Background: Orthosiphon stamineus is a traditional medicinal plant in Southeast Asia countries with various well-known pharmacological activities such as antidiabetic, diuretics and antitumor activities. Transketolase is one of the proteins identified in the leaves of the plant and transketolase is believed able to lower blood sugar level in human through non-pancreatic mechanism. In order to understand the protein behavioral properties, 3D model of transketolase and analysis of protein structure are of obvious interest. Methods: In the present study, 3D model of transketolase was constructed and its atomic characteristics revealed. Besides, molecular dynamic simulation of the protein at 310 K and 368 K deciphered transketolase may be a thermophilic protein as the structure does not distort even at elevated temperature. This study also used the protein at 310 K and 368 K resimulated back at 310 K environment. Results: The results revealed that the protein is stable at all condition which suggest that it has high capacity to adapt at different environment not only at high temperature but also from high temperature condition to low temperature where the structure remains unchanged while retaining protein function. Conclusion: The thermostability properties of transketolase is beneficial for pharmaceutical industries as most of the drug making processes are at high temperature condition.

Fly ash is an aluminosilicate and the major by-product from coal combustion in power stations; its increasing volumes are major economic and environmental concerns, particularly since it is one of the largest mineral resources based on current estimates. Mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) is the only stable phase in the Al2O3-SiO2 system and is used in numerous applications owing to its high-temperature chemical and mechanical stabilities. Hence, fly ash offers a potential economical resource for mullite fabrication, which is confirmed by a review of the current literature. This review details the methodologies to utilise fly ash with different additives to fabricate what are described as porous interconnected mullite skeletons or dense mullite bodies of approximately stoichiometric compositions. However, studies of pure fly ash examined only high-Al2O3 forms and none of these works reported long-term, high-temperature, firing shrinkage data for these mullite bodies. In the present work, high-SiO2 fly ashes were used to fabricate percolated mullite, which is demonstrated by the absence of firing shrinkage upon long-term high-temperature soaking. The major glass component of the fly ash provides viscosities suitably high for shape retention but low enough for ionic diffusion and the minor mullite component provides the nucleating agent to grow mullite needles into a direct-bonded, single-crystal, continuous, needle network that prevents high-temperature deformation and isolates the residual glass in the triple points. These attributes confer outstanding long-term dimensional stability at temperatures exceeding 1500 °C, which is unprecedented for mullite-based compositions.

Melting solidification experiments of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash were carried out in a high-temperature tube furnace device. An ash fusion temperature (AFT) test, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied in order to gain insight into the ash fusibility, the transformation during the melting process, and the leaching behavior of heavy metals in slag. The results showed that oxide minerals transformed into gehlenite as temperature increased. When the temperature increased to 1300 °C, 89 °C higher than the flow temperature (FT), all of the crystals transformed into molten slag. When the heating temperatures were higher than the FT, the volatilization of the Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu decreased, which may have been influenced by the formation of liquid slag. In addition, the formation of liquid slag at a high temperature also improved the stability of heavy metals in heated slag.

In this paper, the thermal stress characteristics of the pipe-in-pipe (PIP) system under high temperature condition are analyzed. The PIP is a type of pipe applied in sodium-cooled faster reactor (SFR) and has a different geometry from a single pipe. In particular, under the high temperature condition of the SFR, the high thermal stress is generated due to the temperature gradient occurring between the inner pipe and outer pipe. To investigate the thermal stress characteristics, three cases are considered according to geometry of the support. The fully constrained support and intermediate support are considered for case 1 and 2, respectively. For case 3, both supports are applied to the actual curved pipe. The finite element (FE) analyses are performed in two steps for each case. Firstly, the heat transfer analysis is carried out considering the thermal conduction, convection and radiation conditions. From the heat transfer analysis, the temperature distribution results in the piping system are obtained. Secondly, the structural analysis is performed considering the temperature distribution results and boundary conditions. Finally, the effects of the geometric characteristics on the thermal stress in the PIP system are analyzed.

In China, as popularizing the technology of fully mechanized top-coal mining and increasing the strength and depth of mining, the gutter-up gob can be formed. But the work of fire preventing and extinguishing for its coal spontaneous combustion is more complexity and difficulty. In this paper, based on geology parameters and mining practice for 93up12 fully mechanized top-coal caving face in Nantun coalmine, the form and character of gutter-up gob are analyzed. According to the hidden danger of high temperature for spontaneous combustion in the gob, we adopt the comprehension technologies of fire extinguishing and preventing which include sealing air-leakage, grouting, and injecting compound gel with fly-ash, foam of retarding oxidation, liquid carbon dioxide, and gas of nitrogen. By putting in practice the pre-controlling technology in gutter-up gob and monitoring data of target gases, it obtains a good effect and ensures the safety in production of the fully-mechanized top-coal caving face.
