site specific seismic hazard because only one spectral value is matched to the design spectrum typically at the structural fundamental period. Hence alternative approaches for ground motion selection and modifications have been suggested. However, there is no means to evaluate such methodologies yet. In this study, it is focused to describe the main questions resided in the amplitude scaling approach and to propose a regression model for structural damage as point of comparison. Spectrum compatible approach whose resulting spectrum matches the design spectrum at the entire range of the structural period is considered as alternative to be compared to the amplitude scaling approach. The design spectrum is generated according to ASCE7-05.

The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of X-ray generators installed in hospitals and universities and apply the quality control items of diagnostic X-ray generators to recognize the importance of periodic performance management. First, the reproducibility and linearity test results showed that the PAE of the reproducibility evaluation was high for the GX-650 devices that met the acceptance criteria in all the experimental conditions and lacked the periodic quality control. In the linearity evaluation, when the tube voltage was set to 100 kVp, It was measured to deviate from the error. In addition, it was found that the PAE in the low-accuracy evaluation results relative to an X-ray tube voltage and tube current of the device low occurrence frequency. The HVL experiment was included in all of the devices at the HVL by tube voltage. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the importance of quality control of all devices rather than hospital and laboratory, and to manage the device performance by actively managing the device, and to establish a short - term quality control system like special medical devices.

The purpose of this paper is to study of the applicability of the current response spectrum analysis method by grasping the dynamic behavior characteristics of soil-pile and pier-crane in pile mooring facilities. To this end, time history analysis was performed using Abaqus as a design variable for various soil types, pile-ground modeling, and structure specific cycles. The results were compared with the analysis results of the response spectrum. Subsequently, a problem has been found in the current response spectrum analysis and the improvements are needed when considering the dynamic behavior of the ground-pile and pier-crane of the pile mooring facility.

Purpose: $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT has been known a useful modality to diagnose high-glucose-using cells such as cancer cells by glucose metabolism of FDG. Mainly, FDG takes on cancer and inflammatory cells; However, There have been FDG uptakes on normal tissues by individual physiological characteristics, occasionally. Especially, in fertile females, unusual FDG uptake of breast changes as the menstrual cycle, and disturb diagnosis. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the change of breast FDG uptake in menstrual cycle on $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT. Materials and Methods: 160 females ($34{\pm}3.5$ years old) who do not undergo a gynecologic anamnesis and have regular menstrual cycle over the previous 6 months were examined, from March 2009 to February 2010. They were divided 4 groups (each 40 patients) as flow phase, proliferative phase, ovulatory phase and secretory phase using Pregnancy Calculator 0.14. and history taking. Discovery Ste (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, Mi, USA) was used as PET/CT. We analyzed SUVs on accumulated region on breast, and 3 nuclear medicine specialists did the Blind test. Results: SUVs on the Breast were flow phase ($1.64{\pm}0.25$), proliferative phase ($0.93{\pm}0.28$), ovulatory phase ($1.66{\pm}0.26$) and secretory phase ($1.77{\pm}0.28$). It showed high uptake value in secretory, flow phase and ovulatory phase (p<0.05). In gross analysis, the accumulation of breast was divided into 3 grades as comparing with lung and liver. The breast's uptake was equal to lung (Grade I); between lung and liver (Grade II); equal to or greater than liver (Grade III). The results showed high uptake value in secretory, flow phase and ovulatory phase (p<0.05). Conclusion: In fertile females, FDG uptake of breast changed as menstrual cycle, and it available to diagnose breast disease. Therefore, we consider reducing false-negative finding of breast disease, by doing examination on appropriate period through history taking about individual menstrual cycle.

This paper presents a design method to minimize Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of steel box girders. The LCC considered in this paper includes initial cost, expected life-cycle maintenance cost and repair cost. A load carrying capacity curve is derived from a condition grade curve of steel girders and load tarrying capacity that is measured in safety diagnostic test. And then, optimal design of steel box girders is performed on the basis of load carrying capacity curve. In this paper time and number of times for repair of steel girders are determined based on the calculated load carrying capacity curve. Also, annual costs considering real discount rate are compared and analyzed in various cases. It is concluded that the optimal design of steel box gilders considering LCC by the presented method will lead to more economical and safer girders than conventional design.
