This alloy is used in the heat-treated condition in which an optimal ratio of physical and mechanical properties is obtained [7, 8].
Due to these properties, investigations were directed to the rheological behaviour and assessment of optimal parameters for semi-solid processing of this alloy [9-11].
Results and discussion The mathematical model identify the major factors that affect the dendrite broken when the ultrasonic vibration was imposed on the molten A356.
In the factors that affecting the conditions of dendrite fragmentation, amplitude and angular wave number depend respectively on the ultrasonic power and frequency, while the variance ratio of grain cross-section M and the shape function φ(x) depend mainly on the defects of grain shape and size along the ultrasonic propagation direction.
Although this model make some reasonable simplifying assumptions, which still reflected the main factors that affecting grain broken and the law of their impact.

Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Value-Added to Dried Pineapple Fruits Using a Simple Interactive Computer Model Samwel Victor Manyele1,a 1Department of Chemical and Mining Engineering, University of Dar es Salaam, P.O.
The major factors include final moisture content, Xwf; peel loss rate, Rp; reject loss rate, Rrj; and the reject-to-peel ratio, Rrj/Rp.
The modeling of the value added to dried pineapple helps to predict the important factors which affect the value added to the final products, and hence to establish the good operating condition so as to get more profit by marketing dried pineapple than fresh pineapple.
This parameter depends on several factors such as: critical moisture content which is a property of the material being dried, drying air conditions (humidity conditions), and movement pattern of air (forced or natural draft).

Additionally, to reduce structural self-weight without excessively affecting the slab thickness (which could represent a major issue in this applications), lightweight concrete represents a preferable solution.
The properties at the fresh state are summarized in Table 1.
Since the two set of tests were carried out at different times, the mechanical properties of concrete changed consequently.
This effect is mainly due to the smaller concrete cover to diameter ratio for P-specimens and also to the significant increase in the mechanical properties of the concrete (as indicated by the increase in the compressive strength), which probably resulted in a more brittle behavior.
The decrease in the bond properties which can be expected for a lightweight concrete is to some extend compensated by the increase in the properties of the Interfacial Transition Zone, which is typical of self-compacting concrete.
