description: We have analyzed the archival XMM-Newton data of the bright Ultra-Luminous X-ray Source (ULX) M82 X-1 with an 105 ksec exposure when the source was in the steady state. Thanks to the high photon statistics from the large effective area and long exposure, we were able to discriminate different X-ray continuum spectral models. Neither the standard accretion disk model (where the radial dependency of the disk effective temperature is T(r) \propto r^-3/4) nor a power-law model gives a satisfactory fit. In fact, observed curvature of the M82 X-1 spectrum was just between those of the two models. When the exponent of the radial dependence (p in T(r) \propto r^-p) of the disk temperature is allowed to be free, we obtained p =0.61^+0.03_-0.02. Such a reduction of p from the standard value 3/4 under extremely high mass accretion rates is predicted from the accretion disk theory as a consequence of the radial energy advection. Thus, the accretion disk in M82 X-1 is considered to be in the Slim disk state, where an optically thick Advection Dominant Accretion Flow (ADAF) is taking place. We have applied a theoretical slim disk spectral model to M82 X-1, and estimated the black hole mass ~ 19-32 M_odot. We propose that M82 X-1 is a relatively massive stellar black hole which has been produced through evolution of an extremely massive star, shining at a super-Eddington luminosity by several times the Eddington limit.

description: We study quench dynamics and defect production in the Kitaev and the extended Kitaev models. For the Kitaev model in one dimension, we show that in the limit of slow quench rate, the defect density n \sim 1/\sqrtτ where 1/τis the quench rate. We also compute the defect correlation function by providing an exact calculation of all independent non-zero spin correlation functions of the model. In two dimensions, where the quench dynamics takes the system across a critical line, we elaborate on the results of earlier work [K. Sengupta, D. Sen and S. Mondal, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 077204 (2008)] to discuss the unconventional scaling of the defect density with the quench rate. In this context, we outline a general proof that for a d dimensional quantum model, where the quench takes the system through a d-m dimensional gapless (critical) surface characterized by correlation length exponent νand dynamical critical exponent z, the defect density n \sim 1/τ^{m ν/(z ν+1)}. We also discuss the variation of the shape and the spatial extent of the defect correlation function with the change of both the rate of quench and the model parameters and compute the entropy generated during such a quench process. Finally, we study the defect scaling law, entropy generation and defect correlation function of the two-dimensional extended Kitaev model.

description: Strain localization is an instability phenomenon occurring in deformable solid materials which undergo dissipative deformation mechanisms. Such instability is characterized by the localization of the displacement or velocity fields in a zone of finite thickness and is generally associated with the failure of materials. In several fields of material engineering and natural sciences, estimating the thickness of localized deformation is required to make accurate predictions of the evolution of the physical properties within localized strain regions and of the material strength. In this context, scientists and engineers often rely on numerical modeling techniques to study strain localization in solid materials. However, classical continuum theory for elasto-plastic materials fails at estimating strain localization thicknesses due to the lack of an internal length in the model constitutive laws. In this study, we investigate at which conditions multiphysics coupling enables to regularize the problem of strain localization using rate-dependent plasticity. We show that coupling the constitutive laws for deformation to a single generic diffusion-reaction equation representing a dissipative state variable can be sufficient to regularize the ill-posed problem under some conditions on the softening parameters in the plastic potential. We demonstrate in these cases how rate-dependent plasticity and multiphysics coupling can lead to material instabilities depicting one or several internal length scales controlled by the physical parameters resulting in the formation of regular or erratic patterns. As we consider a general form of the equations, the results presented in this study can be applied to a large panel of examples in the material engineering and geosciences communities.

description: As urban areas continue to grow, the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure becomes crucial for sustainable development. This study is focused on the development of a data visualization tool that integrates diverse datasets, including traffic patterns, Points of Interest (POI), pollution levels, and socioeconomic indicators, to analyze the current state and potential expansion of EV charging stations. Our visualization tool highlights the significant impact of EV infrastructure on reducing urban pollution and improving socioeconomic outcomes. Areas with a higher density of charging stations show significantly lower levels of unemployment and pollution, emphasizing the dual benefits of EV adoption. Additionally, our tool visualizes vehicle mix on urban pollution, marking specific vehicle types as most impactful for electrification efforts by road segment and community. Our tool helps inform and support equitable and effective decisions in planning and implementing EV infrastructure, ensuring that the benefits are evenly distributed across all urban populations.

description: We propose to investigate the in-medium properties of vector $ω$ mesons at the normal nuclear density in Ap(pA) collisions and at higher density in AA collisions at the ITEP accelerator facility TWAC. Using of the inverse Ap kinematics will permit us to study the $ω$ meson production in a wide momentum interval included the not yet explored range of small meson momenta relative to the projectile nuclei where the mass modification effect in nuclear matter is expected to be the strongest. Momentum dependence of the in-medium $ω$ meson width will be studied in the traditional pA kinematics. We intend to use the electromagnetic calorimeter for reconstruction of the $ω$ meson invariant mass by detecting photons from the $ω\to π^{0}γ\to 3γ$ decay. The model calculations and simulations with RQMD generator show feasibility of the proposed experiment. Available now intensity of the ion beams provides a possibility to collect large statistics and make decisive conclusion about the $ω$ meson properties at density of normal nuclei. At the second stage of the investigation the $ω$ meson properties will be studied in AA collisions at higher density. Interpretation of these measurements will be based on the results obtained in Ap(pA) interactions. Further investigation of the in-medium properties of light unflavored and charmed mesons can be performed at ITEP and at GSI(FAIR) where higher ion energies will be accessible in near future.

description: Many simplicial complexes arising in practice have an associated metric space structure on the vertex set but not on the complex, e.g. the Vietoris-Rips complex in applied topology. We formalize a remedy by introducing a category of simplicial metric thickenings whose objects have a natural realization as metric spaces. The properties of this category allow us to prove that, for a large class of thickenings including Vietoris-Rips and Cech thickenings, the product of metric thickenings is homotopy equivalent to the metric thickenings of product spaces, and similarly for wedge sums.

description: The Anderson Impurity Model (AIM) is a canonical model of quantum many-body physics. Here we investigate whether machine learning models, both neural networks (NN) and kernel ridge regression (KRR), can accurately predict the AIM spectral function in all of its regimes, from empty orbital, to mixed valence, to Kondo. To tackle this question, we construct two large spectral databases containing approximately 410k and 600k spectral functions of the single-channel impurity problem. We show that the NN models can accurately predict the AIM spectral function in all of its regimes, with point-wise mean absolute errors down to 0.003 in normalized units. We find that the trained NN models outperform models based on KRR and enjoy a speedup on the order of $10^5$ over traditional AIM solvers. The required size of the training set of our model can be significantly reduced using furthest point sampling in the AIM parameter space, which is important for generalizing our method to more complicated multi-channel impurity problems of relevance to predicting the properties of real materials.

Obstacles to collective action in socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods : toward a radical planning theory of community crime prevention
Creators: name: Schneider, Stephen R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation examines the capacity of socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods to collectively mobilize around a significant local problem, in this case crime. The problem addressed is the inability of community crime prevention (CCP) programs to promote a broadly based mobilization of residents in socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This study advances CCP scholarship by identifying and critically examining the obstacles that impede the mobilization of poor neighbourhoods around crime prevention. Based upon primary research conducted in a poor inner-city Vancouver neighbourhood, this study reveals that CCP programs have been unable to initiate and sustain a broadly based mobilization of local residents, despite a widespread concern over crime. The findings of this study reveal myriad factors that obstruct a mobilization of Mount Pleasant residents. These obstacles can be discerned at three levels: the community, the organizational and the structural. Obstacles at the community level can be identified by examining the demographic and sociopsychological factors related to non-participation, such as socioeconomic status, race, tenure of residence, social integration, and community cohesion. Organizational obstacles stem from the deficiencies of crime prevention groups and activities in promoting collective action, including inappropriate and ineffectual community outreach. Obstacles to collective action are rooted in the dominant institutions and ideologies of advanced western societies: individualism, the liberal political economy, the dominance of the state in social control, and technical approaches to local social problem solving. The iiiobstacles at the three levels are not mutually exclusive, but critically interconnected. A finding of the study is that the application of traditional CCP theory has failed to incite a broadly based mobilization of Mount Pleasant residents because of epistemological shortcomings, erroneous assumptions, and a lack of attention to processes essential to CCP. To overcome the obstacles, this study reconceptualizes CCP, emphasizing strategies that empower poor neighbourhoods. First, CCP is reconceptualized as a social movement so that its collective action processes can be isolated and the obstacles to a broadly based mobilization better understood. Second, CCP is imbued with radical planning theories that provide normative process-oriented strategies missing from traditional CCP theory, including: social mobilization, social learning, undistorted communication, and decentralized decision-making and control.

description: Motivated by the ongoing interest in nitrides as materials for spintronics applications we have studied effects of doping with magnetic transition-metal elements (T=Cr,Mn,Fe,Co and Ni) on the electronic properties of semiconducting scandium nitride. Using density functional together with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as well as PBE0r hybrid functional (with different mixing of the exact exchange), two different doping amounts 25\% ($\rm Sc_{0.75}T_{0.25}N$) and 10\% ($\rm Sc_{0.9}T_{0.1}N$) have been investigated. This is done in comparison to the reference compound ScN with a strong focus on identifying candidates for half-metallic or semiconducting ferromagnetic ground states. Within GGA, only $\rm Sc_{0.75}Cr_{0.25}N$ and $\rm Sc_{0.75}Mn_{0.25}N$ are found to be semiconducting and half-metallic, respectively. The use of hybrid functional changes drastically these finding, where $\rm Sc_{0.75}Fe(Co,Ni)_{0.25}N$ become half-metals and $\rm Sc_{0.75}Cr(Mn)_{0.25}N$ are found both semiconductors. However, additional calculations assuming antiferromagnetic ordering revealed that $\rm Sc_{0.75}Cr_{0.25}N$ is the only compound of this series, which prefers an antiferromagnetic (and semiconducting) ground state. For the lower concentration, $\rm Sc_{0.9}T_{0.1}N$, similar results have been predicted, and all the doped nitrides are found to prefer ferromagnetic ground state over an antiferromagnetic one.

description: Magnetic nanoparticles of gamma-Fe2O3 coated by organic molecules and suspended in liquid and solid matrices, as well as a non-diluted magnetic fluid have been studied by electron magnetic resonance (EMR) at 77-380 K. Slightly asymmetric spectra observed at room temperature become much broader, symmetric, and shift to lower fields upon cooling. An additional narrow spectral component (with the line-width of 30 G) is found in the diluted samples, its magnitude obeying the Arrhenius law with the activation temperature of about 850 K. The longitudinal spin-relaxation time, T1 >> 10 ns, was determined by the specially developed modulation method. Angular dependence of the EMR signal position in field-freezing samples unambiguously points to the domination of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. Substantial alignment is achieved in moderate freezing fields of 4-5 kG, suggesting formation of dipolar-coupled chains consisting from several particles separated by organic nanolayers. The shift and broadening of the spectrum upon cooling are ascribed to the role of the surface layer, which is considered with taking into acount the strong surface-related anisotropy. To describe the overall spectrum shape, a quantization model is used which includes summation of the resonances corresponding to varios orientations of the particle magnetic moment. This approach, supplemented with some phenomenological assumptions, provides satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.

description: Lattice-type structures can provide a combination of stiffness with light weight that is desirable in a variety of applications. Design optimization of these structures must rely on approximations of the governing physics to render solution of a mathematical model feasible. In this paper, we propose a topology optimization (TO) formulation that approximates the governing physics using component-wise reduced order modeling, which can reduce solution time by multiple orders of magnitude over a full-order finite element model while providing a relative error in the solution of less than one percent. In addition, the offline training data set from such component-wise models is reusable, allowing its application to many design problems for only the cost of a single offline training phase, and the component-wise method is nearly embarrassingly parallel. We also show how the parameterization chosen in our optimization allows a simplification of the component-wise reduced order model (CWROM) not noted in previous literature, for further speedup of the optimization process. The sensitivity of the compliance with respect to the particular parameterization is derived solely in the component level. In numerical examples, we demonstrate a 1000x speedup over a full-order FEM model with relative error of less than one percent and show minimum compliance designs for two different cantilever beam examples, one smaller and one larger. Finally, error bounds for displacement field, compliance, and compliance sensitivity of the CWROM are derived.

description: The study aims to provide information on the distribution of limno-terrestrial tardigrades in Bulgaria. In the period between February 2015 and July 2015 134 moss and lichen samples were collected from Upper Thracian Lowland, Sredna gora, Rhodopes and Strandhza Mountains. 103 of them were positive for tardigrades, 29 specimens were indentified to species-level and 412 to genus-level. 63 specimens were not indentified due to poor preservation. First data on limno-terrestrial tardigrades for Sredna Gora and Strandzha Mts., and Stara Zagora city was provided. At least 4 species of Milnesium were registered. Our preliminary results stress that the Bulgarian tardigrade fauna is poorly known and needs more detailed future studies.

description: In the two-dimensional superfluidity, the proliferation of the vortices and the anti-vortices results in a new class of phase transition, Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. This class of the phase transitions is also anticipated in the two-dimensional magnetic systems. However, its existence in the real magnetic systems still remains mysterious. Here we propose a phenomenological model to illustrate that the novel spin-freezing transition recently uncovered in the NMR experiment on the NiGa_2S_4 compound is the BKT-type. The novel spin-freezing state observed in the NiGa_2S_4 possesses the power-law decayed spin correlation.

description: The cycling of carbon (C) between the Earth surface and the atmosphere is controlled by biological and abiotic processes that regulate C storage in biogeochemical compartments and release to the atmosphere. This partitioning is quantified using various forms of C-use efficiency (CUE) - the ratio of C remaining in a system to C entering that system. Biological CUE is the fraction of C taken up allocated to biosynthesis. In soils and sediments, C storage depends also on abiotic processes, so the term C-storage efficiency (CSE) can be used. Here we first review and reconcile CUE and CSE definitions proposed for autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms and communities, food webs, whole ecosystems and watersheds, and soils and sediments using a common mathematical framework. Second, we identify general CUE patterns; for example, the actual CUE increases with improving growth conditions, and apparent CUE decreases with increasing turnover. We then synthesize > 5000CUE estimates showing that CUE decreases with increasing biological and ecological organization - from uni-cellular to multicellular organisms and from individuals to ecosystems. We conclude that CUE is an emergent property of coupled biological-abiotic systems, and it should be regarded as a flexible and scale-dependent index of the capacity of a given system to effectively retain C.

description: We identify a light echo candidate from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of NGC 2441, the host galaxy of the Type Ia supernova 1995E. From the echo's angular size and the estimated distance to the host galaxy, we find a distance of 207 +/- 35 pc between the dust and the site of the supernova. If confirmed, this echo brings the total number of observed non-historical Type Ia light echoes to three -- the others being SN 1991T and SN 1998bu -- suggesting they are not uncommon. We compare the properties of the known Type Ia supernova echoes and test models of light echoes developed by Patat et al. (2005). HST photometry of the SN 1991T echo shows a fading which is consistent with scattering by dust distributed in a sphere or shell around the supernova. Light echoes have the potential to answer questions about the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae and more effort should be made for their detection given the importance of Type Ia supernovae to measurements of dark energy.

description: Mereology is the study of parts and the relationships that hold between them. We introduce a behavioral approach to mereology, in which systems and their parts are known only by the types of behavior they can exhibit. Our discussion is formally topos-theoretic, and agnostic to the topos, providing maximal generality; however, by using only its internal logic we can hide the details and readers may assume a completely elementary set-theoretic discussion. We consider the relationship between various parts of a whole in terms of how behavioral constraints are passed between them, and give an inter-modal logic that generalizes the usual alethic modalities in the setting of symmetric accessibility.

description: Introduction and Objectives: Incompetence schemas, automatic thoughts and affective states have been described as maintenance factors for female sexual dysfunction. Current study aims to analyze the mediator role of automatic thoughts and affective states in the relationship between incompetence schemas and sexual functioning, in women with different sexual orientations.

Conclusions: Overall, failure thoughts, lack of erotic thoughts and positive affect were significant mediators in the relationship between incompetence schemas and female sexual functioning. Similarities between lesbian and heterosexual women sexual functioning were emphasized.

description: This study evaluated if levels of change in mental health, conflict resolution, support, and companionship differed between sociodemographic groups who participated in a blended family relationship education program. Regarding individual mental health, females who were students improved more than non-students and those who had a bachelor’s or advanced degree improved more than those with a high school education or less. Male mental health across sociodemographic groups tended to be worse at posttest than baseline. Among couples, conflict improved more for those who were married and the female partner had a bachelor’s or advanced degree, were low income and female partners had an advanced degree, and lower income couples had better change scores as age increased. Relationship companionship improved most among lower income couples who owned a home and higher income couples who did not own a home. These findings identify that participants from some sociodemographic subgroups improve more or less than others. Potential client and Smart Step program characteristics that may explain these differences are discussed, including future directions for how to further identify who benefits most in RE and how to improve outcomes for a wider range of participants.

description: In this work, we propose a Crank-Nicolson-type scheme with variable steps for the time fractional Allen-Cahn equation. The proposed scheme is shown to be unconditionally stable (in a variational energy sense), and is maximum bound preserving. Interestingly, the discrete energy stability result obtained in this paper can recover the classical energy dissipation law when the fractional order $α\rightarrow 1.$ That is, our scheme can asymptotically preserve the energy dissipation law in the $α\rightarrow 1$ limit. This seems to be the first work on variable time-stepping scheme that can preserve both the energy stability and the maximum bound principle. Our Crank-Nicolson scheme is build upon a reformulated problem associated with the Riemann-Liouville derivative. As a by product, we build up a reversible transformation between the L1-type formula of the Riemann-Liouville derivative and a new L1-type formula of the Caputo derivative, with the help of a class of discrete orthogonal convolution kernels. This is the first time such a \textit{discrete} transformation is established between two discrete fractional derivatives. We finally present several numerical examples with an adaptive time-stepping strategy to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

description: We find large classes of non-asymptotically flat Einstein-Yang-Mills-Dilaton (EYMD) and Einstein-Yang-Mills-Born-Infeld-Dilaton (EYMBID) black holes in N-dimensional spherically symmetric spacetime expressed in terms of the quasilocal mass. Extension of the dilatonic YM solution to N-dimensions has been possible by employing the generalized Wu-Yang ansatz. Another metric ansatz, which aided in finding exact solutions is the functional dependence of the radius function on the dilaton field. These classes of black holes are stable against linear radial perturbations. In the limit of vanishing dilaton we obtain Bertotti-Robinson (BR) type metrics with the topology of $AdS_{2}\times S^{N-2}.$ Since connection can be established between dilaton and a scalar field of Brans-Dicke (BD) type we obtain black hole solutions also in the Brans-Dicke-Yang-Mills (BDYM) theory as well.

Using aphrodisiac foods and sensual meals to create a body-mind foundation for a sustained and thriving sex life
Creators: name: Villers, Linda De
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: Contemporary eating habits, including both what is typically eaten and how, pose significant obstacles to a sustained and thriving sex life. Popular foods, especially convenience foods and sugared drinks, sabotage a thriving sex life in a variety of ways. They contribute to numerous physical conditions that compromise sexual function, including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and other serious threats to physical health.  With their focus on brief and “mindless” eating, they also undermine a pleasure-driven appreciation of the all of the senses. This often carries over to a similar, “mindless” approach to sexual connection.

This presentation includes highlights from the results of two online 21st Century Aphrodisiac surveys that reveal knowledge about, and attitudes towards, aphrodisiac foods, as well as elements of an aphrodisiac meal. The surveys also included attitudes towards partners who expressed interest in cooking and enjoying meals together.

It also draws from extensive peer-reviewed research that discovered the lore and sexy nutrients of 88 different foods, herbs, spices, and beverages with aphrodisiac reputations for the writing of Simple Sexy Food ™ and from recent, major studies demonstrating “placebo effects”  are characterized by well-documented changes in physiology as well as psychological effects, contradicting dismissive, traditional view that such effects are “all-in-the-mind.”

The thesis is that couples who make and sensuously share meals featuring foods with aphrodisiac reputations – or foods couples perceive as aphrodisiac or “sexy”– creates greater intimacy and relationship satisfaction, increases the quality of their sexual connection, and also contributes to their sexual health and general health.

description: With the increased interest in machine learning, and deep learning in particular, the use of automatic differentiation has become more wide-spread in computation. There have been two recent developments to provide the theoretical support for this types of structure. One approach, due to Abadi and Plotkin, provides a simple differential programming language. Another approach is the notion of a reverse differential category. In the present paper we bring these two approaches together. In particular, we show how an extension of reverse derivative categories models Abadi and Plotkin's language, and describe how this categorical model allows one to consider potential improvements to the operational semantics of the language.

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: Introduction and Objectives: Sexual desire discrepancies have been associated with sexual and relationship dissatisfaction. However, research was conducted systematically with heterosexual samples. Also, only one study has focused on problematic sexual desire discrepancies and sexual satisfaction. Therefore, current study aims to analyze the differences on sexual satisfaction and relationship adjustment, in men and women, with different sexual orientation (heterosexual vs. homosexual), according to desire discrepancy levels (no discrepancy, with non-problematic discrepancy, and with problematic discrepancy).

Conclusions: Overall, current findings emphasize the role of problematic desire discrepancy, in both sexual and dyadic satisfaction, in men and women with different sexual orientation.
Hypersonic flow control via the use of off-axis energy deposition: application to the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile

description: Laser energy deposition provides a potential means for supersonic and hypersonic flight control where control surface actuation may not be feasible. While on-axis applications have been noted to provide wave drag reduction, the use of off-axis energy deposition is novel and detailed herein through application to the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile, a known hypersonic missile of the Russian Federation Air Force. A transient, three-dimensional computational investigation was conducted to examine the effects of a pulsed, off-axis energy deposition localized upstream of the Kinzhal missile cruising at Mach 6 sea-level conditions. A perfect gas model was utilized for the inviscid and turbulent runs performed in this study. The physics associated with the interaction of the energy discharge with the shock-expansion system of the Kinzhal missile at two off-axis positions is detailed along with effects of the interactions on the side force, drag force, and pitching moment coefficients, respectively. Comparison to MissileDATCOM (v97) was conducted to provide a quantitative measure of control surface actuation to be compared against the computational results.
Galaxy Tool World Progression:happier developers, happier users
Creators: name: Čech, Martin

description: The Galaxy Project provides a free platform for domain agnostic data intensive research. The number of Galaxy instances maintained around the globe is continuously rising (the yearly number of public servers starting 7/2011: 15-20-35-60-73) often being in very diverse settings (compare e.g. GalaxyP, deepTools, CoSSci, Oqtans, VirAmp, Osiris) ultimately bringing more users with wider demands to the project. This presents substantial challenges in tool development, testing, discovery, and distribution.
Galaxy uses the Tool Shed (TS) as an App Store-like platform for tool exploration and deployment with reproducible workflow sharing support. Today the TS contains more than 3,400 tools from different areas of computational research and a vigorous community is maintaining and revising these tools.
Driven by community feedback solicited via questionnaire we identified and focused on the areas that would benefit the most from improvements:
Tool Shed - by providing integration with Jenkins and Github we have simplified and automated the tool publishing process.
Tool testing - we built the CLI toolkit Planemo that makes tool creation and testing dramatically easier.
Tool discovery - we have rewritten search from the ground up to allow deployers to identify high quality tools more easily.
A community based commission (IUC) is maintaining a best practice guide to address the first issue and define high quality standards for Galaxy tools3.
We also present Planemo – command-line utility that targets the tool complexity problem and can help the developer boost productivity and improve quality of products. It streamlines the tool development process in general because it enables the developers to create high-class Galaxy tools and lowers the barrier to integrate their tools resulting in more unified interfaces and improved software quality.
Jenkins build scripts leveraging Planemo have been developed to automate testing and deployment of tool repositories providing vital feedback by posting the results back to GitHub. The scripts can also automatically deploy tool repositories to the TS reducing the overhead of managing large number of tools.
We firmly believe the presented work will enable the Galaxy community to scale up its already incredible contributions and boost collaboration.

description: Generally, open string boundary conditions play a nontrivial role in string theory. For example, in the presence of an antisymmetric tensor background field, they will lead the spacetime coordinates noncommutative. In this paper, we mainly discuss how to build up a generalized Dirichlet normal ordered product of open bosonic string embedding operators that satisfies both the equations of motion and the generalized Dirichlet boundary conditions at the quantum level in the presence of an antisymmetric background field, as the generalized Neumann case has already been discussed in the literature. Further, we also give a brief check of the consistency of the theory under the newly introduced normal ordering.
