In her June 1984 interview with Michael Cooke, Brenda Stone discussed her work with DHEC and her relationship with the community organizations that dealt with sickle cell. Stone discussed topics of DHEC's role in handling sickle...
BACKGROUND: Randomised trials of vitamin D supplementation for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality have generally reported null findings. However, generalisability of results to individuals with low vitamin D status...
Abstract: A measurement of four branching-fraction ratios for three-body decays of B mesons involving two open-charm hadrons in the final state is presented. Run 1 and Run 2 pp collision data are used, recorded by the LHCb...
Abstract: The first full angular analysis of the B0→D∗−Ds∗+ decay is performed using 6 fb−1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The Ds∗+→Ds+γ and D*− → D¯0π− vector meson...
Abstract: The decay-time-dependent CP asymmetry in B0→ D∗±D∓ decays is mea- sured using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1 recorded by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass...

Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B± → D(*)K± and B± → D(*)π± decays are presented, where D(∗) indicates a neutral D or D∗ meson that is an admixture of meson and anti-meson states. Decays of the D(∗) meson to the Dπ0...

An in situ experiment in a full scale timber frame test building was carried out to compare the hygrothermal performance of Hemp and Stone Wool insulations of identical thermal conductivity. Hemp and Stone Wool insulations were...
Observational studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher risk of pain. However, evidence on the effect of vitamin D supplementation on pain is limited and contradictory. The aim of this study was to...
Raw material analyses of prehistoric stone tool assemblages can reveal insight into mobility and exchange patterns in hunter-gatherer populations by reconstructing the circulation of stone throughout ancient landscapes. In...
Humans have had a major impact on the environment. This has been particularly intense in the last millennium but has been noticeable since the development of food production and the associated higher population densities in the...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a nomogram that could predict spontaneous stone passage (SSP) in patients presenting with acute ureteric colic who are suitable for conservative management. SUBJECT/PATIENTS: A 2517 patient dataset was...
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for bone health and may influence the risks of respiratory illness, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and chronic diseases of adulthood. Because many countries have a relatively low supply of foods...
A search for the $B^0_s \!\rightarrow D^{*\pm} D^\mp$ decay is performed
using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of $7$, $8$ and
$13\,\text{TeV}$ collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to...
Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ and $B^\pm \to D
\pi^\pm$ decays are presented, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$
and $\bar{D}^0$ states. The $D$ meson is reconstructed in the three-body...
Numerous and extensive 'Stone Walled Sites' have been identified in southern African Iron Age landscapes. Appearing from around 1200 CE, and showing considerable variability in size and form, these settlements are named after...
In this paper, the behaviour of a soil-foundation system supported on a stone column-reinforced liquefiable soil strata is investigated through finite element analysis. The numerical analyses are performed on a five story...
The Grier Professorship is awarded every four years to an excellent classroom teacher who is highly imaginative, dependable and in command of his or her discipline. Stone, who previously held the title from 2002-05, follows...
Eastern Africa has played a prominent role in debates about human evolution and dispersal due to the presence of rich archaeological, palaeoanthropological and palaeoenvironmental records. However, substantial disconnects occur...
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is produced primarily in the lung and is involved in regulating pulmonary surfactants, lipid homeostasis and innate immunity. Circulating SP-D levels in blood are associated with chronic obstructive...
The decay-time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0 \to D^{*\pm}D^{\mp}$ decays
is measured using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
$9$fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions...
