The study is conducted for determining the existing student’s preferences and reaction towards ball pen. 2. Literature Review: “Attitude is an evaluative response, usually contrasted with simple belief by its more direct connection with motivation and behavior. An attitude is a state whose real meaning is satisfaction or active dissatisfaction with some way the world is rather than a simple cognition of the way world is”.(http://www.answers.com/attitudes&r=67). This report has mainly focused on student’s attitude toward ball point pen. While surveying we have come know about some characteristics of ball point pen. Then we have found some technical words used to describe pen’s characteristics such as “Elastogrip”. It means the elastic clasp. (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 7th Edition). 3. Problem Statement: The topic: Student’s Attitude toward Ball Point Pen: A Study Based on BIBM. The main idea: The main idea is to identify the factors that the students consider while buying a pen and to know which pen the students use most and why. Time and place context: This study has covered only the present market situation of ball pen. The survey has been conducted only at Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management.

Abstract Among the various non-oxide ceramics, silicon carbide (SiC) is the leader. The attractive properties, such as good specific strength and Young’s modulus as a function of the temperature, the specific stiffness, relatively low weight, corrosion and erosion resistance and easy availability in complex engineering shapes, have made SiC an attractive alternative to the hard metal compositions. These products are applied for high...

The primer, in most cases, is water-borne polyurethane and the final layer of protective gloss coat is generally a two-part solvent-based polyurethane. The protective coating is designed to be water permeable. When a golf ball is struck, it creates micro-cracks, allowing for increased passage of humidity/water. To prevent macro cracking or bubbling of the protective gloss coat, the coating must be designed to allow water to flow freely.The core or “engine” Golf ball construction is generally broken down into four main types: LIQUID CENTER Construction: Small rubber or plastic core filled with liquid, surrounded by rubber windings tightly wrapped around the core.

...study was to observe how children apply mathematical and scientific reasoning to various objects that sink or float. The study was designed to test the hypotheses that social interaction is related to cognitive change, that children progress through developmental stages in an understanding of science. Two children were used for the investigation a boy aged eleven and a girl aged six. The data was collated from video-recorded tasks. The participant’s predictions and explanations were coded. Findings revealed that when the children experienced cognitive conflict or were challenged by the researcher this could cause conceptual change, leading to a developmental progression in the children’s scientific thinking. INTRODUCTION Considerable research exists on the mathematic and scientific thinking of children. Selly, N (1993) proposed a developmental progression of children’s scientific understanding, relating to floating and sinking. Selly argues that young children have a very practical view of buoyancy. As children realise that their explanations are insufficient, they progress through a series of what Selley termed Hypotheses from 1, 1A,2,3,and 4. Cognitive changes in the development of mathematical and scientific concepts are Piaget’s discovery learning, this occurs when children are lone learners working mostly on their own. To get children to progress with their thinking Paiget and his colleagues would challenge pupils and their thinking creating conflict and producing disequilibrium...

...cognitive development Cognitive development is looking at the way children learn and process information. Jean Piaget (1896-1980) was a psychologist looking into the development of cognitive processes; his research is still highly influential today for studies carried out on cognitive development in children. Piaget believed intelligence is the balance which a person achieves between themselves and the environment and that this was achieved by the actions on the world of a young person who is developing. Piaget constructed several concepts to define the stages of child development; he was fascinated by the way that all children seemed to go through the same stages of discovering the world at the same time. Piaget’s research suggested a stage theory on each stage the children had a distinct type of thinking. The first stage of four which Piaget defines is the sensorimotor stage (0-2 years). The baby is able to understand the world by using its senses and motor actions. They are able to pretend to play and use single words towards the end of its sensorimotor stage. An important feature of the sensory motor stage is object permanence and the development of this. Learning that objects do not disappear when they are out of sight. However there are problems with Piaget’s research on this stage of development, this has been discovered by other researchers carrying out studies using heart-rate, rate of sucking and habituation technique. Bower (1982) discovered that a child of three...
