      abstract     = {We report on the search for neutrino-induced
                      particle-showers, so-called cascades, in the IceCube-40
                      detector. The data for this search was collected between
                      April 2008 and May 2009 when the first 40 IceCube strings
                      were deployed and operational. Three complementary searches
                      were performed, each optimized for different energy regimes.
                      The analysis with the lowest energy threshold (2 TeV)
                      targeted atmospheric neutrinos. A total of 67 events were
                      found, consistent with the expectation of 41 atmospheric
                      muons and 30 atmospheric neutrino events. The two other
                      analyses targeted a harder, astrophysical neutrino flux. The
                      analysis with an intermediate threshold of 25 TeV lead to
                      the observation of 14 cascade-like events, again consistent
                      with the prediction of 3.0 atmospheric neutrino and 7.7
                      atmospheric muon events. We hence set an upper limit of $E^2
                      \Phi_{lim} \leq 7.46\times10^{-8}\,\mathrm{GeV sr^{-1}
                      s^{-1} cm^{-2}}$ (90\% C.L.) on the diffuse flux from
                      astrophysical neutrinos of all neutrino flavors, applicable
                      to the energy range 25 TeV to 5 PeV, assuming an
                      $E_{\nu}^{-2}$ spectrum and a neutrino flavor ratio of 1:1:1
                      at the Earth. The third analysis utilized a larger and
                      optimized sample of atmospheric muon background simulation,
                      leading to a higher energy threshold of 100 TeV. Three
                      events were found over a background prediction of 0.04
                      atmospheric muon events and 0.21 events from the flux of
                      conventional and prompt atmospheric neutrinos. Including
                      systematic errors this corresponds to a $2.7\sigma$ excess
                      with respect to the background-only hypothesis. Our
                      observation of neutrino event candidates above 100 TeV
                      complements IceCube's recently observed evidence for
                      high-energy astrophysical neutrinos.},
