Introducing AI in Pension Planning: A Comparative Study of Deep Learning and Mamdani Fuzzy Inference Systems for Estimating Replacement Rates

Mathematics
Funded pensions have become a key focus in strategies to ensure supplementary income during retirement. This paper explores two distinct approaches for estimating replacement rates: a deep learning model and a Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System (FIS).

IGF2 knockout reduces but does not abolish osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To test whether endogenous IGF2 promotes osteosarcoma growth, IGF2 was knocked out in Saos2 cells via CRISPR‐Cas9. KO cells showed reduced proliferation in vitro, and knockout xenografts in mice reached only ~25% of wild‐type tumor volume. Insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is implicated in osteosarcoma, but direct functional evidence of its role is ...

Excitatory, inhibitory and structural plasticity produce correlated connectivity in random networks trained to solve paired-stimulus tasks

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2011
The pattern of connections among cortical excitatory cells with overlapping arbors is non-random. In particular, correlations among connections produce clustering – cells in cliques connect to each other with high probability, but with lower probability ...

Characterization of the key membrane protein cytochrome Cyc2 from Ghiorsea bivora

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study reports the first detailed biochemical analysis of Cyc2TAG1_1, a cytochrome protein involved in microbial iron oxidation. We produced and purified this enzyme in E. coli, then measured its iron‐oxidizing efficiency, and characterized its electrical and structural properties.

From static archetypes toward dynamic, condition-aware archetypes in UBEM: an integrative review with an illustrative case demonstration

Frontiers in Energy Research
Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM) is often used for large-scale renovation planning. However, UBEM traditionally uses static archetypes, which fail to reflect the current state of buildings, particularly in partially renovated stocks.

Design and evaluation of FEBS Education and Training Academy module – Integrating generative artificial intelligence into life‐science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Life‐science educators from 14 countries redesigned their own course materials with generative AI in a three‐session, pedagogy‐first FEBS Education and Training Academy workshop built on PICRAT. Among 12 matched respondents, four more reported high confidence in each of five practical domains, and 10 of 13 reported implementing at least one idea ...
