Understanding the reproductive biology of giant pandas: predictive biomarkers for reproductive success
Giant pandas are a global symbol for conservation, with recent efforts resulting in the species’ down-grading from endangered to vulnerable. Despite this, there are still many unknowns regarding their reproductive physiology. Giant pandas are monoestrus with a variably timed Spring estrus. …

When Your Home Becomes a Panda Park: The Opportunity and Upheaval of China's Giant Panda National Park
… the park marked an unequivocal win for giant pandas. But for the 100,000 people already living in and around the borders, the outcome was not as clear. The GPNP seeks to establish a harmonious balance between biodiversity protection and human development. But the vast amount of land covered by …

Risk-averse multi-armed bandits and game theory
… on different servers. We propose the Blind GB-PANDAS algorithm that utilizes an exploration-exploitation scheme to load balance incoming tasks on servers in an online fashion. We prove that Blind GB-PANDAS is throughput optimal, i.e. it stabilizes the system as long as the task arrival rates …

Near-data scheduling for data centers with multiple levels of data locality
… with two levels of data locality including the Pandas algorithm by Xie et al. and the JSQ-MW algorithm by Wang et al., where the former is both throughput and heavy-traffic optimal, while the latter is only throughput optimal, but heavy-traffic optimal in only a special traffic load. We show …
