TY - JOUR A1 - Schneider, J. A1 - Fernandez, V. A1 - Hernandez-Garcia, E. T1 - Leaking method approach to surface transport in the Mediterranean Sea from a numerical ocean model N2 - We use Lagrangian diagnostics (the leaking and the exchange methods) to characterize surface transport out of and between selected regions in the Western Mediterranean. Velocity fields are obtained from a numerical model. Residence times of water of Atlantic origin in the Algerian subbasin, with a strong seasonal dependence, are calculated. Exchange rates between these waters and the ones occupying the northern basin are also evaluated. At surface, northward transport is dominant, and involves filamental features and eddy structures that can be identified with the Algerian eddies. The impact on these results of the presence of small scale turbulent motions is evaluated by adding Lagrangian diffusion. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

A1 - Tel, Tomas T1 - Opening up fractal structures of three-dimensional flows via leaking N2 - We study the behavior of time-periodic three-dimensional incompressible flows modelled by three-dimensional volume-preserving maps in the presence of a leakage. The distribution of residence times, and the chaotic saddle together with its stable and unstable invariant manifolds are described and characterized. They shed light. on typical filamentation of chaotic flows whose local stable and unstable manifolds are always of different, character (plane or line). We point out that leaking is a useful method which sheds light on typical filamentation of chaotic flows. In particular; the topology depends on the number of local expanding directions, and is the same in the leaked system as in the closed flow Y1 - 2004 SN - 0295-5075 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Laschewsky, André A1 - Ringsdorf, H. A1 - Schneider, J. T1 - Oriented supramolecular systems-polymeric monolayers and multilayers from prepolymerized amphiphiles N2 - Oriented polymeric membranes were originally prepared by polymerization or polycondensation of preoriented monomers. The introduction of hydrophilic spacer groups into the polymeric amphiphiles allowed the formation of highly ordered systems (monolayers, liposomes, multilayers) from prepolymerized amphiphiles: due to the partial decoupling of the different mobilities and orientation tendencies of the polymer chain and the amphiphilic side groups, these polymers are able to self-organize. In monolayer experiments the high order of these membranes could be demonstrated by their surface pressure area-diagrams. In addition the combination of order and mobility of these spacer groups containing polymeric amphiphiles allowed the formation of Langmuir-Blodgett-multilyers with a high layer correlation. Thus, disturbancies in highly oriented layers can be avoided normally taking place during the polymerization reaction (e.g. contractions) or oriented monomeric layers.

T1 - Self-organization of polymeric lipids with hydrophilic spacers in side groups and main chain : investigation in monolayers and multilayers N2 - Several polymerizable lipids were synthesized and polymerized to amphiphilic homopolymers and to copolymers with the help of hydrophilic comonomers. The self-organization of these polymeric lipids was investigated in monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers. The self-organization of these polymers in model membranes is due to hydrophilic spacer groups in the amphiphilic side groups as well as to hydrophilic spacer groups in the polymer backbone. Thus, highly ordered monolayers and LB-multilayers are easily obtained.

T1 - Thermal behaviour of polymeric Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers N2 - Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon polymers with hydrophilic spacer, lipid-polyelectrolyte complexes and mesogenic polymers have been prepared. The thermal behaviour of the multilayers was studied by small angle X-ray scattering, IR and UV—visible spectroscopy. Good thermal stabilities were found for the various classes of polymers. In addition, for both complexed multilayers and mesogenic polymer films, reorientation processes were observed.
