The SENSE Theatre® Manual is the introduction, guide, and instruction manual to incorporating theatre and behavioral techniques to improve social skills in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The novel approach utilizes established behavioral methods in combination with theatrical techniques delivered in a supportive, peer-mediated, and community-based intervention.

The ARMS-D is a brief, easily administered, and validated patient survey to assess adherence to diabetes medications. It can detect non-adherence and specific reasons for non-adherence. Given the magnitude of the problem of non-adherence to diabetes medications, this instrument has application in research (observational and clinical trials) and clinical practice.

This iBook gives a brief overview of what plagiarism might mean at Vanderbilt University based on cases that have been viewed as plagiarism. This iBook was created by the Vanderbilt University English Language Center (ELC) as part of our mission to address the professional, academic, and practical language needs of students who have a first language other than English. This iBook includes a test on recognizing instances of plagiarism and tips and advice on how to avoid plagiarism.

TagDock is an efficient rigid body molecular docking algorithm that generates three-dimensional models of oligomeric biomolecular complexes in instances where there is limited experimental restraint data to guide the docking calculations. Through “distance difference analysis” TagDock additionally recommends followup experiments to further discriminate  divergent (score-degenerate) clusters of TagDock’s initial solution models.

VANDPIRE is an intuitive and comprehensive software for quantifying cerebral blood flow (CBF) and calculating CBF territories based upon arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI data. CBF analysis, particularly CBF territory analysis, is time-consuming and requires an advanced knowledge of scripting and up-to-date mathematical models. As a result, many researchers who are interested in performing such analyses are unable to do so.

Marker Enrichment Modeling (MEM) software is a quantitative system for objectively labeling and characterizing complex cell populations by quantifying feature enrichment and reporting a text label. MEM label reporting provides a new way to objectively and quantitatively communicate cell type in studies of complex, dynamic tissue microenvironments, such as stem cell niches, immune responses, and human tumors.

The Molecular Image Fusion system is a software framework that can predict ion distributions in tissue. It accomplishes this by fusing data from two distinct technologies: imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) and microscopy. IMS-generated molecular maps, rich in chemical information but having coarse spatial resolution, are combined with optical microscopy maps, which have relatively low chemical specificity but high spatial information.

Vanderbilt University’s Center for Global Democracy (CGD) is a premier social science institute dedicated to advancing the understanding of how democracies emerge, function, and evolve. Through research grounded in the highest standards of scientific rigor, CGD examines how mass publics perceive, experience, and support democratic governance, while also generating insights that inform policy innovation to strengthen democracy worldwide.

ReconFTI is a software that reconstructs functional tensor images from conventional functional magnetic resonance images. Reconstructed functional tensor images can be used to delineate functional pathways in the human brain. These functional pathways may help neuroscientists understand how different cortical regions of the human brain interact with each other.
