Search for Spatial Correlations of Neutrinos with Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Rays

For several decades, the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) has been an unsolved question of high-energy astrophysics. One approach for solving this puzzle is to correlate UHECRs with high-energy neutrinos, since neutrinos are a direct probe of hadronic interactions of cosmic rays and are not deflected by magnetic fields. In this paper, we present three different approaches for correlating the arrival directions of neutrinos with the arrival directions of UHECRs. The neutrino data are provided by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and ANTARES, while the UHECR data with energies above ∼50 EeV are provided by the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array. All experiments provide increased statistics and improved reconstructions with respect to our previous results reported in 2015. The first analysis uses a high-statistics neutrino sample optimized for point-source searches to search for excesses of neutrino clustering in the vicinity of UHECR directions. The second analysis searches for an excess of UHECRs in the direction of the highest-energy neutrinos. The third analysis searches for an excess of pairs of UHECRs and highest-energy neutrinos on different angular scales. None of the analyses have found a significant excess, and previously reported overfluctuations are reduced in significance. Based on these results, we further constrain the neutrino flux spatially correlated with UHECRs

Data for: Functional analysis of a polluted river microbiome reveals a metabolic potential for bioremediation of environmental significance pollutants

These data contain the list of selected "seed-sequences" for biodegradative and metal-related activities prediction by hidden Markov models (HMM) profiles, in Apatlaco river, Morelos state, Mexico. The Apatlaco river has 63 km in length and provides water to 10 state districts and an average of 2 million of people. The river receives 321 wastewater discharges, of which 49% come from industrial activities, 42% from the domestic sector and just 9% from farming. The aim of this research is to understand the functional and metabolic potential of the microbial communities in the Apatlaco river and highlight its relations with natural bioremediation capabilities. Also, we make publicly available the metagenomic assemblies generated for each of four sites sampled along the river (S1-S4). The assemblies were generated using Megahit v1.1.3 (Li et al., 2015) with the following parameters: --k-min 25 --k-max 75 --k-step 10 -m 0.4 --no-mercy
