description: The effluent of the lead-acid battery recycling unit contains a significant amount of Pb(II). Small scale battery recyclers are discharges this effluent without treatment, which is harmful to the environment. This effluent was treated by adsorption as an alternative technique to remove Pb(II) using granular activated carbon (GAC) and steam activated granular activated carbon (SGAC). Both adsorbents were characterised by using BET, SEM, FTIR and XRD techniques. Batch adsorption studies were performed to understand the effect of parameters like pH, contact time and adsorbent dose on percent removal of Pb(II) from effluent. The best result was observed at pH 4.5, time 60 min and an adsorbent dose of 2 g/L for SGAC with over 95% removal of Pb(II). Isotherm studies were carried out by testing the experimental data using Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Temkin isotherm models. Pseudo first and second order, intra-particle diffusion and Elovich kinetic models were used to understand the mechanism of adsorption. A Regeneration study was also performed to reuse the SGAC for Pb(II) adsorption.
title: An empirical analysis of short-run and long-run Irish export functions : does exchange rate volatility matter?

description: We analyse the long-run and short-run relationship between merchandise export volume and its determinants, foreign income, relative prices and exchange rate variability, using the techniques of cointegration and error correction. The model was estimated for Irish exports and sectoral exports SITC 0-4 and SITC 5-8 to the European Union using quarterly data for the period 1979-1992. The sectoral classification corresponds to the exports of mainly indigenous Irish firms and multinationals, respectively. We find that exchange rate volatility has a negative effect on the exports of the multinational sector but no effect on the exports of the indigenous sector in the short run. In contrast, exchange rate volatility has no effect on the exports of the multinational sector but a positive effect on the exports of the indigenous sector and overall exports in the long run. This last result implies that Ireland's participation in the single European currency might have a negative impact on exports of indigenous firms and, as a consequence, overall exports.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the competitive adsorption of a quaternary system of Pb(II), Cu(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous media using biochar from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fibers. The focus of the study was the kinetic and equilibrium investigations. Hybrid biochar produced from the biomass with LDPE was also considered. The adsorbents were characterised by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Branueur-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis. The BET specific surface area of the biomass and hybrid biochar was 352.5 and 392.5 m2/g and the pore volume was 0.2166 and 0.2201 m3/g respectively. FTIR revealed the presence of functional groups that play important roles in the electrophilic interactions of the biochar with heavy metal species. The Elovich isotherm was the best fit for the experimental data. The pseudo-second order kinetic model was also observed to be the best fit kinetic model for experimental data. From the experiments the capacity of Pb(II), Cu(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II) removed at equilibrium was 16.67, 16.59, 16.65 and 16.54 mg/g respectively for biomass biochar and 16.66 mg/g, 16.57 mg/g, 16.65 mg/g and 16.54 mg/g respectively for hybrid biochar.

description: We study theoretically the low-temperature phases of a two-component atomic Fermi gas with attractive s-wave interactions under conditions of rapid rotation. We find that, in the extreme quantum limit, when all particles occupy the lowest Landau level, the normal state is unstable to the formation of "charge" density wave (CDW) order. At lower rotation rates, when many Landau levels are occupied, we show that the low-temperature phases can be supersolids, involving both CDW and superconducting order.

description: This paper develops and uses the Model of Emerging and Constructed Opportunities (MECO) to analyze the emergence of systematic institutional and gender-based differential advantage. Using an evolutionary process with reference group effects, certain household power relations that are "less fit" are abandoned in favor of household power relations that are "more fit." The model illustrates processes whereby institutional and gender-based differential advantage could emerge: (1) through stochastic processes if different genders experience asymmetric shocks affecting their economic opportunity; (2) as the result of gender-based differences in investment bias; or (3) as the result of gender-based differences in responses to servility. The evolutionary process in the MECO is one where agents within households see themselves as servile if they have less ability to influence the allocation of resources in their household than their peers. When agents deem themselves as servile they shirk and household production is diminished. As such, there are costs and benefits to having power in the household. Both agents in the household may be made better off by abandoning one household power relation in favor of another. In particular, the MECO contributes to the literature by analyzing the emergence of (1) gender-based differences in "exit options" and (2) gender-based differences in terms of ability to influence intra-household allocations.

description: Symmetry breaking at surfaces and interfaces and the capability to support large strain gradients in nanoscale systems enable new forms of electromechanical coupling. Here we introduce the concept of quantum flexoelectricity, a phenomenon that is manifested when the mechanical deformation of non-polar quantum systems results in the emergence of net dipole moments and hence linear electromechanical coupling proportional to local curvature. The concept is illustrated in carbon systems, including polyacetylene and nano graphitic ribbons. Using density functional theory calculations for systems made of up to 400 atoms, we determine the flexoelectric coefficients to be of the order of ~ 0.1 e, in agreement with the prediction of linear theory. The implications of quantum flexoelectricity on electromechanical device applications, and physics of carbon based materials are discussed.

description: Dans ce travail, le facteur de la motivation dans l’enseignement de l’allemand comme langue étrangère en lien avec des textes littéraires selon la perspective actionnelle (PA) a été questionné. L’objectif a été de démontrer que la perspective actionnelle, notamment dans sa version « forte » (selon Puren 2012), peut être bénéfique pour l’enseignement de la littérature dans une classe d’allemand langue étrangère, tout en étant motivante pour les élèves. Le travail est divisé en deux parties. D’abord, un cadre théorique autour de la perspective actionnelle et la question de la motivation dans l’enseignement d’une langue étrangère est donné. Dans une seconde partie, l’étude de cas et ses résultats sont présentés et interprétés. Avec l’aide de deux questionnaires qualitatifs qui ont été distribués aux élèves avant et après avoir parcouru un programme de PA faible et forte - en lien avec l’oeuvre Woyzeck (1837) de Georg Büchner - ce travail montre que les aspects suivants, en lien avec une activité sur un texte littéraire dans le cadre de l’apprentissage L2, sont motivants pour les élèves : la forme sociale interactive, la place donnée à la créativité et à l’imagination, l’implication des élèves (pouvoir choisir, négocier et décider) et également la compréhension du texte.

description: This dissertation presents several new methods of supervised and unsupervised learning of word sense disambiguation models. The supervised methods focus on performing model searches through a space of probabilistic models, and the unsupervised methods rely on the use of Gibbs Sampling and the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. In both the supervised and unsupervised case, the Naive Bayesian model is found to perform well. An explanation for this success is presented in terms of learning rates and bias-variance decompositions.

description: We measured the optical properties of mixed valent vanadium oxide nanoscrolls and their metal exchanged derivatives in order to investigate the charge dynamics in these compounds. In contrast to the prediction of a metallic state for the metal exchanged derivatives within a rigid band model, we find that the injected charges in Mn$^{2+}$ exchanged vanadium oxide nanoscrolls are pinned. A low-energy electronic excitation associated with the pinned carriers appears in the far infrared and persists at low temperature, suggesting that the nanoscrolls are weak metals in their bulk form, dominated by inhomogeneous charge disproportionation and Madelung energy effects.

description: The time-dependent non-crossing approximation is used to study the transient current in a single electron transistor attached asymmetrically to two leads following a sudden change in the energy of the dot level. We show that for asymmetric coupling, sharp features in the density of states of the leads can induce oscillations in the current through the dot. These oscillations persist to much longer timescales than the timescale for charge fluctuations. The amplitude of the oscillations increases as the temperature or source-drain bias across the dot is reduced and saturates for values below the Kondo temperature. We discuss the microscopic origin of these oscillations and comment on the possibility for their experimental detection.

As oliveiras, isoladas ou em olivais, podem ser encontradas em todas as regiões do país com clima mediterrâneo ameno. A oliveira é considerada uma das árvores cultivadas menos exigentes em termos de nutrientes do solo. Por esta razão, é plantada em áreas pobres e pedregosas com solos derivados principalmente de rochas calcárias. Nos sistemas tradicionais, praticamente todas as oliveiras derivam de zambujeiros que foram enxertados. Os principais produtos da oliveira são as azeitonas e o azeite, enquanto os produtos secundários incluem forragem para o gado e lenha.

description: In Ireland increased public access for recreation presents challenges to policy makers concerned with tourism and rural development. Recreation activities such as mountaineering, walking and cycling can contribute to the regeneration of marginalised rural areas and enhance residents' quality of life. However, de facto access to common and private farm land also generates conflicts between recreationists, landowners and government authorities. Using common pool resource theory we describe the formation and development of two partnerships in the mountains of Mourne (Northern Ireland) and the Wicklow uplands (Republic of Ireland). Our findings indicate that partnerships can reduce recreational conflicts involving complex property rights and diverse stakeholders by re-positioning incentives yet avoid changes in land ownership and property rights. Community based contracts and access agreements between the state, partnerships and landowners has lead to the adoption of new rules by walking associations, regulation enforcement and public-private investment in trail development.

description: We study the dynamics of the electrons in a non-uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to a graphene sheet in the low energy limit when the excitation states can be described by a Dirac type Hamiltonian. We show that as compared to the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) snake states in graphene exibit peculiar properties related to the underlying dynamics of the Dirac fermions. The current carried by snake states is locally uncompensated even if the Fermi energy lies between the first non-zero energy Landau levels of the conduction and valence bands. The nature of these states is studied by calculating the current density distribution. It is shown that besides the snake states in finite samples surface states also exist.

The change : woman's construction of the meaning of menopause : a group process
Creators: name: Page, Lafern
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Despite the universality, inevitability and normalcy of menopause, little is known of women's experiences. In particular, little or nothing is known of the meaning women attach to menopause. Despite (or because of) this lack of information, a controversy currently exists as to how women can best negotiate menopause, and as to the risks or benefits of hormone replacement theory. Research methodology was guided by recent studies on women's unique ways of knowing, valuing and construction of meaning. Menopause was explored within the framework of a group format with five postmenopausal coresearchers over a nine-week period. The women narrated their stories, listened to the stories of the other group members, reflected on their experiences and discussed those they had in common. Individual follow-up interviews were conducted 3 months later during which the coresearchers validated the transcript and offered additional perspectives. Despite widely varying experiences of menopause, 20 common threads were located. This study details a strong developmental and transitional component to the coresearchers' menopausal experiences, as well as the impact of a menstrual taboo and negative stereotype.
Optimal rates for phylogenetic inference and experimental design in the era of genome-scale data sets

description: Time and rate of character evolution can be used to predict the probability of convergence in states. Theory predicts the existence of an optimal rate that maximizes phylogenetic information and minimizes homoplasious characters. The question of how to select data appropriate for a given phylogenetic problem has become a major topic of interest. This question has been driving development of theory of phylogenetic experimental design for over two decades. Some research has failed to find a relationship between the rate of a gene and phylogenetic utility, perhaps because of tree structure, substitution model, and taxon sampling. Here, we show how optimal rates do or don’t depend on these factors—in ways that vitally inform phylogenetic experimental design.

description: Notre mémoire porte sur le stress ressenti par les élèves du secondaire II, dans le cadre scolaire ou extrascolaire, leur anxiété de performance et leurs compétences émotionnelles. Selon Guimond-Plourde (2008), le stress est un état résultant de l’exposition à un facteur de stress, et défini par des manifestations physiques, psychologiques et sociales, face auquel l’individu va tenter de mettre en oeuvre divers moyens dans le but de rétablir l’équilibre perturbé. Au travers de notre travail, nous avons tenté d’établir le profil psychologique de nos élèves et de montrer s’il existait des corrélations entre le stress perçu par les élèves et leurs stratégies de régulations des émotions. Pour ce faire, nous avons fait remplir à nos élèves âgés de 15 à 23 ans en École de Culture Générale ou en École de Maturité, un questionnaire en ligne regroupant plusieurs questionnaires agrégés. Ce dernier contenait : un questionnaire sur le stress général et le stress coping ("Stressante l’école ?") élaboré par Genoud, un questionnaire sur l’anxiété de performance développé par Gomez et Gay et un dernier questionnaire sur la régulation cognitive des émotions développé par Garnefski et al. (2001) Les données apportées par ce mémoire nous permettent d’avoir une meilleure compréhension du stress ressenti par nos élèves, des facteurs pouvant le causer et des stratégies qu’ils mettent en place pour le réduire. En tant qu’enseignants, cela nous permet de réfléchir à des moyens que nous pouvons mettre en place au travers de nos pratiques pédagogiques pour aider nos élèves à réduire ce stress et améliorer leurs performances. Des pistes pourraient être la clarification des objectifs d’apprentissages et attentes de l’enseignant, la mise en place d’un discours et de rétroactions positives et différentes techniques de relaxation (mentales ou physiques).

We investigate double covers of toroidal attractors, discuss changes in their morphology under correlated peeling bifurcations, describe their topological structures and the changes undergone as a symmetry axis crosses the original attractor, and indicate how the symbol name of a trajectory in the original lifts to one in the cover. Covering orbits are described using a powerful synthesis of kneading theory with refinements of the circle map. These methods are applied to a simple version of the van der Pol oscillator.

Multicriticality of the (2+1)-dimensional gonihedric model: A realization of the (d,m)=(3,2) Lifshitz point

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Multicriticality of the gonihedric model in 2+1 dimensions is investigated numerically. The gonihedric model is a fully frustrated Ising magnet with the finely tuned plaquette-type (four-body and plaquette-diagonal) interactions, which cancel out the domain-wall surface tension. Because the quantum-mechanical fluctuation along the imaginary-time direction is simply ferromagnetic, the criticality of the (2+1)-dimensional gonihedric model should be an anisotropic one; that is, the respective critical indices of real-space (\perp) and imaginary-time (\parallel) sectors do not coincide. Extending the parameter space to control the domain-wall surface tension, we analyze the criticality in terms of the crossover (multicritical) scaling theory. By means of the numerical diagonalization for the clusters with N\le 28 spins, we obtained the correlation-length critical indices (ν_\perp,ν_\parallel)=(0.45(10),1.04(27)), and the crossover exponent ϕ=0.7(2). Our results are comparable to (ν_{\perp},ν_{\parallel})=(0.482,1.230), and ϕ=0.688 obtained by Diehl and Shpot for the (d,m)=(3,2) Lifshitz point with the ε-expansion method up to O(ε^2).

 Type material examined. Holotype female (NMP): Russia, Altai Republic, Teletskoye Lake near the confluence of Koksa River, 1931.VII.23, leg. S.G. Lepneva. The collecting date is not written in the French, while indicated as 1930.VII. 23 in the Czech text of the original description. The name of the river is written as Koksy in the Czech text, while Koksi (КоКШИ) is indicated on the original label (Fig. 3c).
 Remarks. Despite that the specimen is in poor condition, it still exhibits the small subgenital plate same as illustrated in the original description of holotype (Figs. 3a–b). Five species of Alloperla are known from the Altai region (A. acietata Zapekina-Dulkeit, 1975, A. deminuta Zapekina-Dulkeit, 1970, A. joosti Zwick, 1972, A. mediata (Navás, 1925) and A. rostellata (Klapálek, 1923)). The female subgenital plate of A. deminuta is consistent with the A. teleckojensis (see fig. 543 in Teslenko, 2009 and Figs. 3a, 3b). Therefore, we believe those two species are conspecific and A. deminuta is considered herein as a junior synonym.

description: Magnetic gates in close proximity to graphene can induce ferromagnetic correlations. We study the effect of such induced magnetization dependent Zeeman splittings on the graphene transport properties. We estimate that induced spin splittings of the order of Δ~ 5 meV could be achieved with the use of magnetic insulator gates, e.g. EuO-gates, deposited on top of graphene. We demonstrate that such splittings in proximity induced ferromagnetic graphene could be determined directly from the tunneling resonances in the linear response conductance, as the top gate creates also a tunable barrier in the graphene layer. We show how such splittings could also be determined independently by magnetoresistance measurements in a spin-valve geometry. Because the spin polarization of the current near the Dirac point increases with the length of the barrier, long magnetic gates are desirable for determining Δexperimentally.

description: We investigate the Feshbach conversion of fermion atomic pairs to condensed boson molecules with a microscopic model that accounts the repulsive interactions among all the particles involved. We find that the conversion efficiency is enhanced by the interaction between boson molecules while suppressed by the interactions between fermion atoms and between atom and molecule. In certain cases, the combined effect of these interactions leads to a ceiling of less than 100% on the conversion efficiency even in the adiabatic limit. Our model predicts a non-monotonic dependence of the efficiency on mean atomic density. Our theory agrees well with recent experiments on $^6$Li and $^{40}$K.

description: This paper, using Ireland as a case study, examines the relationship between economic activities and river water quality. The stipulation from the EU water framework directive (WFD) that all surface waters in the EU must be of 'good ecological status' by 2015 necessitate a quantitative understanding of the major determinants of water quality. Within this context, this paper combines a number of spatial datasets relating to agricultural, residential and industrial activities as well as the level of forest cover to examine the major economic influences on the ecological quality of water resources. It is hoped that providing a comprehensive understanding of the effect of a variety of economic activities that influence the ecological quality of water will be an important tool in the management of risk and will allow for more appropriate land use planning aimed at restoring and maintaining water quality as required by the WFD. Results indicate that the level of forestry, industrial activity, the intensity and type of agricultural activity and the type of wastewater treatment in an area are all critical factors affecting the quality of our water resources. Moreover, the results highlight the importance of a spatial dimension to any analysis as the principal factors affecting water quality often differ across river catchments.

description: We investigate the M5-brane description of the Wilson surface operators in six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal field theory from AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider the Wilson surface operators in high-dimensional representation, whose description could be M5-brane string soliton solutions in $AdS_7\times S^4$ background. We construct such string soliton solutions from the covariant M5-brane equations of motion and discuss their properties. The supersymmetry analysis shows that these solutions are half-BPS. We also discuss the subtle issue on the boundary terms.

Explaining the Trust in Rochefoucauld v Boustead

Subjects: Trusts, Formalities, Statute of Frauds

description: In Rochefoucauld v Boustead, the Court of Appeal enforced a trust of land despite an absence of written evidence to satisfy s 7 of the Statute of Frauds. The case has attracted intense academic attention, not because this precise point arises often for decision, but rather as part of wider attempt by academics to explain and rationalise the recent growth of constructive trusts. Some scholars claim Rochefoucauld v Boustead as a constructive trust to draw from it a wide principle under which other wayward and orphan constructive trusts might be sheltered. Others argue that Rochefoucauld v Boustead concerned an express trust. This article argues that Rochefoucauld v Boustead is properly understood as an express trust. It will consider the nature of the fraud, the way in which the Statute of Frauds and the fraud must be pleaded, the arguments against a constructive trust and the detailed facts of Rochefoucauld v Boustead as it was pleaded and argued.

Numbers of TSHR-immunized mice positive for thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAbs), increased circulating thyroxine (T4), hyperplastic thyroid morphology, orbital brown fat (BAT) enlargement or muscle fiber atrophy are reported. The threshold for positivity was defined as upper 99% CI of the corresponding βgal groups. Table S3. Classification of total outcome of autoimmune hyperthyroidism and orbitopathy. Disease classification was done along the Z-Score values in Figure 8. The number of mice is given in %. Subclinical disease (Z-Score <0): these mice displayed no overt signs of autoimmune hyperthyroidism or orbitopathy although they developed TSHR antibodies. Clinical disease (Z-Score >0): These mice displayed clear signs of autoimmune hyperthyroidism and/or orbital pathology. Clinical disease is classified in mild and moderate/severe in accordance with the Z Score values as indicated (mild: Z Score 01; moderate/severe: Z-Score >1).
Occupational stress, coping behavior, coping efficacy, and occupational satisfaction, organizational commitment, and propensity to leave teaching

description: This study was concerned with the extent to which coping behavior, coping efficacy, and their interaction are associated with job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and propensity to leave teaching, after the effects of gender, stressor type, perceived stress, and control over stressor are accounted for. Respondents were 266 teachers from two British Columbia school districts covering smaller urban and rural areas. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire package distributed and collected through the district mail systems including: (a) demographic data, (b) 3 subsales from the revised version of the Teacher Stress Inventory (Pettegrew & Wolf, 1982), (c) 2 subscales from a coping efforts scale (Latack, 1986), (d) a modified version of the coping efforts scale measuring 2 subscales of coping efficacy, (e) the job satisfaction subscale from the Teacher Stress Inventory, (f) the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Mowday, Steers, & Porter, 1979), (g) a propensity to leave measure (Lyons, 1971), and (h) 8 single-item questions. Preliminary analysis was done to compare male and female teachers and to determine the influence of reluctance to complete the questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to examine relations among variables entered in six levels: (1) gender and stressor type; (2) perceived stress; (3) perceived control over stressor; (4) control and escape coping; (5) perceived control and escape efficacy; and (6) control and escape products. The first regression equation reached significance, F(10,213)=13.68, p< .01, and accounted for 39% of the variance of occupational satisfaction. The second regression equation reached significance, F(10,213)=9.33, p<.0l, and accounted for 30% of the variance of propensity to leave teaching. The third regression equation reached significance, F(10,213)=7.6I, p<.0l, and accounted for 26% of the variance of organizational commitment. Partial support was found for the influence with control coping efficacy accounting for a significant increase in the variance of organizational commitment, and the control coping x efficacy interaction accounting for a significant increase in the variance for propensity to leave teaching. Other control efficacy measures, efficacy products, and all escape efficacy measures failed to account for a significant increase in variance. High control coping behavior was related to lower levels of occupational satisfaction, organizational commitment, and a desire to remain in teaching. High escape coping behavior was related to lower occupation satisfaction. Recommendations for the school environment are made as well as directions for future research.

description: Le présent mémoire a été inspiré par les préoccupations des élèves et des étudiants exprimées lors de leurs manifestations pour le climat, manifestations essaimant rapidement et révélant les revendications d’autres groupes et d’autres milieux, notamment scientifiques, portant sur des problématiques également liées à l’environnement ; les appels d’économistes à réformer l’enseignement de leur discipline nous ont également interpelés. L’objectif de ce mémoire est donc double : vérifier que les contenus enseignés en économie, et en particulier les valeurs et les récits véhiculés, puissent être conciliables avec les valeurs de la durabilité, et le cas échéant proposer des ajustements et des alternatives. Le monopole de l’école néo-classique dans l’enseignement de l’économie et le cadre normatif de cette école nous ont semblé suffisamment significatifs pour suggérer qu’un dispositif puisse être mis en place, d’une part afin d’atténuer cette normativité, et d’autre part pour créer les conditions nécessaires à un espace dédié à des écoles de pensée dont les valeurs et les récits sont proches des valeurs recherchées voire qui apportent des solutions à ces problématiques. La pluridisciplinarité forme le premier volet de cette proposition et vise à décrire et à situer l’école néo-classique pour permettre aux élèves de la penser comme telle. Ce volet permet en parallèle d’apporter d’autres normes que celles de l’économie dite mainstream, notamment avec l’éthique. Le second volet se concentre sur les écoles de pensée qui ont intégré les problématiques environnementales dans leurs modèles ou qui s’en rapprochent. Une sélection d’écoles et de courants a été proposée, allant de l’économie écologique aux communs en passant par la socioéconomie écologique entre autres. Enseigner une discipline économique compatible avec les enjeux environnementaux devrait également permettre aux enseignants et aux élèves de travailler sur l’ensemble des niveaux taxonomiques, et de favoriser ainsi une pensée critique, éthique et autonome en vue d’affronter les problématiques contemporaines.

description: Additional file 12: Figure S10. Schematic model. Modulation of the gut microbiota in a mouse model of Graves‘ orbitopathy has an impact on induced disease. Female BALB/c mice were immunized with TSHR-A subunit and their intestinal microbiota were depleted with antibiotics (vancomycin) or skewed with probiotics (Lab4) and human fecal material transfer (hFMT) from severely affected patients with known increased Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, in order to study the effects of the microbiome on induced Graves’ Disease (GD)/ Graves’ orbitopathy (GO). Incidence and severity of GD (TSHR autoantibodies, thyroid histology, thyroxine level) and GO (orbital fat and muscle histology), lymphocyte phenotype, cytokine profile and gut microbiota were analysed at sacrifice (~22 weeks) . The results show that, whilst microbiome manipulation with all treatments specifically alter microbiome composition, hFMT increased severity of GD-like disease but treatment with Lab4 exacerbated induced autoimmune hyperthyroidism and GO. Vancomycin led to a significant increase of the genus Bacteroides and less pronounced GD- and GO-like changes.
