Patent for a combustion apparatus that will maximize the heat produced with any given amount of fuel.

Transcript of a deliberation meeting held by the Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities (CECANF) held January 12-13, 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona. This meeting was convened for Commission members to discuss the issues of defining and counting child abuse and neglect fatalities and to explore recommendations for addressing them.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over tungsten deposits of Arizona. Characteristics of the tungsten deposits are discussed. This report includes tables, maps, and illustrations.

The research performed was designed to identify spatial or temporal variation of any atmospheric parameters that might affect the operation of devices utilizing solar energy in the metropolitan Phoenix area. The first part of the research involved the analysis of all available solar and climatic data to determine their validity and comparability. For the standard climatic parameters, few difficulties were encountered, but the task of determining comparability of solar radiation data involved many pitfalls. It was concluded that most of the solar data acquired before January 1977 could not be used for purposes of identifying spatial variability. And, a year and a half of data does not represent a long enough period of time upon which to base sound conclusions about spatial and temporal variability of solar radiation in the metropolitan Phoenix region. The data currently available to us do not indicate any great variation of solar radiation in the metropolitan Phoenix area. However, any meaningful statements about spatial and temporal variability of solar radiation in the metropolitan Phoenix area must await the acquisition of additional data from well-calibrated equipment.

This report presents the results of a mineral-resource survey of the Mazatzal Wilderness in the Tonto National Forest, Gila, Maricopa, and Yavapai Counties, Arizona.

This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Superstition Wilderness and contiguous RARE II Further Planning Areas, Tonto National Forest, Gila, Maricopa, and Pinal Counties, Arizona.

From preface: This report presents the results of a mineral survey of the Big Horn Mountains Wilderness Study Area (AZ-020-099), Maricopa County, Arizona.

From summary: The Harquahala Mountains BLM Wilderness Study Area is in the Basin and Range physiographic province of west-central Arizona. The present study covers 24,735 acres of the 72,675 acre wilderness study area, preliminary recommended as suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System in La Paz and Maricopa Counties, Arizona. During the winter of 1983-84, under authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (Public Law 94-579), the Bureau mapped and sampled mines and prospects in and near the WSA to determine the mineral resources present.

Report studying the use of desalinated water for irrigation at three locations in Arizona and California. Costs and benefits are measured among several different areas, including multiple concentrations of desalinated water, different desalting methods, and the desalting process.

Maricopa county is the area of Arizona receiving top priority since it contains over half of the state's population. The county is located entirely within the Basin and Range physiographic region in which geothermal resources are known to occur. Several approaches were taken to match potential users to geothermal resources. One approach involved matching some of the largest facilities in the county to nearby geothermal resources. Other approaches involved identifying industrial processes whose heat requirements are less than the average assessed geothermal reservoir temperature of 110/sup 0/C (230/sup 0/F). Since many of the industries are located on or near geothermal resources, geothermal energy potentially could be adapted to many industrial processes.
