Gendering inculturation in Africa: a discussion of three African women theologians' entry into the inculturation scene
(2004)In theological circles in Africa, there has been an interest as to how cultural contexts must and will shape theology. Therefore, since the 1960's, African theologians have engaged in so-called'inculturation'. Inculturation ... -
General analytical solution for the one dimensional regular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation
(Hikari Ltd, 2017)A general analytical solution to the one dimensional regular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux (EPD) equation has been investigated. The one dimensional EPD which is a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) with initial ... -
General and specific combining ability for grain and yield components in a diallel cross among selected nine inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L)
(Maseno University, 2023)Analysis of combining ability plays an important role in identifying elite parents and crosses which can give best combinations based on the performances of their offspring. Hybrid variety production requires broad genetic ... -
A Generalization of Poiseuille’s Law for the Flow of a Self-Similar (Fractal) Fluid through a Tube Having a Fractal Rough Surface
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023-01)In this paper, a generalization of Poiseuille’s law for a self-similar fluid flow through a tube having a rough surface is proposed. The originality of this work is to consider, simultaneously, the self-similarity structure ... -
Generalized Bloch Spaces of the Upper Half-Plane and Their Composition Semigroups
(Maseno University, 2021)Banach space structure of the Bloch space of the unit disc B(D) has been studied widely by many Mathematicians. Cima, Anderson, among others have proved that the Bloch space of the unit disc, B(D) and the little Bloch space ... -
Generalized relativistic dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)Generalized relativistic field equations have been derived for dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame interpreted as a Finsler space where events are specified by both spacetime coordinates and corresponding velocities ... -
