During the checking process, a number of geometry properties (e.g. building gross volume, size and orientation of boundary surfaces) are calculated on base of the geometrical representations.
From a crystallographic perspective, the energy landscape depends both on the misorientation and the boundary-plane orientation of grain boundaries (GBs).
In fact, the effective grain boundary area decreased upon addition of S and SN, accompanied by preferred perpendicular orientation of the boundaries with respect to the substrate, which is known to minimize the overall grain boundary energy30.
In a cube-oriented crystal, this boundary construction process does not limit the orientation of allowable boundary planes.
To calculate these effective proportions, we subtracted the angular distribution of all cell boundaries from the angular distribution of cell cell connections that were lost or gained by cell rearrangements, revealing the orientation of cell boundaries with a disproportionate tendency to be lost or gained.
This allows the equilibrium requirement which restricts the orientation of the boundaries at a triple point to be satisfied.
Discrepancies, as for Sumatra Java, emerge due to missing geometric (e.g., occurrence of fault systems and local changes in the orientation of plate boundaries) and rheological (e.g., plasticity associated with slab bending, anisotropy) complexities in the models.
For rows of cells to slide past each other, cells would have to undergo a peculiar type of T1 transition in which the orientation of the boundaries gained and lost are similar.
The first two degrees of freedom are the 2D locations of the receptive field's centre; the third is the size of the receptive field; the fourth is the orientation of the boundaries separating excitatory and inhibitory regions; and the fifth is the symmetry.
However, like for most EBMs – also known as immersed boundary methods – the performance of FIVER in the vicinity of a wall boundary can be sensitive with respect to the position and orientation of this boundary relative to the embedding mesh.
