Abstract
We report on a measurement of astrophysical tau neutrinos with 9.7 yr of IceCube data. Using convolutional neural networks trained on images derived from simulated events, seven candidate ν_{τ} events were found with visible energies ranging from roughly 20 TeV to 1 PeV and a median expected parent ν_{τ} energy of about 200 TeV. Considering backgrounds from astrophysical and atmospheric neutrinos, and muons from π^{±}/K^{±} decays in atmospheric air showers, we obtain a total estimated background of about 0.5 events, dominated by non-ν_{τ} astrophysical neutrinos. Thus, we rule out the absence of astrophysical ν_{τ} at the 5σ level. The measured astrophysical ν_{τ} flux is consistent with expectations based on previously published IceCube astrophysical neutrino flux measurements and neutrino oscillations.

Abstract
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays, atomic nuclei that continuously impact Earth's atmosphere, is unknown. Because of deflection by interstellar magnetic fields, cosmic rays produced within the Milky Way arrive at Earth from random directions. However, cosmic rays interact with matter near their sources and during propagation, which produces high-energy neutrinos. We searched for neutrino emission using machine learning techniques applied to 10 years of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By comparing diffuse emission models to a background-only hypothesis, we identified neutrino emission from the Galactic plane at the 4.5σ level of significance. The signal is consistent with diffuse emission of neutrinos from the Milky Way but could also arise from a population of unresolved point sources.

Abstract
A supermassive black hole, obscured by cosmic dust, powers the nearby active galaxy NGC 1068. Neutrinos, which rarely interact with matter, could provide information on the galaxy’s active core. We searched for neutrino emission from astrophysical objects using data recorded with the IceCube neutrino detector between 2011 and 2020. The positions of 110 known gamma-ray sources were individually searched for neutrino detections above atmospheric and cosmic backgrounds. We found that NGC 1068 has an excess of

neutrinos at tera–electron volt energies, with a global significance of 4.2σ, which we interpret as associated with the active galaxy. The flux of high-energy neutrinos that we measured from NGC 1068 is more than an order of magnitude higher than the upper limit on emissions of tera–electron volt gamma rays from this source.

Abstract
We present a search for an unstable sterile neutrino by looking for a resonant signal in eight years of atmospheric ν_{μ} data collected from 2011 to 2019 at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Both the (stable) three-neutrino and the 3+1 sterile neutrino models are disfavored relative to the unstable sterile neutrino model, though with p values of 2.8% and 0.81%, respectively, we do not observe evidence for 3+1 neutrinos with neutrino decay. The best-fit parameters for the sterile neutrino with decay model from this study are Δm_{41}^{2}=6.7_{-2.5}^{+3.9} eV^{2}, sin^{2}2θ_{24}=0.33_{-0.17}^{+0.20}, and g^{2}=2.5π±1.5π, where g is the decay-mediating coupling. The preferred regions of the 3+1+decay model from short-baseline oscillation searches are excluded at 90% C.L.

Abstract
We report a search for nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) using eight years of TeV-scale atmospheric muon neutrino data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By reconstructing incident energies and zenith angles for atmospheric neutrino events, this analysis presents unified confidence intervals for the NSI parameter ε_{μτ}. The best-fit value is consistent with no NSI at a p value of 25.2%. With a 90% confidence interval of -0.0041≤ε_{μτ}≤0.0031 along the real axis and similar strength in the complex plane, this result is the strongest constraint on any NSI parameter from any oscillation channel to date.

Abstract
We present an all-sky 90% confidence level upper limit on the cosmic flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles using 2886 days of IceCube data. The analysis was optimized for monopole speeds between 0.750c and 0.995c, without any explicit restriction on the monopole mass. We constrain the flux of relativistic cosmic magnetic monopoles to a level below 2.0×10^{-19} cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} over the majority of the targeted speed range. This result constitutes the most strict upper limit to date for magnetic monopoles with β≳0.8 and up to β∼0.995 and fills the gap between existing limits on the cosmic flux of nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic magnetic monopoles.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
The dedication of large areas in Anchorage for urban park environments encouraged increased interaction between migrating Canadian geese, approximately 1500 moose and humans. Urban wildlife inhabiting public establishments such as parking lots, creeks, playgrounds, and suburban backyards results in significant environmental fecal contamination. Previous studies found varying potential for zoonotic transmission of parasites through direct fecal contact or water contamination. With a significant number of vulnerable unsheltered individuals in Anchorage using public green belts, there is risk of asymptomatic, under diagnosed, parasitic infection due to exposure to fecal contamination.
Methods/Case Report
To assess environmental risk of parasitic zoonosis from urban wildlife, we surveyed fourteen high impact exposure areas including waterways and green spaces throughout Anchorage with ground collection of 106 fecal samples from moose (n=76) and geese (n=30). Using standard rapid antigen immunoassay detection method, we identified preserved samples for the presence of Cryptosporidium or Giardia.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
Overall evaluation of fecal samples found 23.6% positive for parasitic colonization in 87% of collection sites. Giardia was identified in 10.4% and Cryptosporidium in 13.2%. Comparative evaluation of each species found geese with a higher percentage of Cryptosporidium isolated (30%) when compared to moose (6%). Giardia was predominately found in moose (13%) with very few geese colonized.
Conclusion
Considering the high population of outdoor enthusiasts and a significant number of unsheltered individuals in Anchorage, discovering nearly a quarter of urban moose and geese colonized with Giardia and/or Cryptosporidium identifies a significant public health risk. Often using creeks and lagoons as their water source Anchorage’s vulnerable population includes a large number of immunocompromised HIV positive individuals in which parasitic infection, especially Cryptosporidium, can cause overall poor health and reduced quality of life. Therefore, active surveillance of parasitic colonization in urban wildlife is essential and continued evaluation necessary to determine public health risk.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Escherichia coli is an especially dangerous health threat to humans when it develops multi- drug resistance. Decreased sensitivity to quinolone and beta-lactam antibiotics has been documented with antibiotic use in health care and agriculture. Migrating birds interact with wastewater treatment plants colonized with drug resistant Escherichia coli potentially transfer to other wildlife. Anchorage is home to 1500 moose and migrating geese providing a potential risk for Escherichia coli colonization. Because fecal contamination is abundant in Anchorage’s greenspaces, we evaluated the presence of Escherichia coli and antibiotic resistance in urban moose.
Methods/Case Report
Between 2018-2020, moose fecal samples were ground collected during the spring thaw within Anchorage Alaska, placed in transport media and cultured to MacConkey agar. Lactose fermenting colonies were further identified as Escherichia coli by biochemical testing and sub-cultured to sheep blood agar for antimicrobial evaluation. Using the Kirby Bauer method, antimicrobial sensitivity for cefpodoxime, ampicillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, gentamycin and ciprofloxacin were performed and interpreted using Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
A total of 150 samples were analyzed with 39% positive for Escherichia coli: fourteen in 2018, seventeen in 2019, and twenty-eight in 2020. In 2018, resistance was significant in ampicillin (43%), limited in piperacillin/tazobactam and cefpodoxime (14%). In 2019 found a 40% overall increase of antimicrobial resistance and by 2020 Escherichia coli isolates were resistant in all antibiotics tested: cefpodoxime (100%), ampicillin (96%), piperacillin/tazobactam (43%), gentamycin (35%), and ciprofloxacin (32%).
Conclusion
Measuring resistant patterns of Escherichia coli in wildlife is essential to understand the risk of colonization. Transmission of infectious agents can occur due to environmental exposure and Anchorage has expanded greenspaces resulting in increased human interaction with urban wildlife. In 2018, we found antimicrobial resistance only to ampicillin but subsequent years discovered decrease sensitivity and by 2020 Escherichia coli isolates resistant to one or more antibiotics including beta-lactams, quinolones, and aminoglycosides. The risk of zoonosis of multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli, especially in our housing insecure, has a significant impact for patient outcome.

Abstract
The results of a 3+1 sterile neutrino search using eight years of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory are presented. A total of 305 735 muon neutrino events are analyzed in reconstructed energy-zenith space to test for signatures of a matter-enhanced oscillation that would occur given a sterile neutrino state with a mass-squared differences between 0.01 and 100 eV^{2}. The best-fit point is found to be at sin^{2}(2θ_{24})=0.10 and Δm_{41}^{2}=4.5 eV^{2}, which is consistent with the no sterile neutrino hypothesis with a p value of 8.0%.

Abstract
We report on the first measurement of the astrophysical neutrino flux using particle showers (cascades) in IceCube data from 2010-2015. Assuming standard oscillations, the astrophysical neutrinos in this dedicated cascade sample are dominated (∼90%) by electron and tau flavors. The flux, observed in the sensitive energy range from 16 TeV to 2.6 PeV, is consistent with a single power-law model as expected from Fermi-type acceleration of high energy particles at astrophysical sources. We find the flux spectral index to be γ=2.53±0.07 and a flux normalization for each neutrino flavor of ϕ_{astro}=1.66_{-0.27}^{+0.25} at E_{0}=100 TeV, in agreement with IceCube's complementary muon neutrino results and with all-neutrino flavor fit results. In the measured energy range we reject spectral indices γ≤2.28 at ≥3σ significance level. Because of high neutrino energy resolution and low atmospheric neutrino backgrounds, this analysis provides the most detailed characterization of the neutrino flux at energies below ∼100 TeV compared to previous IceCube results. Results from fits assuming more complex neutrino flux models suggest a flux softening at high energies and a flux hardening at low energies (p value ≥0.06). The sizable and smooth flux measured below ∼100 TeV remains a puzzle. In order to not violate the isotropic diffuse gamma-ray background as measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope, it suggests the existence of astrophysical neutrino sources characterized by dense environments which are opaque to gamma rays.

Abstract
This Letter presents the results from pointlike neutrino source searches using ten years of IceCube data collected between April 6, 2008 and July 10, 2018. We evaluate the significance of an astrophysical signal from a pointlike source looking for an excess of clustered neutrino events with energies typically above ∼1 TeV among the background of atmospheric muons and neutrinos. We perform a full-sky scan, a search within a selected source catalog, a catalog population study, and three stacked Galactic catalog searches. The most significant point in the northern hemisphere from scanning the sky is coincident with the Seyfert II galaxy NGC 1068, which was included in the source catalog search. The excess at the coordinates of NGC 1068 is inconsistent with background expectations at the level of 2.9σ after accounting for statistical trials from the entire catalog. The combination of this result along with excesses observed at the coordinates of three other sources, including TXS 0506+056, suggests that, collectively, correlations with sources in the northern catalog are inconsistent with background at 3.3σ significance. The southern catalog is consistent with background. These results, all based on searches for a cumulative neutrino signal integrated over the 10 years of available data, motivate further study of these and similar sources, including time-dependent analyses, multimessenger correlations, and the possibility of stronger evidence with coming upgrades to the detector.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although they form a unitary phenomenon, the relationship between extracranial M/EEG and transmembrane ion flows is understood only as a general principle rather than as a well-articulated and quantified causal chain. METHOD We present an integrated multiscale model, consisting of a neural simulation of thalamus and cortex during stage N2 sleep and a biophysical model projecting cortical current densities to M/EEG fields. Sleep spindles were generated through the interactions of local and distant network connections and intrinsic currents within thalamocortical circuits. 32,652 cortical neurons were mapped onto the cortical surface reconstructed from subjects' MRI, interconnected based on geodesic distances, and scaled-up to current dipole densities based on laminar recordings in humans. MRIs were used to generate a quasi-static electromagnetic model enabling simulated cortical activity to be projected to the M/EEG sensors. RESULTS The simulated M/EEG spindles were similar in amplitude and topography to empirical examples in the same subjects. Simulated spindles with more core-dominant activity were more MEG weighted. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS Previous models lacked either spindle-generating thalamic neural dynamics or whole head biophysical modeling; the framework presented here is the first to simultaneously capture these disparate scales. CONCLUSIONS This multiscale model provides a platform for the principled quantitative integration of existing information relevant to the generation of sleep spindles, and allows the implications of future findings to be explored. It provides a proof of principle for a methodological framework allowing large-scale integrative brain oscillations to be understood in terms of their underlying channels and synapses.

Abstract
High-energy neutrino emission has been predicted for several short-lived astrophysical transients including gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), core-collapse supernovae with choked jets, and neutron star mergers. IceCube's optical and x-ray follow-up program searches for such transient sources by looking for two or more muon neutrino candidates in directional coincidence and arriving within 100 s. The measured rate of neutrino alerts is consistent with the expected rate of chance coincidences of atmospheric background events and no likely electromagnetic counterparts have been identified in Swift follow-up observations. Here, we calculate generic bounds on the neutrino flux of short-lived transient sources. Assuming an E^{-2.5} neutrino spectrum, we find that the neutrino flux of rare sources, like long gamma-ray bursts, is constrained to <5% of the detected astrophysical flux and the energy released in neutrinos (100 GeV to 10 PeV) by a median bright GRB-like source is <10^{52.5} erg. For a harder E^{-2.13} neutrino spectrum up to 30% of the flux could be produced by GRBs and the allowed median source energy is <10^{52} erg. A hypothetical population of transient sources has to be more common than 10^{-5} Mpc^{-3} yr^{-1} (5×10^{-8} Mpc^{-3} yr^{-1} for the E^{-2.13} spectrum) to account for the complete astrophysical neutrino flux.

Abstract
With the observation of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, interest has risen in models of PeV-mass decaying dark matter particles to explain the observed flux. We present two dedicated experimental analyses to test this hypothesis. One analysis uses 6 years of IceCube data focusing on muon neutrino 'track' events from the Northern Hemisphere, while the second analysis uses 2 years of 'cascade' events from the full sky. Known background components and the hypothetical flux from unstable dark matter are fitted to the experimental data. Since no significant excess is observed in either analysis, lower limits on the lifetime of dark matter particles are derived: we obtain the strongest constraint to date, excluding lifetimes shorter than10 28 s at 90% CL for dark matter masses above 10 TeV .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal anaesthesia is the preferred choice for total hip- and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), due to the claimed superior outcome profile, relative simple technique and without the need for advanced airway support. However, choosing and informing about spinal anaesthesia should also include the risk for intraoperative failed spinal anaesthesia with associated pain, discomfort and suboptimal settings for airway management. Small-scale studies suggest incidences from 1 to 17%; however, no multi-institutional large data exists on failed spinal incidence and related factors during THA/TKA, hindering evidence-based information and potential anaesthesia stratification. METHODS In a sub-analysis, data from a prospective study on spinal anaesthesia for THA/TKA were examined for incidence of intraoperative conversion to general anaesthesia. Potential perioperative factors (age, gender, American Society of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) score, height, weight, BMI, procedure, bupivacaine dosage and duration of time from spinal administration until end of surgery) were analysed with logistic regression for relation to failed spinal anaesthesia. RESULTS In all, 1451 patients were included for analysis, whereof 57 (3.9%) had failed spinal anaesthesia. Spinal failure patients were significantly younger (61 vs. 67 years, P = 0.003), and operation time longer in the failed spinal group vs no-failure, respectively (133 vs. 89 min, P < 0.001). No significant differences were found with regard to bupivacaine volume, gender, ASA-score, height, weight, BMI or THA vs. TKA. CONCLUSION Failed spinal anaesthesia for THA and TKA is a relatively frequent occurrence and identification of risk patients is not feasible. These results should be considered when choosing anaesthesia and included in the information to patients.

Abstract
Binary brush structures consisting of poly(cysteine methacrylate) (PCysMA) "corrals" enclosed within poly(oligoethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMA) "walls" are fabricated simply and efficiently using a two-step photochemical process. First, the C-Cl bonds of 4-(chloromethyl)phenylsilane monolayers are selectively converted into carboxylic acid groups by patterned exposure to UV light through a mask and POEGMA is grown from unmodified chlorinated regions by surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP). Incorporation of a ratiometric fluorescent pH indicator, Nile Blue 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl carbamate (NBC), into the polymer brushes facilitates assessment of local changes in pH using a confocal laser scanning microscope with spectral resolution capability. Moreover, the dye label acts as a radical spin trap, enabling removal of halogen end-groups from the brushes via in situ dye addition during the polymerisation process. Second, an initiator is attached to the carboxylic acid-functionalised regions formed by UV photolysis in the patterning step, enabling growth of PCysMA brushes by ATRP. Transfer of the system to THF, a poor solvent for PCysMA, causes collapse of the PCysMA brushes. At the interface between the collapsed brush and solvent, selective derivatisation of amine groups is achieved by reaction with excess glutaraldehyde, facilitating attachment of aminobutyl(nitrile triacetic acid) (NTA). The PCysMA brush collapse is reversed on transfer to water, leaving it fully expanded but only functionalized at the brush-water interface. Following complexation of NTA with Ni2+, attachment of histidine-tagged proteorhodopsin and lipid deposition, light-activated transport of protons into the brush structure is demonstrated by measuring the ratiometric response of NBC in the POEGMA walls.

Abstract
We investigated how population changes and fluctuations in the pink-footed goose might have been affected by climatic and anthropogenic factors. First, genomic data confirmed the existence of two separate populations: western (Iceland) and eastern (Svalbard/Denmark). Second, demographic inference suggests that the species survived the last glacial period as a single ancestral population with a low population size (100-1,000 individuals) that split into the current populations at the end of the last glacial maximum with Iceland being the most plausible glacial refuge. While population changes during the last glaciation were clearly environmental, we hypothesize that more recent demographic changes are human-related: (1) the inferred population increase in the Neolithic is due to deforestation to establish new lands for agriculture, increasing available habitat for pink-footed geese, (2) the decline inferred during the Middle Ages is due to human persecution, and (3) improved protection explains the increasing demographic trends during the 20th century. Our results suggest both environmental (during glacial cycles) and anthropogenic effects (more recent) can be a threat to species survival.

Abstract
IceCube is a neutrino observatory deployed in the glacial ice at the geographic South Pole. The ν μ energy unfolding described in this paper is based on data taken with IceCube in its 79-string configuration. A sample of muon neutrino charged-current interactions with a purity of 99.5% was selected by means of a multivariate classification process based on machine learning. The subsequent unfolding was performed using the software Truee. The resulting spectrum covers an E ν -range of more than four orders of magnitude from 125 GeV to 3.2 PeV. Compared to the Honda atmospheric neutrino flux model, the energy spectrum shows an excess of more than 1.9 σ in four adjacent bins for neutrino energies E ν ≥ 177.8 TeV . The obtained spectrum is fully compatible with previous measurements of the atmospheric neutrino flux and recent IceCube measurements of a flux of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos.

Abstract
We report constraints on the sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) above 10^{9} GeV, based on an analysis of seven years of IceCube data. This analysis efficiently selects very high- energy neutrino-induced events which have deposited energies from 5×10^{5} GeV to above 10^{11} GeV. Two neutrino-induced events with an estimated deposited energy of (2.6±0.3)×10^{6} GeV, the highest neutrino energy observed so far, and (7.7±2.0)×10^{5} GeV were detected. The atmospheric background-only hypothesis of detecting these events is rejected at 3.6σ. The hypothesis that the observed events are of cosmogenic origin is also rejected at >99% CL because of the limited deposited energy and the nonobservation of events at higher energy, while their observation is consistent with an astrophysical origin. Our limits on cosmogenic neutrino fluxes disfavor the UHECR sources having a cosmological evolution stronger than the star formation rate, e.g., active galactic nuclei and γ-ray bursts, assuming proton-dominated UHECRs. Constraints on UHECR sources including mixed and heavy UHECR compositions are obtained for models of neutrino production within UHECR sources. Our limit disfavors a significant part of parameter space for active galactic nuclei and new-born pulsar models. These limits on the ultrahigh-energy neutrino flux models are the most stringent to date.

Abstract
The IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole has measured the atmospheric muon neutrino spectrum as a function of zenith angle and energy in the approximate 320 GeV to 20 TeV range, to search for the oscillation signatures of light sterile neutrinos. No evidence for anomalous ν_{μ} or ν[over ¯]_{μ} disappearance is observed in either of two independently developed analyses, each using one year of atmospheric neutrino data. New exclusion limits are placed on the parameter space of the 3+1 model, in which muon antineutrinos experience a strong Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein-resonant oscillation. The exclusion limits extend to sin^{2}2θ_{24}≤0.02 at Δm^{2}∼0.3 eV^{2} at the 90% confidence level. The allowed region from global analysis of appearance experiments, including LSND and MiniBooNE, is excluded at approximately the 99% confidence level for the global best-fit value of |U_{e4}|^{2}.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a well-established prognostic biomarker in many cancer types including breast cancer (BC). Numerous studies using immunohistochemically evaluation of uPAR expression in tissue samples from BC patients have shown that not only is uPAR consistently overexpressed, but also carries strong prognostic value and is associates with overall survival. Accordingly, uPAR is an obvious target for identifying BC and for phenotyping aggressiveness in BC. Using whole body Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging rather than tissue specimens circumvents possible sampling error and allows for staging. Our objective was therefore to perform first-in-humans studies of uPAR-specific PET imaging in BC using either 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 or 68Ga-NOTA-AE105
Methods
Six patients with BC and scheduled for surgery were included. Prior to operation, patients were either PET/CT scanned 1, 3 and 24 h after injection of the uPAR PET ligand 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 (n=3; half life of 64Cu: 13 h) or PET/CT scanned 10 min, 1 h or 2 h after injection of 68Ga-NOTA-AE105 (n=3; half life of 68Ga: 1 h). PET Images were visually analyzed for visible tumor uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 or 68Ga-NOTA-AE105 and Standardized Uptake Values (SUV) were obtained by manually drawing volumes of interest (VOIs) around the primary tumor as well as identified metastases. Results are given as SUVmax. Tumor-to-background ratios relative to liver, kidney, blood and muscle were also calculated. Surgical tumor specimens were obtained from all patients during subsequent surgery. In addition to routine pathological examination, tissue was analyzed for ex vivo uPAR expression as target validation.
Results
Both primary tumors and metastases were visually detectable. For 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 SUVmax values were 2.9–4.0., and 2.9-4.0 after 1 and 3 h, respectively. Tumor-to-background ratios after 1 h were 0.91 (tumor-liver), 1.65 (tumor-kidney), 0.96 (tumor-blood) and 8.9 (tumor-muscle), respectively. Tumor-to-background ratios after 3 h were 0.50 (tumor-liver), 0.96 (tumor-kidney), 4.2 (tumor-blood) and 11.4 (tumor-muscle), respectively. Ex vivo analysis by immunohistochemistry confirmed uPAR expression in all primary cancer lesions. For 68Ga-NOTA-AE105, SUVmax was 5.0, 3.8 and 4.2 after 10 min, 1 h and 3 h, respectively (first patient analyzed). Tumor-to-background ratios after 10 min were 2.8 (tumor-liver), 0.4 (tumor-kidney), 1.6 (tumor-blood) and 8.4 (tumor-muscle), respectively. Tumor-to-background ratios after 1 h were 3.2 (tumor-liver), 0.6 (tumor-kidney), 1.7 (tumor-blood) and 7.1 (tumor-muscle), respectively.
Conclusion
This is the first study in humans using PET imaging of uPAR in BC. Both primary tumors and metastases were clearly visible with robust PET tracer uptake and a high and sufficient contrast between tumors and background. Our data supports continuation into phase II clinical studies using uPAR PET for staging and risk stratification, which potentially may be used for selection of treatment strategy in BC.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to investigate the individual variation, repeatability and correlation of methane (CH4) production from dairy cows measured during 2 different years. A total of 21 dairy cows with an average BW of 619 ± 14.2 kg and average milk production of 29.1 ± 6.5 kg/day (mean ± s.d.) were used in the 1st year. During the 2nd year, the same cows were used with an average BW of 640 ± 8.0 kg and average milk production of 33.4 ± 6.0 kg/day (mean ± s.d.). The cows were housed in a loose housing system fitted with an automatic milking system (AMS). A total mixed ration was fed to the cows ad libitum in both years. In addition, they were offered concentrate in the AMS based on their daily milk yield. The CH4 and CO2 production levels of the cows were analysed using a Gasmet DX-4030. The estimated dry matter intake (EDMI) was 19.8 ± 0.96 and 23.1 ± 0.78 (mean ± s.d.), and the energy-corrected milk (ECM) production was 30.8 ± 8.03 and 33.7 ± 5.25 kg/day (mean ± s.d.) during the 1st and 2nd year, respectively. The EDMI and ECM had a significant influence (P<0.001) on the CH4 (l/day) yield during both years. The daily CH4 (l/day) production was significantly higher (P<0.05) during the 2nd year compared with the 1st year. The EDMI (described by the ECM) appeared to be the key factor in the variation of CH4 release. A correlation (r=0.54) of CH4 production was observed between the years. The CH4 (l/day) production was strongly correlated (r=0.70) between the 2 years with an adjusted ECM production (30 kg/day). The diurnal variation of CH4 (l/h) production showed significantly lower (P<0.05) emission during the night (0000 to 0800 h). The between-cows variation of CH4 (l/day, l/kg EDMI and l/kg ECM) was lower compared with the within-cow variation for the 1st and 2nd years. The repeatability of CH4 production (l/day) was 0.51 between 2 years. In conclusion, a higher EDMI (kg/day) followed by a higher ECM (kg/day) showed a higher CH4 production (l/day) in the 2nd year. The variations of CH4 (l/day) among the cows were lower than the within-cow variations. The CH4 (l/day) production was highly repeatable and, with an adjusted ECM production, was correlated between the years.

Abstract
Results from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory have recently provided compelling evidence for the existence of a high energy astrophysical neutrino flux utilizing a dominantly Southern Hemisphere data set consisting primarily of ν(e) and ν(τ) charged-current and neutral-current (cascade) neutrino interactions. In the analysis presented here, a data sample of approximately 35,000 muon neutrinos from the Northern sky is extracted from data taken during 659.5 days of live time recorded between May 2010 and May 2012. While this sample is composed primarily of neutrinos produced by cosmic ray interactions in Earth's atmosphere, the highest energy events are inconsistent with a hypothesis of solely terrestrial origin at 3.7σ significance. These neutrinos can, however, be explained by an astrophysical flux per neutrino flavor at a level of Φ(E(ν))=9.9(-3.4)(+3.9)×10(-19) GeV(-1) cm(-2) sr(-1) s(-1)(E(ν)/100 TeV(-2), consistent with IceCube's Southern-Hemisphere-dominated result. Additionally, a fit for an astrophysical flux with an arbitrary spectral index is performed. We find a spectral index of 2.2(-0.2)(+0.2), which is also in good agreement with the Southern Hemisphere result.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist liraglutide on the counter-regulatory hormone response to hypoglycaemia in type 1 diabetes. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-centre trial, in which a total of 45 adults with type 1 diabetes [mean ± standard deviation age 34.5 ± 11.2 years, BMI 23.9 ± 2.4 kg/m(2) , glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) 7.6 ± 0.8%, diabetes duration 16.6 ± 9.4 years] underwent a hypoglycaemic clamp after 4 weeks' crossover treatment with once-daily liraglutide/placebo added to insulin in one of three liraglutide dose groups: 0.6 mg (n = 15); 1.2 mg (n = 14); and 1.8 mg (n = 16). The main outcome measure was glucagon concentration at nadir plasma glucose (2.5 mmol/l). Clinical outcomes were also evaluated. Five participants were withdrawn from the trial; three because of adverse events. All participants were included in the analysis. RESULTS Glucagon concentration at nadir plasma glucose was modest, trending towards lower concentrations at increasing liraglutide dose versus placebo: 34.7 versus 38.1 pg/ml, p = 0.555 (0.6 mg); 28.8 versus 37.2 pg/ml, p = 0.126 (1.2 mg); and 28.4 versus 37.5 pg/ml, p = 0.092 (1.8 mg). There was no difference, however, between liraglutide and placebo in incremental change in glucagon during hypoglycaemia. Other counter-regulatory hormone levels increased during hypoglycaemia with no systematic differences between groups. Glucose infusion rates were significantly lower with liraglutide versus placebo during the clamp. After 4 weeks' treatment, HbA1c remained unchanged in the liraglutide and placebo groups. Greater reductions in insulin dose and body weight were seen with liraglutide versus placebo. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide did not compromise hypoglycaemic responses in type 1 diabetes after 4 weeks' treatment.

Abstract
A diffuse flux of astrophysical neutrinos above 100 TeV has been observed at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Here we extend this analysis to probe the astrophysical flux down to 35 TeV and analyze its flavor composition by classifying events as showers or tracks. Taking advantage of lower atmospheric backgrounds for showerlike events, we obtain a shower-biased sample containing 129 showers and 8 tracks collected in three years from 2010 to 2013. We demonstrate consistency with the (fe:fμ:fτ)⊕≈(1:1:1)⊕ flavor ratio at Earth commonly expected from the averaged oscillations of neutrinos produced by pion decay in distant astrophysical sources. Limits are placed on nonstandard flavor compositions that cannot be produced by averaged neutrino oscillations but could arise in exotic physics scenarios. A maximally tracklike composition of (0:1:0)⊕ is excluded at 3.3σ, and a purely showerlike composition of (1:0:0)⊕ is excluded at 2.3σ.

Abstract
We present the development and application of a generic analysis scheme for the measurement of neutrino spectra with the IceCube detector. This scheme is based on regularized unfolding, preceded by an event selection which uses a Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance algorithm to select the relevant variables and a random forest for the classification of events. The analysis has been developed using IceCube data from the 59-string configuration of the detector. 27,771 neutrino candidates were detected in 346 days of livetime. A rejection of 99.9999 % of the atmospheric muon background is achieved. The energy spectrum of the atmospheric neutrino flux is obtained using the TRUEE unfolding program. The unfolded spectrum of atmospheric muon neutrinos covers an energy range from 100 GeV to 1 PeV. Compared to the previous measurement using the detector in the 40-string configuration, the analysis presented here, extends the upper end of the atmospheric neutrino spectrum by more than a factor of two, reaching an energy region that has not been previously accessed by spectral measurements.
