   \footnotesize
   \par\medskip
   In most cases, a new parameter is added to PALM for one specific purpose.
   \par\bigskip
   Beyond this one purpose, each new parameter normally gives many other new feature/parameter combinations in PALM.
   We are unable to check all these combinations by ourselves and rely on your help!
   \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 – thank you!}
