The interval discrete logarithm problem is defined as follows: Given some g, h in a group G, and some N ∈ N such that gz = h for some z where 0 ≤ z < N , find z. At the moment, kangaroo methods are the best low memory algorithm to solve the interval discrete logarithm problem. The fastest non parallelised kangaroo methods to solve this problem are the three kangaroo method, and the four kangaro...

AIM This study assessed the feasibility and obtrusiveness of measuring salivary oxytocin in preterm infants receiving Kangaroo care, because this is a period of maximal bonding or co-regulation. We also analysed possible influential determinants, including maternal oxytocin. METHODS The saliva of preterm infants and their mothers was collected prior to, and during, Kangaroo care using cotton ...

is article in press as: F infants in an Irish neon Abstract Aim: To investigate Irish neonatal nurses’ knowledge and beliefs of Kangaroo care. Background: Although kangaroo care existed in other countries for 25 years, it is a new occurrence in Irish neonatal care. A review of the literature suggests that, while it demonstrates benefits for both infants and parents, some neonatal nurses do not ...

It has been 35 years since Edgar Rey Sanabria responded to the high rate of morbidity and mortality among low-birth-weight (LBW)/preterm newborns in Bogotá, Colombia, with guidelines that have become known as kangaroo mother care.1−4 To address a shortage of incubators and medical personnel, Dr. Sanabria, in a classic case of reverse engineering, analyzed what standard incubator care provided f...

In this paper, we introduce Kangaroo, a constraint-based local search system. While existing systems such as Comet maintain invariants after every move, Kangaroo adopts a lazy strategy, updating invariants only when they are needed. Our empirical evaluation shows that Kangaroo consistently has a smaller memory footprint than Comet, and is usually significantly faster.

introduction:  premature neonates admitted in nicu besides being separated from their mothers are prone to inevitably painful and stressful situations. kangaroo care is the most effective method to get rid of this separation and its negative consequences. this study was performed to determine the experiences of mothers having premature neonates concerning kangaroo care.   material and methods: ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the electromyographic activity of preterm newborns placed in the kangaroo position with the activity of newborns not placed in this position. DESIGN A cohort study. SETTING A Kangaroo Unit sector and a Nursery sector in a secondary and tertiary care at a mother-child hospital in Recife, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS Preterm infants of gestational age 27-34 weeks (n=38) and ter...

OBJECTIVE To investigate factors influencing the adoption of kangaroo mother care in different contexts. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and the World Health Organization's regional databases, for studies on "kangaroo mother care" or "kangaroo care" or "skin-to-skin care" from 1 January 1960 to 19 August 2015, without language restrictions. We included programmatic ...
