Stabbing of George Harrison
The stabbing of George Harrison: on 30 December 1999 Michael Abram, a schizophrenic man from Liverpool, broke into Friar Park and stabbed the former Beatle, puncturing a lung; he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2000 and detained, then released in 2002.
Stabbing Westward
Stabbing Westward is an American industrial rock band founded in 1985 in Macomb, Illinois, known for the gold albums Wither Blister Burn & Peel and Darkest Days.
Stabian Baths
Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane), Pompeii insula VII 1,8: earliest known Roman-type public bath building, built after 130/120 BC, with separate men's and women's sections, hypocaust heating, well then Serino aqueduct supply, in use until AD 79.
Stabilisation Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Stabilisation Force (SFOR), NATO-led peace enforcement force in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 20 December 1996 to 2 December 2004, under UNSCR 1088; succeeded IFOR, about 31,000 troops shrinking to 7,000, handed over to EUFOR Operation Althea.
Stability (probability)
Stability in probability theory, also called stable convergence, is a strengthening of convergence in distribution, introduced by Alfred Rényi in 1963, in which the limit holds jointly with every event.
Stability AI
Stability AI is a London-founded artificial intelligence company, established in 2019 by Emad Mostaque and best known for releasing the Stable Diffusion image-generation model in 2022.
Stability AI leadership crisis of 2024
The Stability AI leadership crisis of 2024 was the financial strain and investor pressure that ended with founder Emad Mostaque resigning as CEO in March 2024.
Stability AI rescue and restructuring
The Stability AI rescue and restructuring was a June 2024 bailout led by Sean Parker that installed Prem Akkaraju as CEO and forgave about $100 million of debt.
Stability and Growth Pact
The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) is the European Union's fiscal surveillance framework, assessing deficits against 3% of GDP and debt against 60%, with sanctions for breaches.
Stability lobe diagram
A stability lobe diagram is a machining chart whose lobed curves separate chatter-free cutting from unstable chatter by spindle speed and depth of cut, guiding machinists to speeds that maximize material removal.
Stability of planetary ring systems
The stability of planetary ring systems depends on confinement by satellite resonances and shepherding moons, since dense rings otherwise spread and vanish within a few hundred million years.
Stability of the Lagrange points
The stability of the Lagrange points: triangular points L4 and L5 are stable below Routh's mass-ratio threshold, while collinear L1, L2, and L3 are always unstable.
Stability of the Solar System
The stability of the Solar System is the question of whether planetary orbits remain stable over long times. The motion is chaotic, yet catastrophic rearrangement is improbable.
Stability selection
Stability selection is a statistical variable selection method, introduced by Meinshausen and Bühlmann in 2010, that runs the lasso on many random subsamples and keeps variables selected consistently.
Stability study statistics
Stability study statistics is the branch of pharmaceutical statistics that designs drug stability protocols and estimates shelf life, chiefly by regressing a quality attribute against time under ICH Q1E guidance.
Stability theory
Stability theory is the branch of model theory, founded on Saharon Shelah's classification program, that sorts first-order theories into dividing lines such as stable, simple, and NIP.
STABILITY trial (NCT00799903)
STABILITY (NCT00799903), Stabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaque by Initiation of Darapladib Therapy: phase 3 GlaxoSmithKline trial of darapladib 160 mg daily in 15,828 stable coronary heart disease patients; Lp-PLA2 lowered ~65% but primary endpoint (cardiovascular death, MI, stroke) not reduced (HR 0.94).
Stability-indicating method
A stability-indicating method, also called a stability-indicating assay, is a validated analytical procedure, typically HPLC with UV detection, that quantifies a drug's active ingredient without interference from degradation products, impurities, or excipients.
Stabilizer (aeronautics)
A stabilizer in aeronautics is a fixed tail surface of a fixed-wing aircraft: the horizontal stabilizer gives pitch stability, and the vertical fin gives yaw stability.
Stabilizer formalism
The stabilizer formalism, introduced by Daniel Gottesman in 1997, describes quantum states by the Pauli operators that fix them, enabling efficient classical simulation of Clifford circuits.
Stabilizer subgroup
The stabilizer subgroup, also called the isotropy group or little group, consists of the elements of a group action that leave a given point fixed.
Stabilometry
Stabilometry is a clinical assessment method that quantifies postural sway in standing subjects with a force platform, used in evaluating vestibular deficit and fall risk.
Stable
Стайня (Polish stajnia, stable): a building for housing horses and hoofed animals, from private equestrian stables like Stajnia Mortęgi to zoo stables in Warsaw, Żywiec, and Lubin.
Stable angina
Stable angina (angina pectoris) is predictable chest pain from heart-muscle oxygen shortage, usually coronary artery disease, triggered by exertion or stress, relieved by rest or nitroglycerin, and treated with beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and prevention drugs.
