We investigate the intermittency of magnetic turbulence as measured in reversed field pinch plasmas. We show that the probability distribution functions of magnetic field differences are not scale invariant; that is, the wings of these functions are more important at the smallest scales, a classical signature of intermittency. We show that scaling laws appear also in a region very close to the ...

Human reaching and tracking movements exhibit a multipeaked speed profile which is commonly interpreted as evidence for submovements. As the movement gets slower, the individual peaks stand out more distinctly, accompanied by an increase in the number of the peaks. This phenomenon corresponds to non-smoothness or intermittency in the movement. In this study, we evaluate two potential sources pr...

The chaotic phenomenon of intermittency is modeled by a simple map of the unit interval, the Farey map. The long term dynamical behaviour of a point under iteration of the map is translated into a spin system via symbolic dynamics. Methods from dynamical systems theory and statistical mechanics may then be used to analyse the map, respectively the zeta function and the transfer operator. Interm...

Assuming a second-order phase transition for the hadronization process, we attempt to associate intermittency patterns in high-energy hadronic collisions to fractal structures in configuration space and corresponding intermittency indices to the isothermal critical exponent at the transition temperature. In this approach, the most general multidimensional intermittency pattern, associated to a ...

Intermittency, an important property of astrophysical plasma turbulence, is studied extensively during last decades from in-situ measurements the solar wind and magnetic field in ecliptic plane at higher latitudes, heliocentric distances between 0.3 5 Astronomical Units. In this paper, we review main findings on intermittency derived investigation turbulence for inertial range scales. It turns ...

We use the natural invariant density of map and Perron–Frobenius operator to analytically evaluate statistical properties for chaotic intermittency. This study can be understood as an improvement previous ones because it does not introduce assumptions about reinjection probability function in laminar interval or at pre-reinjection points. To validate new theoretical equations, we a symmetric no...

Using standard signal processing tools, we experimentally report that intermittency of wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid occurs even when two typical large-scale coherent structures (gravity wave breakings and bursts of capillary waves on steep gravity waves) are not taken into account. We also show that intermittency depends on the power injected into the waves. The dependence of the p...
