Evers, B. (author), Derakhshanfar, P. (author), Devroey, Xavier (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author)Various search-based test generation techniques have been proposed to automate the generation of unit tests fulfilling different criteria (e.g., line coverage, branch coverage, mutation score, etc.). Despite several advances made over the years, search-based unit test generation still suffers from a lack of guidance due to the limited amount of...conference paper 2020

Kulkarni, A. (author), Evers, W.H. (author), Van Waas, Thomas P. (author), Siebbeles, L.D.A. (author)Lead selenide (PbSe) nanorods are of interest for applications in infrared LEDs, lasers, and photovoltaics due to the possibility of tuning their band gap from the far- to the near-infrared by decreasing their radius. We study the photogeneration quantum yield and properties of free charges and excitons in PbSe nanorods using a combination of...journal article 2020

(author)Solution-processed quantum dot (QD) lasers are one of the holy grails of nanoscience. They are not yet commercialized because the lasing threshold is too high: one needs >1 exciton per QD, which is difficult to achieve because of fast nonradiative Auger recombination. The threshold can, however, be reduced by electronic doping of the QDs,...journal article 2020

Averbuch, G. (author), Assink, Jelle D. (author), Evers, L.G. (author)In seismology and ocean acoustics, the interface with the atmosphere is typically represented as a free surface. Similarly, these interfaces are considered as a rigid surface for infrasound propagation. This implies that seismic or acoustic waves are not transmitted into the atmosphere from subsurface sources, and vice versa. Nevertheless,...journal article 2020

Averbuch, G. (author), Waxler, Roger M. (author), Smets, P.S.M. (author), Evers, L.G. (author)In seismology, the depth of a near-surface source is hard to estimate in the absence of local stations. The depth-yield trade-off leads to significant uncertainties in the source's depth and strength estimations. Long-range infrasound propagation from an underwater or underground source is very sensitive to variations in the source's depth and...journal article 2020

(author)The detection and characterization of signals of interest in the presence of (in)coherent ambient noise is central to the analysis of infrasound array data. Microbaroms have an extended source region and a dynamical character. From the perspective of an infrasound array, these coherent noise sources appear as interfering signals which...journal article 2020

(author)Background: Both patients and physicians may choose to delay initiation of dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD) for various reasons. We used observational data to estimate the effect of earlier treatment in PD. Observational data offer a valuable source of evidence, complementary to controlled trials. Method: We studied...journal article 2020

Vroon, Jered (author), Englebienne, Gwenn (author), Evers, Vanessa (author)What if a robot could detect when you think it got too close to you during its approach? This would allow it to correct or compensate for its social ‘mistake’. It would also allow for a responsive approach, where that robot would reactively find suitable approach behavior through and during the interaction. We investigated if it is possible to...conference paper 2019

Averbuch, G. (author), Ben-Horin, Yochai (author), Smets, P.S.M. (author), Evers, L.G. (author)Measurements of seismo-acoustic events by collocated seismic and infrasound arrays allow for studying the two wavefields that were produced by the same event. However, some of the scientific and technical constraints on the building of the two technologies are different and may be contradicting. For the case of a new station, an optimal design...journal article 2019

Recorded data are processed by automatic detection algorithms based on array-processing techniques such as time-domain beam forming and f-k analysis. These algorithms use a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) value as a detection criterion. In the case...journal article 2018
