See under {Ecclesiastical}.          Syn: {State}, {Situation}, {Condition}.          Usage: State is the generic term, and denotes in general the                   mode in which a thing stands or exists. The situation                   of a thing is its state in reference to external                   objects and influences; its condition is its internal                   state, or what it is in itself considered. 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.                               I do not, brother, Infer as if I thought my                            sister's state Secure without all doubt or                            controversy.                                 --Milton.                               We hoped to enjoy with ease what, in our                            situation, might be called the luxuries of life.                                                                               --Cock.                               And, O, what man's condition can be worse Than                            his whom plenty starves and blessings curse?                                                                               --Cowley.

static analysis          A family of techniques of program       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          (static DBMS) A {database} consisting of       "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          (Or "access link" or "environment link") A pointer       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)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
static nested scope          Where the {scope} of an {identifier} is fixed at       {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}.          (2002-02-18)

static RAM          {static random access memory}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
static random access memory          (SRAM) {Random access memory} in which each bit of       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          (STDM, StatMUX) A system developed to       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.          ["Data Communications, Computer Networks and Open Systems",       Halsall & Fred, Addison Wesley, p160-161, 1995].          ["Digital, Analog, and Data Communication", Sinnema &       McGovern, Prentice Hall, p245, 1986].          (1997-03-05)

statistics          The practice, study or result of the       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)
