This book analyses the arrival of emerging and traditional
information and technology for public and economic use in Latin
America. It focuses on the governmental, economic and security
issues and the study of the complex relationship between citizens
and government. The book is divided into three parts: * 'Digital
data and privacy, prospects and barriers' centers on the debates
among the right of privacy and the loss of intimacy in the
Internet, * 'Homeland security and human rights' focuses on how
novel technologies such as drones and autonomous weapons systems
reconfigure the strategies of police authorities and organized
crime, * 'Labor Markets, digital media and emerging technologies'
emphasize the legal, economic and social perils and challenges
caused by the increased presence of social media, blockchain-based
applications, artificial intelligence and automation technologies
in the Latin American economy. This first volume in a two volume
set will be important reading for scholars and students of
governance in Latin American, the protection of human rights and
the use of technology to combat crime and the new advances of
digital economy in the region.
This volume focuses on the hyper-mediatization of Latin America
from the citizen's perspective, considering the social impact and
how people embrace information technologies to improve their living
conditions, engage in political issues and the role of digital
journalism in promoting democratic values in Latin America. The
book is divided into three parts: 'Digital Media and Daily Life in
Latin America' explores cases related to the integration of digital
media such as mobile devices, social platforms and, even, drones to
diverse commercial, private and social activities. 'Information
technologies and civic engagement' gives special attention to the
new political practices triggered by the irruption of smartphones
and platforms, especially inside organizations and social movements
in Latin America. 'Journalism and Media Integrity in the Age of
Post-truth' centers on the study of digital journalism and the new
media landscape, and related issues like precarization of labor
conditions and the crisis of reliability in media. This second
volume in a two volume set will be important reading for scholars
and students of social use of digital media in Latin America, civic
engagement, and the connections between politics, journalism and
technology.

Environmental sustainability issues in a fragile, semi-arid region
and its coastal area, which experience climate changes from extreme
drought conditions to the effects of hurricanes over a period of
weeks to years, provide specific challenges for the ecosystems and
the populations existing within the region. The research presented
focuses on the problems and some solutions specific to the South
Texas-Mexico border region, on both sides of the Rio Grande,
focusing on water and air pollution.

This book organizes principles and methods of signal processing and
machine learning into the framework of coherence. The book contains
a wealth of classical and modern methods of inference, some
reported here for the first time. General results are applied to
problems in communications, cognitive radio, passive and active
radar and sonar, multi-sensor array processing, spectrum analysis,
hyperspectral imaging, subspace clustering, and related. The reader
will find new results for model fitting; for dimension reduction in
models and ambient spaces; for detection, estimation, and
space-time series analysis; for subspace averaging; and for
uncertainty quantification. Throughout, the transformation
invariances of statistics are clarified, geometries are
illuminated, and null distributions are given where tractable.
Stochastic representations are emphasized, as these are central to
Monte Carlo simulations. The appendices contain a comprehensive
account of matrix theory, the SVD, the multivariate normal
distribution, and many of the important distributions for coherence
statistics. The book begins with a review of classical results in
the physical and engineering sciences where coherence plays a
fundamental role. Then least squares theory and the theory of
minimum mean-squared error estimation are developed, with special
attention paid to statistics that may be interpreted as coherence
statistics. A chapter on classical hypothesis tests for covariance
structure introduces the next three chapters on matched and
adaptive subspace detectors. These detectors are derived from
likelihood reasoning, but it is their geometries and invariances
that qualify them as coherence statistics. A chapter on
independence testing in space-time data sets leads to a definition
of broadband coherence, and contains novel applications to
cognitive radio and the analysis of cyclostationarity. The chapter
on subspace averaging reviews basic results and derives an
order-fitting rule for determining the dimension of an average
subspace. These results are used to enumerate sources of acoustic
and electromagnetic radiation and to cluster subspaces into
similarity classes. The chapter on performance bounds and
uncertainty quantification emphasizes the geometry of the
Cramer-Rao bound and its related information geometry.
