Optical Coherence Tomography by Pier Alberto Testoni

“…The physical principle of OCT is similar to that of B-mode ultrasound imaging, except that it uses infrared light waves rather than acoustic waves. The in vivo resolution is 10–25 times better (about 10 µm) than with high-frequency ultrasound imaging, but the depth of penetration is limited to 1–3 mm, depending on tissue structure, depth of focus of the probe used, and pressure applied to the tissue surface. …”

Awareness of glottal settings for the production of /h/-initial and vowel-initial words in French learners of L2 English by Christelle Exare

“…They were finally asked to utter the last phrase (‘poor animal’) with the glottal settings of their choice — either continuous voicing or glottalisation — and then say whether they had realised one or the other. The 16 students’ acoustic data were coded and compared. The results show that after training the participants significantly improved their performances in the production of licit onsets: they produced fewer intrusive aspirations, fewer illicit elisions of /h/ and more licit productions at word boundaries. …”
