This book presents methods for identifying creative features in empirical data; studies showing biotic patterns in physical, biological, and economic processes; mathematical models of bipolar (positive and negative) feedback that generate biotic patterns. These studies support the hypothesis that natural processes are creative (not determined) and causal (not random) and that bipolar feedback plays a major role in their evolution 410 0$aK & E series on knots and everything ;$vv. 35. 606 $aCreation$xMathematical models 606 $aKnot theory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCreation$xMathematical models. 615 0$aKnot theory. 676 $a514.2242 700 $aSabelli$b Hector C.$f1937-$0911543 701 $aKauffman$b Louis H.$f1945-$057757 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451289903321 996 $aBios$92041264 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02049nam 2200385 450 001 9910571734803321 005 20230517064828.0 035 $a(CKB)5860000000047385 035 $a(NjHacI)995860000000047385 035 $a(EXLCZ)995860000000047385 100 $a20230517d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSaving a World Treasure $eProtecting Florence from Flooding /$fGerald Edward Galloway Jr, [and five others] 210 1$aFlorence, Italy :$cFirenze University Press,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (156 pages) 311 $a88-927-3153-X 330 $aThe Committee Firenze 2016, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the tragic 1966 flood, invited six engineers and scientists to form an International Technical Scientific Committee (ITSC) to assess the current status of flood protection for the city of Florence and identify steps to reduce the risk of flooding facing the city. In this final Report, ITSC concludes that Florence remains at risk to significant flooding and this risk grows each day. It is not a question of whether a flood of the magnitude of 1966 or greater will occur, but when. In fact, the level of protection that exists in Florence now is not on a level appropriate to the citizens and treasures that rest within the city. If, under current conditions, a 1966-like flood occurred, the consequences to human lives, treasures, properties and community infrastructure could be much more catastrophic than they were in 1966. 517 $aSaving a World Treasure 606 $aFlood control 606 $aFlood damage prevention 607 $aItaly$zFlorence 615 0$aFlood control. 615 0$aFlood damage prevention. 676 $a307.09 700 $aGalloway$b Gerald Edward$cJr.,$01357654 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571734803321 996 $aSaving a World Treasure$93364129 997 $aUNINA
