We introduce a network statistic that measures structural properties at the micro-, meso-, and macroscopic scales, while still being easy to compute and interpretable at a glance. Our statistic, the onion spectrum, is based on the onion decomposition, which refines the k-core decomposition, a standard network fingerprinting method. The onion spectrum is exactly as easy to compute as the k-cores...

Onion Routing is an infrastructure for private communication over a public network. It provides anonymous connections that are strongly resistant to both eavesdropping and traac analysis. Thus it hides not only the data being sent, but who is talking to whom. Onion Routing's anonymous connections are bidirec-tional and near real-time, and can be used anywhere a socket connection can be used. Pr...

Male-sterile (S) cytoplasm of onion is an alien cytoplasm introgressed into onion in antiquity and is widely used for hybrid seed production. Owing to the biennial generation time of onion, classical crossing takes at least 4 years to classify cytoplasms as S or normal (N) male-fertile. Molecular markers in the organellar DNAs that distinguish N and S cytoplasms are useful to reduce the time re...

Epidemiological data suggest that onion (Allium cepa L.) consumption promotes cardiovascular health (Kendler, 1987). Among the salutary effects of Allium vegetables on the cardiovascular system is the inhibition of platelet activity (Ariga et al., 1981; Goldman et al., 1995; Kiesewetter et al., 1991; Makheja et al., 1980), thus reducing clotting time and promoting blood circulation. To my knowl...

This paper presents compact message formats for onion routing circuit construction using the Sphinx methodology developed for mixes. We significantly compress the circuit construction messages for three onion routing protocols that have emerged as enhancements to the Tor anonymizing network; namely, Tor with predistributed DiffieHellman values, pairing-based onion routing, and certificateless o...

Onion intake might reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, according to epidemiology. However, Femia showed in 2003 that diets with 20% onion increase carcinogenesis in rats. We speculated this dose was too high. Prevention of initiation was thus tested in sixty rats given a 5% dried onion diet or AIN76 diet, and initiated 12d later with azoxymethane (AOM, 1x20mg/kg i.p.), 2-amino-3-methylimidazo...

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of onion (Allium cepa L.) against hyperglycaemia and dyslipidemia and determine possible changes in these effects due to different heat treatments applied to onion. Materials and Methods: 32 male Wistar-albino rats were divided into 4 groups as follows: the groups C and DC were fed with standard rat diet;...

The protective effects of onion was assessed in the Kidney of rats following sub-acute exposure to cyanide. These effects were compared to those of sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3), a classical antidote of cyanide toxicity. The rats were divided into 6 groups of 6 animals each. Group 1 was administered distilled water, Group 2,3,4, 5, and 6 were administered 600 mg onion/kg bwt/day, 7 mg KCN/kg bw...
