Discarge compilation from The Global River Discharge (RivDIS) Project

The Global River Discharge (RivDIS) data set contains monthly discharge measurements for 1018 stations located throughout the world. The period of record varies widely from station to station, with a mean of 21.5 years. These data were digitized from published UNESCO archives by Charles Voromarty, Balaze Fekete, and B.A. Tucker of the Complex Systems Research Center (CSRC) at the University of New Hampshire. River discharge is typically measured through the use of a rating curve that relates local water level height to discharge. This rating curve is used to estimate discharge from the observed water level. The rating curves are periodically rechecked and recalibrated through on-site measurement of discharge and river stage.

From school to work : Muslim youths' education and employment strategies in a community in Uttar Pradesh, India

India's Muslim community, which accounts for 14.4 percent of India’s vast population and is thus the largest of all religious minorities, has been the subject of considerable development discourse as Muslims have the lowest level of educational attainment and standard of living among socio-religious groups in the country. This study addresses the meaning of education and career opportunities for Muslim youths in relation to their educational credentials and social position in the hierarchy of Muslim class and caste groups, with particular reference to a community in Uttar Pradesh. The author contends that the career opportunities, possibilities, and strategies of Muslim youths in Indian society depend on multiple factors: social hierarchy, opportunities to utilize economic resources, social networks, cultural capital, and the wider structural disparities within which the Muslims are situated and wherein they question the value of higher education in gaining them admission to socially recognized and established employment sectors.

La explotación de las esmeraldas de Muzo (Nueva Granada), en sus primeros tiempos

Las primeras esmeraldas colombianas fueron descubiertas, el año de 1514, en Santa Marta, Costa Norte, por el Capitán General Pedro Arias de Ávila. Durante la conquista se requisaron muchas a los indios y también se recogieron en placeres, lo que ponía en evidencia la riqueza de este país. En 1535, el naturalista Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo (1478-1557) nos señala en la Historia Natural y General de Indias (1535) que desde Tierra Firme 'se han llevado muchas (esmeraldas) en cantidad de diversas estimaciones, é precio', oferta tal que llevó a la caída de precios en Europa.
