Sommario/riassunto

This volume covers visual regenerative biology from current knowledge



through future directions and implications. Fifteen chapters discuss the topic thoroughly, from fundamental aspects of developmental biology of the eye through the potential of stem cells and bionic eyes to improve and restore vision. The book also explores the impact of stem cell treatments and regenerative medicine in society. The economic and public health burdens of blindness are immense, in addition to the psychological and social implications for patients. While current treatments for blindness are limited, regenerative medicine offers exciting prospects for vision improvement or restoration, instilling hope in patients suffering from vision loss. Authoritative and timely, this book is a key resource for scientists working in this expanding and dynamic field.

Sommario/riassunto

SAC 2001, the eighth annual workshop on selected areas in cryptography, was held at the Fields Institute in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Previous SAC wo- shops were held at Queen's University in Kingston (1994, 1996, 1998, and 1999), at Carlton University in Ottawa (1995 and 1997) and at the University of Wat- loo (2000). The conference was sponsored by the center for applied cryptographic research (CACR) at the University of Waterloo, Certicom Corporation, C- munications and Information Technology Ontario (CITO), Ecole Polytechnique F´ed´erale de Lausanne, Entrust Technologies, and ZeroKnowledge. We are gra- ful to these organizations for their support of the conference. The current SAC board includes Carlisle Adams, Doug Stinson, Ed Dawson, Henk Meijer, Howard Heys, Michael Wiener, Serge Vaudenay, Sta'ord Tavares, and Tom Cusick. We would like to thank all of them for giving us the mandate to organize SAC 2001. The themes for SAC 2001 workshop were: - Design and analysis of symmetric key cryptosystems. - Primitives for private key cryptography, including block and stream ciphers, hash functions, and MACs. - E'cient implementations of cryptographic systems in public and private key cryptography. - Cryptographic solutions for web and internet security.
