Abstract: Conjugates of an interleukin-2 (“IL-2”) moiety and one or more nonpeptidic, water-soluble polymers are provided. Typically, the non-peptidic, water-soluble polymer is poly(ethylene glycol) or a derivative thereof. Also provided, among other things, are compositions comprising conjugates, methods of making conjugates, methods of administering compositions to an individual, nucleic acid sequences, expression systems, host cells, and methods for preparing IL-moieties.

Abstract: A multi-fuel fuel cell system is based on the distributed hydrogen production and fuel cell technologies is presented. The system includes fuel supply unit, fuel processor, fuel cell, heat exchange and oxidizer supply units. The fuel processor is a plasma-catalytic reformer. The heat exchange unit is a multiflow heat exchanger which is of a cascading structure from bottom top or a concentric cylinder structure from inside to outside. The multiflow heat exchanger has the function of balancing the heat of fuel processor and fuel cell. The fuel storage is connected to the fuel processor by the pipeline and provides fuel for the fuel processor. The outlet of fuel processor is connected via the multiflow heat exchanger to the fuel cell anode, and provides reactant for the fuel cell.

Abstract: A novel hydrothermal gel process for preparing silicalite particles suitable for use in composite membranes for pervaporation processes is disclosed. A novel process for preparing a silicon-silicalite composite membrane is also disclosed. The novel hydrothermal gel process produces silicalite particles having a diameter from about 0.1 micrometers to about 0.2 micrometers in high yield.
