  Multiplicity correlations between the current and target regions of the Breit
frame in deep-inelastic scattering processes are studied. It is shown that the
correlations are sensitive to the first-order perturbative QCD effects and can
be used to extract the behavior of the boson-gluon fusion rates as a function
of the Bjorken variable. The behavior of the correlations is derived
analytically and analyzed using a Monte Carlo simulation.
