Strongly Intensive Measures for Multiplicity Fluctuations
  The recently proposed two families of strongly intensive measures of fluctuations and correlations are studied within Hadron-String-Dynamics (HSD) transport approach to nucleus-nucleus collisions. We consider the measures $\Delta^{K\pi}$ and $\Sigma^{K\pi}$ for kaon and pion multiplicities in Au+Au collisions in a wide range of collision energies and centralities. These strongly intensive measures appear to cancel the participant number fluctuations. This allows to enlarge the centrality window in the analysis of event-by-event fluctuations up to at least of 10% most central collisions. We also present a comparison of the HSD results with the data of NA49 and STAR collaborations. The HSD describes $\Sigma^{K\pi}$ reasonably well. However, the HSD results depend monotonously on collision energy and do not reproduce the bump-deep structure of $\Delta^{K\pi}$ observed from the NA49 data in the region of the center of mass energy of nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 8\div 12$ GeV. This fact deserves further studies. The origin of this `structure' is not connected with simple geometrical or limited acceptance effects, as these effects are taken into account in the HSD simulations.
