AIMS To evaluate the influence of environmental parameters (water activity aw, temperature, and pH) on the radial growth rate of Trichoderma asperellum (strains PR10, PR11, PR12, and 659-7), an antagonist of Phytophthora megakarya, the causal agent of cocoa black pod disease. METHODS AND RESULTS The radial growth of four strains of T. asperellum was monitored for 30 days on modified PDA mediu...

from the moduli space Rg of (non-trivial) étale double coverings of curves of genus g to the moduli space Ag−1 of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g − 1, called the Prym map. It was shown independently by Friedman-Smith [10], Kanev [13], Welters [20] and Debarre [6], that prg is generically injective for g ≥ 7. On the other hand, Mumford showed in [16, p. 346], that the Prym...

In this document we describe the scheme used for labelling the open-source Ukwabelana Zulu corpus as well as the rules employed for the Part-of-speech (POS) tagger used to assign POS to morphologically analysed words. A detailed description of the Zulu morphology, the corpus itself and its generation is given in [2]. All resources can be downloaded from http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Research/Machine...
