This article investigates the cooperative fault-tolerant control problem for multiple high-speed trains (MHSTs) with actuator faults and communication delays.Based on the actor-critic neural network, a distributed sliding mode fault-tolerant controller is designed for MHSTs to solve the problem of actuator faults.To eliminate the negative effects o

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), remnants of ancient germline infections, comprise 8% of the human genome.The most recently integrated includes human ERV-K (HERV-K) where several envelope (env) sequences remain intact.Viral pseudotypes decorated Vitamin B with one of those Envs are infectious.Using a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encoding H
