TB145: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Fryeburg, Lovewell, Cornish, and Charles Soil Map Units

Four soil map units from the flood plains of the Saco and Androscoggin rivers were sampled at five locations each. Soil morphology was described at each site, and samples of the soil were taken for later laboratory analyses. Chemical and physical properties of the soil were analyzed in the laboratory. The morphologic and laboratory data are presented for each pedon sampled and as summaries using weighted means of laboratory data for each soil map unit. Organic carbon measurements are presented at other sites of similar drainages and positions to demonstrate the variable carbon content.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1202/thumbnail.jp

TB155: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Chesuncook, Colonel, Dixfield, and Telos Soil Map Units

Changes in Soil Taxonomy in 1992 resulted in reclassification of the Chesuncook and Dixfield soils. Taxonomic placement of the Telos and Colonel soils was not changed. Soil morphology and laboratory analyses were completed for five replicates of each soil map unit. Weighted averages were developed from laboratory data to define the chemical and physical characteristics of each map unit. Data for individual sites and soils are presented.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1055/thumbnail.jp

TB165: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Danforth, Elliotsville, Peacham, and Penquis Soil Map Units

The soils reported in this bulletin have developed in several different parent materials. The Danforth soil has developed from very deep, well drained, loose, high coarse fragment till derived from slate and fine-grained metasandstone. The Elliottsville soils have developed in moderately deep, well drained till derived from slates, metasandstones, phyllite and schists. The Penquis soils developed in moderately deep, well drained till of similar lithology as Elliottsville, but with a higher component of weathered and crushable rock fragments throughout the soil profile. Peacham soils are developed in very deep, very poorly drained, dense till derived from phyllite, schist, and granite.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1041/thumbnail.jp

TB75: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Bangor, Dixmont, Caribou, Conant, Perham and Daigle Soil Mapping Units

Bangor, Dixmont, Caribou, Conant, Perham, and Daigle soils were each sampled a t five locations. The morphology of the soils was described. The chemical and physical properties were determined on an horizonal basis for each location in the laboratory. Weighted means of the properties were presented in 20-cm. depth ranges. Changes in classification and nomenclature of the soils were proposed.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1126/thumbnail.jp

TB46: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Allagash, Hermon, Howland, and Marlow Soil Mapping Units

The soils presented in this report were sampled at varying locations in Washington, Hancock, Aroostook and Piscataquis counties. This study was undertaken to ascertain the characteristics of the four mapping units so that their classification and interpretation as to use could be more sharply defined.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1141/thumbnail.jp

TB29: Soil-Water, Chemical and Physical Characteristics of Eight Soil Series in Maine

Eight soil series (Adams, Berkshire, Buxton, Colbath, Creasey, Hartland, Peru, Winooski) were sampled, each at five locations. The soil was sampled and analyzed on a horizon basis. Characteristics measured were organic carbon, moisture retention, water movement, particle size distribution, volume of coarse fragments, bulk density, soil reaction, exchangeable bases and exchangeable acidity. These data are important in the classification and interpretation of the soil resources of Maine.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1168/thumbnail.jp

TB34: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Charlton, Sutton, Paxton, and Woodbridge Soil Mapping Units

Charlton, Sutton, Paxton and Woodbridge soil series were each sampled at five locations. Chemical and physical properties evaluated included particle size distribution, soil reaction, moisture retention, bulk density, coarse fragment volume, exchangeable bases and acidity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, organic carbon and percolation. Properties were evaluated on a horizonal basis whenever possible. Sampling depth was to 40 inches. The samples represent a range of characteristics within each soil series. Each site is not to be considered modal for the particular soil series but was considered to within the range of characteristics of the series at the time of sampling.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1151/thumbnail.jp

TB94: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Boothbay, Brayton, Croghan, Monarda, Plaisted, Scantic, and Swanville Soil Mapping Units

Seven soil mapping units were each sampled at five locations within Maine. The morphology of the soil was described at each site. The profiles were sampled on a horizonal basis from the soil surface to a depth of 100 cm. The soil samples were taken to the laboratory where their chemical and physical properties were determined. Weighted means and weighted standard deviations were determined for several soil properties. Soil profile descriptions and chemical and physical soil data are presented for each sample site.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1101/thumbnail.jp

TB108: Chemical and Physical Properties of the Becket, Colton, Finch, Lyman, Masardis, Naumburg, and Skerry Soil Mapping Units

Soil morphology and soil characterization studies were done on seven soil mapping units in Maine. Soil profiles were selected, described and sampled jointly by soil scientists from the Soil Conservation Service, USDA and the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station. Chemical and physical measurements of each soil mapping unit were made in the laboratory. Soil profile description and the laboratory determinations are presented for each sample site.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1092/thumbnail.jp

Quasiparticles of strongly correlated Fermi liquids at high temperatures and in high magnetic fields

Strongly correlated Fermi systems are among the most intriguing, best experimentally studied and fundamental systems in physics. There is, however, lack of theoretical understanding in this field of physics. The ideas based on the concepts like Kondo lattice and involving quantum and thermal fluctuations at a quantum critical point have been used to explain the unusual physics. Alas, being suggested to describe one property, these approaches fail to explain the others. This means a real crisis in theory suggesting that there is a hidden fundamental law of nature. It turns out that the hidden fundamental law is well forgotten old one directly related to the Landau---Migdal quasiparticles, while the basic properties and the scaling behavior of the strongly correlated systems can be described within the framework of the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT). The phase transition comprises the extended quasiparticle paradigm that allows us to explain the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior observed in these systems. In contrast to the Landau paradigm stating that the quasiparticle effective mass is a constant, the effective mass of new quasiparticles strongly depends on temperature, magnetic field, pressure, and other parameters. Our observations are in good agreement with experimental facts and show that FCQPT is responsible for the observed NFL behavior and quasiparticles survive both high temperatures and high magnetic fields.Comment: 17 pages, 17 figures.
