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...
The higher-carbon sugar l-glycero-d-manno-heptose is a major constituent of the inner core region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of many Gram-negative bacteria. All preparative routes used to date require multiple steps, and...
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...
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...
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...
Online social networks (OSNs) are used to connect people and propagate information around the globe. Along with information propagation, rumors also penetrate across the OSNs in a massive order. Controlling the rumor propagation...

The first full angular analysis of the $B^0 \to D^{*-} D_s^{*+}$ 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 $D_s^{*+} \to...
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 experiment...
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...
Although observational studies suggest positive vitamin D-lung function associations, randomized trials are inconsistent. We examined effects of vitamin D supplementation on lung function. We recruited 442 adults (50-84 years...
OBJECTIVES: The steroid hormone vitamin D has roles in immunomodulation and bone health. Insufficiency is associated with susceptibility to respiratory infections. We report 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) measurements in...

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...
Glutamine (Gln) is often a difficult amino acid to incorporate during solution-phase peptide synthesis, owing to poor solubility and unwanted dehydrations as side-reactions. Current approaches to solving these problems are...
Abstract: We study L q -spectra of planar self-affine measures generated by diagonal matrices. We introduce a new technique for constructing and understanding examples based on combinatorial estimates for the exponential growth...
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...
Large diameter monopiles are commonly used as offshore wind turbine (OWT) foundations to withstand lateral cyclic loads due to wind and wave action. In the present study, a two-dimensional finite element analysis was performed...
OBJECTIVES: A role for vitamin D in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases is emerging. We undertook an audit of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) investigation and treatment in rheumatology outpatients. METHODS...
In the Maternal Vitamin D Osteoporosis Study (MAVIDOS) randomized trial, vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy did not lead to greater neonatal bone mass across the trial as a whole, but, in a prespecified secondary analysis by...
