The concept of the industry 4.0 in a German multinational instrumentation and control company: a case study of a subsidiary in Brazil
The study aims to present the industry's 4.0 concepts and facilities available on the market, applied in a German instrumentation and control industry in Brazil. The study aims to present advanced manufacturing technologies that are already being applied in the company studied. As a research method, a bibliographic review is done first, followed by a qualitative, quantitative and descriptive analysis of the results of a case study. The results are intended to present the company's maturity level in relation to Industry 4.0 (I.4.0) as well as to diagnose possible new applications to increase the control and monitoring of its activities. At the end of the paper, suggestions for future studies will be available to complement the methodology proposed in this study
SXDF-UDS-CANDELS-ALMA 1.5 arcmin deep survey
We have conducted 1.1 mm ALMA observations of a contiguous or 1.5 arcmin window in the SXDF-UDS-CANDELS. We achieved a 5
sensitivity of 0.28 mJy, providing a flat sensus of dusty star-forming galaxies
with (for =40K) up to
thanks to the negative K-correction at this wavelength. We detected 5
brightest sources (S/N6) and 18 low-significance sources (5S/N4; these
may contain spurious detections, though). One of the 5 brightest ALMA sources
( mJy) is extremely faint in the WFC3 and
VLT/HAWK-I images, demonstrating that a contiguous ALMA imaging survey is able
to uncover a faint dust-obscured population that is invisible in deep
optical/near-infrared surveys. We found a possible [CII]-line emitter at
or a low- CO emitting galaxy within the field, which may allow us
to constrain the [CII] and/or the CO luminosity functions across the history of
the universe.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, to appear in the proceedings of IAU

SXDF-ALMA 1.5 arcmin^2 deep survey. A compact dusty star-forming galaxy at z=2.5
We present first results from the SXDF-ALMA 1.5 arcmin^2 deep survey at 1.1
mm using Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). The map reaches a 1sigma depth
of 55 uJy/beam and covers 12 Halpha-selected star-forming galaxies at z = 2.19
or z=2.53. We have detected continuum emission from three of our
Halpha-selected sample, including one compact star-forming galaxy with high
stellar surface density, NB2315-07. They are all red in the rest-frame optical
and have stellar masses of log (M*/Msun)>10.9 whereas the other blue,
main-sequence galaxies with log(M*/Msun)=10.0-10.8 are exceedingly faint, <290
uJy (2sigma upper limit). We also find the 1.1 mm-brightest galaxy, NB2315-02,
to be associated with a compact (R_e=0.7+-0.1 kpc), dusty star-forming
component. Given high gas fraction (44^{+20}_{-8}% or 37^{+25}_{-3}%) and high
star formation rate surface density (126^{+27}_{-30} Msun yr^{-1}kpc^{-2}), the
concentrated starburst can within less than 50^{+12}_{-11} Myr build up a
stellar surface density matching that of massive compact galaxies at z~2,
provided at least 19+-3% of the total gas is converted into stars in the galaxy
centre. On the other hand, NB2315-07, which already has such a high stellar
surface density core, shows a gas fraction (23+-8%) and is located in the lower
envelope of the star formation main-sequence. This compact less star-forming
galaxy is likely to be in an intermediate phase between compact dusty
star-forming and quiescent galaxies.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in ApJ
Background model systematics for the Fermi GeV excess
The possible gamma-ray excess in the inner Galaxy and the Galactic center
(GC) suggested by Fermi-LAT observations has triggered a large number of
studies. It has been interpreted as a variety of different phenomena such as a
signal from WIMP dark matter annihilation, gamma-ray emission from a population
of millisecond pulsars, or emission from cosmic rays injected in a sequence of
burst-like events or continuously at the GC. We present the first comprehensive
study of model systematics coming from the Galactic diffuse emission in the
inner part of our Galaxy and their impact on the inferred properties of the
excess emission at Galactic latitudes and 300 MeV to 500
GeV. We study both theoretical and empirical model systematics, which we deduce
from a large range of Galactic diffuse emission models and a principal
component analysis of residuals in numerous test regions along the Galactic
plane. We show that the hypothesis of an extended spherical excess emission
with a uniform energy spectrum is compatible with the Fermi-LAT data in our
region of interest at CL. Assuming that this excess is the extended
counterpart of the one seen in the inner few degrees of the Galaxy, we derive a
lower limit of ( CL) on its extension away from the GC. We
show that, in light of the large correlated uncertainties that affect the
subtraction of the Galactic diffuse emission in the relevant regions, the
energy spectrum of the excess is equally compatible with both a simple broken
power-law of break energy GeV, and with spectra predicted by the
self-annihilation of dark matter, implying in the case of final
states a dark matter mass of GeV.Comment: 65 pages, 28 figures, 7 table
Tomography of the Fermi-LAT \u3b3-Ray Diffuse Extragalactic Signal via Cross Correlations with Galaxy Catalogs
Building on our previous cross-correlation analysis (Xia et al. 2011) between the isotropic \u3b3-ray background (IGRB) and different tracers of the large-scale structure of the universe, we update our results using 60 months of data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi). We perform a cross-correlation analysis both in configuration and spherical harmonics space between the IGRB and objects that may trace the astrophysical sources of the IGRB: QSOs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR6, the SDSS DR8 Main Galaxy Sample, luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the SDSS catalog, infrared-selected galaxies in the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and radio galaxies in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS). The benefit of correlating the Fermi-LAT signal with catalogs of objects at various redshifts is to provide tomographic information on the IGRB, which is crucial in separating the various contributions and clarifying its origin. The main result is that, unlike in our previous analysis, we now observe a significant (>3.5\u3c3) cross-correlation signal on angular scales smaller than 1\ub0in the NVSS, 2MASS, and QSO cases and, at lower statistical significance ( 3c3.0\u3c3), with SDSS galaxies. The signal is stronger in two energy bands, E > 0.5 GeV and E > 1 GeV, but it is also seen at E > 10 GeV. No cross-correlation signal is detected between Fermi data and the LRGs. These results are robust against the choice of the statistical estimator, estimate of errors, map cleaning procedure, and instrumental effects. Finally, we test the hypothesis that the IGRB observed by Fermi-LAT originates from the summed contributions of three types of unresolved extragalactic sources: BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs), flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), and star-forming galaxies (SFGs). We find that a model in which the IGRB is mainly produced by SFGs (% with 2\u3c3 errors), with BL Lacs and FSRQs giving a minor contribution, provides a good fit to the data. We also consider a possible contribution from misaligned active galactic nuclei, and we find that, depending on the details of the model and its uncertainty, they can also provide a substantial contribution, partly degenerate with the SFG one. \ua9 2015.

Mosquito Biodiversity Patterns Around Urban Environments in South-Central Okinawa Island, Japan
Okinawa is the largest, most urbanized, and densely populated island in the Ryukyus Archipelago, where mosquito species diversity has been thoroughly studied. However, the south-central Okinawa mosquito fauna has been relatively poorly studied. Here, we present results from a mosquito faunal survey in urban environments of Nishihara city, south-central Okinawa. Mosquitoes were sampled biweekly, from April 2007 to March 2008, at 3 different environments: a forest preserve, an animal farm, and a water reservoir. We employed 4 mosquito collection methods: 1) oviposition traps; 2) light traps; 3) sweep nets; and 4) larval surveys of tree holes, leaf axils, and artificial water containers. We collected a total of 568 adults and 10,270 larvae belonging to 6 genera and 13 species, including 6 species of medical importance: Aedes albopictus, Armigeres subalbatus, Anopheles Hyrcanus group, Culex bitaeniorhynchus, Cx. quinquefasciatus, and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus. Mosquito species composition was similar to data from previous studies in Okinawa Island. The flattening of the species accumulation curve suggests that our diversity sampling was exhaustive with light and oviposition traps, as well as the coincidence between the species richness we found in the field and estimates from the Chao2 index, a theoretical estimator of species richness based on species abundance. This study highlights the importance of combining several sampling techniques to properly characterize regional mosquito fauna and to monitor changes in the presence of mosquito species
THE SXDF-ALMA 2 arcmin<sup>2</sup> DEEP SURVEY:STACKING REST-FRAME NEAR-INFRARED SELECTED OBJECTS
We present stacking analyses on our ALMA deep 1.1 mm imaging in the SXDF
using 1.6 {\mu}m and 3.6 {\mu}m selected galaxies in the CANDELS WFC3 catalog.
We detect a stacked flux of ~0.03-0.05 mJy, corresponding to LIR < 10^11 Lsun
and a star formation rate (SFR) of ~ 15 Msun/yr at z = 2. We find that galaxies
brighter in the rest-frame near-infrared tend to be also brighter at 1.1 mm,
and galaxies fainter than m[3.6um] = 23 do not produce detectable 1.1 mm
emission. This suggests a correlation between stellar mass and SFR, but
outliers to this correlation are also observed, suggesting strongly boosted
star formation or extremely large extinction. We also find tendencies that
redder galaxies and galaxies at higher redshifts are brighter at 1.1 mm. Our
field contains z ~ 2.5 H-alpha emitters and a bright single-dish source.
However, we do not find evidence of bias in our results caused by the bright
source. By combining the fluxes of sources detected by ALMA and fluxes of faint
sources detected with stacking, we recover a 1.1 mm surface brightness of up to
20.3 +/- 1.2 Jy/deg, comparable to the extragalactic background light measured
by COBE. Based on the fractions of optically faint sources in our and previous
ALMA studies and the COBE measurements, we find that approximately half of the
cosmic star formation may be obscured by dust and missed by deep optical
surveys, Much deeper and wider ALMA imaging is therefore needed to better
constrain the obscured cosmic star formation history.Comment: accepted for publication in Ap
The Fermi-LAT high-latitude Survey: Source Count Distributions and the Origin of the Extragalactic Diffuse Background
This is the first of a series of papers aimed at characterizing the
populations detected in the high-latitude sky of the {\it Fermi}-LAT survey. In
this work we focus on the intrinsic spectral and flux properties of the source
sample. We show that when selection effects are properly taken into account,
{\it Fermi} sources are on average steeper than previously found (e.g. in the
bright source list) with an average photon index of 2.40 over the
entire 0.1--100\,GeV energy band. We confirm that FSRQs have steeper spectra
than BL Lac objects with an average index of 2.48 versus
2.18. Using several methods we build the deepest source count
distribution at GeV energies deriving that the intrinsic source (i.e. blazar)
surface density at F\,ph cm s is
0.12\,deg. The integration of the source count
distribution yields that point sources contribute 16\,\% (7\,\%
systematic uncertainty) of the GeV isotropic diffuse background. At the fluxes
currently reached by LAT we can rule out the hypothesis that point-like sources
(i.e. blazars) produce a larger fraction of the diffuse emission.Comment: Version replaced to match the published one. Contact authors: M.
