Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent

Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is a fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent obtained by dividing the optimum volume of the extraction solvent needed to extract all of the desired solute from a given mass of the solid material into equal smaller volumes for use in separate extraction cycles
If 100ml of an extraction solvent is the optimum volume that would extract all the herbal solute from a medicinal herb, then 100ml/2 gives a fractional volume of an extraction solvent of 50ml, 100ml/3 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 33.333ml

100ml/4 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 25ml,
1/5 x 100 ml gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 20ml.

Using fractional volumes of an extraction solvent for extraction purposes gives better extraction yields than using the optimum volume of an extraction solvent as a whole.

thornton fractional south high school

Also known locally as "TF Shitty," TFSouth high school is a small garbage institue in Lansing, Illinois. Illegal activity is minimal, as is the white population. The teachers either care too little or too much.
There's a 3D printer in that weird lab in the 500 hallway? And the water fountains still taste like rust and pneumonia...TF Shitty, am I right?

Fractional Ass-ing

I did my laundry by fractional ass-ing it. Wash yesterday, dry today, might fold tomorrow but might not.

Thornton fractional south high school

A ghetto ass school with bunch of bad ass of kids who always fight at least once of month, vape in the bathrooms, fight after school and end up arrested, have random accounts about the school whether it's fighting videos, confessions, etc. The kids speak ganglish, often failing classes, and try to start music careers with trashy ass beats and awful vocals.

Very few kids who have a sense of self and actually have a future. Most of the kids roam the streets with their friends.
"This school sucks."
"Yeah, it's Thornton Fractional South High School."

Science-Fraction

The almost impossible ability to separate facts from fiction due to the tiny amount of probable truth we as humans today... have obtained.
The older I get, the more I see SCIENCE-FRACTION as a sad condition. Until we can find more absolute science... it’s often just guessing.
