The addition of a topologically massive term to an admittedly nonunitary three-dimensional massive model, be it an electromagnetic system or a gravitational one, does not cure its nonunitarity. What about the enlargement of avowedly unitary massive models by way of a topologically massive term? The electromagnetic models remain unitary after the topological augmentation but, surprisingly enough, the gravitational ones have their unitarity spoiled. Here we analyze these issues and present the explanation why unitary massive gravitational models, unlike unitary massive electromagnetic ones, cannot coexist from the viewpoint of unitarity with topologically massive terms. We also discuss the novel features of the three-term effective field models that are gauge-invariant.

Purpose This paper aims to demonstrate the benefits of using different impeder materials for induction tube welding systems. Design/methodology/approach To show the difference in using various impeder materials, a new approach was taken to model tube welding systems in two and three dimensions. Three-dimensional (3-D) electromagnetic models were used to determine the current distribution along the weld vee as well as the permeability of the tube along the length of the welding system. Two-dimensional (2-D) coupled electromagnetic plus thermal models with rotational movement were used to determine the temperature distribution in the heat-affected zone. Findings Simulation results suggest upwards of 25 per cent system power savings when using a soft magnetic composite (SMC) impeder rather than the traditional ferrites. Research limitations/implications There is currently a lack of experimental data to validate the models, but future work will include comparison of models to real-world trials. Practical implications When dealing with tube welding systems, there are possibilities to improve process efficiency or increase production quality and output by improving the impeder material. Originality/value While simulations of tube welding systems have been done previously, studies on improving impeder materials are rarely carried out. This paper brings to light possible improvements to be made to induction tube welding systems.

The nondestructive, non-contact, three-dimensional evaluation of optical glass has been important to the manufacturing of high-precision optical components. In order to achieve high-precision nondestructive evaluation of optical heterogeneity, we develop a versatile evaluation system using the parallel phase- shift digital holography, which enables measurements of the optical path differences at a nanometer-scale resolution. The amplitude and phase distributions of the object wave can be reconstructed directly from a single hologram by using the parallel phase-shift digital holography system. The optical heterogeneity of a sample is determined quantitatively based on the distribution of the optical path differences quantitatively.
