Our situation is good or bad as outward things bear favorably or unfavorably upon us; our condition is good or bad according to the state we are actually in as respects our persons, families, property, and other things which comprise our sources of enjoyment.

It is generally brought into action by any disturbance of molecular equilibrium, whether from a chemical, physical, or mechanical, cause. Note: Electricity is manifested under following different forms: (a) {Statical electricity}, called also {Frictional [or] Common}, {electricity}, electricity in the condition of a stationary charge, in which the disturbance is produced by friction, as of glass, amber, etc., or by induction. (b) {Dynamical electricity}, called also {Voltaic electricity}, electricity in motion, or as a current produced by chemical decomposition, as by means of a voltaic battery, or by mechanical action, as by dynamo-electric machines. (c) {Thermoelectricity}, in which the disturbing cause is heat (attended possibly with some chemical action). It is developed by uniting two pieces of unlike metals in a bar, and then heating the bar unequally. (d) {Atmospheric electricity}, any condition of electrical disturbance in the atmosphere or clouds, due to some or all of the above mentioned causes. (e) {Magnetic electricity}, electricity developed by the action of magnets. (f) {Positive electricity}, the electricity that appears at the positive pole or anode of a battery, or that is produced by friction of glass; -- called also {vitreous electricity}. (g) {Negative electricity}, the electricity that appears at the negative pole or cathode, or is produced by the friction of resinous substance; -- called also resinous electricity.

The term mechanics includes the action of forces on all bodies, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous. It is sometimes, however, and formerly was often, used distinctively of solid bodies only: The mechanics of liquid bodies is called also {hydrostatics}, or {hydrodynamics}, according as the laws of rest or of motion are considered. The mechanics of gaseous bodies is called also {pneumatics}. The mechanics of fluids in motion, with special reference to the methods of obtaining from them useful results, constitutes {hydraulics}. {Animal mechanics} (Physiol.), that portion of physiology which has for its object the investigation of the laws of equilibrium and motion in the animal body. The most important mechanical principle is that of the lever, the bones forming the arms of the levers, the contractile muscles the power, the joints the fulcra or points of support, while the weight of the body or of the individual limbs constitutes the weight or resistance. {Applied mechanics}, the principles of abstract mechanics applied to human art; also, the practical application of the laws of matter and motion to the construction of machines and structures of all kinds. | |

static analysis analysis where the program is not actually executed (as opposed to dynamic analysis), but is analyzed by tools to produce useful information. Static analysis techniques range from the most mundane (statistics on the density of comments, for instance) to the more complex, {semantics}-based techniques. Qualities sought in static analysis techniques are {soundness} and {completeness}. (2003-04-12) | |

static database management system "information-based relationships", one that is rigorously structured to facilitate retrieval and update in terms of inherent relationships. This creates a static environment wherein the locations of the related records are already known. Typical static DBMS are either hierarchical ({IMS}, {System 2000}) or a {CODACYL} (network or plex) DBMS (such as {TOTAL}, {IDMS}, {IDS}, {DMS-2}). These environments facilitate rapid, high volume processing of data. The opposite is a {dynamic database management system}. (1998-10-07) | |

static link from an {activation record} to the activation record for the textually enclosing {scope}. A static link is only required in a statically (lexically) scoped language. The number of static links to follow may be determined statically (at compile time). It is simply the difference in {lexical nesting depth} between the declaration and the reference. See also {display}. (1995-03-07) | |

static nested scope {compile-time} to be the smallest {block} ({begin}/end, {function}, or {procedure} body) containing the identifier's {declaration}. This means that an identifier declared in some block is only accessible within that block and from procedures declared within it. This term is used in the {Python} community. Compare {lexical scope}.

static RAM {static random access memory} | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
static random access memory storage is a bistable {flip-flop}, commonly consisting of cross-coupled inverters. It is called "static" because it will retain a value as long as power is supplied, unlike {dynamic random access memory} (DRAM) which must be regularly refreshed. It is however, still {volatile}, i.e. it will lose its contents when the power is switched off, in contrast to {ROM}. SRAM is usually faster than DRAM but since each bit requires several transistors (about six) you can get less bits of SRAM in the same area. It usually costs more per bit than DRAM and so is used for the most speed-critical parts of a computer (e.g. {cache} memory) or other circuit. (1995-04-22) | |

statistical time division multiplexing overcome some inefficiencies of standard {time division multiplexing}, where {time slices} are still allocated to channels, even if they have no information to transmit. STDM uses a variable time slot length and by allowing channels to vie for any free slot space. It employs a buffer memory which temporarily stores the data during periods of peak traffic. This scheme allows STDM to waste no high-speed line time with inactive channels. STDM requires each transmission to carry identification information (i.e. a channel identifier). To reduce the cost of this overhead, a number of characters for each channel are grouped together for transmission.

statistics application of mathematical {functions} to collections of {data} in order to summarise or {extrapolate} that data. The subject of statistics can be divided into descriptive statistics - describing data, and analytical statistics - drawing conclusions from data. (1997-07-16) |
