Draculab is a neural simulator with a particular use scenario: firing rate units with delayed connections, using custom-made unit and synapse models, possibly controlling simulated physical systems. Draculab also has a particular design philosophy. It aims to blur the line between users and developers. Three factors help to achieve this: a simple design using Python's data structures, extensive use of standard libraries, and profusely commented source code. This paper is an introduction to Draculab's architecture and philosophy. After presenting some example networks it explains basic algorithms and data structures that constitute the essence of this approach. The relation with other simulators is discussed, as well as the reasons why connection delays and interaction with simulated physical systems are emphasized.

According to the physical characteristics of cotton and the work characteristics of cotton pickers in the field, during the picking process, there is a risk of cotton combustion. The cotton picker working environment is complex, cotton ignition can be hidden, and fire is difficult to detect. Therefore, in this study, we designed an improved algorithm for multi-sensor data fusion; built a cotton picker fire detection system by using infrared temperature sensors, CO sensors, and the upper computer; and proposed a BP neural network model based on improved mutation operator hybrid gray wolf optimizer and particle swarm optimization (MGWO-PSO) algorithm based on the BP neural network model.

According to South Korea's Ministry of Employment and Labor, approximately 25,000 construction workers suffered from various injuries between 2015 and 2019. Additionally, about 500 fatalities occur annually, and multiple studies are being conducted to prevent these accidents and quickly identify their occurrence to secure the golden time for the injured. Recently, AI-based video analysis systems for detecting safety accidents have been introduced.

In this study, in order to solve the problems of resource utilization of electrolytic manganese residue and the destruction of natural resources by the over-exploitation of raw materials of traditional ceramics, electrolytic manganese residue (EMR), red mud (RM), and waste soil (WS) were used to prepare self-foaming expanded ceramsite (SEC), and different firing temperatures and four groups with different mixing ratios of these three raw materials were considered. Water absorption, porosity, heavy metal ion leaching, and compressive strength in the cylinder of SEC were evaluated. The chemical composition and microscopic morphology of SEC were investigated by XRD and SEM.

The sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) has emerged as a significant target in the realm of pain management and has been the subject of extensive research. Nonetheless, its specific function in inflammatory pain within dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons remains inadequately elucidated. This study utilized whole-cell patch clamp techniques, single-cell real-time PCR, and immunohistochemistry to examine the influence of Sig-1R on inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in a rat model.

Background: Effectively managing emotional demands in the workplace is crucial in professions such as healthcare, education, and social work. Recent studies indicate that the psychosocial safety climate within an organization can significantly mitigate the negative effects associated with high emotional demands.
Method: This study examines whether psychosocial safety climate is associated with six practical strategies for managing emotional demands that have previously been found to be associated with less burnout.
