%X We summarize the progress of the research performed in project B4 of the SFB 676 and highlight the most important results obtained. Starting from the observation that mixing and instability of elementary particles concur in nature, one central goal was to construct a general renormalization scheme that rigorously incorporates both aspects and to explore its phenomenological consequences in the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particle physics and its most favorable extensions. Another central goal was to significantly improve the analysis of the electroweak vacuum stability and the theoretical concepts necessary for the extraction of the top-quark mass from experimental data.
