Stau
Stau may refer to one of the following: *In particle physics, stau is a slepton which is the hypothetical superpartner of a tau lepton *An obsolete letter Stigma in the Greek alphabet *In German, stau is a word meaning 'traffic jam' *One common abbreviation of St. Augustine High School (other) *In the fictional Vulcan language, ''stau'' is the verb 'to kill' *An alternate name for the Horpa language Horpa (also known in some publications as Stau – Chinese: 道孚语 ''Daofu'', 爾龔語 ''Ergong'') are a cluster of closely related Gyalrongic languages of China. Horpa is better understood as a cluster of closely related yet unintelligible ...

Sfermion
In supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model (SM) of physics, a sfermion is a hypothetical spin-0 superpartner particle (sparticle) of its associated fermion. Each particle has a superpartner with spin that differs by . Fermions in the SM have spin- and, therefore, sfermions have spin 0. The name 'sfermion' was formed by the general rule of prefixing an 's' to the name of its superpartner, denoting that it is a scalar particle with spin 0. For instance, the electron's superpartner is the selectron and the top quark's superpartner is the stop squark. One corollary from supersymmetry is that sparticles have the same gauge numbers as their SM partners. This means that sparticle–particle pairs have the same color charge, weak isospin charge, and hypercharge (and consequently electric charge). Unbroken supersymmetry also implies that sparticle–particle pairs have the same mass. This is evidently not the case, since these sparticles would have already been detect ...

Stigma (letter)
Stigma (ϛ) is a Greek ligatures, ligature of the Greek alphabet, Greek letters sigma (letter), sigma (Σ) and tau (letter), tau (Τ), which was used in writing Greek between the Middle Ages and the 19th century. It is also used as a Greek numerals, numeral symbol for the number 6. In this unrelated function, it is a continuation of the old letter digamma (originally Ϝ, cursive form ), which had served as a numeral since antiquity and was conflated with the σ-τ Typographic ligature, ligature in the Greek minuscule, minuscule handwriting of the Middle Ages. History and use The στ ligature (, ) was one of many ligature forms that came into widespread use as part of the Greek minuscule, minuscule writing style of Greek from the 9th and 10th centuries onwards. It is based on the sigma (letter)#Lunate sigma, lunate form (Ϲ) of the letter sigma. With many other ligatures, it was used to print Greek during the early-modern era. Between the 18th and 19th centuries, the use of ...

Traffic Jam
Traffic congestion is a condition in transport that is characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular queueing. Traffic congestion on urban road networks has increased substantially since the 1950s, resulting in many of the roads becoming obsolete. When traffic demand is great enough that the interaction between vehicles slows the traffic stream, this results in congestion. While congestion is a possibility for any mode of transportation, this article will focus on automobile congestion on public roads. Mathematically, traffic is modeled as a flow through a fixed point on the route, analogously to fluid dynamics. As demand approaches the capacity of a road (or of the intersections along the road), extreme traffic congestion sets in. When vehicles are fully stopped for periods of time, this is known as a traffic jam or (informally) a traffic snarl-up or a tailback. Drivers can become frustrated and engage in road rage. Drivers and driver-focused r ...

Vulcan (Star Trek)
Vulcans, sometimes referred to as Vulcanians, are a fictional extraterrestrial humanoid species in the ''Star Trek'' media franchise. They are noted for their strict adherence to logic and reason and suppression of emotion. Known for their pronounced eyebrows and pointed ears, they originate from the fictional planet Vulcan. In the ''Star Trek'' universe, they were the first extraterrestrial species to make contact with humans. The most notable Vulcan character is Spock, first played by actor Leonard Nimoy in '' Star Trek: The Original Series'' (1966–1969). Some aspects of this fictional alien race that have entered popular culture are their pointy ears, the Vulcan salute, the Vulcan nerve pinch, and their adherence to logical thinking and disdain for emotion. A 2019 journal article, ''Science Fiction and the Abolition of Man'' argued that many science fiction characters such as Vulcans of ''Star Trek'' are based on the ideas of '' The Abolition of Man'' by C. S. ...
