AN MRI STUDY ON THE ARTICULARY PROPERTIES OF ITALIAN CONSONANTS

An MRI study on the articulary properties of Italian consonants

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data have been collected for three male speakers of Italian producing sustained consonants in VCV-context (with V=/{i, a, u}/).For one speaker the resulting database consists of a midsagittal set of 42 Italian articulations (/ /, / /, / /, / /, / /, electrosex-accessories / /, / /, / /, / /, / /, / /, / /, / / and /

Analytic modelling of passive microfluidic mixers

This paper deals with a new analytical model for microfluidic passive mixers.Two common approaches already exist for such a purpose.On the one hand, the resolution of the advection-diffusion-reaction equation (ADRE) is the first one and the closest to physics.However, ADRE is a partial differential equation that requires finite element simulations.
