Is Virtue Good for You?

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Does virtue benefit its possessor, or is it beneficial for others but not the self? We tested two highly influential theories that offer contradictory answers. In particular, we focused on three “hard cases” for the theory that virtue promotes well‐being—that is, three virtues that aren't obviously enjoyable (compassion, patience,

Visualising the Urban Imaginary: Failure and Irresolution in an Urban Digital Twin

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract The article analyses the visualisation encountered in an urban digital twin to argue that recognising the visualisation as a representation of the city is dependent upon habituation to perceptual and computational practices. Through speculative engagement with moments of visual irresolution, the article highlights the importance of ...

Modeling the Intermediate Flow Regime in Flow‐Compensated Intravoxel Incoherent Motion MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 3476-3487, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose The intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model is commonly used to separate the effects of motion related to diffusion and blood microcirculation (perfusion) on the MR signal. Depending on the encoding time (T), it is possible to probe the different temporal regimes of blood motion, which resemble a ballistic flow at short T and a ...
