45. While for the parameters used in this paper the low-lying eigenstates are localized in the thermodynamic limit, in the following we consider systems sizes smaller than the localization length.

54. The raising of δ n π z for Δ Δ is apparent for the case (I), as shown in the upper left panel of Fig. 7. For the other cases we do not show pertinent data, as this is not the main point we are concerned with.
