Start by getting the Application pool into a PowerShell variable like this:

$ap = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool | ? {$_.Name -eq "SharePoint web Services"}

Then you can use that variable in the -ApplicationPool parameter like this:

New-SPProfileServiceApplication -Name SharedServices1 –ApplicationPool $ap –ProfileDBName Sharepointservices1_db
