The Straightening Identity in the Universal Enveloping Algebra of the Heisenberg Algebra
This work aims to formulate and prove the nontrivial straightening identity in the universal enveloping algebra of the Heisenberg algebra. This identity is a special case of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula, but was proven using a new proof method of double induction. This general formula is applicable for straightening identities in many different Lie algebras, one application being the Onsager algebra of sl4

High-Impact Practices in the First Year: Access and Quality for Underserved Students.
This study investigates two HIPs in the first year of college, a significant time of transition, focusing on levels of quality and barriers to participation for underserved students. Results indicate that significant barriers to participation persist, particularly for those from underserved backgrounds. When they do participate, some underserved students report higher quality HIPs, suggesting additional benefits. These results highlight the importance of attention to both barriers and quality for HIPs to fulfill their potential for students of all backgrounds
Structure Matters: Mentored Research Experiences and Their Impact on Black Students in STEM.
The author uses qualitative methods to examine a mentored research experience at a national lab in the United States and its impact on Black students in STEM. An analysis of the data revealed that participation increased their interest in pursuing a career in STEM, expanded their professional network, and enhanced their skills. Despite the lack of mentors with the same demographic background, participants described the experience and environment as positive exposing them to new cultures and knowledge. Overall, findings highlight the important role that structured mentoring experiences play in the development of future STEM professionals of color
