    abstract = "The hadronic fragmentation functions of the various quark flavours and
of gluons are measured in a study of the inclusive hadron production
from Z(0) decays with the DELPHI detector and are compared with the
fragmentation functions measured elsewhere at energies between 14 GeV
and 91 GeV. A large scaling violation is observed, which is used to
extract the strong coupling constant from a fit using a numerical
integration of the second order DGLAP evolution equations. The result is
alpha(s)(M-Z) = 0.124(-0.007)(+0.006) (exp) +/- 0.009(theory)
where the first error represents the experimental uncertainty and the
second error is due to the factorization and renormalization scale
dependence. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V."
