We describe degenerations and smoothings of linear series on some reducible algebraic curves. Applications include a proof that the moduli space of curves of genus g has general type for all g > 24, a proof that the monodromy action is transitive on the set of linear series of dimension r and degree d on a general curve of genus g when p := g — (r + l)(g — d+r) = 0, a proof that there exist Wei...

This paper introduces a new Hungarian database containing spoken material recorded from children. The aspects, which were taken into consideration under the selection of the speakers (and the composition of the speech database corpus), and the final content of the corpus is discussed. We described the method of the recording and the post-processing work on the recorded material. The paper also ...

The language acquisition consists of several parts which can not be learned independently: grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary and others. Whereas the first has to be learned interactively, lead by tutor or teacher to be efficient (e.g. by taking part in language training courses offered by language schools), vocabularies and their pronunciation can be partly learned autonomously. Language train...

Lecithaster helodes n. sp. is described from Mugil curema and M. cephalus. It differs from the closely related L. mugilis Yamaguti, 1970 by having four rather than three ovarian lobes and other minor differences. Discussions and measurements are presented for L. confusus Odhner, 1905, L. leiostomi Overstreet, 1970, Hysterolecitha elongata Manter, 1931, Aponurus pyriformis (Linton, 1910) n. comb...
