THE PREFERENCE OF FOREIGN-BASED (MIGRANT) PLAYERS OVER HOME-BASED PLAYERS IN THE SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA: A COLORATION OF ‘COLONIAL MENTALITY’ by JOSEPH OKECHUKWU NWOKE

“…However,when it was time for the final list to be drawn there might not be any home-based players in the list or there might be an insignificant number that might end up not playing in such competition.There has been a lot of talk on the preference of foreign-based players over home-based players in the Super Eagles team.Hence, this study analyses the rate of selection in terms of percentage of home-based and foreign-based players in the Super Eagles team by some selected foreign and Nigerian coaches.The Hamitic hypothesis of Seligman is applied to show the nexus to the preference for foreign-based players.This study makes use of   primary and tertiary sources of data.Findings reveal that not only foreign coaches solely relied on foreign-based players, as some Nigerian coaches were equally masterminds of the unpatriotic act. …”

Spatial distribution of fine-grained floodplain deposits and anthropogenic materials based on official borehole data in the floodplain of Leipzig, GermanyPANGAEA by Nele Graubner, Johannes Schmidt

“…The data set was filtered, with the condition that each borehole log has at least one clayey layer and a gravel layer of at least 0.7 m thickness and, later, interpolated to present a complete spatial model for the research area. The final data set is based on 3,414 data points (data collection covers the period: 1852 to 2018) within the Leipzig floodplain and offers significant resource for future interdisciplinary research into the natural and anthropogenic history of the Leipzig's floodplains, offering valuable information for more detailed analyses and more precise modelling of fine-grained floodplain deposit distribution in the Leipzig floodplain area.…”

Adaptive Radar Waveform Design Based on Weighted MI and the Difference of Two Mutual Information Metrics by Fengming Xin, Bin Wang, Shumin Li, Xin Song, Chi-Hsu Wang

“…Since DMI-based waveform does not allocate energy to the frequency band where the clutter power spectral density (PSD) is greater than the target PSD, we propose to weight the MI-based waveform and DMI-based waveform to synthesize the final optimal waveform. It could provide different trade-offs between two types of MI. …”
