Mapping the Parameter Space of the Cornell Potential: Constraints on Strong Coupling and Confinement in QCD Models
Introduction
We analyse the parameter space of the Cornell potential, deriving constraints on the strong coupling αs and constant term c that ensure consistent perturbative treatment and convergence in QCD-inspired models of heavy–light mesons.
Resolving Meson Hyperfine Structure with a Smeared Cornell Potential Across Heavy–Light and Heavy–Heavy Systems
We revisit meson hyperfine splitting using a QCD-inspired Cornell potential with Gaussian smearing and analytic wavefunctions, achieving consistent predictions across D, B, and quarkonium systems while resolving short-distance divergences.
New insights into androgen deprivation therapy
In this review, we discussed the latest discoveries for current androgen deprivation therapy to drive prostate cancer progression and double-negative prostate cancer development, a new type of castration resistant prostate cancers, exploring new therapeutic strategies for advanced disease.
When participation becomes design: lessons on social resilience from the Indian Sundarbans Delta
Our study shows that co-design in the Indian Sundarbans is not just about inviting communities to meetings. It is about changing who speaks, what counts as knowledge, and how to design climate adaptation decisions.
When air pollution changed the rains of the Sahel
Anthropogenic aerosol emissions in Europe and North America caused the catastrophic Sahel climate changes
Behind the Paper: When the Matrix Speaks Up During Radiotherapy
Tenascin-C orchestrates radiotherapy-induced head and neck tumor regression
Lessons learned from adaptation opportunity windows in Europe
In our recent publication we identify examples of adaptation opportunity windows in Europe, and explore how these may be better leveraged using adaptive pathways planning. In this short article we reflect on how we reached our results, and some of our lessons learned.
