Chapter 11. Specifying OpenGL Environment Variable Settings . ... Several antialiasing methods are available and you can select between them by setting the __GL_FSAA_MODE environment variable appropriately. ... To see the available values for __GL_FSAA_MODE along with their descriptions, run: nvidia-settings --query=fsaa --verbose . The __GL_FSAA_MODE environment variable uses the same integer values that are used to configure FSAA through nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL X extension. ...

Next: Initial conditions Up: Old neutron star distribution Previous: Introduction . The problem to be solved is to find stationary space distribution of stars which have had certain initial space and velocity distributions and move in a given potential. ... In principle, the most straightforward way to obtain the solution is to integrate directly the equations of motion for a sufficiently large number of stars with different initial conditions. ... Then space density is given by . ...

... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...
