Sateen weave

== Description ==
A weaving pattern similar to satin. Sateen weave is made by passing filling yarns under (rather than over) 1 warp yarn then over 4-12 warp yarns. The long filling threads, called floats, produce a smooth shiny surface, but are susceptible to snags.

Satin

== Description ==
A smooth, shiny fabric made with silk, acetate, or rayon fibers in a satin weave. Satin fabric was originally made in China from silk. Heavy satin is called duchesse. Satin fabrics are used for linings, book covers, and dresses. Satin weave is one of three fundamental fabric weaving patterns along with plain, and twill.

Saturated salt solutions

== Description ==
In a closed environment, saturated salt solutions can maintain an equilibrium with the moisture in the air. At low humidity, fully hydrated (liquid) salts can volatilize water. The solid salts can absorb moisture when the humidity is high. Saturated salt solutions are a low maintenance method to provide a constant humidity level within a display case (Eggert 2022). Unlike silica gel, which requires reconditioning, the saturated salt solutions only need supplemental distilled water added once a year.

Saturation

== Description ==
1) A color at maximum intensity or purity. A saturated color has not been mixed with white or black. Also called intensity.
2) The state of a solution when it has the maximum amount of solute dissolved under given conditions. For example, a saturated salt solution has undissolved salt present in the solution to ensure that the maximum available salt ions are dissolved. 
3) The condition in which two physical states coexist in equilibrium. For example, air saturated with water vapor exists in an equilibrium with liquid water.
4) A hydrocarbon compound that does not have any double bonds. Hexane is a saturated hydrocarbon.
5) Any material filled to capacity or charge thoroughly.

Sawwort (Serratula coronata) LC

thumb|Yellow Botanic Gardens
== Description ==
Serratula coronata is a perennial growing to 1.5 m (5ft). It prefers moist soil and cannot grow in the shade. It is native to the Eastern Asia and Russia.
== Historical importance ==
== Summary of results ==
Multiple flavonids, including quercetin, luteolin, and their derivatives, were found on the wool samples from Uzbekistan.
== Analytical instrumentation and procedures ==
HPLC-DAD-MS analysis was performed with an Agilent 1100 liquid chromatography system consisting of an automatic injector, a gradient pump, a HP series 1100 DAD, and an Agilent series 1100 VL on-line atmospheric pressure ionization electrospray ionization mass spectrometer. Separations were done on a Vydac 214TP52 analytical column (2.1 mm diameterX250 mm; 5-ím particle size). The column was eluted at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min with a tertiary gradient of water (A),acetonitrile (B), and 1% (v/v) aqueous formic acid (C) with the following elution program: 0 min, 90% A, 5% B, 5% C; 0-55 min, a linear gradient to 35% A, 60% B, 5% C; 55-60 min, a linear gradient elution to 15% A, 80% B, 5% C; 60-62 min, isocratic elution at 15% A, 80% B, 5% C; 62-70 min gradient elution to 90% A, 5% B, 5% C; and reequilibration with the latter solvent for 15 min. The mass spectrometer was run both in the negative and positive ion mode.

Scagliola

== Description ==
An imitation marble or granite made from pigmented plaster. Scagliola was developed in the 16th century in Italy. It is made from a mixture of plaster, pigment, marble dust, and glue that is painted over gesso then heated. Scagliola was used for table tops, ornamental panels, and columns (Rowland and Riley 1981). It is softer than true marble and scratches easily.

Scandium

== Description ==
A rare earth metallic element. Scandium was predicted by Mendeleev in 1869 and given the name ekaboron, but not discovered until 1879 by Lars Fredrik Nilson of Sweden.

Scanning electron microscope

== Description ==
A microscope that uses a scanning beam of electrons to magnify images as much as 50,000 times. First sold commercially in 1965, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) has a finely focused electron beam that interacts with the sample's surface to provide images and analysis. Electrons that are ejected from the sample, called secondary electrons, are collected and translated into a picture of the sample's surface. X-rays emitted from the sample permit by energy dispersive analysis to characterize and map the concentration of elements that are present.
