The paper presents the stratigraphy of Paleogene strata from the central part of carbonate Dinarides. The carbonate and the clastic rock units were stu died. Their contact with underlying Senonian limes tone is marked by unconformity as a result of Laramian tectonic phase. The unconformity is denoted by the abundance of bauxite deposits. The abundance of calcareous nanoplancton species as well as ben tic foraminifera points at the sedimentation of Paleogene strata during the Eocene period. The succession of sediments with easily recognizeable transgressive, inundation and regres sive features has been established. Lithostratigraphical characteristics enabled the distinguishing of larger lithofacies groups. The simultaneousness of carbonate rocks with lower part of clastic succession as well as the transitionallitho· facies have been approved. The simultaneous overburden of bauxite deposits regardless of its lithology (carbonate of clastic) speaks in favour of the unite bauxitebearing phase.

In this paper we investigate gradings on tame blocks of group algebras whose defect group is dihedral. We classify gradings on an arbitrary dihedral block up to graded Morita equivalence. We do this by computing the group of outer automorphisms that fix the isomorphism classes of simple modules. We also show how to grade these blocks via transfer of gradings via dervied equivalences.

We study the chemisorption of CO molecule into sites of different coordination on (111) surfaces of late $4d$ and $5d$ transition metals. In an attempt to solve the well-known CO adsorption puzzle, i.e., discrepancies of adsorption site preferences with experiment which appear in the standard density functional theory calculations, we have applied the relatively new van der Waals-density functional of nonlocal correlation. In all considered cases this reduces or completely solves the site preference discrepancies and improves the value of the adsorption energy. By introducing a cutoff distance for nonlocal interaction we can pinpoint the length scale at which the correlation plays a major role in the systems considered.
