Article Synopsis
  • The study reveals that the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) interferes with the host's immune response by destabilizing a protein called IRF3 and manipulating the levels of another protein, HMGB1.
  • It was found that while CSFV infection decreases HMGB1 at the protein level, this protein plays a crucial role in fighting the virus when located in the nucleus, as it enhances immune responses.
  • The virus's protein N increases the acetylation of HMGB1, causing it to move to the cytoplasm where it is degraded, thereby helping CSFV evade the host's antiviral defenses.

Haptic shared control is used to manage the control authority allocation between a human and an autonomous agent in semi-autonomous driving. Existing haptic shared control schemes, however, do not take full consideration of the human agent. To fill this research gap, this study presents a haptic shared control scheme that adapts to a human operator's workload, eyes on road and input torque in real time.
