Physical Review D, 2004 We examine spherical p-branes in AdS_m x S^n, that wrap an S^p in either AdS_m (p=m-2) or S^n (p=n-2). We first construct a two-spin giant solution expanding in S^n and has spins both in AdS_m and S^n. For (m,n)={(5,5),(4,7),(7,4)}, it is 1/2 supersymmetric, and it reduces to the single-spin giant graviton when the AdS spin vanishes.

Fecal Metabolomics Reveals the Foraging Strategies of Giant Pandas for Different Parts of Bamboo
Animals, 2023 Climate change-induced food shortages pose major threats to wildlife conservation, and the exclusive reliance of giant pandas on bamboo makes them particularly vulnerable.

Characterization of the complete mitogenome sequence of the giant panda tick Haemaphysalis hystricis
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 The blood-sucking tick Haemaphysalis hystricis is a common ectoparasite of the giant panda and represents a significant threat to both wild and captive populations. Herein, the complete mitogenome of H.

Intestinal acetic acid regulates the synthesis of sex pheromones in captive giant pandas
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 As a typical solitary animal, adult giant pandas rely on chemical signals (sex pheromones) to transmit reproductive information during oestrous. Although researchers have confirmed that the gut microbiota is related to the emission and reception of sex ...

Science, 2014 In 1960, my grandfather ascended to 102,800 feet in a gondola lifted by a polymer balloon and, after saying a brief prayer, jumped. He fell for more than 4 minutes before landing safely in the desert of New Mexico, proving that people could survive the hostility of space, and pioneering technology to protect human life in that environment. Years later,

Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 2008 Tonsilloliths or calculi of the tonsil are calcifications that form in the crypts of the palatine tonsil or around it. Small concretions are asymptomatic while large calcifications produce symptoms such as odynophygia, dysphagia and referred otalgia.

Techno-Giants: The Giant, the Machine and the Human
DiGRA Digital Library, 2020 The relationship between humankind and technology is fundamental, but also a longstanding source of unease, particularly as that relationship has become ever more intimate and irreversible. In this paper, I connect this age-old anxiety with the age-old figure of the giant, a monster similarly intertwined with ancient questions on the boundaries of ...
