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.

La aristocracia urbana de Madrid: el linaje Las Risas (1445-1507)

El investigador que se interesa por el estudio del siglo XV en el reino de Castilla tiene, a menudo, la ocasión de comprobar el creciente papel que, desde la primera mitad del siglo XV, asume la villa de Madrid. Situada en el centro de la Península y bien relacionada, por su proximidad, con otras ciudades castellanas de superior importancia, como Toledo, Segovia o Ávila, Madrid aparece cada vez mejor documentada bastante tiempo antes de que Felipe II la eligiera para desempeñar el papel de capital de sus reinos. Todo ello fue, en parte, la consecuencia de haberse instalado en Madrid miembros de la nobleza de corte interesados en residir cerca del poder, conscientes de que la villa era un lugar apropiado para satisfacer sus aspiraciones. Este trabajo está centrado en el estudio de la familia Risas; asentados en Madrid al menos desde la época de Juan II. Esta familia constituye uno más de los linajes madrileños a los que su autor ha dedicado su atención en trabajos ya publicados con anterioridad. El estudio aporta datos desconocidos sobre esa familia y su entorno e incluye un apéndice de documentos.
