Strip mode processing of spotlight aperture radar data

The author shows how to process deramped (e.g., typical spotlight mode) synthetic-aperture-radar (SAR) data using mode processors, with no restrictions on antenna pointing. The basis of the approach is that although the deramped data does not contain a spatially invariant two-dimensional response to a point target, the range-compressed deramped data does. Range compression of the deramped data is performed simply by Fourier transforming each range line. The method greatly increases the flexibility of current strip mode processors by extending their domain to a previously unsuitable class of data     

Marangoni heat pipe: An experiment on board MIOsat Italian microsatellite

This article summarizes the activities in preparation of a microgravity experiment to be carried out by using a small technological payload onboard a microsatellite developed by the Italian Space Agency. A dedicated hardware will be developed to investigate innovative heat pipes filled with self-rewetting fluids, i.e. dilute aqueous alcoholic solutions with unique surface tension properties. After a general introduction of the scientific background, the paper is focused on the main activities in preparation of the flight experiment, on the design of the flight hardware and on the experimental planned procedure. The laboratory results achieved on ground in preparation of a flight experiment are also presented, including measurements of fluids physical properties and preliminary heat pipes performances characterization test. From the engineering point of view, the activities dealing with heat pipes filling and sealing are included. The activities for heat pipe characterization conclude the paper.     

Some aspects of the low latitude geomagnetic response under different solar wind conditions*

We review some aspects of low latitudes (L≤2) geomagnetic field variations associated with magnetospheric pulsations as well as with continuous and impulsive variations of the solar wind (SW) pressure. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

An imaging telescope for soft gamma-ray astronomy: The preliminary in-flight tests

A large area (6000 cm²) actively shielded low energy gamma-ray telescope is going to be built by an Anglo-Italian collaboration. The telescope, named ZEBRA, will be capable of producing images of the X and gamma ray sky in the energy range 0.015–20 MeV with an intrinsic angular resolution of a few tenths of a degree. A prototype detector has been built in order to experimentally study the main characteristics of the detection plane. The preliminary results obtained during a balloon flight from Trapani, Sicily in July 1981 are presented.     

The position sensitive low energy detector on board the ZEBRA telescope

In order to improve the low energy capability (15 ÷ 150 KeV) of the balloon borne “ZEBRA” low energy gamma imaging telescope (150 KeV-20 MeV), a large area, high spectral resolution (5% at 60 KeV), low background detector has been designed and is now under development.It consists of two MultiWire Spectroscopic Proportional Counter (SPC), escape gated, that have a sensitive area of 6000 cm², and are placed above the large area array of sodiumiodide position sensitive elements.

PN制导律多模型自适应辨识滤波方法

针对导弹主动防御应用中拦截导弹制导行为辨识问题,提出一种比例导引（PN）制导律多模型辨识滤波方法,对拦截导弹加速度和制导律导航常数进行辨识。采用非线性可观性理论对制导模型的可观性进行了分析。得出在拦截导弹使用PN制导律时,制导模型可观的充要条件。与以往工作相比,该方法考虑了拦截导弹末制导初期由于瞄准误差校正而引起的控制器饱和现象,在拦截导弹执行器处于饱和或退出饱和阶段都能精确对制导律进行辨识。另外,以往工作假定PN制导律常数已知,该方法将PN制导律常数当做制导模型的一个状态进行估计。仿真结果校验了所提方法的性能。     

卫星大角度姿态机动控制的SOS设计

由于卫星各轴角速度之间是相互耦合的,故当姿态作大角度机动时需要考虑其非线性的动力学特性。此外,表示姿态的运动学微分方程也是非线性的。针对这类非线性系统的控制设计,文章提出了一种采用平方和(SOS)的综合方法。虽然SOS法是一种数值计算的方法,但文中表明设计结果却具有清晰的物理意义。所得的控制律可以视为是非线性版本的PD控制。由于修正Rodrigues参数(MRP)本身特性的关系,控制输入会出现峰值,因而文章提出了一种饱和设计。根据此类姿态系统的无源性本质,可以证明饱和下系统的响应是收敛的。同时,提出了一种利用对角优势的设计思路来减少SOS法的数值误差。SOS法可以求解不容易解析求解的非线性问题,具有广阔的应用前景。

国际商务中的跨文化交际意识

跨文化交际（Inter-culture Communication）是指不同文化背景的个人之间的交际,即不同文化背景的人之间所发生的相互作用。随着社会经济的发展,拥有不同文化背景的人们之间的合作越来越频繁。增强跨文化理解、克服文化冲突、加强文化传播和合作已经变得十分重要。本文分析了跨文化交际冲突的表现、产生这些冲突的原因并提出了具体对策。
