Engineers globally sophisticated

A second, even more speculative point is that the mathematical framework of nonlinear dynamics may provide a basis to begin to bridge the gap between local microstructural features of a fluid flow or transport system and its overall meso- or macroscale behavior. On the one hand, a major failure of researchers and educators alike has been the inability to translate increasingly sophisticated fundamental studies to the larger-scale transport systems of traditional interest to chemical engineers. On the other hand, a basic result from theoretical studies of nonlinear dynamical systems is that there is often an intimate relationship between local solution structure and global behavior. Unfortunately, I am presently unable to improve upon the necessarily vague notion of a connection between these two apparently disparate statements. 

The recent advances in computer and engineering techniques open the way for the idea of the global computerised heart. Such a feasible engineering medical model of the heart will help towards a better understanding of the phenomena which are directly related to the interrelationship between the complex processes within the heart. The bedside physician will never be replaced by such sophisticated tools which will enable him to interrelate different clinical measurements. But, of course, in the right hands and given the right interpretation, these will introduce a quantitative aspect to the qualitative impression of the physician. 

Nowadays, modern engineering products have become very complex and sophisticated. Their safety has become a challenging issue to engineers. Because of global competition and other factors, they are pressured to... 

Today, the (re)insurance industry is a sophisticated amalgam of specialties and entities connected through a variety of global links. To understand how this risk management engine works, it is useful to consider a simplified view of the transactional relationships that exist in the (re)insurance market (Fig. 1).
