    OBJECTIVE: To estimate the frequency and describe the clinical characteristics and respective treatments of previous history of wheezing. METHODS: Infants aged 6-23 months with upper respiratory tract complaints and reporting previous wheezing were followed-up retrospectively. Data were registered on a validated standardized form. RESULTS: Out of 451 infants, 164 (36.4%; 95%CI: 31.9-41.0) had a report of prior history of wheezing, 148 (32.8%; 95%CI: 28.5-37.4) during the first year of life. The mean age at the first episode of wheezing was 5.3±3.9 months. Among those who had had their first episode before 12 months of age, 38.5% reported 3 to 6 episodes and 14.2% > 6 episodes. Mean age at first episode was lower for those with > 3 episodes in comparison with those with seis episódios. A média da idade no primeiro episódio foi menor para os que apresentaram > três episódios em comparação aos que apresentaram até dois episódios (3,2±2,7 versus 5,7±2,5 meses, p < 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Um terço dos lactentes apresentou chiado no primeiro ano de vida. Quanto mais cedo ocorre o primeiro episódio, mais frequente é a recorrência do chiado.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia (FAPESB)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Universidade Federal da Bahia Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências da SaúdeUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Escola Paulista de Medicina Departamento de PediatriaUniversidade de São Paulo Faculdade de Saúde Pública Departamento de EpidemiologiaEscola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde PúblicaUFBAUFBA Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia Departamento de Anatomia Patológica e Medicina LegalUFBA Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia Departamento de PediatriaUNIFESP, EPM, Depto. de PediatriaSciEL

    Computing on large-scale distributed systems: XtremWeb architecture, programming models, security, tests and convergence with grid

    Global Computing systems belong to the class of large-scale distributed systems. Their properties high computational, storage and communication performance potentials, high resilience make them attractive in academia and industry as computing infrastructures in complement to more classical infrastructures such as clusters or supercomputers. However, generalizing the use of these systems in a multi-user and multi-parallel programming context involves finding solutions and providing mechanisms for many issues such as programming bag of tasks and message passing parallel applications, securing the application, the system itself and the computing nodes, deploying the systems for harnessing resources managed in different ways. In this paper, we present our research, often influenced by user demands, towards a Computational peer-to-peer system called XtremWeb.We describe (a) the architecture of the system and its motivations, (b) the parallel programming paradigms available in XtremWeb and how they are implemented, (c) the deployment issues and what mechanisms are used to harness simultaneously uncoordinated set of resources, and resources managed by batch schedulers and (d) the security issue and how we address, inside XtremWeb, the protection of the computing resources. We present two multi-parametric applications to be used in production: Aires belonging to the high energy physics (HEP) Auger project and a protein conformation predictor using a molecular dynamic simulator. To evaluate the performance and volatility tolerance, we present experiment results for bag of tasks applications and message passing applications. We show that the system can tolerate massive failure and we discuss the performance of the node protection mechanism. Based on the XtremWeb project developments and evolutions, we will discuss the convergence between Global Computing systems and Grid
