In this paper, we propose a method in order to compensate contortion of page image which is caused by photographing a book opened and placed face-up (two pages opposite each other state) on the stage just above. For compensating contortion 3-D shape information of page surface is necessary to apply some geometrical adjustment. To obtain much higher resolution image a page needs to be photograph...

This study compares velar movements for nasal vowels and consonants; it investigates contextual nasalisation; and it provides new data on how nasalisation is affected by speech rate. Velar position is measured with an electromagnetic articulatograph (EMA) for two French speakers. Our results confirm that (i) nasal vowels are produced with a lower velum height than nasal consonants; (ii) the con...

Three recent papers [5, 11, 8] have considered in complementary ways the combinatorial consequences of assuming that three squares overlap in a string. In this paper we provide a unifying framework for these results: we show that in 12 of 14 subcases that arise the postulated occurrence of three neighbouring squares forces a breakdown into highly periodic behaviour, thus essentially trivial and...
