Crimes, investigations, questions, surprises and emotions. Let’s dive into this world with Raymond Reddington (James Spader) who will take us on a journey full of mystery and excitement. The Blacklist, is a typical American crime thriller network series of the 21st century, premiered on NBC on September 23 in 2013. In this paper, I will be analyzing the narrative structure of Joen Bokenkamp’s creation, its progression and evolution throughout the first season only. Narrative complexity, dominant types and styles has changed by the time, so this series does not present an exception of its generation. However it offers plenty of interesting points to talk about and a rich structure to analyze.

The Norwegian Margin formed in response to early Cenozoic continental breakup and subsequent opening of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. There is a well-defined margin segmentation and the various segments are characterized by distinct crustal properties, structural and magmatic sryles, and post-opening history of vertical motions. The sedimentary basins at the conjugate continental margins off Norway and Greenland and in the western Barents Sea developed as a result of a series of post-Caledonian rift episodes until early Cenozoic time, when complete continental separation took place.

Uranium exploration and mining in Australia and China are significant and increasingly important sectors of each country’s respective mineral industry. Here we focus on similarities in the geology of paleovalley-related uranium mineralising systems, which can be used to refine strategies for exploration. Paleovalley-related uranium resources are developed as sandstone-hosted and surficial deposits within paleovalley-fills, deposited either on incised crystalline bedrock, or incised sedimentary cover that is often of similar age to the sediments that host the mineralisation. With respect to Sino-Australian examples, paleovalley-related uranium occurs mostly around the margins of Mesozoic and Cenozoic basins; often the mineralisation is hosted within sands contained within paleovalleys developed upon, or proximal to, Precambrian crystalline rock that contains primary uranium mineralisation. Numerous examples are known in Australia and China where granitic rocks of pre-Mesozoic age con...

The Pilbara region of Western Australia is one of only two areas on Earth – the other being the Kaapvaal Craton of southern Africa – that contain well preserved, essentially continuous geological records of crustal evolution from the early Paleoarchean into the late Paleoproterozoic. The Pilbara is famous for providing much of the world’s best preserved fossil evidence on early life (stromatolites and microfossils), and for containing rocks sufficiently unaltered to permit investigations on the composition of the atmosphere from the early Archean. The geological record extends from granite–greenstone terranes and overlying clastic basins of the 3.53–2.83 Ga Pilbara Craton across a major regional unconformity into unconformably overlying 2.78–1.79 Ga volcanic and sedimentary successions. It establishes that between 3.53 and 3.23 Ga, a succession of mantle plume events formed a thick volcanic plateau on older continental crust. The precise nature and origin of that older crust remain ...

The Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the Base of the Serravallian Stage (Middle Miocene) is defined in the Ras il Pellegrin section located in the coastal cliffs along the Fomm Ir-Rih Bay on the west coast of Malta (35°54'50″N, 14°20'10″E). The GSSP is at the base of the Blue Clay Formation (i.e., top of the transitional bed of the uppermost Globigerina Limestone). This boundary between the Langhian and Serravallian stages coincides with the end of the major Mi-3b global cooling step in the oxygen isotopes and reflects a major increase in Antarctic ice volume, marking the end of the Middle Miocene climate transition and the Earth's transformation into an "Icehouse" climate state. The associated major glacio-eustatic sea-level drop corresponds with sequence boundary Ser1 of Hardenbol et al. (1998) and supposedly with the TB2.5 sequence boundary of Haq et al (1987). This event is slightly older than the last common and/or continuous occurrence of th...

The main goal of this paper is to identify the drivers responsible for the high particulate matter concentrations observed in recent years in several urban areas in Poland. The problem was investigated using air quality and meteorological data from routine monitoring network, air mass back trajecto-ries and multivariate statistical modelling. Air pollution in central and southern part of the country was analysed and compared with this in northern-eastern BThe Green Lungs of Poland^ region. The analysis showed that in all investigated locations, there is a clear annual cycle of observed concentrations , closely following temperature-heating cycles, with the highest concentrations noted in January. However, the main drivers differ along the country, being either connected with regional background pollution (in the central part of the country) or with local emission sources (in the southern part). The occurrence of high PM 10 concentrations is most commonly associated with the influence of high-pressure systems that brought extremely cold and stable air masses form East or South of Europe. During analysed episodes, industrial point sources had the biggest (up to 70–80 %) share in PM 10 levels on the days with maximum PM pollution, while remote and residential/traffic sources determined the air quality in the early stages of the episodes. Principal component analysis (PCA) shows that secondary inorganic aerosols account for long-range transported pollution, As, Cd, Pb and Zn for industrial point sources, while Cr and Cu for residential and traffic sources of PM 10 , respectively.

Coastal aquifers have played a major role in modern human occupation and economic development in Iberoamerica. Most of Iberoamerica population inhabits coastal areas, and water needs are frequently fulfilled with groundwater. Possible climate changes and consequent sea level rise will deeply affect coastal aquifers, putting considerable pressure in those water bodies. For the prediction of how these aquifers will behave in face of such challenges, and also to establish preventive measures against undesired effects, adequate knowledge is essential. This paper presents the state of knowledge of a number of Latin American coastal aquifers reasonably representative of the overall situation through a literature review, with compilation and synthesis of data. A synthetic comparative analysis conducted on 33 coastal aquifers in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula is showed, as well as detailed information about three out of those aquifers with relatively more abundant data and of parti...

Wenn man sich Gesellschaft als ein aus verteilten, dezentral operierenden Prozeduren gewobenes, dynamisch sich reproduzierendes Kommunikationsnetzwerk vorstellt, so ist eine soziologische Beobachtung chancenlos, der es nicht gelingt, sich gleichfalls als verteilte, dezentrale Beobachtungsanordnung einzurichten. Damit die Soziologie ihrem Bobachtungsobjekt auf Augenhöhe begegnen kann, muss sie sich selbst als ein gewissermaßen aus heterogenen Horchposten und multiplen Sendestationen bestehendes verteiltes Kommunikationsnetzwerk aufbauen.
