DigiFish Clownfish presents a lively and immersive view of the inhabitants of the blue coral reef � clownfish and sea anemones interacting realistically with each other via ecological simulation software.

DigiFish Clownfish will bring to your desktop astonishingly lifelike virtual sea anemones and clownfish. These coral reef inhabitants are set against the most realistic virtual tropical fish aquarium in the world to bring a perfect image to your computer screen.

The beautiful and vivid clownfish swims through anemone tentacles under a bright, clear ocean that ripples with sunlight coming down from above. The clownfish's behavior and actions look so real in the DigiFish-Clownfish's virtual aquarium.

The tentacles of the sea anemones move naturally with the flow of the sea. Tropical coral reef fish swim languidly to and fro, sometimes darting through the anemone tentacles, which move aside as the fish pass.

Play some easy-listening music, make yourself comfortable, relax and enjoy the spectacular DigiFish Clownfish ocean aquarium, and you will be immersed totally in a dream of the sea.

The beautiful, highly-colored and humming clownfish is always present in tropical waters. Apart from the vivid natural swimming posture, you can also observe the clownfis's breeding behaviors near sea anemones; it sometimes stays still, eats, or even swims backwards.

The iChronos organizer software is a visual organizer with extended capabilities of organizing your time, contacts, project control and storing of any data.

This pim software gives you more than you expect to get from an organizer. The program is created according to suggestions of people, which used various organizers for a long time.
Using the iChronos personal organizer you will be able to do what you dreamed about.

Interface
- Graphic interface, which takes advantage of your 3D accelerator
- Ability to change color themes and add a custom icon library
- Scaled fields for each contact, project, folder
- Quick access to main organizer functionality
- Almost all functions can be accessed from the system tray

Time control
- Unique tool for visualizing time control - time line (ability to view planned events in different time scale)
- Management of projects, appointments, calls using the time line
- Reminder software capability: set reminders according to various criteria (once a week, a year etc.)
- Reminders are shown in the system area even if the program is minimized

As integrated circuit (IC) feature sizes scaled below a quarter of a micron, thereby defining the deep submicron (DSM) era, there began a gradual shift in the impact on performance due to the metal interconnections among the active circuit components. Once viewed as merely parasitics in terms of their relevance to the overall circuit behavior, the interconnect can now have a dominant impact on the IC area and performance. Beginning in the late 1980's there was significant research toward better modeling and characterization of the resistance, capacitance and ultimately the inductance of on-chip interconnect.
IC Interconnect Analysis covers the state-of-the-art methods for modeling and analyzing IC interconnect based on the past fifteen years of research. This is done at a level suitable for most practitioners who work in the semiconductor and electronic design automation fields, but also includes significant depth for the research professionals who will ultimately extend this work into other areas and applications.
IC Interconnect Analysis begins with an in-depth coverage of delay metrics, including the ubiquitous Elmore delay and its many variations. This is followed by an outline of moment matching methods, calculating moments efficiently, and Krylov subspace methods for model order reduction. The final two chapters describe how to interface these reduced-order models to circuit simulators and gate-level timing analyzers respectively.
IC Interconnect Analysis is written for CAD tool developers, IC designers and graduate students.

Swedish-born Henderson brings to American tables a refined and light version of traditional Swedish dishes. She makes an intense dish such as Jansson's Temptation less leaden by substituting smoked salmon for the usual anchovies, but she retains the cream that creates the dish's special character. Instead of pork shank, Henderson uses chicken and bacon to season her version of yellow pea soup, Sweden's national dish. Her Swedish pancakes lend themselves to both sweet and savory treatments, topping one with berries, the other with wild mushrooms. Her extensive treatment of yeast rolls shows the importance of pastry in Swedish cookery. No less compelling than her food is the story of Henderson's life. Daughter of a Swedish mother and a touring African American jazz musician, Henderson grew up cooking first for her family and then at a French bistro in her hometown of Lulea in Sweden's subarctic north. After a stint modeling in New York and Europe, she landed in Los Angeles, where she married and became a caterer to the Hollywood elite.

LightWave® v9 is the perfect combination of power, speed and value. Long considered one of the easiest 3D animation systems to learn and use, LightWave 3D® is versatile enough for any application from award-winning visual effects to stunning hi-res print graphics, dynamic video games, powerful motion graphics and more. LightWave offers modeling, animation, dynamics, volumetric rendering, particle effects and a motion picture quality rendering engine with unlimited render nodes making LightWave the centerpiece of the most cost effective 3D production pipelines in the world.

LightWave 3D is a complete solution right out of the box that includes three different operating systems to meet your particular production requirements: Windows® 32-bit, Windows 64-bit and Macintosh®. LightWave for each operating system comes with unlimited render nodes. LightWave also supports the latest generation of dual-core and multi-core processor systems at no additional cost.

LightWave v9 introduces new interface paradigms, such as a Node Editor for materials and surfaces, volumetric lights, and displacements. Exciting new physically correct cameras have been added, allowing artists to recreate any real world camera lens, and have footage rendered in LightWave match real world photography (a must for compositing CGI and real footage together). These cameras can also be extended into the hyper-real, or even bizarre, as any mesh object can itself be made into a camera and record a scene. The possibilities are limitless.

New techniques for displacement mapping, and support for ZBrush® displacements have been added. New shading models, such as Blinn, Oren- Nayar, and Ambient Occlusion now allow for a tremendous versatility for artists no longer bound by the original shading model in previous versions of LightWave. Of particular note are the new shaders for sub-surface scattering, anisotropic specular and refl ection shaders (which allow for hromatic aberration), easy to use and offering a spectacular visual impact.
