Abstract: Academic achievement is a comprehensive concept which requires an in depth investigation of the real world and even the students accomplishment in school including progress in core subjects. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationships of parent student interaction, parent school relations and academic achievement in Basoliben woreda. To achieve this objective a sample of 366 students has taken and self-administered questionnaires were distributed through the selected respondents. Both descriptive and multiple linear regression model were employed. The result shows that the average mark of secondary school student is 67.3286 with maximum of 98.3 and a minimum of 45. There is also average mark difference between male students and female students. From multiple linear regression result, it is evident that gender, Age, distance from the parent’s house to school, parental support, student taking alcohol, parent use alcohol and money receive from parent for entertaining purpose have a significant effect on academic achievement of secondary school students. From the result of this study, we concluded that there is also low parent- school relationship in the study area and it affects the academic achievement of students. Emphasis should be given to improve the academic performance of female students through adjusting special support which may allow female students perform well, Parent should be work in the ground to improve students’ academic achievement.

Abstract: Though metal foams possess excellent overall performances, its performances behave quite different due to its apparent aperture difference of pores diameter, pores roundness and significant macrostructure flaws, such as sharp edged pores and incomplete cell walls. It is meaningful to reduce macrostructure defects or improve pores structure uniformity of metal foams from the view point of practical applications. In this work, different thickening agents were added into AZ31B magnesium composite foams to balance foaming process and improve the homogeneity of pore diameter, pore roundness and cell wall integrity. The results showed that pore diameter, roundness of the pores and integrity of cell walls were obviously influenced by thickening agents. Based on a large number of experimental results, calcium granules and magnesium cerium intermediate alloy were used to control the number and morphology of solid particles in magnesium melt, and a kind of magnesium composite foams with fine roundness pores and complete cell wall structure were obtained.
