Double Asymmetric Spin Echo EPI (dASE‐EPI) Enables fMRI of the Entire Rat Brain at 9.4 T
ABSTRACT Purpose Development and evaluation of a double asymmetric spin echo planar imaging (dASE‐EPI) sequence to balance sensitivity to blood oxygenation level‐dependent (BOLD) contrast with mitigation of susceptibility‐induced intravoxel spin dephasing in ultra high‐field rodent brain imaging.

ABSTRACT This study introduces a novel methodology in which a composite indicator derived using the Entropy Weight Method is decomposed into a location‐specific component and a spatial component. Although EWM is widely recognized for its robustness in constructing data‐driven composite indicators, standard applications typically overlook spatial ...

Causal Effect Estimation With TMLE: Handling Missing Data and Near Violations of Positivity
ABSTRACT We evaluate the performance of targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) for estimating the average treatment effect in missing data scenarios under varying levels of positivity violations. We employ model‐ and design‐based simulations, with the latter using undersmoothed highly adaptive lasso on the “WASH Benefits Bangladesh” data set to ...

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?
