Godzilla Onions: A Skit and Applet to Explain Euclidean Half-Plane Fractional Cascading (Media Exposition)
We provide a skit and an applet to illustrate fractional cascading in the context of half-plane range search for points in the Euclidean plane, which takes O(log N + h) output-sensitive time. In the video, a group of news anchors struggles to find the correct data structure to efficiently send out an early warning to the residents of Philadelphia w...
Impacts of climate change on crop and irrigation water requirement in the Savannah regions of Ghana
Water sources remain the key sources of irrigation in semi-arid regions. However, future climate changes threaten these sources. The study analysed water requirements of two commonly cultivated crops in the dry season in the Ghanaian Savannah regions under baseline and future periods. Crop water requirement (CWR) and crop irrigation requirement (CI...
Preliminary Studies on Detection of Fusarium Basal Rot Infection in Onions and Shallots Using Electronic Nose.
Published in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The evaluation of crop health status and early disease detection are critical for implementing a fast response to a pathogen attack, managing crop infection, and minimizing the risk of disease spreading. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae, which causes fusarium basal rot disease, is considered one of the most harmful pathogens of onion and accounts fo...

Quercetin-Rich Extracts from Onions (Allium cepa) Play Potent Cytotoxicity on Adrenocortical Carcinoma Cell Lines, and Q...
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare subtype of cancer, with a poor prognosis in children and adults. Mitotane is the only approved adrenolytic drug for the treatment of ACC, which has controversies regarding its efficacy and side effects on patients. Onion (Allium cepa), a worldwide consumed food, is associated with many health benefits. Along...

The Effect of Shear Deformation on C-N Structure under Pressure up to 80 GPa
We studythe effect of shear deformation on graphitic g-C3N4 under pressures of up to 80 GPa at room temperature. g-C3N4 samples are transformed from initial amorphous flakes into onion-like structures, in which the nitrogen content in the quenched samples decreases with increasing pressure (from 42% in the initial conditions to 1% at 80 GPa). The c...
