(color online) The relative contributions of regions separated by BL–bulk (a) and side–mid (b) separations to total TDR as functions of Ra. All 2D cases are indicated by red markers while they are blue for quasi-2D cases. The contribution from BL or side regions is indicated by stars and that from bulk or mid regions is indicated by diamonds.
