Adaptive control is usually used to cope with an unknown or/and changing plant to be controlled (Astrom and Wittenmark, 1995). Analysis and synthesis of such a control system is possible only under some assumptions concerning the nature of the plant and its dynamics. In this chapter only linear, discrete-time plants disturbed in a stochastic manner will be considered. The following plant model will be used (Moscinski and Ogonowski, 1995) ... 

Synthetic control over the physical and chemical properties of a nanoparticle can be tuned according to its biological micro- or nano-environment. Some of the most notable platforms that are currently being used for the controlled synthesis of metal oxides include the apoprotein ferritin, viral capsids or bacterial cages however, recently adapted biotemplates, such as self-assemble peptide nanorings or porous butterfly wings, have been used as unique platforms and have yielded interesting structures. These molecular architectures offer constrained environments that yield a small distribution of nanoparticle size under ambient conditions, and will be discussed as viable alternatives for the synthesis of functional nanomaterials. 

Long-term or adaptive control plays an equal and perhaps even more important role in regulating acetyl-CoA carboxylase. There is a highly positive correlation between carboxylase level and fatty acid synthesis in response to changes in physiological state. Enzyme levels are drastically lowered by starvation, diabetes and high fat diets, and they are raised by carbohydrate, insulin and in the obese state (10, 23)-... 

A further opportunity for the use of stress-responsive promoters and enhancers is as probes to isolate other stress-responsive genes, the activity of which is not manifest by protein synthesis. As regards the manipulation of stress tolerance as a breeding tool, it is likely that the stress-responsive promoters and enhancers will have a role to play in controlling the expression of adaptive genes when these are transplanted over great evolutionary distances. 

There are, however, serious problems that must be overcome in the application of this reaction to synthesis. The product is a new carbocation that can react further. Repetitive addition to alkene molecules leads to polymerization. Indeed, this is the mechanism of acid-catalyzed polymerization of alkenes. There is also the possibility of rearrangement. A key requirement for adapting the reaction of carbocations with alkenes to the synthesis of small molecules is control of the reactivity of the newly formed carbocation intermediate. Synthetically useful carbocation-alkene reactions require a suitable termination step. We have already encountered one successful strategy in the reaction of alkenyl and allylic silanes and stannanes with electrophilic carbon (see Chapter 9). In those reactions, the silyl or stannyl substituent is eliminated and a stable alkene is formed. The increased reactivity of the silyl- and stannyl-substituted alkenes is also favorable to the synthetic utility of carbocation-alkene reactions because the reactants are more nucleophilic than the product alkenes. 

There are several mechanisms whereby antidepressants can modify intracellular events that occur proximal to the posts)maptic receptor sites. Most attention has been paid to the actions of antidepressants on those pathways that are controlled by receptor-coupled second messengers (such as cyclic AMP, inositol triphosphate, nitric oxide and calcium binding). However, it is also possible that chronic antidepressant treatment may affect those pathways that involve receptor interactions with protein tyrosine kinases, by increasing specific growth factor synthesis or by regulating the activity of proinflammatory cytokines. These pathways are particularly important because they control many aspects of neuronal function that ultimately underlie the ability of the brain to adapt and respond to pharmacological and environmental stimuli. One mechanism whereby antidepressants could increase the s)mthesis of trophic factors is... 

Greaney and coworkers have introduced the conjugate addition of thiols to Michael acceptors as an effective adaptive DCL strategy [46,47]. The reaction is well suited for biological DCL synthesis, taking place in water with no requirement for external reagents. As with disulfide bond formation, the reaction is subject to simple and effective pH control. Under mildly basic conditions, the thiolate anion adds rapidly to Michael acceptors under equilibrium conditions. Acidification effectively switches the reaction...
