From Healing the Whole Person: An Argument for Therapeutic Touch as a Complement to Traditional Medical Practice by Marlene B. Huff, Kimberly K. McClanahan, Hatim A. Omar

“…While anecdotal and traditional scientific evidence suggest that TT would be an advantageous addition for clinics and hospitals to include in their armamentarium of complementary interventions within the realm of traditional medicine, TT has not become widely available in the U.S. One reason for the lack of availability may be the dearth of conclusive scientific support for TT's efficacy and, therefore, its inclusion in clinic and hospital treatment planning would give it the appearance of legitimate practice, which it may not yet deserve. …”

Optimization of Enzymatic Hydrolysis by Protease Produced from Bacillus subtilis MTCC 2423 to Improve the Functional Properties of Wheat Gluten Hydrolysates by Hari Prasath Rajendhran, Vinoth Kumar Vaidyanathan, Swethaa Venkatraman, Pothiyappan Karthik

“…Gluten protein hydrolysis using protease achieved a 34.07% degree of hydrolysis with 5% gluten protein, at a hydrolysis time of 2 h for 1000 U/mL at pH 8.0 and temperature of 40°C. Compared to the wheat gluten, the obtained hydrolysates exhibited enhanced functional attributes, including heightened solubility (43%), increased emulsifying activity (93.08 m2/g), and improved radical scavenging properties. …”

Threshold Effect of Financial System on High-Quality Economic Development by Lu Shen, Guohua He

“…The results demonstrate that the impact of the financial system on the high-quality economy presents an inverted U-shaped relationship when the financial system and industrial structure are the threshold variables, indicating that there is an optimal interval, that is, when the financial system threshold is between 0.1355 and 0.1377 and the industrial structure threshold is between 0.1364 and 0.1408, the financial system plays a greater role in the allocation of funds and has the most obvious positive impact on high-quality economic development. …”
