 ### Bugfixes: 
 #### 1.10.3
 + Fixed bug in `get_single_behavior` and `get_single_base_behavior` where querying any cycle exit rate or cycle entry mistakenly returned -1. 
-
 + Corrected declaration of `standard_add_basement_membrane_interactions` in `PhysiCell_standard_models.h` to properly use phenotype by reference. Thank you Inês Gonçalves!
-
++ Removed the OpenMP pragma in `void Microenvironment::apply_dirichlet_conditions( void )` (around line 272) that tends to perform more poorly than serial code. 
+  
 #### 1.10.2
 + Fixed error in `double get_single_behavior()` where the `cell-cell adhesion elastic constant` behavior was not found.
