Furthermore, gradual divergence of the internal remodeling rate,
differences in the trigger time, reversal of the change of the rate of sur-
face remodeling, and different cessation times can also be seen in this case
due to the inhomogeneous distribution of the environmental stimulus, as
in the case of transverse pressure. However, an electrical field seems to
