description: The practice of executive coaching has expanded over the past two decades. Business leaders from many industries have benefited from this form of professional development. The field of education, however, has not kept pace with the business world with respect to the application of executive coaching. A service similar to executive coaching in the business world is not widely available to educational leaders. Coaching and other personalized development opportunities for school leaders stand in contrast to traditional “one-shot” professional development activities such as workshops or trainings. Reviews of professional development literatures have suggested that, for leaders in education, contemporary job demands are increasingly more complex, which can tax their personal resources and limit their development through customary venues. Recent practice suggests development for school leaders is becoming more personalized, but these new opportunities can be provided in many different ways and through many different arrangements. The current exploration attempted to understand whether executive coaching may have benefits for school leaders as a professional development service. An online survey was made available to principals and supervisors in New Jersey. The educational leaders who responded appeared to welcome the prospect of a more personalized development opportunity. They believed that coaching may have value, but also expressed some logistical concerns.

Worker, head long, granulated; jaws with a strong tooth near the base pointing downwards and inwards, and thence gradually tapering to the tip, and finely serrated, l- 6 th of an inch long; thorax barely grooved; abdominal pedicle small, low, ovate; abdomen very long; sting large; head and abdomen blackish brown, thorax and legs rufous. - Length 3 / 4 of an inch.
1 have not seen this remarkable Ant in the Carnatic. I first saw it at Tellicherry, and subsequently in other parts of Malabar. It is also found in the Mysore country as I learn from Mr. Hamilton, a most talented and industrious Amateur Entomologist.
I have given it the name of saltator from its power of making nest surprising jumps which it does when alarmed or disturbed. [[...]] very pugnacious, and bites, and stings very severely. It makes [[...]] nest under ground, generally about the roots of some plant. [[...]] society does not consist of many individuals. It appears to [[...]] ca insects, which it often seizes alive.

description: Latinos underutilize mental health services due to such disadvantages as language barriers, low income, and legal status. Successful ways to increase treatment engagement, retention, and effectiveness with this population are urgently needed. In line with this need, the present research project studied one factor with empirically based potential for enhancing treatment effectiveness with Latinos, namely, the therapeutic alliance as conceptualized by Bordin (1979) and by Horvath and Greenberg (1989). The presence of emotional bonds and clear and agreed upon goals and tasks between client and therapist was examined. This study focused on a convenience sample of low SES, Spanish-speaking Latinos (eight women and two men) with major depressive diagnoses. As part of a larger study, participants received two Motivational Interviewing (MI) sessions designed to increase adherence with anti-depressant medication and lower depression, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-II, Spanish Record Form (BDI-II). The first aim of the present study was to evaluate the MI sessions to determine if the Working Alliance Inventory Observer (WAI-O) form adapted by Tichenor and Hill (1989) from Horvath and Greenberg's (1989) measure of strength of alliance (WAI) predicted subsequent degree of improvement in medication adherence and the BDI-II. The second aim was to qualitatively analyze MI session transcripts using a grounded theory approach to identify specific qualitative categories of client-therapist interaction that describe the particular meanings of the WAI-O ratings. The quantitative results revealed moderate positive correlations of .455 and .467, respectively, between WAI-O and the two main outcome measures, both significant at the one-sided, .10 level. The qualitative results yielded three major areas of bonding—such as "acceptance" and "enhancing confidence"—which in turn were divided into eight discreet therapist behaviors, including displays of affirmation, interest, and respect to help the client feel cared for, understood, and validated, as well as one client behavior of expressing belief that the therapist could help. Findings in the goals and tasks domains are also presented. Finally, the overall results are discussed in terms of promoting the tailoring of the therapeutic alliance to the mental health needs and life contexts of disadvantaged, depressed, Spanish-speaking Latinos.

description: Monospilus dispar Sars, 1862.
Rare in studied material, a single individual occurred in a lake (S6) in Hunan. M. dispar is associated with a sandy littoral. The species was described from Norway and recorded throughout the world, but recent studies showed that in the Neotropics it is replaced by sibling-species; the taxonomic status of other tropical records is questionable. In Eurasia, M. dispar is common in cold and temperate regions, rather rare in tropics. For a description see Alonso (1996).

An empirical evaluation of recovery transformation at a large community behavioral healthcare organization
Creators: name: Malinovsky, Igor

Year: 2011

description: In recent decades, the concept of “recovery” from severe mental illness (SMI) has gained increased prominence among organizations providing behavioral health services. Organizations in many states are currently developing plans to transform their mental health systems in accordance with recovery-oriented care. Even though efforts to bring the principles of recovery to mental health agencies have been well documented in the United States and abroad, there is little empirical evidence to suggest that recovery-oriented services are advantageous. The purpose of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a recovery-oriented transformation carried out by a large private not-for-profit behavioral healthcare organization serving individuals with SMI. This transformation targeted the philosophy, and specific procedures involved in the provision of care to consumers within the organization. The outcome variables selected to evaluate the impact of the transformation were grouped into the following categories: 1) organizational performance indicators; 2) consumer recovery indicators; 3) staff competencies; and 4) processes that promote recovery. Six hundred and twenty seven consumers and 490 staff participated in the evaluation. The findings suggest that recovery-oriented services had a positive impact on rates of overnight hospitalization, consumers’ ability to function in the community, professional competencies of direct care employees, and working alliance between direct care providers and consumers. This indicates that comprehensive and well structured recovery-oriented behavioral healthcare may offer a cost-efficient and effective alternative to the deficit approach in mental health.

description: This research provides an analysis of the mathematical growth and development  of one student, Stephanie, as she worked on early algebra tasks during her eighth-grade  year as part of a teaching experiment. Stephanie was among the original participants in a  longitudinal study which investigated how students develop mathematical ideas under  conditions that fostered independent exploration, reasoning, and justification of ideas  (Maher, 2005). A qualitative approach based on the analytical model described by  Powell, Francisco, and Maher (2003), was taken in analyzing videotape data from the  Robert B. Davis Institute of Learning archive, along with student work. Seven task-based  interview sessions were analyzed, spanning a six month period, beginning from  November 8, 1995 to April 17, 1996. The research focused on Stephanie’s algebraic  reasoning; in particular, how she built an understanding of the binomial theorem and  related it to Pascal’s triangle. Stephanie’s representations, her explanations and  justifications, and her methods of dealing with obstacles to understanding, were all  examined and provided the basis for this research.  The analysis shows that Stephanie built her mathematical understanding through  the development of multiple representations of concepts and moved fluidly between and  among the representations that she organized into ‘symbolic’ and ‘visual’ representations. Symbolic representations included algebraic expressions, combinatorics notation, and  Pascal’s triangle while visual representations included drawings, tables, models formed  by algebra blocks and other manipulatives, and towers built with unifix cubes.  Furthermore, through Stephanie’s explanations and justification of her representations  and reasoning in general, she invented strategies to convince herself as well as the  researchers that she had fulfilled the requirements of the problem task. When dealing  with obstacles to her understanding such as lack of information, or calculating obstacles,  Stephanie acquired the use of several heuristic methods in order to overcome them.  These included the use of substituting in numbers in order to test a conjecture; returning  to basic meaning; drawing diagrams; building models; and considering a simpler  problem. Throughout the task-based interviews, Stephanie retrieved knowledge from her  earlier problem solving and extended this knowledge to build new ideas, while tackling  more challenging problems. In particular, Stephanie mapped the coefficients in the  binomial expansion to particular rows in Pascal’s Triangle; she connected these ideas to  her problem solving from earlier work in the elementary grades. The findings are  relevant to the timing and method of early algebraic instruction in schools.

description: Research Question: What individuals, institutions and organizations were instrumental  in the development of the educational philosophy for African Americans in Southern  New Jersey from 1920-1945?  Methodology: This dissertation employed oral history in the qualitative tradition using  video recording equipment. Data were gathered from twelve participants representing  nine family groups and four southern New Jersey Counties. The data were coded and  analyzed to determine common and distinct themes which influenced the participants’  individual and collective educational experiences.  Findings: South Jersey, bordering Delaware, Maryland and Virginia inherited racial  attitudes from their southern neighbors. These southern ideologies were reflected in the  types of schools available to black children during that era. The findings were as follows.  1. The participants all attended public schools in South Jersey. The grammar  schools were segregated; and those who attended high school attended integrated  schools or The Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth at  Bordentown.  2. The participants’ parents who had greater socio-economic status than their  peers and/or had cultural and social capital were able to orchestrate their  children’s education. These parents chose an educational path for their children  that included college attendance or attending the manual training school in  Bordentown. Parents with capital were able to lay a foundation for success in an  era that segregated and discriminated against blacks.  3. The participants, through their lenses as students, were very vocal and exacting  about describing their studies, teachers, and events that occurred in the segregated  schools, but were very reluctant to describe their high school experiences.  Significance: Black parents who held greater socio-economic status than their peers, and  possessed cultural and social capital had great influence over their children’s education.  They chose schools that provided their children with a trade or profession.
What went missing

description: Purpose  Service learning, an innovative program that combines community service with  academic course content, has achieved a new vibrancy under President Obama. Over  1,100 colleges and universities are now involved in some form of community service, an  increase of over 50% in the last 10 years. Despite the reported positive impact of such  programs by faculty and students, little research is available on how to create and sustain  a service learning program. This qualitative case study sought to understand some of  these implementation issues through an examination of a failed service learning program  at a regional university in the Northeast.  Research Questions  1. How do faculty members describe their participation in the service learning  program at Korbet University?  2. How do faculty members describe the organizational context for service  learning at Korbet University?  iii  3. From the faculty descriptions, what contributed to the failure of the service  learning program at Korbet University?  Methodology  This case study utilized interviews with a purposeful sample of 15 faculty and  reviewed documents to build an understanding of why the service learning program  failed. To analyze the data record, a number of phases were utilized, including coding  and subcoding, looking for evidence and relationships across the codes to develop  categories that reflected the literature and research questions, and finally, “selecting data  excerpts” (Hatch, 2002, p. 159) to illuminate the final themes.  Findings  The failure of service learning in this site was attributed to several interrelated  factors. These factors were changing leadership, the undermining of organizational  structures, and declining resources to support the implementation of service learning. As  the organizational context became less supportive of service learning, faculty  participation decreased until service learning was a program in name only. The findings  corroborate those of organizational change experts that suggest it is the phase of  implementing or continuing a new program rather than the innovative stage that typically  leads to its demise.  Significance  Although this study is limited by the case of one service learning program, it is  significant, in part, because it is based on issues surrounding programmatic decline and  failure rather than success. It is noteworthy because it tried to understand from those  involved in the program what went wrong. The study is also significant in that it  examined organizational change and how innovations impact participants and  organizational context.
Novice teacher induction

description: Every year a new crop of novice teachers begin their careers with energy, excitement and high hopes for the future.  They also embark on their new careers with the potential for great disillusionment regarding the challenges and realities that lie ahead.  As a result, 30% of teachers in the United States drop out during their first two years of teaching.  This phenomenon, coupled with increased calls for smaller class sizes, more children with special needs, and high rates of teacher retirements, highlights the critical state of high-quality induction programs and support for new teachers. This study examined whether teachers in a sample of New Jersey schools received induction experiences in areas where they believe their growth is most needed and to what degree they felt supported by their principals and school organization.  It also investigated the relationship between new teachers’ participation in certain induction activities and the extent to which they feel supported and satisfied with their jobs. Data were collected through an online survey of 77 first and second year teachers. Summary descriptive statistics were used to characterize teachers’ induction experiences and perceptions of their own abilities.  Linear regression analysis was used to explore relationships between new teacher induction and support and job satisfaction. Overall, novice teachers revealed a strong commitment to improvement, a commitment to the profession and satisfaction with their jobs.  At the same time, they also demonstrated a feeling that they do not receive the types and amounts of support and guidance that they needed.  The most significant finding in this study was the vital role of the principal in supporting new teachers and building job satisfaction. Implications of the findings are discussed.

This is one of the commonest species of Ant in Malabar, extending from the level of the sea up to the top of the Neilgherries. It lives in the ground in small societies, often making its nest in a flower pot, occasionally under a large stone. It does not work in concert, being generally seen solitary. It lives on animal sub-stances, but apparently will also take vegetable matter. I have seen two fighting for a ripe seed of the Lantana. I have not met with the female of this species.

description: This study was a two-year, design experiment that had two purposes. The first purpose was to describe the interactions in an online synchronous environment of students at three different high schools, two in New Jersey and one in Rio de Janeiro, and the second was to understand the contributions of these interactions on students’ development of mathematical ideas.  The online environment is called Virtual Math Teams, developed at Drexel University and hosted at mathforum.org.  In this study, the interactions are defined as the uses of the Wiki and other affordances of the online environment. The central research questions were twofold: (1) How do students use wikis in an online, synchronous website to integrate knowledge from other groups?  (2) How do students use the affordances of an online environment as they work on social choice problems involving fair division?  Two major findings result from this study.  First, results indicate that students transferred knowledge through the use of wikis in particular ways.  Second, the affordances of the environment allowed the students to communicate as a group without the use of audio or video connections to exchange and build mathematical ideas.  Moreover, the findings of this investigation challenge previous research (Figlio, Rush, & Yin, 2010) on limitations in students’ ability to effectively communicate in an online environment.  Students in this study used the affordances of the environment to integrate information from other groups and to collaborate on problems in the fields of combinatorics and social choice.  The transfer of knowledge between groups through the Wiki is useful for teachers exploring the instructional use of emergent technologies.

description: There is a need to research teaching practices that encourage student accountability and empowerment in the mathematics classroom.  Researchers’ have investigated students’ mathematical identity in the classroom; however, none have examined students’ mathematical identity in an online environment.  With the increased demand for online courses, it is important that we understand how students’ mathematical identity can be affected in a synchronous computer networked classroom  The research project, eMath, observed several students’ mathematical behavior over the course of one school year, conducted during their regular class time, as they worked on mathematics, collaboratively, in a virtual environment.  This study focused on tracing the evolution of students’ mathematical identity as they worked in a collaborative team solving open-ended mathematical tasks. The data for this dissertation include the transcripts of students online written discussions and whiteboard activity from one team of four boys as they solved five combinatorial tasks, as well as researcher notes recorded during the sessions and afterward taken during weekly meetings of the research group.  Analysis of the data revealed that the students displayed accountability to the community, accountability to the mathematics, and empowerment.  As they worked in small groups to solve open-ended mathematics problems they shifted away from individual competitive work to more group cooperation and collaboration.  The study shows that students achieving accountability in mathematics can be an empowering experience and may affect their mathematical identity in the sense that they develop a stronger relationship with the subject of mathematics.  This study contributes to mathematics education research by providing mathematics educators with a better understanding of how approaches to learning online can offer students new opportunities to expand their mathematical identity.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the determinants of Black parents’ intention to  have their daughters receive the HPV vaccine. Specific determinants consisted of  constructs from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Relationships between attitudes  and HPV vaccine intentions, as well as the relationship between behavioral beliefs and  attitudes among Black parents were explored. A mediation model was tested to explain  the relationship between behavioral beliefs, attitudes, and HPV vaccine intention.  A descriptive correlational design was used to examine the hypothesized relationships. A  convenience sample of 232 Black parents with daughters between the ages of 9 and 17  years was recruited. A researcher developed instrument, HPV Beliefs, Attitudes, and  Intention Questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire were used to collect data.  Study results indicated that HPV parental attitudes were found to be a significant  predictor of vaccine intention (β = 0.85, p < .001). A significant relationship between  religious and mistrust behavioral beliefs and attitudes was found among Black parents (β  = .23, p < .001). In addition, parental vaccine attitudes were found to completely mediate  the relationship between HPV vaccine behavioral beliefs and parental HPV vaccine intention.  Testing of the theorized relationships allowed for the exploration of specific beliefs and  attitudes of Black parents which may lead to a better understanding of predictors of  behavioral intentions. Replication of this study in multiple geographic settings would be  prudent to increase the generalizability of study findings.
Complexity leadership in industrial innovation teams

description: Innovation teams comprised of heterogeneous specialists are prevalent in industrial company innovation systems because these teams are perceived to possess special learning and innovative capabilities. There has been insufficient research on how leadership can help create the dynamics advantageous to learning and innovating in heterogeneous teams. Complexity Leadership Theory endeavors to address this issue (Marion & Uhl-Bien, 2001; Uhl-Bien, Marion, & McKelvey, 2007; Uhl-Bien & Marion, 2009). This study uses the insights from Complexity Leadership Theory and from research on team creativity, team innovation, small group process, group learning and team heterogeneity to develop and test a model of complexity leadership in innovation teams. Complexity leadership, which is examined with regard to the influence shared among the team leaders and the team members, is proposed to be positively linked to innovation team outcomes. The model is tested with quantitative data from a field study of 59 innovation teams from 25 industrial companies and informed as well by qualitative data on 5 teams from 3 companies. Complexity leadership was found to have a positive effect on collaborative learning, innovation enabling behaviors, and perceived performance. The analysis tested the mediation effects of collaborative learning and the existence of a heterogeneity norm on the relationship between complexity leadership and team outcomes. Collaborative learning was found to mediate this relationship and some support was found as well for a mediating effect of the existence of a heterogeneity norm. The expectation that complexity leadership would moderate the effects of job relevant heterogeneity on innovation enabling behaviors and perceived performance received only moderate limited evidence of support.

description: The routine activity approach, lifestyle perspective, and environmental criminology, all argue the risk of violence is not distributed evenly across time and space. This dissertation quantifies the risk of violence for different activities and types of place. Using data from the National Crime Victimization Survey and American Time Use Survey, activity- and place-specific rates of violence are calculated to determine (a) which activity or type of place is the most dangerous, (b) the relative risk of activities and types of place, and (c) how activity- and place-specific risks vary between demographic subgroups. Time-based rates are used to account for the reality that Americans do not spend equal amounts of time in activities and types of place. The activity-specific analysis showed sleeping was the safest activity in America; going to and from school was the most dangerous. The risk of violence during the school commute is 285 times higher than it is while sleeping.  The place-specific analysis indicated home was the safest place to be while the street was the most dangerous; the risk of violence on the street was 51 times higher than it was at home. When rates of violence were calculated for demographic subgroups of the American population, the race and sex of individuals were found to have little effect on the risk of violence.  Age was the only demographic variable included in the analysis that had substantial impact on the risk of victimization in different activities and types of place.  These findings indicate crime prevention strategies cannot neglect the role lifestyles play in an individual’s risk of victimization. Because the risk of violence varies greatly between activities and types of place it is inappropriate to label demographic subgroups as high risk based on the population size alone. This research indicates it is what people do, not who they are, that determines their risk of violence. Additionally, this research shows risk assessments that do not account for the transient nature of Americans in time and space can produce misleading information as to which activities and types of place are the most dangerous.

description: This research analyzes how external representations created by a student, Robert, helped him in building mathematical understanding over a sixteen-year period. Robert (also known as Bobby), was an original participant of the Rutgers longitudinal study where students were encouraged to work on problem-solving tasks with minimum intervention (Maher, 2005). The research demonstrates how Robert built robust counting techniques by tracing the evolvement of his problem-solving heuristics, strategies, justifications and external representations. The study also examines how Robert made connections to his earlier problem solving. In addition, the origins of Robert’s ideas related to Pascal’s Triangle and Pascal’s Pyramid are investigated. Fifteen sessions were selected between Robert’s fifth grade (February 26, 1993) and post-graduate interviews (March 27, 2009) yielding more than twenty hours of video data.  Powell, Francisco, and Maher (2003) model was used for analysis where by each session was viewed, transcribed and coded for critical events to create a comprehensive narrative. The study reveals that mature combinatorial techniques were a part of Robert’s counting strategies as early as middle school.  Robert used binary notation to count two-colored candle arrangements and later to count the number of ways a team could win a World Series; modified exponential formulae to account for combinations for a garage door opener, arrangements for n-colored candles and n-toppings pizzas; discovered the combinations formula, C(n, 2), in his eleventh grade; and connected these solutions to Pascal’s identities. In general, Robert looked for patterns in his solutions; generalized the findings; and identified structural similarities in tasks presented to him as he connected three-position garage door opener to three-colored candles arrangements, pizza with four toppings to towers four high, and directions on Pascal’s Triangle to routes for a taxi on a two-dimensional grid.  External representations created by Robert served as communication tools for him and provided insight into his problem solving heuristics and mathematical understanding.  The research contributes to the growing body of case studies from Rutgers longitudinal study providing evidence that building of early mathematical ideas is the foundation of more advanced learning (Davis & Maher, 1997).
Resolving Wh/quantifier ambiguities

description: The interaction of wh-words and quantifiers in questions has long been characterized as exhibiting a subject/object asymmetry, when a pair-list answer is available for object questions with subject quantifiers, like Which book did every student read? but not for subject questions with object quantifiers Which student read every book? (May 1985). Yet, the availability of pair-list answers to subject questions remains debatable and individual acceptability judgments reported in the literature vary significantly. We ran three experiments to test what factors proposed in the syntactic/semantic literature contribute to the availability of pair-list answers. The experiments confirmed the subject/object asymmetry. The data show that plurality of a wh-phrase does not make pair-list answers more readily available; pair-list answers are more likely to arise for questions with each than with every. We have also uncovered a group of individuals whose acceptability of pair-list answers is high both for subject and object questions and therefore does not show a subject/object asymmetry. We make an attempt to account for the behavior of that group by extending the analysis proposed in Beghelli (1997).
Dispersion relations for elastic waves in plates and rods

description: Wave propagation in homogeneous elastic structures is studied. Dispersion relations are obtained for elastic waves in plates and rods, for symmetric and antisymmetric modes using different displacement potentials. Some engineering beam theories are considered. Dispersion relations are obtained for phase velocity. The comparison of results  based on the fundamental beam theories is presented for the lowest flexural mode. The Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equations are  derived for elastic plate  using the Helmholtz displacement decomposition. The Rayleigh-Lamb equations are considered in a new way. A new series expansion of frequency to any order of wave number, in principle, is obtained for symmetric and antisymmetric modes using an iteration method. Dispersion relations are shown in graphs for frequency, phase speed and group speed versus wave number. The obtained results are in good agreement with exact solutions. The cutoff frequencies for axial-shear, radial-shear and flexural modes are calculated and taken as starting points in dispersion relations for frequencies versus wave number. Different displacement potential representations are presented and compared. The Pochhammer-Chree frequency equations are derived for elastic rods using two displacement potentials, such as the Helmholtz decomposition for vector fields and Buchwald's vector potentials. Buchwald's representation enables us to find an efficient formulation of dispersion relations in an isotropic as well as anisotropic rods. Analysis of the numerical results on dispersion relations and cutoff frequencies for axial-shear, radial-shear and flexural modes is given.

Year: 2011

description: There have been increased interests in mobile robot research due to its many applications in areas such as material handling, explorations in hazardous environments, and military missions under extreme conditions. Many control schemes and robot systems have been developed, yet most of these systems eventually become individual experiments that are unique or specific to particular applications. It is very difficult to verify or reuse the controls developed and build upon the existing knowledge. We argue that it is necessary to develop an integrated experiment and simulation environment equipped with a user-friendly interface to examine existing controls and eventually serve as an experimental testbed for mobile robot research.  The main contributions of this thesis are the design and integration of a hardware in the loop simulation environment for mobile robot control and navigation. We developed an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) that can provide the users with the overall access to various robot functions including sensor feedback, object recognition, and tools for implementing the control strategies to study robot behaviors.
Application of garcinia indica as a colorant and antioxidant in rice extrudates

description: Garcinia indica, commonly known as Kokum, is a tropical fruit native to India. The rinds of fruit are rich source of red anthocyanin pigments which are characterized as cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside. The fruit juice is strongly acidic (pH = 1.87) due to the presence of hydroxycitric acid, an organic acid known for its weight suppressing action. Recently a new, yellow, fat soluble pigment called garcinol has been separated from the fruit rinds. Garcinol is a polyphenolic compound known to possess antioxidant activity. Presence of bioactive compounds in the fruit promotes its use as a colorant and antioxidant in a food product. The antioxidant potential of Kokum has been previously studied but the effect of processing on its antioxidant activity is still unknown. Thus effects of extrusion processing on the color and antioxidant activity of rice extrudates fortified with spray-dried encapsulated fruit powder were studied.  A lab-scale Brabender single screw extruder was used for the extrusion. The control variables were barrel temperature (120°C-180°C), feed moisture (18-24%) and Kokum powder content (3-5%). The total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity of rice extrudates were measured by Folin-Ciocalteau method and ORAC, respectively.  The color of extrudates (hue and chroma) was also measured to quantify the redness of samples. Effects of control variables on physical properties of extrudates such as bulk density, breaking strength and expansion index were also studied.  The extrudates showed excellent red color when extruded at temperatures up to 150°C beyond which anthocyanins degraded resulting in lesser red color. TPC and ORAC of samples showed maximum retention at 120°C and 180°C and minimum at 150°C. The loss of TPC and ORAC varied from 33 to 61% and 12 to 75%, respectively. Maximum breaking strength and maximum bulk density were observed at low temperature (120°C) and high moisture (21%). Expansion index was maximum at high temperature (150°C) and low moisture (18%). The effect of powder on bulk density and expansion index was not as prominent as that of temperature.  Thus, Kokum can be used as colorant and antioxidant for extruded product however; the loss of antioxidants is substantial.
