   \par\medskip
   PALM's topography features have been frequently applied within the last years, but there may be still some parameter combinations which have not been used so far, and which may not work properly.
   \par\bigskip
%    For example, the combination of topography and non-cyclic lateral boundary conditions has not yet been tested 
%    because both features have originally been introduced separately for different research projects.
%    \par\bigskip 
   Therefore, we ask you for your responsibility and contribution:
   \begin{itemize}
      \item{Please always check your PALM setup carefully. PALM is not a black box.} 
      \item{For example, design a simple case and test your expectation.}
      \item{Please report potential bugs using our trouble ticket system.}
