When Your Home Becomes a Panda Park: The Opportunity and Upheaval of China's Giant Panda National Park
In December 2016, China launched the Giant Panda National Park (GPNP). A massive ecological initiative aimed at safeguarding its beloved national symbol and international icon of conservation, the park marked an unequivocal win for giant pandas. But for the 100,000 people already living in and …

Runtime execution tracing and alignment with PANDA
… for Architecture-Neutral Dynamic Analysis (PANDA) which tracks control flow at runtime at the basic block level, recording a hash of the current location in program structure at every conditional jump. By considering only control flow history up to and including the current stack frame, …

Response of Flooded Asphalt Pavement using PANDA
Moisture damage is one of the major causes of deterioration of pavements. An example is the damage caused by flooding. While the effects of pore water pressure in pavement have been studied using finite element modeling, few of the models consider a realistic moving tire and the viscoelastic …

Automatic Parallel Input/output Performance Optimization in Panda
… that with proper use of these strategies, the Panda performance model can be used to select high quality parameter settings for a wide spectrum of system conditions with a low optimization overhead. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Panda: Fast access to persistent arrays using high-level interfaces and server directed input/output
Multidimensional arrays are a fundamental data type in scientific computing and are used extensively across a broad range of applications. Often these arrays are persistent, i.e., they outlive the invocation of the program that created them. Portability and performance with respect to input and …

Learning Diffusion Models to Enable Efficient Sampling for Task and Motion Planning on a Panda Robot
A search then sample approach to bilevel planning in the context of task and motion planning is one method of effectively solving multi-step robotics problems. In this planning framework, high-level plans of abstract actions are refined into low-level continuous transitions by sampling controller …

The Role of Community Participation in Sustainable National Park Management: Insights from the Giant Panda National Park, China
… system was only recently established. The Giant Panda National Park (GPNP), one of China's first five national parks, was established in 2021 with a strict policy prioritizing protection. Given the large local populations within the GPNP who rely heavily on natural resources for their …

Resolution Studies for the Micro Vertex Detector of the PANDA Experiment and the Reconstruction of Charmed Mesons for Specific Hadronic Channels
The PANDA experiment is planned as part of the extended GSI facility FAIR to investigate hadronic reactions in antiproton-proton annihilations. An excellent beam quality and high luminosity is expected which allows the investigation of hadronic reactions such as the spectroscopy of the charmonium …

Identifying lateral spread fissures with ground penetrating radar in the New Madrid seismic zone
… correlated to two trenches and one hand-dug pit. Panda cone penetration tests (Panda CPT) were performed at three sites and correlated to the GPR data. 3D GPR models were created for each GPR survey, and grain size analyses were performed for sediment samples taken from both trenches and the pit. …

Establishing a strategy to create a safe community space in and around Selwyn Reserve, Mission Bay, Auckland
… phase and during a community led hui. Un-tested PANDA Model At the time of the research PANDA (Problem, Analyse, Nominate, Deploy, Assess the impact) was an untested method for solving chronic issues. Research findings identified what the issue at Mission Bay was, when it occurred, and who was …

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. …

Efficient Data Organization and Load Balancing on Parallel Disks
… all proposed approaches on IBM SP2s, using the Panda parallel I/O library as a testbed, show that our strategies significantly reduce the I/O time required for the checkpoint and snapshot operations of large simulations.

Supporting I/O for Remote Visualization of High-Performance Scientific Simulations
We present the results of experiments with the Panda parallel I/O library that show that our proposed approach to data migration can reduce application turnaround time significantly. We also show that our declustering approaches can reduce the retrieval time for visualization queries on …

Increased genome sampling reveals novel insights into vertebrate molecular evolution
… in such studies is that separating giant panda and polar bear. The exact timing of this important calibration node is currently disputed. The second investigation described in this thesis applied the largest amount of nuclear data currently available in a Bayesian framework to attempt to …
