The optical properties of the stratospheric aerosol layer perturbation of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption of 15 January 2022 by P. Sellitto, P. Sellitto, R. Belhadji, B. Legras, A. Podglajen, C. Duchamp

“…With simplified radiative forcing estimations, we show that the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai eruption produced an aerosol layer likely 1.5–10 times more effective in producing a net cooling of the climate system with respect to the Pinatubo and El Chichón eruptions due to more effective SW scattering. …”

A Comparative Analysis of Manual and Computer Constant Comparison Methods: Using Data from a Constructivist Inquiry of Experiences Working with Ethnic Agencies by Suzie Weng

“… A dilemma one may face in analyzing qualitative data is whether to use a manual approach with index cards or a computer data management tool like ATLAS.ti.  This paper compares the two approaches in organizing and analyzing data using the same data set.  The data were collected and first analyzed in a constructivist inquiry course according to the methods laid out by Rodwell (1998).  This process involved unitizing data onto index cards and these cards were then sorted into categories during the constant comparison process.  Later, the same data were linked to ATLAS.ti where they were unitized and categorized simultaneously.  Constant comparison took place when all the data were coded.  A comparison of the two methods allowed the author to determine the strengths and limitations for the various stages of constant comparison. …”

Exploring the role of splicing in TP53 variant pathogenicity through predictions and minigene assays by Cristina Fortuno, Inés Llinares-Burguet, Daffodil M. Canson, Miguel de la Hoya, Elena Bueno-Martínez, Lara Sanoguera-Miralles, Sonsoles Caldes, Paul A. James, Eladio A. Velasco-Sampedro, Amanda B. Spurdle

“…Application of the observed splicing results was used to reclassify 27/59 (46%) test variants as (likely) pathogenic or (likely) benign. Conclusions In conclusion, this study enhances the integration of splicing predictions and provides splicing assay data for exonic variants to support TP53 germline classification. …”
