Phenomenon of multiple reentrant localization in a double-stranded helix with transverse electric field

The present work explores the potential for observing multiple reentrant localization behavior in a double-stranded helical (DSH) system, extending beyond the conventional nearest-neighbor hopping interaction. The DSH system is considered to have hopping dimerization in each strand, while also being subjected to a transverse electric field. The inclusion of an electric field serves the dual purpose of inducing quasiperiodic disorder and strand-wise staggered site energies. Two reentrant localization regions are identified: one exhibiting true extended behavior in the thermodynamic limit, while the second region shows quasi-extended characteristics with partial spreading within the helix. The DSH system exhibits three distinct single-particle mobility edges linked to localization transitions present in the system. The analysis in this study involves examining various parameters such as the single-particle energy spectrum, inverse participation ratio, local probability amplitude, and more. Our proposal, combining achievable hopping dimerization and induced correlated disorder, presents a unique opportunity to study phenomenon of reentrant localization, generating significant research interest.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, comments are Welcom

Gajah. Securing the Future for Elephants in India.

It is estimated that six in every ten wild Asian elephants live in India. This report by the Ministry of Environment and Forests in India outlines plans to safeguard the species and associated habitats in the face of rapid economic expansion and development pressures

Working with elephant mahouts : Insights from workshops on assessing the welfare status of mahouts belonging to Temples and Mutts in Karnataka

“Mahouts play a critical role in managing elephants; they form the first layer of communication with elephants. A study carried out to assess the welfare status of elephant and mahout identifies that among all the institutions keeping elephants, the welfare status of elephants in religious institutions was poor, showing a wide gap between the target of satisfactory welfare and existing status.

Ocular adverse effects of Topiramate: Two case reports

Topiramate, an antiepileptic drug is reported to cause various ocular adverse effects like acute onset myopia, glaucoma. Visual field defect is an uncommon, serious treatment emergent adverse effect. We are reporting two cases of suspected topiramate induced visual field defects

Database for Captive Elephants and their Mahouts in Karnataka: Protocol & Significance

“This document through the first section, describes the procedures and benefits of creating a profile for each animal and their mahout/cawadi in Karnataka.

Identification of an effective and robust model of elephant keeping and keeper welfare: Insights based on activity budget of elephants in captivity and mahout-elephant interaction in Karnataka

"This analysis tries to associate the connection between elephant activity budget and its influence on identifying welfare status of elephants in captivity. This analysis assumes that the welfare of an elephant cannot be seen in solitary and that understanding the interactions between an elephant and its mahout may offer deeper insights on the elephant’s welfare status.

Phenomenon of multiple reentrant localization in a double-stranded helix with transverse electric field

Abstract The present work explores the potential for observing multiple reentrant localization behavior in a double-stranded helical (DSH) system, extending beyond the conventional nearest-neighbor hopping (NNH) interaction. The DSH system is considered to have hopping dimerization in each strand, while also being subjected to a transverse electric field. The inclusion of an electric field serves the dual purpose of inducing quasi-periodic disorder and strand-wise staggered site energies. Two reentrant localization regions are identified: one exhibiting true extended behavior in the thermodynamic limit, while the second region shows quasi-extended characteristics with partial spreading within the helix. The DSH system exhibits three distinct single-particle mobility edges linked to localization transitions present in the system. The analysis in this study involves examining various parameters such as the single-particle energy spectrum, inverse participation ratio, local probability amplitude, and more. Our proposal, combining achievable hopping dimerization and induced correlated disorder, presents a unique opportunity to study phenomenon of reentrant localization, generating significant research interest

A comparative evaluation of retrievability of three different obturating systems using protaper universal rotary retreatment files: An in vitro cone-beam computed tomography analysis

Aim: The aim of this in-vitro study was to comparatively evaluate the ease of retreatment in canals, obturated through GuttaFlow 2, GuttaCore, and conventional Lateral compaction technique using ProTaper Universal Retreatment (PTUR) Files. Materials and Methods: Sixty single-rooted mandibular premolars were selected and the canals were instrumented with ProTaper Universal rotary files up to size #F3. Samples were randomly divided into three experimental groups of 20 teeth each and obturated using three different obturating systems (GROUP I-Lateral compaction technique, GROUP II-GuttaFlow 2, GROUP III-GuttaCore). All the groups underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis following which retrieval of the previous root canal filling was done using the PTUR files. Post retreatment CBCT images were used to assess the amount of remaining obturating material at varying depths (3 mm, 6 mm, and 12 mm) for all three groups. Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance and ANOVA. Results: Irrespective of the obturating system used, filling material could not be removed completely from the root canal walls. Significantly more amount of obturating material was observed in the apical third than the middle third and coronal third of the root canal space (P < 0.05). When comparing the groups, the maximum percentage of remaining obturating material was seen in Group III (GuttaCore) followed by Group I (lateral compaction), with the least being observed in Group II (GuttaFlow2). Conclusion: The GuttaCore technique utilizing carrier-based gutta-percha had the maximum amount of remaining obturating material after retreatment when compared to the GuttaFlow2 and Lateral Compaction techniques
