We report a multi-epoch, simultaneous 22 GHz H2O and 44 Class I CH3OH maser line survey toward 180 intermediate-mass young stellar objects, including 14 0 19 147 Herbig Ae/Be stars. detected emission 16 (9%) 10 (6%) sources with one new six sources. The detection rates of both masers rapidly decrease as the central (proto)stars evolve, which is contrary to trends in high-mass star-forming regions. This suggests that excitations two are closely related evolutionary stage circumstellar...
Dysfunctional beliefs about sleep may be associated with chronic disturbance in patients afflicted cancer over the trajectory of their battle cancer. The objective this study was exploration utility assessing disturbances suffered by possibly emanating from two cancer-related informationally valid but nonetheless dysfunctional beliefs: "My immune system will have serious problems if I don't go to at a certain time (question 1)" and "If well night, my can recur or metastasize 2)." scores for...
