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...
"Patrick Dougherty: Stick Work," a series of photographs of Dougherty's past installations, will run March 31-May 7 at Gallery Up in Rock Hill. Opening March 26, an exhibition of the works of N.C. painter Jeremiah Miller will...
Patrick, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, will use the $7,500 award to attend medical school at Western University of Health Sciences of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific in Pomona, California. He was a recipient last year of...

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...

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...
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...
Patrick Brown is an independent scholar in Honolulu, Hawaii. Before moving to Hawaii, he taught in the philosophy department and the school of law at Seattle University. Brown received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston...
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...
