We study the fractality of void probability distribution measured inS32-Ag/Br interaction at an incident energy of 200 GeV per nucleon. A radically different and rigorous method calledVisibility Graphanalysis is used. This method is shown to reveal a strong scaling character of void probability distribution in all pseudorapidity regions. The scaling exponent, called the Power of the Scale-Freeness in Visibility Graph (PSVG), a quantitative parameter related to Hurst exponent, is strongly found to be dependent on the rapidity window size.

There are numerous existing works on investigating the dynamics of particle production process in ultrarelativistic nuclear collision. In the past, fluctuation of spatial pattern has been analyzed in terms of the scaling behavior of voids. But analysis of the scaling behavior of the void in fractal scenario has not been explored yet. In this work, we have analyzed the fractality of void probability distribution with a completely different and rigorous method called visibility graph analysis, analyzing the void-data produced out of fluctuation of pions in [Formula: see text]S–AgBr interaction at 200 GeV in pseudo-rapidity [Formula: see text] and azimuthal angle [Formula: see text] space. The power of scale-freeness of visibility graph denoted by PSVG is a measure of fractality, which can be used as a quantitative parameter for the assessment of the state of chaotic system. As the behavior of particle production process depends on the target excitation, we can dwell down the void probability distribution in the event-wise fluctuation resulted out of the high energy interaction for different degree of target excitation, with respect to the fractal scenario and analyze the scaling behavior of the voids. From the analysis of the PSVG parameter, we have observed that scaling behavior of void probability distribution in multipion production changes with increasing target excitation. Since visibility graph method is a classic method of complex network analysis, has been applied over fractional Brownian motion (fBm) and fractional Gaussian noises (fGn) to measure the fractality and long-range dependence of a time series successfully, we can quantitatively confirm that fractal behavior of the void probability distribution in particle production process depends on the target excitation.

Based on the model of nuclear-collision geometry, the independent N–N collision picture and participant contribution picture are used to describe the transverse-energy distribution in p–A collisions at high energy. In the independent N–N collision picture, the energy loss of leading proton in each p–N collision is considered. The calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data of p–Al, p–Cu, and p–U collisions at 200 GeV/c. PACS Nos.: 13.85-t, 13.85Hd, 25.75-q

This work focuses on the study of quantum stochastic walks, which are a generalization of coherent, \ie unitary quantum walks. Our main goal is to present a measure of a coherence of the walk. To this end, we utilize the asymptotic scaling exponent of the second moment of the walk \ie of the mean squared distance covered by a walk. As the quantum stochastic walk model encompasses both classical random walks and quantum walks, we are interested how the continuous change from one regime to the other influences the asymptotic scaling exponent. Moreover this model allows for behavior which is not found in any of the previously mentioned model -- a model with global dissipation. We derive the probability distribution for the walker, and determine the asymptotic scaling exponent analytically, showing that ballistic regime of the walk is maintained even at large dissipation strength.

In the following, we present a highly efficient algorithm to iterate the master equation for random walks on effectively infinite Sierpinski carpets, i.e. without surface effects. The resulting probability distribution can, for instance, be used to get an estimate for the random walk dimension, which is determined by the scaling exponent of the mean square displacement versus time. The advantage of this algorithm is a dynamic data structure for storing the fractal. It covers only a little bit more than the points of the fractal with positive probability and is enlarged when needed. Thus the size of the considered part of the Sierpinski carpet need not be fixed at the beginning of the algorithm. It is restricted only by the amount of available computer RAM. Furthermore, all the information which is needed in every step to update the probability distribution is stored in tables. The lookup of this information is much faster compared to a repeated calculation. Hence, every time step is speeded up and the total computation time for a given number of time steps is decreased.

Multiplicity fluctuation provides enough information concerning the dynamics of particle production process and even signature of phase transition from hadronic to QGP phase expected in ultrarelativistic nuclear collision. Numerous analyses reported on the fluctuation pattern of pions have been studied from theoretical and phenomenological approaches. Also the fractal properties have been explored to characterize quantitative degree of fluctuation. The present work reports a study of pion fluctuation from a radically different perspective, using science of complexity. For this we have taken two different interactions — one hadron–nucleus and other nucleus–nucleus, namely [Formula: see text]-AgBr (350 GeV) and [Formula: see text]S-AgBr (200 A[Formula: see text]GeV). We have analyzed both data in the light of complex network analysis, viz. visibility graph method. The data reveal that power of the scale-freeness in visibility graph (PSVG), a quantitative parameter related to Hurst exponent, may provide information on the degree of fluctuation. Further, in a recent work, it was shown that phase transition can also be studied using the same methodology. Based on the result of the present study we further propose to use this methodology, where critical phenomena are to be assessed — even in case of pion fluctuation, for obtaining the QGP like phase transition.

After many years of clinical practice, research and the teaching of projective tests, Shentoub and her colleagues (Debray, Brelet, Chabert & al.) put forward an original and rigorous method of analysis and interpretation of the TAT protocols in terms of psychoanalysis and clinical psychopathology. They developed the TAT process theory in order to understand how the subject builds a narrative. Our article will emphasize the source of the analytical approach developed by V. Shentoub in the 1950s to current research; the necessity of marking the boundary between the manifest and latent content in the cards; the procedure for analyzing the narrative, supported by an analysis sheet for understanding the stories' structure and identifying the defense mechanisms; and how developing hypotheses about how the mental functions are organized, as well as their potential psychopathological characteristics; and the formulation of a diagnosis in psychodynamic terms. In conjunction with the analysis and interpretation of the Rorschach test, this approach allows us to develop an overview of the subject's mental functioning, taking into account both the psychopathological elements that may threaten the subject and the potential for a therapeutic process. We will illustrate this by comparing neurotic, borderline, and psychotic personalities.
