TL;DR: It is proposed that agents within a system each hold their own situation awareness, which may be very different from (although compatible with) that of other agents, and that the authors should not always hope for, or indeed want, sharing of this awareness.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to propose foundations for a theory of situation awareness based on the analysis of interactions between agents (i.e. both human and non-human) in subsystems. This approach may help to promote a better understanding of technology-mediated interaction in systems, as well as helping in the formulation of hypotheses and predictions concerning distributed situation awareness. It is proposed that agents within a system each hold their own situation awareness, which may be very different from (although compatible with) that of other agents. It is argued that we should not always hope for, or indeed want, sharing of this awareness, as different system agents have different purposes. This view marks situation awareness as a dynamic and collaborative process binding agents together on tasks on a moment-by-moment basis. Implications of this viewpoint for the development of a new theory of, and accompanying methodology for, distributed situation awareness are offered.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and modelling study of pyrolysis of n-dodecane, a component of some jet fuels, is presented, where experiments have been performed in a stainless steel isothermal plug flow reactor at temperatures of 950, 1000 and 1050 K and atmospheric pressure, with GC analysis of the end products, mainly methane, ethane and alkenes.

TL;DR: In order to overcome the problem of interpreting two-dimensional ISAR images, a method for three-dimensional reconstruction of moving targets is presented and the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm is proven theoretically and then tested against several radar-target scenarios as well as in the presence of noise.
Abstract: Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images are frequently used in target classification and recognition applications. Nevertheless, the interpretation of ISAR images remains problematic for several reasons. One of these is the fact that the image plane cannot be defined by the user but instead depends on the target's own motions and on its relative position with respect to the radar. In order to overcome the problem of interpreting two-dimensional (2D) ISAR images, a method for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of moving targets is presented. This method is based on the use of a dual interferometric ISAR system. The interferometric phases measured from two orthogonal baselines are used to jointly estimate the target's effective rotation vector and the heights of the scattering centers with respect to the image plane. The scattering center extraction from the ISAR image is performed by applying a multichannel CLEAN technique. Finally, a 3D image of the moving target is reconstructed from the 3D spatial coordinates of the scattering centers. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm is first proven theoretically and then tested against several radar-target scenarios as well as in the presence of noise.
