Static program analysis
Static program analysis is the automatic analysis of program code without execution, proving properties true for all possible executions; its techniques include data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, and symbolic execution.
Static random-access memory
Static random-access memory (SRAM) is a fast, volatile semiconductor memory that holds each bit in a latching circuit and needs no refresh, used mainly as cache.
Static routing
Static routing is a method of configuring IP routers in which an administrator manually defines the next hop for a destination instead of using a dynamic routing protocol.
Static Shock
Static Shock is the 2000-2004 Kids' WB animated series about Virgil Hawkins, a Black teen who gains electromagnetic powers, adapted from Milestone Media's Static by Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Derek Dingle, and Michael Davis; 52 episodes, four seasons, noted for social commentary.
Static single assignment form
Static single assignment form (SSA) is a compiler intermediate representation in which every variable is assigned exactly once, with phi functions handling control flow merges.
Static site generation
Static site generation (SSG) is a web development technique where a site's HTML is built in advance, then served from a CDN to every visitor.
Static spherically symmetric perfect fluid
A static spherically symmetric perfect fluid is an exact-solution class in general relativity: matter at rest with spherical symmetry, modeling non-rotating stellar interiors and governed by the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equation.
Static stability
Static stability, also called hydrostatic or vertical stability, is the tendency of a fluid at rest, such as the atmosphere, to resist or favor vertical displacement through buoyancy.
Static stretching
Static stretching is a flexibility exercise in which a muscle is held in a lengthened position without movement; it improves range of motion but can briefly reduce strength.
Static synchronous compensator
A static synchronous compensator, also written static synchronous condenser, is a shunt FACTS device that supplies or absorbs reactive power on an AC grid to regulate voltage.
Static synchronous series compensator
The static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is a converter-based FACTS device that injects a controllable voltage in quadrature with line current, controlling power flow like a series capacitor or reactor.
Static timing analysis
Static timing analysis (STA) validates the timing of a digital integrated circuit by checking all constrained signal paths for violations without simulating input vectors, making it faster and more thorough than dynamic simulation.
Static transfer switch
A static transfer switch is a solid-state device that switches critical loads between two AC power sources within milliseconds, used mainly in data centers and hospitals.
Static typing
Static typing is the property of a programming language whose type checker runs before execution, catching type errors in Java, C, and Haskell before the program runs.
Static VAR compensator
A static VAR compensator (SVC) is a shunt-connected power-electronic device regulating voltage on AC networks through thyristor-controlled reactive compensation, a standard FACTS controller first applied commercially in 1964.
Static variable
A static variable is a variable whose storage is allocated for a program's entire execution, so its value persists between uses, as in C-family languages' static keyword.
Static web page
A static web page is a set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files served to every visitor exactly as stored, with no server-side code varying the content.
Static-X
Static-X is an American industrial metal band formed in 1994 by Wayne Static and Ken Jay, known as "evil disco". Breakthrough debut Wisconsin Death Trip (1999) went platinum; after Wayne Static's 2014 death the original lineup reunited in 2018 with vocalist Xer0.
Statically determinate structure
A statically determinate structure is a structure whose support reactions and internal forces can be calculated from the equations of static equilibrium alone, without information about material stiffness or deformation.
STATICBREAST study
STATICBREAST (NCT04515888) is a completed French observational study by Institut du Cancer de Montpellier assessing the prevalence of pelvic static (pelvic floor) disorders and quality of life in women with localized breast cancer on adjuvant hormone therapy, using PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 questionnaires.
Statics
Statics is the branch of mechanics that studies bodies in equilibrium, meaning at rest or at constant velocity, and finds the forces keeping structures and machines at rest.
Statin
Statin: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor lowering LDL cholesterol; first statin mevastatin from Penicillium citrinum (Endo, 1970s), lovastatin FDA-approved 1987; first-line therapy for ASCVD prevention per 2026 ACC/AHA dyslipidemia guideline.
Statio Bilachiniensis
Statio Bilachiniensis, also Bilachinensis, was a Roman customs station at Camporosso in the Val Canale near Tarvisio, on the Aquileia–Virunum road at the entry to Noricum, part of the Publicum Portorium Illyrici, attested by a 1910 inscription and a mithraeum.
Statio Caesariana
Statio Caesariana, a Roman road station in Lucania, southern Italy, listed in the Antonine Itinerary (ItAnt 110.3) and tentatively placed near Buonabitacolo; modern scholarship argues the itinerary misplaced it on the inland road.
Station (Australian agriculture)
A station is a large Australian agricultural holding on which cattle or sheep are grazed commercially, usually on Crown land under pastoral lease, the Australian equivalent of a ranch.
Station 19
Station 19 (2018-2024) is an ABC action-drama, the second Grey's Anatomy spin-off after Private Practice, created by Stacy McKee about Seattle firefighters at Station 19, led by Andy Herrera, running seven seasons.
Station 19 season 7
Station 19 season 7 (2024) is the final, 10-episode season of ABC's Grey's Anatomy firefighter spinoff, airing March 14 to May 30, 2024 under new showrunners Peter Paige and Zoanne Clack, ending with the wildfire finale "One Last Time."
Station blackout
A station blackout (SBO) is the complete loss of AC electrical power at a nuclear power plant, caused when both offsite grid power and emergency diesel generators fail.
Station code
A station code is a short, usually alphabetic identifier for a railway or transit station in ticketing, reservation, or operating systems, independent of the station's name.
Station drama
A station drama (German: Stationendrama, also Stationenstück) is a drama made up of relatively independent scenes, or stations, linked by a central protagonist rather than a causal plot.
