DUBAI, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- While many fairs in crisis-ridden Middle East struggle to attract sponsors and exhibitors, the Gulf Information and Technology Exhibition, or GITEX, which opened Sunday, has a different challenge: a lack of space due to the huge number of participants and professional visitors.The largest information and communication technology (ICT) trade fair in the Middle East occupied the entire 14 halls of the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre in the heart of the sheikhdom. Some 3,500 exhibitors from 57 countries and regions display the latest cry of modern PC office and mobile technology, hard- and software and all kinds of related accessories. Over 130,000 visitors are expected to visit the ICT congress.Kazakhstan, Latvia, Malta, and Morocco participate for the first time. Besides, well-known giant brands such as Huawei, Intel, Microsoft or Blackberry, hundreds of small and medium enterprises participate this year."We are exhibiting for the second time here. It is worth coming, " said Dr. Andrej Vckovski, CEO of Swiss enterprise software producer netcetera from Zurich. "We already won a contract from the Health Authority in Abu Dhabi and we plan to expand to Qatar."The annual ICT spending in the Gulf Arab region alone is expected to grow by 15 percent and to reach 180 billion U.S. dollars in 2014.While e-users still have to wait for Windows 8 from Microsoft, Huawei Technologies demonstrates its latest Cloud Computing solutions. Cloud Computing describes the process where many firms share the same server simply through software, instead of running expensive independent servers at their premises.The fair has also a lot of firsts on its agenda. Nokia launches the N9 mobile phone in the region for the first time. Research in Motion or RIM from Canada shows its new Bold 9900 Blackberry smart phone. Panasonic showcases its planned solar-energy run community for 3,000 citizens in Fujisawa near Tokyo."We plan to finish construction and launch this full-fledged Green Community in 2018, when Panasonic will celebrate its 100 years anniversary," said Muneo Yamamoto, Technical Manager Systems Solutions at Panasonic.Symantec launches Endpoint Protection 12, Cloud Security software. "Security is currently the top priority for organizations across the Middle East," explained Bulent Teksoz, Chief Security Strategist for Emerging Markets at Symantec.According to the NASDAQ-listed software provider, 76 percent of United Arab Emirates residents have fallen victim to Cyber Crime in 2010, and Saudi Arabia remains the most spammed country in the world, with a spam rate of 84 percent, albeit global spam is decreasing.A parallel Gitex conference hosts leading experts from the ICT industry for presentations and discussions around the latest trends and challenges. For retail consumers, the Gitex Shopper Fair at the Dubai Airport Expo offers everything from laser printers to iPads, from Smart Phones to CD. Due to the discount sellers offer at the Gitex Shopper, the consumer fair is a popular hub for bargain hunters.

JERUSALEM, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Israeli researchers at Tel Aviv University developed a computer chip that could recuperate loss body movement if placed in the cerebellum, opening the doors to treatment of brain damage, researchers told Xinhua on Tuesday.The computer chip, wired to a man-made segment of a cerebellum, was attached to a rodent's skull that had lost the ability to blink. After the artificial cerebellum was implanted, the rodent was once again able to blink.The chip, connected to the rat's brain, works by reading sensory information from the body and then communicating it to the cerebellum, the area of the brain that allows movement coordination, through electrodes."The chip itself imitates a small part of the cerebellum, a very tiny part of it," said Prof. Matti Mintz of TAU's Department of Psychology."We took a small part of the cerebellum and studied it and created the computer chip that mimics the damaged area," he said.However, more complicated movements, like walking, are still at least one decade away, Mintz added."We still did not test it on humans because we need to know the area the chip will mimic before installing it, which requires extensive research. But we are now developing a chip that will do a sequence of simple movements," he pointed out.When fully developed for humans, it can be used to help patients who suffer brain genetic diseases like Parkinson, or had strokes that caused brain damage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- A recent study found that low vitamin D levels are significantly more prevalent in obese children and are associated with risk factors for type 2 diabetes. This study was accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.High rates of vitamin D deficiency have been found in obese populations and past studies have linked low vitamin D levels to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. But the mechanisms by which obesity and its comorbidities are related to vitamin D deficiency are not fully known.This new study examined associations between vitamin D levels and dietary habits in obese children, and tested whether there were correlations between vitamin D levels and markers of abnormal glucose metabolism and blood pressure.In this study, researchers measured vitamin D levels, blood sugar levels, serum insulin, body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure in 411 obese subjects and 87 control non-overweight subjects. Study participants were also asked to provide dietary information including daily intake of soda, juice and milk, average daily fruit and vegetable intake, and whether or not they routinely skipped breakfast. BMI is a measurement of body fat calculated from weight and height."Our study found that obese children with lower vitamin D levels had higher degrees of insulin resistance," said Micah Olson, of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and lead author of the study. "Although our study cannot prove causation, it does suggest that low vitamin D levels may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes.""Poor dietary habits such as skipping breakfast and increased soda and juice intake were associated with the lower vitamin D levels seen in obese children," said Olson. "Future studies are needed to determine the clinical significance of lower vitamin D levels in obese children ... and whether treatment with vitamin D can improve primary clinical endpoints such as insulin resistance. "
