Weak lensing predictions for modified gravities at non-linear scales (2009)
Beynon, Emma, Bacon, David J., Koyama, Kazuya
We present a set of predictions for weak lensing correlation functions in the context of modified gravity models, including a prescription for the impact of the nonlinear power spectrum regime in...
Gutman, Julie, Green, Michael, Durand, Salomon, Rojas, Ofelia, Ganguly, Babita, Quezada, Wilmer, ...
Abstract Background Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is recommended as a means of prolonging the effectiveness of first-line malaria treatment regimens. Different brands of mefloquine (MQ)...
Twist and Turn: Weak Lensing Image Distortions to Second Order (2008)
Bacon, David J., Schaefer, Bjoern Malte
We account for all the image distortions relevant to weak gravitational lensing to second order. Besides the familiar shear, convergence, rotation and flexions, we find two new image distortions, the...
Chenet, Stella M, Branch, OraLee H, Escalante, Ananias A, Lucas, Carmen M, Bacon, David J
Abstract Background Several of the intended Plasmodium falciparum vaccine candidate antigens are highly polymorphic and could render a vaccine ineffective if their antigenic sites were not...
World Antimalarial Resistance Network (WARN) II: In vitro antimalarial drug susceptibility (2007)
Bacon, David J, Jambou, Ronan, Fandeur, Thierry, Le Bras, Jacques, Wongsrichanalai, Chansuda, Fukuda, Mark M, ...
Abstract Intrinsic resistance of Plasmodium falciparum is clearly a major determinant of the clinical failure of antimalarial drugs. However, complex interactions between the host, the parasite and...
Weak gravitational shear and flexion with polar shapelets (2007)
Massey, Richard, Rowe, Barnaby, Refregier, Alexandre, Bacon, David J., Bergé, Joel
We derive expressions, in terms of 'polar shapelets', for the image distortion operations associated with weak gravitational lensing. Shear causes galaxy shapes to become elongated, and is sensitive...
Weak gravitational shear and flexion with polar shapelets (2006)
Massey, Richard, Rowe, Barnaby, Refregier, Alexandre, Bacon, David J., Berge, Joel
We derive expressions, in terms of "polar shapelets", for the image distortion operations associated with weak gravitational lensing. Shear causes galaxy shapes to become elongated, and is sensitive...
Testing Bekenstein's Relativistic MOND gravity with Lensing Data (2005)
Zhao, HongSheng, Bacon, David J., Taylor, Andy N., Horne, Keith
We propose to use multiple-imaged gravitational lenses to set limits on gravity theories without dark matter, specificly TeVeS (Bekenstein 2004), a theory which is consistent with fundamental...
Galaxy-Galaxy Flexion: Weak Lensing to Second Order (2004)
Goldberg, David M., Bacon, David J.
In this paper, we develop a new gravitational lensing inversion technique. While traditional approaches assume that the lensing field varies little across a galaxy image, we note that this variation...
An Enlarged Cosmic Shear Survey with the William Herschel Telescope (2004)
Massey, Richard, Refregier, Alexandre, Bacon, David J., Ellis, Richard, Brown, Michael L.
We report the results of a cosmic shear survey using the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope on La Palma, to a depth of R=25.8 (z~0.8), over 4 square degrees. The shear correlation functions are measured...
Image Simulation with Shapelets (2003)
Massey, Richard, Refregier, Alexandre, Conselice, Christopher J., Bacon, David J.
We present a method to simulate deep sky images, including realistic galaxy morphologies and telescope characteristics. To achieve a wide diversity of simulated galaxy morphologies, we first use the...

Involvement of a Plasmid in Virulence of Campylobacter jejuni 81-176
Bacon, David J., Alm, Richard A., Burr, Don H., Hu, Lan, Kopecko, Dennis J., Ewing, Cheryl P., ...
Campylobacter jejuni strain 81-176 contains two, previously undescribed plasmids, each of which is approximately 35 kb in size. Although one of the plasmids, termed pTet, carries a tetO gene,...
DNA Sequence and Mutational Analyses of the pVir Plasmid of Campylobacter jejuni 81-176
Bacon, David J., Alm, Richard A., Hu, Lan, Hickey, Thomas E., Ewing, Cheryl P., Batchelor, Roger A., ...
The circular pVir plasmid of Campylobacter jejuni strain 81-176 was determined to be 37,468 nucleotides in length with a G+C content of 26%. A total of 83% of the plasmid represented coding...

Bacon, David J., Latour, Christine, Lucas, Carmen, Colina, Olga, Ringwald, Pascal, Picot, Stéphane
In vitro drug susceptibility testing with the malaria parasite has been used to assess the antimalarial activities of new compounds and to monitor drug resistance in field isolates. We investigated...
