Article Abstract
Cross-sectional studies may shed light on the evolution of a disease like cancer through the comparison of patient traits among disease stages. This problem is especially challenging when a gene-gene interaction network needs to be reconstructed from omics data, and, in addition, the patients of each stage need not form a homogeneous group. Here, the problem is operationalized as the estimation of stage-wise mixtures of Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) from high-dimensional data. These mixtures are fitted by a (fused) ridge penalized EM algorithm. The fused ridge penalty shrinks GGMs of contiguous stages. The (fused) ridge penalty parameters are chosen through cross-validation. The proposed estimation procedures are shown to be consistent and their performance in other respects is studied in simulation. The down-stream exploitation of the fitted GGMs is outlined. In a data illustration the methodology is employed to identify gene-gene interaction network changes in the transition from normal to cancer prostate tissue.

Materials And Methods: We worked on 14 single-root or premolar teeth with fused roots with an indication for the preservation of the alveolar ridge and the subsequent placement of a dental implant. The techniques performed in the study were the Bartee technique for the preservation of the alveolar crest in seven teeth that presented a good amount of the remaining bone tissue (minimum 4 mm in the apical-coronal direction) or that had a buccal or lingual/palatine wall defect (group A) and the Bio-Col alveolar preservation technique (group B), in seven teeth that presented an intact alveolus (four remaining walls). Xenograft was used in both groups.

Guard cell movements depend, in part, on the remodelling of vacuoles from a highly fragmented state to a fused morphology during stomata opening. Indeed, full opening of plant stomata requires vacuole fusion to occur. Fusion of vacuole membranes is a highly conserved process in eukaryotes, with key roles played by two multi-subunit complexes: HOPS (homotypic fusion and vacuolar protein sorting) and SNARE (soluble NSF attachment protein receptor).

Since surface relief transmission gratings have very strict requirements on operators and use environment, according to the semiconductor laser external cavity spectral beam combining system, this paper proposes a design scheme for a semiconductor laser array spectral beam combining system based on the grating-external cavity. The finite element approach was used to create a wideband, high-efficiency fill-in multilayer dielectric transmission grating structure for a high-power spectrum beam combining system. The incidence angle, ridge height, duty cycle, and sidewall inclination angle of the transmission grating were tuned and evaluated, and a link between the transmission grating's diffraction efficiency and grating characteristics was discovered.

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a retinal disorder affecting preterm babies, which can lead to permanent blindness without treatment. Early-stage ROP diagnosis is vital in providing optimal therapy for the neonates. The proposed study predicts early-stage ROP from neonatal fundus images using Machine Learning (ML) classifiers and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) based pre-trained networks.

Sperm ultrastructure has been successfully used in gastropod taxonomy and here we attempted to identify potential synapomorphies within the Hygrophila, a group of freshwater lung-bearing gastropods, by examining sperm morphology and ultrastructure in two hygrophilan species of the genus Choanomphalus Gerstfeldt, 1859 (Lymnaeoidea: Planorbidae): Ch. riparius (Westerlund, 1865) and Ch. rossmaessleri (A.
