Sol-gel sensors can be easily prepared to function as site selectively templated and tagged xerogels (SSTTXs). The resulting platform is completely self-contained, and it achieves analyte recognition without the use of biomolecules,10 as shown for example by the selective detection and quantification of model compound 9-anthrol (Figure 6.11).

The transport properties across an MIP membrane are controlled by both a sieving effect due to the membrane pore structure and a selective absorption effect due to the imprinted cavities [199, 200]. Therefore, different selective transport mechanisms across MIP membranes could be distinguished according to the porous structure of the polymeric material. Meso- and microporous imprinted membranes facilitate template transport through the membrane, in that preferential absorption of the template promotes its diffusion, whereas macroporous membranes act rather as membrane absorbers, in which selective template binding causes a diffusion delay. As a consequence, the separation performance depends not only on the efficiency of molecular recognition but also on the membrane morphology, especially on the barrier pore size and the thickness of the membrane.

We have synthesized highly selective template-synthesized abiotic nanotube membranes that can be used as model systems for mimicking natural ion and protein channels. These nanotubes have diameters of the same order (1-100 nm) as those found...

Fig. 3. A working example of NdPASA identifying template sequences for the query, cytochrome C from the purple phototropic bacterium, using PSI-BLAST searches. The selected template is 1GQA-D, cytochrome C from Rhodobacter Spheriodes, which shares 44 % sequence identity with the query. The output of the alignment includes secondary structure assignments of the template.

A materials selection template, containing critical design and operating conditions for each piece of equipment and piping run, is used as part of a stractured method to select suitable materials of construction. It is usually prepared by a plant or project process engineer, and is customized for the plant or project (see Figure 21.1 for an example of a simple template). 

This template directed functionalization of double bonds within reach was also used to determine the conformational preferences of some terpene polyenes [62], As in the previously described work with attached benzophenone reagents, the selective template-directed epoxidations revealed the details of chain folding in flexible molecules. 

Secondly, appropriate orthogonal solvents for the selective template dissolution had to be found. Because of the same reason mentioned above, these solvents are not allow to even slightly swell the nanostructured conjugated polymers, otherwise the desired stractural features are inevitable lost. Diethyl ether and xylene were identified as ideal solvents for PEDOT and PPy, respectively. Chlorobenzene was reported to have no effect on the nanostructure of electrodeposited P3MT, but in this study the opposite was found [13]. Instead, pure diethyl ether or a 2 1 mixture of diethyl ether and hexane were used.

Photografting has also been reported as a strategy to prepare membranes for affinity separation [145]. Functionalization of PAN has been reported for the manufacture of molecular imprinted membranes for molecular recognition. The membranes are prepared in the presence of selected templates, which are then removed leading to the formation of complementary imprinted sites [146, 147].

The zeolite synthesis solution provides a multitude of small oligomeric molecules that can display very different interactions with a selected template molecule. A specific complex with template molecule will have unique stability. Because of the equilibria between the oligomeric units, crystallization will consume all molecules from the mother liquid to form this particular complex through the recombination of particular oligomers formed. 

Hence zeolite synthesis shares some of the same combinatorial self organization and self learning aspects as seen in the antibody system. During zeolite crystallization template molecules are incorporated in unique positions. Molecular mechanics techniques have been developed ] that allow the prediction of optimum template zeohte interaction useful to select template molecules to synthesize preselected zeohte structmes. 

The selected templates matching the patient will be used to reason on the mental state of the patient as combination computation values in six Ekman universal emotions "sadness," "happiness," "disgust," "surprise," anger," and "fear." By using the OKI human sensing division [27], we could also extract the emotional feature from the movements of the human face parts.
