The Question of Elitism, Medium and Audience in African Literature: Examples from Kiswahili Short Story
(Academia.edu, 2014)
Since the Makerere Conference of 1962, the question of what is ‘African Literature’ has
remained unresolved. To a large extent a great number of scholars led by Ngugi reduced the
whole question to that of language. This ...
Numerical Computation of Steady Buoyancy Driven MHD Heat and Mass Transfer Past An Inclined Infinite Flat Plate with Sinusoidal Surface Boundary Conditions
(2007)
In this paper we study the e ects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
uid
ow on a two dimensional boundary layer
ow of a steady free
convection heat and mass transfer on an inclined plate in which the
angle of inclination ...
Mathematical modelling of the Olkaria Geothermal Reservoir
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 1996-05)
The basic equations which govern the flow of fluids in a geothermal reservoir (often a two-phase mixture of steam. and water) are outlined. The governing nonlinear system of partial differential equations that arises is ...
On the steady MHD couette flow between two infinite parallel plates in an uniform transverse magnetic field
(2015)
In this paper we consider laminar viscous incompressible fluid between two
infinite parallel plates when the upper plate is moving with constant velocity Uo
and the lower plate is held stationary under the influence of ...
Progressively accurate WKB approximations through factorization and successive boost transformations
(Research gate, 2015)
This paper develops a procedure for obtaining progressively improving approximate solutions
of the WKB (semiclassical ) model of the stationary Schroedinger equation through factorization and successive boost transformations ...
A study of the Equatorial Ionosphere over Nairobi During selected magnetically disturbed and quiet times for the year 2009 Using co-located instruments
(ARC, 2014)
Investigation of the behavior of the Equatorial Ionosphere over Nairobi-Kenya within the East
Africa region is done using co-located instruments, that is, SCINDA-GPS system and a Magnetometer (
MAGDAS). This was done for ...
Quadrature fluctuation energy, effective Hamiltonians, quasi-particle modes and quantum phase transitions in the Rabi and Dicke models
(Research gate, 2017)
The main purpose of this article is to provide a simple physically motivated exact analytical procedure
for determining effective Rabi and Dicke Hamiltonians, which have so far posed serious challenges in
studies of ...
Composite Hermite and Anti-Hermite Polynomials
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The Weber-Hermite differential equation, obtained as the dimensionless form of the stationary
Schroedinger equation for a linear harmonic oscillator in quantum mechanics, has been expressed
in a generalized form through ...
HYDRODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A FIXED INCLINE SLIDER BEARING
(2016-05-23)
In the present day technological scenario, machines rotating at high speeds and carrying heavy rotor loads are used. As a result, fixed incline slider bearings are used. They are designed for high axial loads. When a bearing ...
Kenya’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic: a balance between minimising morbidity and adverse economic impact
(African Academy of Sciences, 2021)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has ravaged the world’s socioeconomic systems forcing many governments across the globe to implement unprecedented stringent mitigation measures to restrain its rapid spread and adverse ...
