593   In most cases, a new parameter is added to PALM for one specific purpose.
594   \par\bigskip
595   Beyond this one purpose, each new parameter normally gives many other new feature/parameter combinations in PALM.
596   We are unable to check all these combinations by ourselves and rely on your help!
597   \par\bigskip
598%    For example, the combination of topography and non-cyclic lateral boundary conditions has not yet been tested
599%    because both features have originally been introduced separately for different research projects.
600%    \par\bigskip
601   Therefore, we ask you for your responsibility and contribution:
602   \begin{itemize}
603      \item{Please always check your PALM setup carefully. PALM is not a black box.} 
604      \item{For example, design a simple case and test your expectation.}
