Ellison\u27s Hemingway
No full textThe Selected Letters of Ralph Ellison, published in 2019, along with the essays in Shadow and Act (1964), reveal Ernest Hemingway to have been a major preoccupation for the author of Invisible Man. While Ellison did acknowledge that Hemingway once served as the true father-as-artist of so many of us who came to writing during the late thirties, Hemingway\u27s influence on Ellison was, however, neither simple nor direct. Instead, Hemingway allowed Ellison a way to think about questions of influence : about technique, about producing emotion, and, above all, about how an artist might grapple with America\u27s great moral theme

Rejections and the Importance of First Response Times (Or: How Many Rejections Do Others Receive?)
No full textPrevious studies about the academic publishing process consider the publication delay as starting from the submission to the publishing journal. This ignores the potential delay caused by rejections received from previous journals. Knowing how many times papers are submitted prior to publication is essential for evaluating the importance of different publication delays and the refereeing process cost, and can improve our decisions about if and how the review process should be altered, decisions that affect the productivity of economists and other scholars. Using numerical analysis and evidence on acceptance rates of various journals, I estimate that most manuscripts are submitted between three and six times prior to publication. This implies that the first response time (the time between submission and first editorial decision) is much more important than other parts of the publication delay, suggesting important policy implications for editors and referees.academic-publishing-process; turnaround-time; academic- journals; review-process; publication-delay; rejections

Outstanding Junior Investigator Award. Final report
No full textThe OJI supported research of J. Ellison has been concentrated in two areas: study of W{gamma} and Z{gamma} production at the Tevatron, which probes the trilinear boson coupling; design, fabrication and testing of silicon microstrip detectors for the D0 upgrade silicon tracking system. The W{gamma} analysis using data from the first D0 run ({approximately}14 pb{sup {minus}1} integrated luminosity) has been completed - J. Ellison and a postdoctoral research working with him (B. Choudhary) were responsible for the muon channel analysis. This analysis is an important test of the Standard Model (SM), since it probes the nature of the WW{gamma} coupling, which is related to the W boson magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments. Any deviation from the SM value of the WW{gamma} coupling would be an indication of either composite structure of the W or higher order loop corrections involving physics beyond the SM. The analysis has resulted in the world`s most sensitive limits on the WW{gamma} coupling parameters. In addition the author has also worked on an analysis of Z{gamma} production which has yielded sensitive limits on the ZZ{gamma} and Z{gamma}{gamma} couplings. The work on the D0 Silicon Tracker has also made very good progress. The team led by J. Ellison includes two postdoctoral researchers (A. Bischoff and C. Boswell), one graduate student (M. Mason) and three undergraduate students. They have fully evaluated proptotype detectors which were designed at UCR and have completed a detailed simulation study of the detector performance for different strip geometries. The results were used to optimize the design of the final D0 detectors, for which UR has sole responsibility. The author has completed the mask design for the 3-chip barrel detectors and production of the final detectors as now begun
Herdwick Common
No full textIn 2015 Ellison was invited by fashion brand owner ‘Cherchbi’ Adam Atkinson to publish a book about Herdwick wool a raw material of the rug sacks Cherchbi produced.
The subsequent book, Herdwick Common was published under the brand publishing imprint, as a 98-page photo book with accompanying essay from acclaimed author, James Rebanks,
(The Shepherd's Life: A Tale of the Lake District). When reading into Herdwick sheep, something I discovered was ‘heft’ - A place where the sheep were rooted to by birth and returned to instinctively. This is something author James Rebanks has written about in his publication ‘A Shepherds Life’ a retelling of life spent as a farmer near Penrith. His book content and title inspired by W.H. Hudson ‘A Shepherds Life’ tells a passionate account of the up and downs of growing up as a farmer.
Research Imperatives
Ellison explores the cultural and symbolic significance of sheep on the region of Cumbria. The oldest reference to sheep kept in the Lake District is in documents dating from the 13th Century when the Cistercian monks of Furness Abbey near Barrow and Fountains Abbey near York farmed large areas. The documents simply make reference to the use of the short, coarse hair of the sheep for their habits. There is no mention of Herdwick although short, coarse hair may be a clue to one of the characteristics of an early hill breed.
Ellison began by researching the name ‘Herdwick', thought to derive from Herdvyck, Norse for ‘sheep pasture’. This has led some to believe that the breed was, maybe, brought into the country in the 8th and 9th centuries by Norse invaders from what are modern Denmark, western Sweden and Norway. More likely though, they were named Herdwick simply because most Lake District farms had land for sheep and were referred to as ‘herdwicks’. So the sheep adopted their name from the farms. The breed seems to have changed somewhat over the past two centuries to what we accept today as the Herdwick. Drawings and prints from the 19th century seem to indicate a taller and less stocky version of what we have in the 21st
century.
The book brings together an essay by James Rebanks, a story told from within alongside of series of photographic portraits that tie together this ancient rural livelihood
Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis in Skeletally Immature Patients: The Modified Ellison Technique
No full textBackground: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is an increasingly common injury in the young population. Unfortunately, reinjury rates in this population following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are also very high. As such, lateral extra-articular procedures have been proposed to augment ACLR and shown to reduce reinjury rates. Most techniques use a strip of iliotibial band (ITB) fixed proximally on the distal femur in close proximity to the lateral femoral epicondyle, which in the skeletally immature patient may be closely associated with the distal femoral physis. In addition, there is also a risk of convergence with the femoral tunnel for the ACLR. The modified Ellison technique avoids both of these risks given it is a distally based tenodesis with its fixation point on the proximal tibial epiphysis. The purpose of this video is to describe a modified Ellison technique in a skeletally immature patient. Indications: Primary ACLR in skeletally immature patients at high risk of ACL graft rerupture due to their young age, a positive family history of ACL rupture in a first-degree relative, previous contra-lateral ACL rupture, generalized joint hypermobility, high-grade pivot-shift test, and participating in pivoting sports. Technique Description: The modified Ellison technique is a distally based lateral extra-articular procedure. A 1-cm strip of ITB is detached from Gerdy’s tubercle, passed beneath the lateral collateral ligament, and reattached back to from where it was removed. The fixation is within the proximal epiphysis of the tibia. Results: In a high-risk adult population, the modified Ellison technique has been shown to have a low ACL graft reinjury rate at 2 years following an ACLR. Biomechanical studies have demonstrated that a modified Ellison technique closely restores native knee kinematics following simulated anterolateral complex injury. Discussion/Conclusion: The modified Ellison technique is a safe and reproducible lateral extra-articular procedure in skeletally immature patients when performed in combination with an ACLR.
