The objective of the proposed work is to demonstrate the operational and economic feasibility of using high-temperature ceramic filters for particulate control in a variety of coal gasification power generating systems.

Two principal deposition processes are compared for the case of depositing 1 to 2 ..mu..m beryllium on fused-silica substrates. While the evaporation-deposition process offers advantages such as higher deposition rate, purification of the evaporant and efficient use of masks, the sputter-deposition is more versatile, and therefore more effective, in varying and controlling the microstructure of the deposits. The versatility comes about because the latter process has five major operational parameters to be selected or adjusted. Consequently, sputter-deposited beryllium films are expected to display more desirable microstructures and better surface finish than evaporation-deposited films.

The Agency for International Development is funding a new program in energy and minerals for Central America. Geothermal energy is an important component. A country-wide geothermal assessment has started in Honduras, and other assessment activities are in progress or planned for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Panama. Instrumentation for well logging has been provided to Costa Rica, and a self-contained logging truck will be made available for use throughout Central America. An important objective of this program is to involve the private sector in resource development. 4 refs., 3 figs.

Weekly report of the Texas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service on broiler chick numbers in Texas and compared with other states. It includes compiled statistics across six consecutive weeks, from the week ending August 3 to the week ending September 7, during 1984 and 1985 for broiler eggs set, chicks hatched, and chicks placed.
