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: 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...

The multihadron decays $\Lambda_b^0\rightarrow D^+ p \pi^-\pi^-$ and
$\Lambda_b^0\rightarrow D^{*+} p \pi^-\pi^-$ are observed in data corresponding
to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$, collected in...

indicates a neutral $D$ or $D^*$ meson that is an admixture of meson...
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 objective of image compression is to extract meaningful clusters in a given image. Significant groups are possible with absolute threshold values. 1-D histogram-based multilevel thresholding is computationally complex and...
A search for the $B^0_s \!\rightarrow D^{*\pm} D^\mp$ decay is performed

$13\,\text{TeV}$ collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to...
There is a higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency in older adults. This may play a plausible mechanistic role in the occurrence of increased adverse events after non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). This study...
