Several traffic measurement reports have convincingly shown the presence of self-similarity at the packet level in current networks, inducing as a result a revolution in the stochastic modeling of traffic. The essence of this behavior can be adequately captured by several classes of self-similar stochastic processes. But the use of these in performance analysis has opened new problems and research issues, also in simulation studies where the efficient generation of synthetic sample paths with self- ...

Several recent traffic measurement studies have convincingly shown the presence of self-similarity in modern high-speed networks, involving a very important revolution in the stochastic modeling of traffic. Thus the use of self-similar processes has opened new problems and research fields in network performance analysis, mainly in simulation studies, where the efficient synthetic generation of sample paths (traces) corresponding to self-similar traffic is one of the main topics.

Acetobacterium woodii was able to produce high concentrations of acetic acid, i.e., > 20 g/L, from CO2, in the presence of H2 as an energy source, which was favoured by maintaining a near-optimal pH of 7.8 in an automated bioreactor. This allows the mitigation of CO2 emissions for their conversion to acetic acid, which was then further used to produce lipids (single cell oils) by Rhodosporidium toruloides in the next assay. The yeast, grown on acetic acid, efficiently accumulated lipids in A. woodii' ...
