“…Direct physical interpretation of fluctuation measurements is typically difficult. However, the bin-size or scale dependence of fluctuations is determined by the correlation structure of the underlying distribution [9,10]. We have determined that fluctuation scale dependence can be inverted by a numerical procedure to obtain autocorrelation projections which can be interpreted directly.…”

Fluctuations in nuclear collisions can be measured as a function of momentum-space binning scale over a scale interval bounded by detector two-track resolution and acceptance. Fluctuation scale dependence is related to two-particle correlations by a Fredholm integral equation. That equation can be inverted by standard numerical methods to yield an autocorrelation distribution on difference variables as a projection of the full two-particle distribution which retains most of the correlation information in a more compact form. Autocorrelation distributions are typically more easily interpreted in terms of physical mechanisms than fluctuation measurements.

“…Local spectrum properties may deviate from the event-averaged p t spectrum differently at each point on (η, φ) and differently in each event [13]. The bin-size (scale) dependence of excess event-wise p t fluctuations measured by variance difference σ 2 p t :n (δη, δφ) reflects the correlation structure of the local p t spectrum properties [14]. Certain aspects of the correlation structure can be accessed when that scale dependence is inverted to obtain p t autocorrelations [12]: those aspects which depend on relative separation of pairs of points but not on absolute position on (η, φ).…”

We present first measurements of the pseudorapidity and azimuth (η, ϕ) bin-size dependence of event-wise mean transverse-momentum ⟨pt⟩ fluctuations for Au–Au collisions at GeV. We invert that dependence to obtain pt autocorrelations on differences (ηΔ, ϕΔ) interpreted to represent velocity/temperature distributions on (η, ϕ). The general form of the autocorrelations suggests that the basic correlation mechanism is parton fragmentation. The autocorrelations vary rapidly with collision centrality, which suggests that fragmentation is strongly modified by a dissipative medium in the more central Au–Au collisions relative to peripheral or p–p collisions.

“…the world of business. The strength of military culture is explained by the existence of one complex characteristic -"the sense of duty", described in four perspectives (Tinoco and Arnaud, 2013): y a set of values like integrity, subordination, unbending obedience, fervent loyalty, duty, selflessness and strict discipline (Trainor, 2000), y a "set of normative self-understandings", deeply held by personnel members, directing their formulation of professional identity, code of conduct, and social worth (Snider 1999), y an integral and the innermost component of the military culture, containing cultural attributes as honor and commitment to duty, unconditional service and allegiance to the nation, achievement of the greater good to the sacrifice of self, and unqualified authority to those in command (Breslin, 2000;Riccio et al, 2004), and y a set of attitudes and behaviors for personnel members, defining what is considered right, good, and important (Breslin, 2000). Furthermore, Tinoco and Arnaud (2013) outline key nuances of military culture by means of applying the seven dimensions of organizational culture profile (OCP), developed by O'Reilly, y Obligatory unit cohesion and teamwork in the most difficult circumstances (team orientation dimension) y The use of specific machines and equipment requires serious employees' orientation to detail and precision (attention to detail dimension).…”

Purpose – This article aims to outline and analyze the role, structure and dominating content of professed organizational culture among the companies in the defense industry in Bulgaria as conscious and the official expression of their leadership intentions within the contemporary business environment, uniquely justifying the existence of each entity. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative study is conducted, based on a literature review of academic publications in the sphere of professed organizational culture. Furthermore, the websites of the target companies were carefully examined in order to outline the practical approach to presenting the unique official culture of defense business organizations. Findings – An elaborate set of cultural attributes to be found on the second level in Edgar Schein’s model of organizational culture is identified. Based on literature review, the intersection between official corporate culture expressions and defense sector is outlined. Important nuances in the development of Bulgarian defense, technological and industrial base are described, encompassing the transition period to market economy and democratic political system. A survey of professed culture attributes is conducted among the members of Bulgarian defense, technological and industrial base. It is concluded that these companies prefer disclosing their official cultures in a very succinct way to utilizing the potential power and impact of the most popular firm documents in this field as mission and vision or relying on small number of their simpler building elements. Recommendations to senior managers of the Bulgarian defense companies regarding smart and intensive use of official culture elements are given. Research limitations/implications – The financial data for the surveyed companies is not accessible. Originality/value – A snapshot of preferred professed culture attributes among the members of Bulgarian defense, technological and industrial base is composed, implying their leadership strategic intentions. The second level in Edgar Schein’s model of organizational culture is populated with a set of cultural attributes.
