Sommario/riassunto

Over the years, the United States has been concerned about threats to Latin American and Caribbean nations from various terrorist or insurgent groups that have attempted to influence or overthrow elected governments. Although Latin America has not been the focal point in the war on terrorism, countries in the region have struggled with domestic terrorism for decades and international terrorist groups have at times used the region as a battleground to advance their causes. This book examines Latin America as a national security threat with a focus on Iran's increasing activities with Venezuela; drug-trafficking related violence in Mexico and Columbia; and Cuba's lack of cooperation in antiterrorism efforts.

Sommario/riassunto

This book coherently presents the advances in technological principles,



processes, and methods of Additive Manufacturing (AM), Augmented reality (AR), and Internet of things (IoT) in biomedical technology. It offers an overview of these high-impact technologies in terms of materials, processes, and in-situ monitoring of fabricating biomedical devices, implants, and prosthetics. Furthermore, the book also aimed to cover pedagogical applications, including the design and development of high-fidelity anatomical and hybrid physiological human models, for medical and design students and clinicians for learning, understanding, and gaining insights into the structures and functions of human organs and pathology. In turn, the book also discusses the applications of artificial intelligence in the 3-D printing of pharmaceuticals. This book is a useful resource for manufacturers, scientists, engineers, and young research scholars understand disruptive technology's real potential in biomedical applications.
