Figure 4.
Changes in mass distributions upon fission/fusion balance perturbation. (a) Cluster mass distributions followed a truncated power law. Shifts in the behavior upon treatment obeyed the relation γ mfn < γ ctl < γ pqt, where γ is the exponent of the CCDF. Power laws with exponents −1.5 and −3 are shown for reference purposes only. Mass distribution of open (b) and branched (c) segments showed exponential decays. Illustrations at the right side of each panel depict network elements measured.
