Foraging ecology of the African Penguin Spheniscus demersus in relation to ocean physical processes.
… by adjusting their dive behaviour to subsurface thermal structures. Penguins also demonstrated foraging optimization by using temperature cues and behavioral switching to maximize the probability of locating prey patches on a fine temporal and spatial scale.

Thermal and Mechanical Response of Curved Composite Panels
… composite panels subjected to combinations of thermal and mechanical loading conditions. Mechanical loading is due to compressive end-shortening and thermal loading is due to a uniform temperature increase. Thermal stresses, which are induced by mechanical restraints against thermal expansions …

Global Structure of the Mantle Transition Zone Discontinuities and Site Response Effects in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain
… topics in seismology: imaging the global structures of the mantle transition zone discontinuities and studying the site response effects in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain. Global structures of the mantle transition zone discontinuities provide important constraints on thermal …

The Relationship Between Intraplate Earthquakes and Temperature
… anomalies, topography, and seismic velocity and thermal structures. Teleseismic waveform-modelling is used to constrain the focal depths of 18 earthquakes, which are used along with published teleseismic and local-event studies to examine the seismogenic thickness (T<sub>s</sub>) in the Baikal …

On the Improvements of Boundary-Layer Representation for High Resolution Weather Forecasting in Costal-Urban Environments
… provide: (1) a climatology of coastal-urban PBL thermal structure, (2) an evaluation of a PBL scheme newly coupled to a multilayer urban parameterization, and (3) insights for operational weather forecasting. Ground-based remote sensing is thus used to determine PBL structure over high-density …

Gravity Wave and Turbulence Transport in the Mesopause Region
… of 0:6Kms 1 at 93km. The derived mean turbulence thermal diffusivity and energy dissipation rate are 43m2s 1 and 37mWkg 1, respectively. The mean net cooling resulted from the heat transport and energy dissipation is 4:9 1:5Kd 1, comparable to that due to gravity wave transport at 7:9 1:9Kd 1. …

The effect of a shallow low viscosity zone on mantle convection and its expression at the surface of the earth
… of these anomalies require additional convective thermal sources at depths below the plate: mid-plate swells, the evolution of fracture zones, the mean depth and heat flow relationships with age and the observation of small scale (150-250 km) geoid and topography anomalies in the Central Pacific …
