Comparative osteohistology of Hesperornis with reference to pygoscelid penguins: the effects of climate and behaviour on avian bone microstructure [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2014 The broad biogeographic distribution of Hesperornis fossils in Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway deposits has prompted questions about whether they endured polar winters or migrated between mid- and high latitudes.

The effects of enhanced Z penguins on lepton polarizations in $B \to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$
, 2004 The sensitivity of the $B \to \pi K$ mode to electroweak penguins and the recent experimental data for the $B \to \pi \pi$, $\pi K$ modes has given rise to what is known as the ``$B \to \pi K$ puzzle''. Recently it has been observed that this {\sl puzzle}

Impacts of local human activities on the Antarctic environment [PDF]
, 2008 We review the scientific literature, especially from the past decade, on the impacts of human activities on the Antarctic environment. A range of impacts has been identified at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.

Two Body B Decays, Factorization and LambdaQCD/mb Corrections [PDF]
, 2001 By using the recent experimental measurements of B -> pi pi and B -> K pi branching ratios, we find that the amplitudes computed at the leading order of the LambdaQCD/mb expansion disagree with the observed BRs, even taking into account the uncertainties

Effects of Quenching and Partial Quenching on Penguin Matrix Elements [PDF]
, 2001 In the calculation of non-leptonic weak decay rates, a "mismatch" arises when the QCD evolution of the relevant weak hamiltonian down to hadronic scales is performed in unquenched QCD, but the hadronic matrix elements are then computed in (partially ...

REDUCING PENGUIN POLLUTION [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2013 The most common decay used for measuring 2βs, the phase of [Formula: see text] mixing, is [Formula: see text]. This decay is dominated by the color-suppressed tree diagram, but there are other contributions due to gluonic and electroweak penguin diagrams.

Penguin Biogeography Along the West Antarctic Peninsula: Testing the Canyon Hypothesis with Palmer LTER Observations [PDF]
Oceanography, 2013 The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is home to large breeding colonies of the ice-dependent Antarctic Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae). Although the entire inner continental shelf is highly productive, with abundant phytoplankton and krill populations,

CP Violation and the Role of Electroweak Penguins in Non-leptonic B Decays
, 1996 The phenomenon of CP violation in the B system and strategies for extracting CKM phases are reviewed. We focus both on general aspects and on some recent developments including CP-violating asymmetries in B_d decays, the B_s system in light of a possible
