Deep learning for the super resolution of Mediterranean sea surface temperature fields
Authors: Fanelli Claudia , Ciani Daniele , Pisano Andrea , Buongiorno Nardelli Bruno
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the essential variables of the Earth's climate system. Being at the air–sea interface, SST modulates heat fluxes in and out of the ocean, provides insight into several upper and interior ocean dynamical processes, and is a fundamental indicator of climate variability potentially impacting the health of marine ecosystems. Its accurate estimation and regular monitoring from space is therefore crucial. However, even if satellite infrared/microwave measurements provide much better coverage than what is achievable from in situ platforms, they cannot sense the sea surface under cloudy and rainy conditions. Large gaps are present even in merged multi-sensor satellite products, and different statistical strategies, mostly based on optimal interpolation (OI) algorithms, have thus been proposed to obtain gap-free (L4) images. These techniques, however, filter out the signals below the space–time decorrelation scales considered, significantly smoothing most of the small mesoscale and submesoscale features. Here, deep learning models, originally designed for single-image super resolution (SR), are applied to enhance the effective resolution of SST products and the accuracy of SST gradients. SR schemes include a set of computer vision techniques leveraging convolutional neural networks to retrieve high-resolution data from low-resolution images. A dilated convolutional multi-scale learning network, which includes an adaptive residual strategy and implements a channel attention mechanism, is used to reconstruct features in SST data at 1/100° spatial resolution starting from 1/16° data over the Mediterranean Sea. The application of this technique shows an improvement in the high-resolution reconstruction, capturing small-scale features and providing a root-mean-squared-difference improvement of 0.02 °C with respect to the L3 ground-truth data.
apories de l'identité narrative
Authors: Romano Claude
Published: August 2024

La notion d’identité narrative place la possibilité de l’identité à soi (ou identité-idem) avec celle du changement. Mais a-t-on besoin d’une médiation « dialectique », comme la désigne Ricœur, entre identité et changement ? Seulement si l’identité est supposée exclure le changement. Or, tel n’est pas le cas de l’identité au sens le plus fondamental du terme, l’identité numérique. La seconde difficulté tient à ce que Ricœur paraît souvent rabattre l’une sur l’autre les notions d’histoire et de narration. Nous sommes des êtres historiques, cela n’est guère discutable, mais est-ce à dire que notre identité dépend de la narration que nous faisons de notre histoire ? Enfin, la troisième aporie réside dans la place primordiale accordée par Ricœur à la fiction dans sa détermination de l’identité narrative. Or il n’est pas du tout évident que les personnages de fiction jouissent d’une identité véritable en un quelconque sens. Des théoriciens contemporains de la référence, tels Saul Kripke ou David Kaplan, ont au contraire insisté sur le fait que les personnages romanesques ne possédaient qu’une apparence d’identité. Comment dès lors faire de ce semblant d’identité, qui se réduit à un faisceau de caractéristiques plus ou moins stables, le modèle pour penser nos identités réelles.
Salade de Don Quichotte
Authors: Capmartin Thierry
Published: August 2024

Le Quichotte de Cervantès occupe une place singulière dans l’histoire de la traduction littéraire en langue française, au moins parce qu’il a fait l’objet d’incessantes retraductions. Mais l’ouvrage retient l’attention parce que la traduction y est thématisée pour elle-même en deux endroits. Cervantès, en jouant avec les codes du roman de chevalerie, pose le cadre général d’une réflexion théorique sur la traduction dont on cherchera ici à souligner les principales tensions constitutives. En intériorisant ses propres origines fictives et traductives, dans un intermède à cheval entre les chapitres viii et ix, le Quichotte évoque à la fois l’idée d’une traduction impossible, mais aussi celle de la traduction comme une modalité particulière de lecture où s’origine la littérature moderne comme quasi-monde (Ricœur) propice aux échanges textuels. Il s’agira finalement de montrer que, ce faisant, Cervantès fait signe à la fois vers le structuralisme et la tradition herméneutique, et leur articulation problématique.

Tempoyak, a fermented food made from durian, is a popular seasoning in Malay communities in Malaysia and Indonesia. Produced using low-quality durian, it serves as an alternative to prevent spoilage. Tempoyak has functional benefits as it contains lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a probiotic providing digestive health benefits. Research on East Kalimantan's durian lai explores its potential for tempoyak production. The study, utilizing a Completely Randomized Design, examined salt concentrations and fermentation times. Optimal quality was achieved with a 5% salt concentration and a 7-day fermentation period, yielding favorable organoleptic results, with "liked" ratings for color and texture, and "somewhat liked" for aroma and taste. The hedonic quality included an orange-yellow color, sour aroma, salty taste, and soft texture. The total LAB reached 4.1 x 108 CFU/g, meeting probiotic criteria, with a pH of 3.85.

Published: August 2024

The increasingly rapid development of technology provides changes in several aspects. Technological advances in this era apart from providing many benefits also provide challenges. One project that can accommodate the zoomer generation in following technological developments is the use of terrarium cultivation. Terrariums fulfill the 3 R principles, namely Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. By planting a terrarium, it means saving water, saving land, and reducing air pollution (Reduce), also reusing unused containers such as used jars (Reuse), and using animal waste as compost (Recycle). The facts in the field are that students as the zoomer generation have received training and socialization on terrarium cultivation, but the level of adoption (acceptance) of students regarding socialization and training on terrarium cultivation varies, therefore a study was carried out to what extent the level of adoption of the results of training and socialization in the application of cultivation terrarium for the zoomer generation. The data collection method used was a survey method with research subjects of the zoomer generation, namely 54 active students. The data collected is categorized tabulatedly and then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. This data analysis uses measurements of observation indicators using a "rating scale". The results of the research show that the level of adoption of zoomer generation innovations in terrarium cultivation, if seen from the latest average, the adoption level is in the very high category. Differences in the level of adoption of terrarium cultivation innovations in the zoomer generation with a very high level of knowledge, a very high level of persuasion/interest, a very high level of decision, a very high level of implementation and a very high level of confirmation. If you look at the overall score, it is in the very high category.
La entrevista motivacional: un tratamiento coste-efectivo en el abordaje de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2
Authors: García Sacristán Gema
Published: August 2024

Existe amplia evidencia de la correlación entre determinados estilos de vida saludables y la disminución de la morbimortalidad por las principales enfermedades crónicas. Una de las herramientas más coste-efectiva en el abordaje de la mejora en los estilos de vida y el cumplimiento terapéutico es la entrevista motivacional (EM). La EM es un estilo de comunicación colaborativo, orientado a reforzar el compromiso del paciente con un objetivo concreto, suscitando y explorando los motivos que tiene la propia persona para cambiar, en una atmósfera de aceptación y compasión. Con este caso clínico queremos mostrar cómo, mediante una serie de herramientas comunicacionales (preguntas abiertas, afirmaciones, escucha reflexiva y resumen), podemos ir acompañando a la persona con diabetes que necesite mejorar su estilo de vida o su cumplimiento terapéutico, recorriendo cada uno de los procesos clave de una EM básica: vincular, enfocar, evocar y planificar. Veremos cómo la clave del cambio con frecuencia reside en que sea la propia persona con diabetes quien explore y exprese el cambio que necesita, es decir, que la labor del sanitario se convierte en ayudar a la persona con diabetes a sumergirse en sus propias necesidades, dificultades y deseos de cambio para mejorar su salud.

mellitus tipo 2
Authors: Isidro Donate Felipe
Published: August 2024

Personas de todas las edades y capacidades con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) pueden mejorar su calidad de vida mediante la realización de un programa de ejercicio físico bien diseñado ya que mejora los niveles de glucosa en sangre y la presión arterial, aumenta la sensibilidad a la insulina, disminuye los lípidos en sangre, ayuda a reducir la grasa corporal y a mantener la funcionalidad muscular y reduce la ansiedad, aumentando la autoestima y haciendo que nos sintamos y nos veamos mejor.
Los programas de ejercicio físico en pacientes con DM2 deben tener en cuenta el contexto personal y su escenario patológico, pero también ser atractivos para maximizar la adherencia a largo plazo tanto al ejercicio físico como a un estilo de vida activo. Se deben tener en cuenta el estado inicial del paciente, los objetivos, el tiempo disponible para la realización de ejercicio físico y los recursos materiales y de espacio.
En el programa, se concretarán sesiones de entrenamiento de fuerza y de resistencia de forma independiente o conjunta, priorizando para una mayoría de personas con DM2 sesiones de ejercicios de fuerza de piernas con el propio peso corporal, realizados con método de circuito y procurando comenzar con una frecuencia mínima de dos a tres días alternos a la semana para, posteriormente, incluir sesiones independientes de resistencia cardiorrespiratoria, preferiblemente monitorizando la intensidad mediante la frecuencia cardíaca y/o la utilización de Escalas de Percepción de Esfuerzo

Published: August 2024

Gagasan pembentukan perusahaan tidak secara khusus menyebutkan identitas Pemilik Manfaat (Beneficial Owner) dari kegiatan korporasi tersebut. Pemilik Manfaat (Beneficial Owner) merupakan isu khusus dalam rezim anti pencucian uang karena mereka sering kali tidak dilibatkan dalam sistem hukum ketika tindak pidana pencucian uang sedang diselidiki. Definisi isu dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana prosedur pelaporan Pemilik Manfaat (Beneficial Owner) mematuhi hukum dan peraturan Indonesia, serta bagaimana kesalahan pidana pemilik manfaat (Beneficial Owner) untuk pelanggaran pencucian uang terkena dampak. Studi ini bermaksud untuk memutuskan kebutuhan bagi pemilik manfaat sesuai dengan peraturan dan pedoman yang relevan dan kewajiban pidana pemilik yang membantu dalam tindak pidana pencucian uang. Konsekuensi dari tinjauan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa Peraturan Presiden Nomor 13 Tahun 2018 tentang Penerapan Prinsip Mengenali Pemilik Manfaat dari Korporasi dalam Rangka Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang dan Tindak Pidana Pendanaan Terorisme merupakan komponen yang digunakan untuk mengakui transparansi pemilik manfaat dari korporasi. Peraturan Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Nomor 15 Tahun 2019 tentang Tata Cara Pelaksanaan Penerapan Prinsip Mengenali Pemilik Manfaat dari Korporasi merupakan pedoman pelaksanaan untuk Peraturan Presiden Nomor 13 Tahun 2018. Selanjutnya, pemilik manfaat yang melakukan tindak pidana pencucian uang dapat dikenakan Pasal 6 Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 2010 tentang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang yang dihubungkan dengan Pasal 3, Pasal 4, atau Pasal 5.

Penelitian ini mengevaluasi dampak Gerakan Boikot, Divestasi, dan Sanksi (BDS) serta ukuran perusahaan terhadap biaya audit pada perusahaan yang berafiliasi dengan Israel yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) selama periode 2020-2023. Peningkatan konflik Israel-Palestina yang terjadi dari Oktober 2023 hingga Januari 2024 menyebabkan kerugian besar dan banyak korban. Gerakan BDS, yang mengkampanyekan boikot dan sanksi terhadap Israel, menunjukkan kemajuan signifikan dan mempengaruhi berbagai sektor ekonomi, termasuk perusahaan yang berafiliasi dengan Israel. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa ukuran perusahaan memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap biaya audit, sedangkan Gerakan BDS secara individual tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan. Namun, keberadaan Gerakan BDS bersama dengan ukuran perusahaan dalam model regresi memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap variasi biaya audit. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya faktor internal perusahaan dalam menentukan biaya audit, serta menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh Gerakan BDS mungkin tidak signifikan dalam konteks biaya audit perusahaan yang berafiliasi dengan Israel pada periode tersebut. Manajemen perusahaan perlu mempertimbangkan ukuran perusahaan sebagai penentu biaya audit dan memperhatikan dampak potensial dari faktor eksternal seperti Gerakan BDS dalam pengambilan keputusan strategis.

The Myth of the Pyramid
Authors: Izquierdo-Cordova Ramon , Mayol-Cuevas Walterio
Published: August 2024

A deep-rooted strategy for building convolutional neural networks in computer vision is to increase the number of filters every time the feature map resolution is decreased. The notion ruling this pyramidal design is that the expressivity of the network increases with a higher number of filters to compensate for losses caused for lower resolutions. This paper challenges the practice by testing a set of variate distribution of filters, named filter templates, on popular CNN architectures (VGG, ResNet, MobileNet and Mnas- Net). The experimental results show that the superiority of the pyramidal design holds on the ImageNet dataset but fails for other datasets such as MNIST, CIFAR and Tiny-ImageNet, and for other tasks such as audio classification. CNN models with different filter distributions deliver higher accuracy with reduced resource consumption suggesting the pyramidal design has been optimised to Imagenet and that each model-dataset pair benefits from tuning the number and distribution of filters. To further illustrate the benefits of exploring other distributions, this paper shows that the best-performing model from the NASBench101 dataset can increase its accuracy over the original pyramidal design with reductions of parameters up to 68 percent by using templates. Overall, our experiments point to new opportunities for model designers to find more efficient models.
Beyond Appearances: Material Segmentation with Embedded Spectral Information from RGB-D imagery
Authors: Perez Fabian , Rueda-Chacon Hoover
Published: August 2024

In the realm of computer vision, material segmentation of natural scenes represents a challenge, driven by the complex and diverse appearances of materials. Traditional approaches often rely on RGB images, which can be deceptive given the variability in appearances due to different lighting conditions. Other methods, that employ polarization or spectral imagery, offer a more reliable material differentiation but their cost and accessibility restrict their everyday usage. In this work, we propose a deep learning framework that bridges the gap between high-fidelity material segmentation and the practical constraints of data acquisition. Our approach leverages a training strategy that employs a paired RGBD-spectral data to incorporate spectral information directly within the neural network. This encoding process is facilitated by a Spectral Feature Mapper (SFM) layer, a novel module that embeds unique spectral characteristics into the network, thus enabling the network to infer materials from standard RGB-D images. Once trained, the model allows to conduct material segmentation on widely available devices without the need for direct spectral data input. In addition, we generate the 3D point cloud from the RGB-D image pair, to provide a richer spatial context for scene understanding. Through simulations using available datasets, and real experiments conducted with an iPad Pro, our method demonstrates superior performance in material segmentation compared to other methods.

Authors: Gogula Shravya , Bornhöft Hansjörg , Wondraczek Lothar , Sierka Marek , Diegeler Andreas , Müller Ralf , Deubener Joachim
Published: August 2024

A novel optical real-time method for evaluating the castability of glass forming melts for laboratory furnaces is presented. The method is based on the analysis of top view images of the melt surface inside the crucible during melting after being subjected to a small mechanical impulse. In this way, the melt surface is excited to oscillate. The difference in contrast between two images taken in quick succession scales with the viscosity, with a larger diffe­rence occurring at lower viscosities. The method is designed as an instrument for the in-line evaluation of the castability for a high-throughput glass melting system as part of the joint project “GlasDigital” in the framework of the German Platform Material Digital initiative but is applicable to other laboratory furnaces as well.
Solar Driven Syngas Production Potential in Portugal
Authors: Horta Pedro , Canavarro Diogo , Camilo-Alves Constança , Brito Paulo , Panizio Roberta
Published: August 2024

The production of synthesis gas, or syngas, from the thermochemical conversion of different carbon-based feedstocks, including biomass, is an important alternative for the conversion of waste from sources such as agroforestry or urban waste into renewable gases or fuels. The use of solar radiation as an energy source for these thermochemical processes can reduce or even eliminate their environmental impacts and increase the energy content of the resulting syngas. Portugal, with its high levels of solar radiation, has significant potential for solarized syngas production through biomass gasification. This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of solar-driven syngas production in Portugal using different feedstocks and solar radiation levels and compares these costs to conventional gasification costs. The results show that solarized syngas production in Portugal is economically viable and has the potential to contribute to a more sustainable and low-carbon energy system.

The performance of solar tower systems is closely linked to the aiming point strategy of the heliostats. The optimization process of obtaining the best aiming point strategy for a field is complex and has a high computational cost. The use of the clustering technique relieves the requirements by decreasing the space of possible solutions to the problem. Results show that the application of the technique for aiming point strategy optimization reduces the time of optimization significantly.

Published: August 2024

In the present study, an on-demand solar combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system with parabolic trough collector (PTC) and solid-state thermal energy storage (TES) is investigated, which will be demonstrated on-site in 2024 at the Administration Building of the Lavrio Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP) in Attica, Greece, covering the energy needs of the building in form of heating and electricity in winter and cooling during summer. The system is based on a combined Organic Rankine Cycle and an Ejector Cooling Cycle (ORC-ECC), which is modeled and simulated in a steady-state manner while the PTC and TES systems are modeled dynamically, i.e., they are influenced by the thermal inertia of the components, the variable weather conditions of the location, and the defined operating strategies. The ORC-ECC simulation results show an efficiency of up to 14.20 % for the ORC system and a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 0.10 for the ECC system under defined conditions. The dynamic simulations for the specified operating strategies indicate that on typical sunny days up to 100 % of the consumers' electricity consumption can be covered by the system.

Published: August 2024

Molten salts are the most widely used thermal energy storage system in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants, accounting for 50% of the installed capacity. Many studies have conducted life cycle assessments of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions produced within the CSP ecosystem; however, it has not yet been standardized for molten salt storage. This study compares GHG emissions of molten salt storage in CSP with conventional coal and natural gas power plants, to measure the environmental impact they can have in the CSP ecosystem. This was achieved with the use of simulations for 48 operational CSP plants worldwide using the system advisor model with their respective operation conditions. Results show that for the three configurations studied, CSP plants would result in annual 3,99 MMtCO2eq of emissions displaced when compared to a coal power plant and 1,61 MMtCO2eq compared to a natural gas power plant.
Variation in Reflected Beam Shape and Pointing Accuracy Over Time and Heliostat Field Position
Authors: Brost Randy , Evans Anthony , Good Kevin , Garcia Maldonado Luis , Larkin Tristan
Published: August 2024

Heliostats are typically constructed with fixed mirror shapes, which they move to varying angles to reflect sunlight onto a receiver.  While heliostat facet curvatures and canting angles are selected to maximize a chosen performance criterion, these fixed shapes inevitably cannot maintain focus throughout widely varying solar incidence angles.  Further, heliostat pointing accuracy generally exhibits error due to manufacturing and installation imperfections.  In this paper we present a systematic study of how reflected beam shape and pointing accuracy vary with heliostat position, time of day, and time of year.  We selected nine heliostats spanning the Sandia National Laboratories National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF) heliostat field, and measured their beam shape and required pointing corrections throughout the day, for six key dates spanning a solar year.  We also present ray tracing analysis to aid understanding of the observed effects.  The resulting data provide insight into the nature and magnitude of heliostat focus loss at various times, and clarify the nature of the problem faced when attempting to maximize heliostat field performance, especially for high-temperature industrial applications. We conclude that fixed heliostat fields canted with an off-axis strategy will lose significant performance away from the solar noon hour to which they are tuned, and that aim point corrections can vary widely, both between independent heliostats and over time for a given heiostat.  This implies that multiple measurements of each heliostat are required to determine calibration pointing corrections.
Development of Readily Available & Robust High Heat Flux Gardon Gauges
Authors: McLaughlin Luke , Laubscher Hendrik F. , Nguyen Josh , Banh Lam , Konings Jörgen
Published: August 2024

Concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies deliver concentrated solar energy as a heat source to industrial processes, power generation cycles, and chemical cycles. CSP systems require accurate and reliable high flux measurements, and next generation CSP systems will require flux measurement up to 1000 W/cm2. Existing flux measurement devices do not comprehensively meet the flux rating, cycle life, cost, and lead-time needs of stakeholders, necessitating the development of an improved flux sensor. In this study, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) partnered with Hukseflux Thermal Sensors to develop a low-cost, short lead-time, and robust flux sensor rated to 250 W/cm2. Three prototype circular foil gauge designs were assessed for performance at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF) at SNL. Each gauge design measured flux up to 250 W/cm2 with <5% measurement error. Following baseline error quantification, gauges were exposed to flux above 500 W/cm2 to assess gauge failure mechanisms. Gauges physically survived >500 W/cm2 flux exposure, but measurement error was found to increase after foil coatings reached 400 °C. The results of this study suggest that coating optical properties change at excessive temperatures and that foil coating temperature, rather than heat flux level, dictates the acceptable gauge measurement range.

Published: August 2024

This paper describes the dynamic process model for a solar fuels synthesis plant currently being built in Germany. The open-source, equation-based modelling language Modelica is used as the foundation. In this plant, biogas and steam are reformed, producing synthesis gas and subsequently turned into synthetic crude oil. This work contains the necessary model setups for the thermal energy storage, solar-absorbing gas receiver and reforming reactor to consider the thermohydraulic, thermochemical and radiative interactions occurring in the process. The remaining infrastructure is modeled with the Modelica Standard Library. A way to fit these models with experimental data for validation is also outlined.

A comparative study of On-Sun and Off-Sun designs for supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of biomass on concentrated solar power (CSP) plants was here presented. In the On-Sun design, the tubular reactor was placed on a cavity receiver of a solar power tower (SPT) plant and the heat employed to produce the gasification came directly from the sun (viz. the solar radiation was concentrated, thanks to the heliostat field, onto the tube's surface). In the Off-Sun designs, the gasification of the biomass was carried out inside a heat exchanger and it was produced thanks to the heat absorbed from the hottest fluid, which can be obtained from CSP plants or electrical heating. This work numerically investigated the thermomechanical performance of both designs. The results stood out the relation between temperature-gas yield-thermal stress. In On-Sun configurations the gas yield was 5 times higher than those obtained in the Off-Sun configuration. However, the highest values of both temperature and stress may produce the failure of the reactor. This fact could be avoided in an Off-Sun reactor, since its uniform heating conditions mitigate the maximum temperature and stresses.

Writing textbooks, reference books, and monographs is indeed one of the lecturers' efforts to improve their competence, especially in the academic field. This is caused by various factors, such as lack of available time, lack of experience and knowledge in writing, and lack of motivation and passion to complete writing projects. The service activities that you mentioned have a very important purpose to improve lecturers' understanding and skills in writing textbooks, reference books and monographs. The methods used, namely lectures, discussions, practicals, and direct assistance in the training room, are effective ways to achieve this goal. With the method of realization and implementation of community service activities carried out in 3 stages, namely the preparation stage, the training stage for writing books, and the monitoring and evaluation stage.
This service activity was attended by 100 participants, consisting of lecturers from tertiary institutions, especially in Banten and participants who have successfully completed their book drafts. Although the participants were very enthusiastic about participating in this activity, only a few participants managed to complete their book drafts. However, the results obtained from this community service activity remained positive, namely the participants were able to publish a book with an ISBN. This shows that this service activity provides good benefits in increasing participants' understanding and skills in writing textbooks, reference books, and monographs. The participants wanted further training and intensive assistance to produce a book that was ready to be published

Kediri is the largest honey pineapple-producing area in East Java, so it has pineapple farmer groups. The honey pineapple farmer group called "Queens" is one of the pineapple farmer groups in Kediri that creates processed pineapple products such as fresh pineapple fruit, peeled pineapple, and pineapple drink. However, the group is facing an issue of pineapple skin waste that has yet to be utilized. Therefore, expanding pineapple products by using fruit and pineapple skin waste is crucial. One way to do this is by making eco-enzymes. The method used in this activity is a group-based activity method, carried out jointly between the activity team and the pineapple queens farmer group, starting from the planning, implementation, and mentoring to the monitoring and evaluation stages. Community service activities for the "Queens" pineapple farmer group have succeeded in making eco-enzymes from pineapple skin waste. Based on the results of the activity, this activity was able to increase the knowledge of the "Queens" pineapple farmer group, where 100% of the partners already knew the benefits of eco-enzymes and knew the tools and materials, and procedures used in making eco-enzymes from pineapple peels.
